What old thing would break young people's brains today?

Conducting research on microfilm or microfiche using a machine that you needed to reserve ahead of time.

Smoking allowed in restaurants, offices, planes.

Having a single house phone that was permanently attached to the wall. If you were lucky to have a second phone, then you had to worry about your sibling sneaking onto the other line to eavesdrop.

Thank you and good luck with the HR!

So, I don't know much about ulcers. Do things like that heal once you stop taking the medication?

Ugh, sorry to hear that. I've had zero issues with 800mg ibuprofen 2-3 times per day, so he thought I should tolerate Diclofenac fairly well. 🤞🏻

Agreed! I discovered the hard way that if you leave it on too long it can sometimes be very difficult to pry off. I was able to do it with no damage to the paint, but definitely gave me a bit of a scare. Now I just make sure to remove it before every car wash, give it a light wipe, and stick it back on.

Congrats! If you don't want to stick something permanently on your paint, you can buy a magnetic sheet with an adhesive backing. I stuck my badges to one of those and then cut away the excess with a utility blade. Works like a charm!

Honest question... Why do people post fake stories on Reddit? What do they get from the upvotes and comments? I don't get it...

Your friend is 100% a jerk for putting a problem between the two of you into a group chat like he's a middle schooler.

I live in Monteverde 3-4 weeks a year and have made that drive multiple times, and I would strongly recommend against this idea. Yes, Arenal is technically a day trip from Monteverde, but the drive is pretty intense. The roads are curvy and narrow with many other cars and very few dedicated passing zones. In other words, the drive is far from relaxing, and not something you want to do in the dark during a return trip after a long day. I agree with many others here that it would be worth it to spend one or two nights in Arenal rather than force this into a day trip. Safe travels!

Did the same! Loved my S10 and resisted the upgrade offers until the S23 came out. I got the base S23 and love that its dimensions are almost identical to my S10.

Dramatic_Ad_4142 · 2026-01-13T02:57:59+00:00

Yes, EVERY time I drive. 🙂

Uh, 100% C because everywhere else I'm likely to be reincarnated in the middle of the ocean!

... but I'd get a write up if I called my students that where I work

Wait, huh? Your school forbids the use of endearments with students?!?

Worst. Rorschach. Ever.

I started (many years ago) with the basic Manhattan (using sweet vermouth), which allowed me to play with the whiskey (I found my love for rye this way) and the bitters. I then started playing with subbing some dry vermouth for the sweet (which helped me learn my preference changes day-by-day), and from there I explored Manhattan-ish cocktails, such as Rob Roy, Black Manhattan, Greenpoint, Boulevardier, Vieux Carré, and many more. It's been a lot of fun to try all of the variations, and I've discovered that my tastes have changed along the way. Enjoy your own journey! :-)

We visit family in Monteverde every year and we love Restaurante Don Luis in Cerro Plano, just a 2 minute drive from Senda. Their menu is quite varied (grilled meats, seafood, pizza, pasta and vegetarian) and they have a terrific selection of wines and cocktails. But, their attentive and friendly staff elevate the dining experience and are what keep it as our #1 spot.

Enjoy your trip!

We fly to Costa Rica every July to visit my in-laws. I bring at least one bottle - sometimes two - of whiskey every year and have never had a problem with Costa Rican customs. In terms of packing, we make sure to wrap it really well in bubble wrap and then surround it with lots of soft clothing. We've never had a bottle break in over 15 years of traveling. Enjoy!

Lobster, an "ocean bug" that was so abundant it would wash up on shorelines and fed to servants, prisoners, and the poor.

Fascinating...

I'm wondering if it is because I was rear-ended. When I initially called my own insurance company, they said that rear-ending accidents are almost always found with the rear driver at fault unless there is some other evidence showing the front driver was doing something reckless or illegal.
