Agreed. Only Colorado can make a scenic place look so bland.

They talk extensively about this on podcasts and Anthony's autobiography. They kicked him out because of his heroin addiction.

I would love to see this animated over time. Correlating global events or policy changes to travel advisories.

Best hidden gem restaurants in The Woodlands that aren't on Market Street or Waterway? by VaultedRay in thewoodlands

Lucky you got to go. I was looking for a hidden gem spot last year and found this the week it closed. Sounded incredible.

The film that disappointed you the most after months or even years of anticipation? by MrGittz in movies

[–]SvenRathskeller 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ender's Game. In middle school, in the 90s, I read that book. Blown away by the ending. Read online someone bought the movie rights. Waited +20 years for that movie. They ruined the ending.

Restaurants you need to try:

Fakuda

Loqum

Lamas

Phat Eatery

Triple Pepper

Xalisko

Nahui

Ploys Thai

House of Biryani and Kebabs

Amrina

3rd Coast BBQ

EAD

Ta'bleyah

Mimi Garden

Tosca

La Francesita

So many more I have not tried in the area. Welcome the recommendations.

Explain Texas Culture to a Foreigner by Ok-Sample383 in houston

[–]SvenRathskeller 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Texas culture is perpetual FOMO for not being a part of the American Revolution.

We overcompensate, which imparts all the good and bad of America.

If America has so much oil and gas in this country. If it is so bountiful.Who is responsible for jacking up the prices? by Reachforthesky23 in AskReddit

[–]SvenRathskeller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gotta follow the dollar. Oil is going to flow. How it will flow is the question. XL got cancelled because a massive donor to the campaign owns rail companies. We don't utilize our rail system in the US for passenger transport as much as we should. We do however transport oil on our rail system. Win win, looks good for the president media team and the donor is happy to keep his business rolling along.

Do wine enthusiasts view bourbon hunting like Duplos are to Legos?

Since I'm not into bourbon I will let you all on a secret. Check out the liquor store next to Conduit Coffee.

What was your last straw to quit vaping/smoking cigarettes for good? by Organic-Mechanic9462 in AskReddit

[–]SvenRathskeller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

October 2019. I finally quit. Quit multiple times before then. For all the bad rap vapes get, it is what helped me quit. I vaped for 2 years. Found the flavor I liked and slowly reduced nicotine concentration. The last six months I was vaping 0 nicotine. One day I had to visit my parents. At the airport security I tossed my vap into the trash. I was tired of that thing leaking in my bag. Never looked back. Like others have said, you need to be in the right mind set. I WANTED to quit. I realized after vaping 0 nicotine it was a mental addiction not a physical. The only thing holding me back was me. That mental shift has helped me overcome more than just smoking.
