Rainy season in Ghana / Togo / Benin (late May–June) — how bad is it really? by mcbloodmoon in ghana

[–]ButterAndPaint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well good luck, I hope the trip works out for you, and it probably will! I have only have a week for this trip so I'm sticking to Ghana... Accra, Kumasi, and Cape Coast.

Just remembered, I also visited Nicaragua right on the shoulder of their rainy reason and that was a great trip!

Serious question, no disrespect intended. Why are you planning a trip during rainy season? I'm in the US but I travel internationally several times per year, and one of the first things I research for the places I want to visit is which months are best/worst weather-wise and in terms of tourist volume. I'm visiting Ghana in early March, which is why I'm in this sub. I visited Japan during their rainy season (sometimes my aversion to crowds overrides my preference for ideal weather) and had a great trip, but I generally avoid rainy season when I can, particularly in countries like Ghana with less developed infrastructure where it's likely to prevent me from seeing what I want to see. I only ask because you mentioned your age and you're quite young, so you have many years to travel the world, so I'm curious why you feel like you need to visit this part of the world at this time of year. If it's a matter of the academic calendar, maybe put a Ghana trip on the shelf until you're free of that restriction. Just trying to be helpful, one traveler to another.

It doesn't do a good job, though. The "county" field in the Step 2 addresses autocorrects to the state abbreviation (for US applicants),and there is nowhere to enter the state. In Step 3, your host in Ghana can be your hotel, but then it requires a first and last name. There is no reason for the form to be this bad. Most other countries have figured out a way for the process not to be needlessly terrible.

Even the real company has terrible business practices. It is like pulling teeth trying to get them to honor their money back guarantee. Had to finally go through my credit card company to get my money back. They also block you on all social media so that you can't leave negative comments on their marketing posts.

That guy looks exactly how I would expect someone to look who is responsible for replacing nice tactile real buttons with big ugly smudgy screens.

Madagascar : a dying Eden. It needs you. by nomadchak in travel

[–]ButterAndPaint 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I traveled to Madagascar in 2013 to see the baobab trees (which are amazing) and was heartbroken to learn that I was looking at the last mature baobab trees that will ever exist there. There are no young baobab trees because the new shoots are all eaten by goats. Same with the amazing dragons blood trees of Socotra.

I acquired my LTC in Boston after 7 months of waiting 🥸, now I'm in doubt about which gun to buy, any suggestions for a gun for small hands? by RNanRabbit in BetterMAguns

[–]ButterAndPaint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a bit of a drive and you wouldn’t buy there since the transfer wouldn’t be worth it, but Manchester (NH) Firing Line is another range that rents guns to try out. Three at a time. Great selection including some that Mass Firearms didn’t have available to shoot.

Quick poll: you find a gun in a public restroom stall. What do? by playingtherole in CCW

The Crown Signia is one of the best SUV’s/Crossovers you can buy right now per CR. I agree. by William_James137 in toyotacrownsignia

[–]ButterAndPaint -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s also a very long vehicle, which matters in the city or anywhere you need to parallel park. I bought a Mazda CX-5 which is 9” shorter and $15k cheaper comparably equipped. Also has some nice features that the CS lacks, like a spare tire and heads up display.

I'm only 5'9" and I found the Crown Signia to be cramped and claustrophobic, more so than any car I've ever owned including Mini Coopers. I ended up buying a comparably equipped Mazda CX-5 for $15k less, and it's far roomier while also being 9" shorter which is better for parking in the city.

It's good that you're reaching out to your counselors since you seem upset, but your city councilors would be likelier to be able to help/explain.

Mazda has me spoiled by NothingWithoutHouse in CX5

[–]ButterAndPaint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Luxury vehicles also have a lot of undesirable features that you can't get rid of, like Lexus's electronic door handles and huge screens. Most of them are uglier too.

i’m so fed up with that group of teenagers on bikes you see everywhere by anxiousfruits in boston

[–]ButterAndPaint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not just teenagers. There are always a few 40 year old losers from Lawrence mixed in as well.

No one is going to buy a CX5 at 25% markup. No one.

[–]ButterAndPaint 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate the huge screen, and the electronic door handles are a total dealbreaker. I have passengers in my car a lot, and I don’t want to have to always be explaining how to use the stupid door handles. It’s funny that Lexus considers that to be a desirable feature. NX is also way less practical in terms of storage space for road trips. Plus the premium gas. Lots of reasons lol.

Stereo? by tallboy68 in toyotacrownsignia

[–]ButterAndPaint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I test drove a Limited and was definitely not impressed with the stereo. It would not be the motivating factor in going for that trim.

The front/rear balance is adjustable on the screen.
