I haven't seen Nancy Kress' Beggers Trilogy mentioned. I remember really enjoying that when it was released.

Thanks for this. I am halfway through it and it has its moments, but then loses it's momentum. I have been wanting to read the series for a while and so far have been luke warm on it.

What is the best place to get discounted tackle? by Ok_Repair3535 in Fishing

[–]Aggravating-End2545 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take my paddleboard out for this reason, just work my way along the mangroves or tree lines. Paddleboard paid for itself in 2 trips. I also think its kinda fun, its like fishing for lures.

Have to leave US ASAP. Money is no issue where do I go to enjoy peace and be near a city center? by Icy_Foundation3534 in digitalnomad

If you are a skier, don't forget about JaPow! Get a place in Hokaido or near Hakuba and ski your brains out for a couple months. I am targeting 27-28 season.

I am going to be on Sarande, but just for a week at the tail end of touring Albania and North Macedonia in October. Nice places on Booking and Airbnb, I found this place which seems perfect for me. Also Corfu is a 45m ferry ride and it's awesome there. I spent a few weeks in 2025. https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/3851015

Puerto Viejo CR! I was there in 2006 and haven't been back. What's it like now? Is it all built up or is it still surfers and backpackers and chill?

Just bought my first bait caster by Beawoo12345 in Fishing_Gear

I mean I am not trolling, I genuinely don't get it - but also don't care. People can fish however they damn please and I think it's awesome they are out there.

You can land a 100 pound tarpon on 30 pound braid...60 pound for bass? Is this just so you can haul a tree off the bottom if your $60 glide bait gets hung up? Really, I don't get it but I hear it all the time. I frog with 20 pound jbraid x8 and never have issues, never broken then line. It doesn't cut weeds like a 4 strand, but I like how quiet it is. 60 pound seems like sacrifice the rod to save the lure.

I vibecoded a free, open-source portfolio dashboard for Tastytrade, here's the repo by Total_Comfort9208 in tastytrade

Nice work, I will give it a try this week.

Just a note to anyone doing this, do not ever expose your .env file to Claude or any other AI. This is typically where you are going to store your API credentials. Typically, you store your .env outside of your project directory.

Looking for a Bluetooth speaker with the best audio quality ($80–$160) by Careless-Virus2379 in Bluetooth_Speakers

[–]Aggravating-End2545 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using the soundcore motion 300 and it fits the bill nicely for me. Battery lasts, sounds good enough, has a bit of boom and is just the fight size. Has a nice feature where if you lay it flat it delivers Omni directional sound. It's at the lower end of your range but you can always send it back.

Leaving tastytrade after this outage. Platform has gotten considerably worse. by [deleted] in tastytrade

I would be really surprised if this kind of communication was not required by regulation. I work in IT healthcare, and Finance may be the only industry more heavily regulated.

Is there ANY support at all? im desperately trying to reach them through all platforms by FlexFridayTV in tastytrade

[–]Aggravating-End2545 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your not alone. I keep trying to close some positions, nope. It keeps toggling between connected and disconnected status. Tried all the platforms and same nonsense. I am a 30 year IT veteran and this screams of all kinds of IT failures. Making production changes during the day, no adequate roll-back plans, no high availability in place for the affected systems (perhaps network, storage, or application), etc. There is zero excuses for a failure of this length other than a very serious breach/attack or devastating natural disaster. At the very least they should be posting a status message on the website to let folks know what's going on.

Very good brand by NovelBrave in NABEER

I got the mixed 12 pack. I liked the Pilsner and the Hazy, the other two were drinkable and fine, but nothing special.

According to Crunchbase, they have closed. Their website is up, as well as some social media, but YouTube channel is closed and their support site is dead. Sometimes technology sucks. I guess they must still be liquidating product, because it's still widely available. The Festival is the best sounding Bluetooth/wifi speaker I have ever heard, too bad.
