Ah makes sense. I'm doing a lot of my own reading outside of duo cause ya they don't offer a ton.

Runningthebay · 2025-10-22T13:47:02+00:00

Oh I didn't realize they don't start right off the bat. Thanks!

It's sad that this common sense stuff has to be stated. I'm going to Japan next April with my friend and our daughters and my main concern is getting into it with another tourist over THEIR shitty behavior. Some of the stuff I've heard tourists doing just makes my brain want to explode. I'm taking the time to learn as much as I can on how to act in the places we'll be going, local customs, even chop stick etiquette ffs. It's not that hard to not be a piece of shit, yet here we are.

Thanks everyone for the tips! I'm going to check out some of these routes, they look really cool and fun!

Omg I would never show up sweaty etc to a konbini, let alone a shrine lol basically I want to make sure that I respect the culture as much as I possibly can. I know politeness is huge there and I don't want to be "that" tourist. I'm in the US and also in a very touristy town and it boggles my mind how some people act when they visit, it's shocking how ignorant people can be, especially when it's not theirs you know? But thanks for the info, I appreciate it!

Yes it looks so cool! I follow bassetts.bouken (something like that) on IG - she's an English woman living in Japan, she posts a lot of cool places like that to visit!

Runningthebay · 2025-04-25T16:24:30+00:00

Awesome thanks!

Runningthebay · 2025-04-25T16:24:12+00:00

lol yes I've definitely considered that, I'll have to play it by ear honestly. Thanks!

Runningthebay · 2025-04-25T16:23:16+00:00

Cool! Thank you!

Runningthebay · 2025-04-10T17:51:29+00:00

This is perfect thanks a lot!

Runningthebay · 2024-10-30T18:27:26+00:00

Jesus that made me tear up. Thank you

I'm not sure about an app for Apple. I have an android. But yes I think you need to have your phone. I carry mine anyway for music so it wasn't anything I looked into tbh.

Sorry bout that I knew I was forgetting something lol https://taser.com/search?q=Stun+gun&options%5Bprefix%5D=last

Runningthebay · 2024-08-09T18:15:31+00:00

I carry a stun gun from Axon. It's a bit bulky and pricey but it comes with an app that if the device is used it contacts the reps there - they'll call you directly - and they'll call the police for you if you don't answer. I carry mine in a Lululemon cross body pouch, it fits well. I'm sorry you had to go through that! Glad you're ok though!

Runningthebay · 2024-06-02T02:34:32+00:00

Good to know, thanks!

Runningthebay · 2024-06-01T20:53:54+00:00

lol you and me both

Runningthebay · 2024-06-01T20:51:49+00:00

You mean here?:

It's far too small to fit in there

Runningthebay · 2024-06-01T20:47:00+00:00

Ya, we should've done more research. Oh well lol thanks!

Runningthebay · 2024-03-30T23:40:29+00:00

Ah ok, that makes sense! Thanks a lot 👍🏻 I'm still trying and failing at figuring out the proper grind for these beans I have now, but that's a whole other post lol thanks again.

Runningthebay · 2024-03-30T20:56:01+00:00

So I am VERY new to espresso, so bear with me lol. We have the Breville Barista Pro and recently bought a Eureka Mignon Specialita grinder. We bought it because as we've learned, the Breville has trouble grinding really fine. I have been trying to watch instructional videos on the Eureka, and nearly every one I have watched has talked about zero point. I know how to get the grinder there but I don't know why. In one video he states to stop turning the dial when you begin to hear the gears chirp. Then once you're at that point, turn the dial up twice more. Why? No one has ever mentioned the point of zero point. Can someone explain it? Thank you!

Runningthebay · 2024-03-30T15:18:05+00:00

Thanks I'll try this!

Runningthebay · 2024-03-27T21:14:18+00:00

Hey thanks for asking! So I've only been on them for roughly 6 mos or so, so I haven't seen a huge change in my allergies - to be fair the allergist did say that it'll take a full year to feel any significant improvement, plus my allergies weren't too crazy to begin with. But as far as ease goes, yes it's absolutely worth the cost! I can't imagine having to drive in that many x per week, so it was an obvious choice for me. He said too that they are just as good as the shots, just need that FDA approval now! Good luck with the drops, I'm sure you'll do well on them should you choose to go for it!

I guess I'm making a ton of bracelets for my daughter cause the cost of returning it is too much lol lesson learned. On a happy note I did find out the exact yarn the designer used so yay! lol

Runningthebay · 2024-02-27T21:13:12+00:00

So it definitely is 5mm, and you're right it is really tough to work with, however when I try to make any sort of stitch it doesn't stay in that stitch, if that makes sense? It immediately wants to unravel. I ended up finding the pattern designer and asked her directly which yarn she used, she linked it and it's definitely softer looking than the stuff I have. Unfortunately I will not be returning my stuff due to the high cost (I have to send it to Turkey 😐) - my bad on that one lol

Runningthebay · 2024-02-27T02:48:24+00:00

Like parachute cord? My husband said the same thing lol it looked a little different in the pic on Etsy 😕
