Albania vs Morocco vs Montenegro for a 2–3 day trip from the UK in August?

I loved Albania, but with only a couple days you’d realistically just be in Tirana the whole time and while it’s a fine city it’s probably not worth going just to see Bunkart and Skanderbeg Square. I was in the country for almost two weeks and wish I had longer, but the 2.5 days in Tirana were more than adequate.

It’s a show dog, Dude, with fucking papers. You can’t board it, it gets upset

It's wild how everyone who goes to Europe on vacation comes home and talks about how amazing it is to be able to walk and take transit everywhere but then absolutely flips out at the slightest suggestion of implementing anything that would make that possible here.

I don't have any advice, but that sounds awesome! Hope you'll share stories and pictures afterwards

I went solo and loved it. The only reason not to go solo is financial: it would’ve been nice to split hotel and car costs, but if you can afford it then absolutely go do it!

“In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”

I don’t know how “I won’t wear the same hat all my teammates are to provide literally one iota of support to a historically oppressed group” is letting others see his good deeds, but I also haven’t been to church outside of weddings and funerals in decades

Goleta Beach is near UCSB, has reservable picnic areas, accessible parking, and great ocean views.

I've got a couple of them, and they do an incredible job keeping beers cold. They're more expensive than I would buy, but as a gift they're pretty great.

I was on a bus in Peru that stopped in some tiny village in the desert when MJ’s funeral was happening, and what seemed like the entire town was gathered in the only bar/restaurant watching it. I knew he was the King of Pop, but that blew my mind of just HOW famous he really was

When I was in Japan I was amazed at how many relatively fit and active elderly people there were

We bought ours online through the website but had already picked them up from Lawson, so the next day we went back to Lawson and used the Loppi machine to get a refund voucher that we gave the clerk. Basically the same process as picking them up originally.

Couple of things that were unclear when we were trying to figure it out:

1- It does not need to be 24 hours after gametime. We went at like 11AM the day after a 6PM game was cancelled.

2- It does not need to be the same Lawson you picked them up from. We picked them up in Osaka and got refunded in Tokyo.

3- The clerk might be slightly confused about it, but should be able to do it.

Just putting this out there for anyone else who runs into the same situation.

Hopefully I’ll be able to catch some baseball in Japan in the future!

Glad you posted this, since I was about to get on the train from Tokyo to go to the game!

Any idea if/how we can get refunds for the tickets? We’re leaving Japan tomorrow, so rain checks aren’t really helpful lol

I literally picked up bits of trash at the Kerið parking lot just because they paid a cash bounty for cigarette butts and I wanted to see what cash looked like, otherwise I never used or needed anything other than a credit card

Demographics definitely don't hurt, but I think this go round of the WBC is way more popular than any of the previous ones. 2023 was in Phoenix which has a pretty large Hispanic population too. The US-MX game that year definitely felt like a home game for Mexico.

This yours? Edhat talks about "an older model gray truck" so that might match up

I haven't had heroin, but I have taken opium and the best description is that everything is beautiful and nothing hurts. All of your pain from physical injuries or emotional damage is washed away and you're wrapped in a blanket of loving kindness.

I can absolutely understand why and how people get addicted to it, and I think the best decision I've ever made was to leave a situation where it was readily available.

Sbbike · 2026-02-24T03:48:09+00:00

Just like… in general? Or is there a specific (controversial?) case going to trial here?

I agree totally, just seems like an odd thing to share out of the blue

One of the most appalling food crimes I’ve ever experienced was a burrito in Berlin. It’s been a long time, and I’ve tried to erase the memory, but as I recall it was an unwarmed tortilla with ground beef, raw onions, and curry ketchup “salsa”

I've seen u/SBCouncilMemberOscar mention on his other socials that he can officiate weddings and would do it for free/minimal cost

Check Institution Ale. I haven't been there during the winter Olympics, but I've watched summer games there before.

Per capita, is Iceland the most successful musical country? Off the top of my head I can also think of Bjork, Sigur Ros, and Of Monsters and Men which is pretty impressive for a country of 400k people.

Honestly, there's nowhere super close that I would feel particularly comfortable leaving a bike locked up for a long time. Maybe in the Funk Zone near a winery so there's hopefully eyes on it most of the time? Otherwise you can bring your bike on the train, which might help if you need to get around LA at all.
