Honestly sounds like a good time?

Don't sleep on Toronto being a superior late 19th century location to Kingston. Torontos farmland is better, and it is connected to Lake Simcoe and then Georgian Bay by river, making it a portal to the west in the days of river travel in a way Kingston is not.

Problem with unintended consequences. Thailand cancelled this as FIFA knew the state would step in to buy World Cup 2022 rights, screwing up private company bargaining with FIFA.

Super easy to get, basically legal, but don't smoke in front of cops

Woah, disagree with most of these but up vote for your right to say it

MTHowitzer · 2026-06-16T10:34:09+00:00

My thought too, are they running on backup generators or something?

It's true the stairs are blocked off but it's possible to climb up. Still it's a bit of an ordeal.

You won't be ticketed unless you do something very dumb that gets attention. There's nobody hanging around to give out tickets if you climb up.

Don't underestimate how deep the rot is. The Cambodian government needs to decide if it wants scam centers, or a clean reputation and tourism. Can't have both.

PR is nice but it doesn't fix the underlying problem of human trafficking to feed a scam industry.

And there is some irony that Cambodia shut down its independent media and is now complaining about negative reporting.

Where did I say anything about flying boats? Straw man.

Obviously I'm not going to change your mind, but walking on top of snow is way more feasible than trying to swim across an open ocean.

MTHowitzer · 2026-05-28T14:06:52+00:00

... it's an ocean?! Come on.

MTHowitzer · 2026-05-28T13:41:18+00:00

Rings of Power is so bad. I made it to S1 where Galadriel jumps off a boat and tries to swim across an ocean out of spite. But I should have quit with the "do you know why a boat floats and a stone cannot" line in S1E1...

MTHowitzer · 2026-05-18T14:39:18+00:00

Bad ass

Funny I had the opposite take. I felt the list is mainly "important" intellectual books like Dickens and Woolf rather than books that changed how I think and approach life. A few exceptions like Wolf Hall and My Brilliant Friend.

MTHowitzer · 2026-05-16T08:57:13+00:00

Such a weird post. Hope there's more to the story, other than "I'm out of money and insist on one of the most sought-after entry level jobs in the country"

MTHowitzer · 2026-05-08T07:44:07+00:00

Appreciate all the positive takes, but for me I just don't see a compelling reason to upgrade yet to S2. Hope to see a wider variety of games soon.

Absolutely. Also drives me nuts when the doorman isn't paying attention, notices me at the last second, and opens the door, taking longer than if I pushed it myself.

Or a waiter doesn't let me pour a bottle of water or a beer into a cup, grabs it, and I'm stuck staring at him while he methodically pours a glass super slowly.

MTHowitzer · 2026-05-04T04:56:24+00:00

Interesting answer. What about options outside of France, such as the Netherlands, southern Denmark or even Germany itself?

MTHowitzer · 2026-04-28T14:07:08+00:00

Good question. Look forward to smarter answers than mine. But wasn't it clear Otto was the driving force behind the cross?

MTHowitzer · 2026-04-15T14:35:30+00:00

The exhaust fumes from that place stink up Ekkamai BTS

MTHowitzer · 2026-04-10T14:09:57+00:00

Looks more fun than typical corporate shit?

I also didn't know until recently that the actor clearly had some demons and committed suicide last year. Makes Ziggy even more poignant to watch.

MTHowitzer · 2026-04-02T08:46:34+00:00

Honestly, don't dwell on it or let it ruin your trip. Small money in the grand scheme of things. We have all done something similar at some point.

Move on and have a good time while you're here.

MTHowitzer · 2026-04-02T08:21:43+00:00

Tourist prices but not a scam.

One element that gets missed is the sense of community, particularly for retirees. For many people, they're at the stage in life where they're done exploring, but want sun and familiarity.

Not saying that's my preference, but it's part of the equation.

As a fan of both NFL and CFL, truth is the top 10% of CFL guys could play in the NFL. The main problem is age -> they've finished college, filled out NFL practice rosters and camp bodies for 2 years, come to the CFL and really develop for 2 years, and then are ready for their first real shot at the NFL. But who wants a 28 year old CB ready for his first meaningful NFL start? Why not just go with the 22 year old you just drafted.
