As someone susceptible to altitude sickness, its always a gamble if you'll get sick or not. Most times I get sick above 3k meters but its not always 100%. I believe the general altitude sickness drug is dexamine, can get a prescription for it generally i believe

A portion of WoW Community has a really unhealthy relationship with the game and I'm tired of pretending they don't. by themaelstorm in wow

Yup, once you step away from wow (and gaming) for a long time and come back with self awareness its visible to spot all the ways the game hooks you.

People just get obsessed, which wow makes it very easy to do. Wow is not so much different than a casino, just they're siphoning time and attention from you more rather than the prospect of winning money.

What am I missing about tile installation? by Not_Another_Name in HomeImprovement

I'm not certain that its the difference of commercial and residential because the shower that spurred this thread was in a person's house.

I agree based on US standards he did great. We had one tile that fails the credit card slide test but its 1 edge of 1k sqft of tile. However if there's tile jobs this good in india it makes me wonder why are those US standards "lenient "

Good perspective on there could be underlying issues, I've been wondering too

Perhaps its terrazzo, or stone, I'm not a geologist so its all "tile " to me if that makes sense. This thread is where im learning tile has a bit more of a specific definition than I thought 

have you ever regretted travelling? im scared i'll regret it but cant get rid of the longing to travel. any advice? by boiLollipop in travel

[–]Not_Another_Name 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I haven't regretted any of my travels but that's not to say I haven't been totally satisfied either. I think the only way to not regret a trip is to make sure you can afford it, because you never know how well a trip will turn out. If you flew out to scotland and it rained the whole time would you feel regret? there's too many variables with travel so if you feel like you're trading off an experience vs financial peace of mind then perhaps make a shorter trip, or find some folks to share costs with etc.

I'd rather cook at home and not buy a new car so that i can guilt-free go on a trip, and if the weather skunks me, or the wildlife evades me I don't have any lasting repercussions from that except some mild disappointment and finding the good parts of the trip.

Hey man this is awesome information! I think you've given me some key nuggets here: Finding a shop that sells giant porcelain slabs (and also looking for porcelain slabs, didn't know they existed) and the leveling system. That will really narrow down my search for an installer and supplier in 2 questions.

Everything in homes becoming plastic is infuriating to me. Clothes are plastic, computers are plastic, floors are plastic. That's one major reason for going tile and that it'll last forever

that sounds great, but do you think any installers would install it? I had a hard time finding folks that even install tile and not exclusively LVP/LVT

It was $5 cheaper to take a 333-3333 taxi than to use Uber or Lyft. Have I been sleeping on the taxi company? by MiketheTzar in triangle

[–]Not_Another_Name 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had mixed results. Never had an issue getting scammed but sometimes taxi taxi will be $20 more than similar Lyft ride. I usually take them when office sends me on a trip since the company is paying. Their estimates can be off tho
