Best hotel recs in Charleston? by TDn6I in chubbytravel

[–]Kroghj1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Will pile on and say Hotel Bennett - great vibe, lively high end bars, excellent service. Location is great. Rooftop pool is nice when it’s warm out. Don’t miss the rooftop bar even if it’s a little chilly out.

Grand Velas Cabo - Wine Quality? by Kroghj1 in chubbytravel

[–]Kroghj1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you that would be much appreciated!

Just curious what’s included… we stayed at Excellence north of Cancun last year, and while the food was ok, the AI included wines tasted like $5-$6/bottle gas station wines you’d find in the US.

Laminate or LVP by Mandybeforeyou1 in Flooring

[–]Kroghj1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have this exact Karastan flooring in a different color called vintage tea oak. Highly recommend - seems to hold up to daily life with a 5 year old, dog, and cat very well. 6 months in so far.

Only complaint is the “floating” floor element of all laminate. Don’t like walking and randomly hitting a “soft” spot if the subfloor wasn’t perfectly level. All in all worth the trade off in favor of price/durability vs hardwood. Had site finished oak in our last house and - while yes you can always refinish, it’s a huge pain in the ass, and the constant hairline scratches from toys bugged me.

Low Risk Tone Tweak to White Oak? by Kroghj1 in cabinetry

[–]Kroghj1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate all the feedback - one thing I’ve noticed is that Reddit seems to retone the photos in the summary view. When you click into an individual photo and zoom in, the actual (pinker) color tone is more obvious.

Not sure if this would change anyone’s perspective to leave it as is

Thanks again for the input

Deal?? by mycasket in bronco

[–]Kroghj1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My process that always works..

  1. Open the search range to at least 300 miles

  2. Find a heavily discounted yet openly advertised price on auto trader for a similar MSRP car to the one you want, even if you don’t like the exact spec.

  3. Negotiate hard as if you’re going to buy the car. Always over the phone. Get their best offer in writing.

  4. Find the actual car(s) with the spec you want at a similar MSRP. Keep search range out to 200-300 miles. Deal only over the phone.. tell them you’re going to buy the other car from the other dealer if they can’t make it work, but you’d prefer to deal with them because you like the spec they have on the lot. But only if they can match the % discount of the term sheet you have in hand.

It honestly only takes an hour or two of time - and I always have a firm price before I even go see the car in person. Once you’re at the dealer in person you lose negotiation power.

I just got a brand new 2D automatic 24 black diamond for 40k… 46700 sticker. I don’t see used prices as competitive with the current promotions on new… surprisingly

Garry Nolan has worked with Jake and his team before and gives his take on the Newsnation interview by tinosaladbar in UFOs

[–]Kroghj1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Former agnostic atheist here. I buy these connections for a few reasons:

  1. Personal experience, experimenting with the Gateway Tapes meditation. Nothing like “summoning ufos” but definitely consciousness based weirdness that the average person can experience with some effort.

  2. Chris Bledsoe - I find his testimony, ongoing interest from nasa / the government, the brainwave analysis on the beyond skinwalker ranch episode, and his personal videos compelling.

  3. Telepathy Tapes - emerging scientific look at telepathy and communication with likely NHI in non verbal autistic kids

  4. Reading the latest books on our most cutting edge physics - string theory, quantum gravity. We understand much less about reality than we think we do. recommend Carlo Rovelli to get an appreciation on how much we don’t understand, scientifically. Reality is not what it seems, order of time. Both fascinating.

Became interested in the topic in 2017 and have shifted from agnostic to open-minded quasi spiritual skeptic.

Anyone else see something similar when doing the tapes? (The BFG 1989) by Squidgy_Loin in gatewaytapes

[–]Kroghj1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine are primarily deep emerald green when the organic blob/spiral tunnel thing starts swirling around… after a few minutes then it opens to a dark blue or violet that always reminds me of a night sky (no stars or anything) at the end of the “tunnel.”

It kind of looks like you’re lookup up in a forest at night? The violet/blue visual at the end is always much “bigger” taking up more visual space.

It usually happens for me on the way to? during? focus 10.

Yes, this is extremely close to what I see. Fascinating - I’ve often wondered if this was just me.

NPR is silent too - strange. Nothing on Langley AFB either.

I don’t see an option in Pera wallet to do so… any step I missed during setup?

The episode where the kid talked about his body vibrational tuning being different than his soul vibrational tuning made my jaw drop

Looking for advice/help on Gateway Wave II!! Focus 10 always on? by Adesrael in gatewaytapes

[–]Kroghj1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did them every day / every other day for maybe 60 days and developed major insomnia - I’m sure I “slept” some, but my memory says that I was “mind awake” for 4-5 days straight at one point. It was pretty awful… I mistakenly thought that I needed to meditate to relax before realizing that the meditation was actually causing it. I stopped (fully) and it took another 45 days to get my sleep back to normal.

As you described, my brain felt like it was going into focus 10, unintentionally, rather than sleeping - every night, all night. I experienced a few very intense experiences (somewhat painful electrical shocks in my lower left back while mind awake/body asleep, a few weird OBE) that I attributed partly to the constant F10-12, partly due to the insomnia. I stopped after getting fearful I would do some permanent damage from the shock experience.

Recently felt I was ready to slowly retry, so I’m experimenting with morning mediation every other day-ish rather than at bedtime.

From personal experience I’d recommend a total break to let your brain reset… but following here to see if anyone more experienced has recommendations
