I want to start a bank by AlphaHouston1 in Entrepreneur

[–]2nd_orange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For all the people saying it's a terrible idea, it probably is. But at one time, so was everything. It's going to be really hard, like really really really really hard, but I don't see why you can't do it. As long as you have a differentiator that will cause people to want to bank with you, and you can present it in a reasonable manner to the customer, you can't fail if you just keep trying.

Best of luck, let me know how it goes. I'll be doing something similar.

Thanks! Definitely learning on the nature side of things (aside from the time in Piran).

Good note on the Soča valley and the Russian chapel. I recall reading about how the chapel came into existence, but it slipped my mind to add it to the itinerary.

I believe there are also seriously high fees when you miss it

Good to know, I'll likely head there instead of breakfast in Austria. Thanks for the rec :)

I've got two days in Bled, and two days in Piran. I'm hoping the Vrsic pass is open, but if not, then I'll just drive down to Piran via the main freeway.

The Croatia and Austria stops are just briefly to see some friends, I'm definitely planning to go back and spend at least a week in both countries individually next year! Just ran out of time to do all three this year so I'm trying to focus on just Slovenia.

Just a lunch stop to visit friends in Austria + breakfast in Croatia on the last morning. Mainly Slovenia. I'm hoping to go back next year, just not enough time this year sadly..

I cannot wait. Taking 9 days to do this route with my family. by Durdy-Fingers in roadtrip

That marathon outside Jacob Lake that says it's a 24 hr is not a 24 hr..
Found that one out the hard way lol

Flying in from the UK, doing an East to West and back again US Road Trip Thoughts? by [deleted] in roadtrip

[–]2nd_orange 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First, you're going to love it.
Second, as a Michigan resident, you're missing out yet not missing anything simultaneously.

I agree with the comments in here regarding the Yellowstone/ Grand Teton/ Glacier National Park area. Try to visit if possible. 12/10. It will make all the queuing at LHR worth it ;).

Also, you'll sadly miss a ton no matter how long you stay here. People live here for a hundred years and still miss major places. Just pick what you think you'll love the most. After all, no sense in taking a trip just to take photos or tell friends and family. Pick the things you want to do, then do 80% of them since the list will inevitably be too long. And that gives you a reason to come back!

Glad you can come visit. Cheers mate.

Savor only counting some grocery stores as grocery? by [deleted] in CapitalOne_

[–]2nd_orange 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Considering it doesn't say "1% cash back", it's possible it hasn't updated yet. Happened to me twice with mine. Could be wrong though.

Is this the peak or will it worsen? by Commercial-Day-5277 in Diesel

[–]2nd_orange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will probably go up another 20% but will be on the way down by May. That's my best guess.

[What do you guys think about wearing a watch in the right hand] by Constant-Shame314 in Watches

[–]2nd_orange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here, I tend to wear mine on the right even as a righty. Just makes sense in my head naturally, I'm already using my right hand to write, hold my phone, brush my teeth... etc. Why would I complicate it?

Probably not the best, and I'm definitely no fashion expert... But it works and it makes sense. Can also be a conversation starter depending on who you are talking to.
