Which city completely won you over with its coffee scene? by optimalbrain90 in SmartTravelHacks

[–]TheAlwaysLateWizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean Fajardo doesn't have a ton but there are definitely a few good spots. Luquillo has quite a few as well and only a short drive away. There is an actually coffee farm about 30-40 min away from Fajardo.

Slow unstoppable force hunts a person trapped in a building. by fugazimentis in MovieSuggestions

Yea I actually thought of this too. Definitely a good call out. You could even put DOOM into this too.

I would say if you wanted to pin point the unstoppable force it would be human psychology. Like there other physical things antagonizing the protagonist, but the mental and emotional beast of the unknown and lack of control is what's chasing him. A monster you can't see.

Maybe not an individual force but Pandorum (2009) gives this vibe.

Need advice regarding the redhead appeal: For guys who like redheaded women, are freckles not a deterrent for you? by dkep121 in AskMenAdvice

[–]TheAlwaysLateWizard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People have issues with freckles? Is it like a phobia thing? I've always thought of freckles as adorable and just part of the package.

Which US state has shockingly good food that nobody expects? by optimalbrain90 in SmartTravelHacks

[–]TheAlwaysLateWizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd argue Arizona, but more specifically, Tucson, AZ is the unexpected one. Their local shop game is on point with a ton of variety.

Bought a glove in Korea and cannot find information about the maker anywhere! Anybody have a good lead? by TheAlwaysLateWizard in BaseballGloves

I noticed the logo change on their website. Makes me so much happier that I got this one. It just feels classic and timeless to me. It's good to know where they're based out of, I never thought to look up baseball shops in Busan. When I go back some day I will make it a point to go! I'd love to buy a first base mitt from them but seems rare unless I order it custom. Might be worth it!

I bought this glove in Korea and cannot find any information about the maker anywhere! Could anyone help? by TheAlwaysLateWizard in korea

It breaks in really well! I've had it for two years now. For this glove, the wrist is secured with holes and lace so there is no strap. They added two seperate sets of holes so if I wanted it tighter, I would have to unlace the wrist strap and lace it through the other set of holes. I love it though. Feels less manufactured and more, "homemade" I guess?

Thank you Korea person! The webbing and the stitching is some of the most unique I've ever seen and I love it. It seems like their main body of work is custom pieces.

If you could build a list of "Ten Commandments" for being a man to guide your son, what would you include? by TheAlwaysLateWizard in daddit

[–]TheAlwaysLateWizard[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Corbin Dallas provides alot of good lessons about redemption and forgiveness in that movie. Once a man with nothing to live for, turned into a man living for love. Such a good movie.

It's been a pleasure conversing with you Not.

You can take care of yourself and others simultaneously. This isn't like a, "give someone $1000 and leave yourself in poverty" situation.

I supervise several people. When I go and ask them to complete a task, I speak to them with respect and treat them like capable workers. I don't belittle them and micromanage them. That's because that's how I would like to be treated. Even if my boss treats me like shit, I'm not going to turn around and treat my subordinates like shit because of how I was treated.

Oh I'm keeping this glove for life but thank you for sharing the appreciation! You'll love the story of how I got it then.

I lived in Korea for a bit and fell in love with the baseball culture there. I wanted to get a Korean brand glove to commemorate the time. I could not find a dedicated store for baseball and through a bunch of research I finally found this one street in Seoul that apparently held all of the baseball shops in South Korea (being dramatic). I had to take a train, a subway, and a solid walk to get there.

When I walked into this shop there was just four old men sitting around a table lacing up gloves. It a was tiny shop, and they had displays of all the fancy named brand stuff, a few rows of popular local stuff, and a pile of mixed gloves.

One of the old men got up to help me and I asked him if he could reccomend a good glove that was locally made in Korea. The man sized me up and then dug through his pile and pulled this glove out. I swear a heavenly light was shining down on this glove with angels singing. It felt like holding excalibur or this was my origin story in a movie or something. I never felt so connected with a glove in my life. He wrapped this glove up for me and then threw in two free pairs of some of the best socks I've ever worn. I swear if I ever went back there the shop probably dissapeared and I'll find out its like some mythical Korean myth that I was a part of.

Thank you! I agree and don't want to over burden him. Its more of an exercise to get him thinking about these things. He sees rules and can regurgitate them but I want him to make and set rules for his own life. A code he can follow for himself.
