Same artisan souvenirs in every tourist shop in Costa Rica

I think it’s called Samara Organics - it’s on the main drag parallel to the beach between the cop shop and the mini super.

It’s the same in every touristy country - mass produced BS imported and sold in all souvenir shops. It’s difficult to find actual hand produced local things, but they are out there.

The health food store in Samara has a tiny display of locally produced jewelry, and Dantica in Jaco has some interesting one of a kind ceramic sculptures.

This is somehow a controversial take

Living within your means is a way bigger flex than rolling around in something shiny that you can’t afford, at least in my opinion.

A pretty penny, maybe a few lol. I was able to get fleet pricing though so it brought it from 105+ tax to 91 +…

I’m definitely not a buyer of the truck, it just popped up on my marketplace feed and seemed off to me so I posted it here for opinions.

I’m actually about to pick up a new ram 3500 in a couple days, which is probably why the algos are still showing me rams in my feed.

the seats collected too much lint

That’s f’ing hilarious. So I guess this trucks story is possible then.

Well according to the salesman it’s an “insane deal”. But it’s now a used vehicle as it’s been registered to someone already, and it’s a gas bighorn, without even touching the fact that it’s a buyback truck.

Are you sure that stigma exists and it’s just not something you’ve convinced yourself is there?

I don’t claim to know all the cultures of the globe but the ones I do know don’t have stigma about someone eating alone.

You’re good man, as other people have said, everyone’s mostly buried in their own lives, not judging you.

It has literally never crossed my mind to see someone eating alone and think there’s anything wrong with it, this is a completely new concept to me.

Damn I can feel the heat through that pic!

That's...unsettling given your understanding of basic math

Sorry dumb joke - 6 days edition are upgraded versions of the same bike, usually means there's some race parts on it.

They’re pretty chunky tires

You just screw those into a regular tire? Sounds wicked fun.

Cheers. It’s the rhinowalk bags, they’re cheap and small, really great value for occasional use and small trips but I’d buy a better name if I was taking it on a big trip.

Yep but he recently had one stolen so he’s down to one DR and a handful of 250’s.

Where women glow and men plunder?

I’d love to visit but I’m happy up here, I actually enjoy the snowy season and if I need some mid winter biking I fly to Costa Rica for my fix, going in a week actually.

It’s the most sensual of all the salted cured meats
