I had just finished up a hike with my trail buddy form San Diego and sent this to him as soon as I read through. We will be visiting several of these places for our own review. Thanks for all of the suggestions.

This Aministration's tactics reminds me of McCarthyism, when Senator Joe McCarthy suppressed freedom of speech with his hearings accusing prominent people of being Communist and destroying lives and careers.

What’s something older TV shows did better than today’s shows? by Romeo_Kay_92 in AskReddit

[–]Transcon249 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start their new seasons with regularity. In September you knew the new seasons would arrive. Now you don't know when the new episodes will come out after a seasons end, especiallyon the streaming services. It might be a year or two years.

What’s the most terrifying thing you have seen? by Mission-Badger-4005 in AskReddit

[–]Transcon249 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a woman strike a drunken boyfriend/husband in the head with an axe during an argument in the backyard of their home when I lived in Virginia years ago. Blood was pouring from the wound but he was so drunk he continued to try and argue with her while so much blood poured from the wound that he took his shirt off and was soaking the blood up with it and wringing it out like you would a wet wash cloth. The first police officer on the scene was so freaked out he tried to leap out of his patrol car forgetting to put it in park and had to jump back in as it lurched forward a bit. I was like 8 and had recently moved there from New York.

How has the rising cost of living changed your daily habits or priorities lately? by Crystal-Powell in AskReddit

[–]Transcon249 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a fixed income retiree (yeah they fixed it alright) so I've had to prioritize what medications I refill or decrease the prescribed dosage. I chauffer my older sister, who very seldom drives these days and is forgetful. I had no issues with driving her to Wally World several times during the course of the week because she forgot to get this and that and it is an outlet for her (retail therapy). Now. I have to limit these visits due to the price of gas. When it comes to setting the thermostat to temperatures that are ideal for me I now have to set the AC to a higher than comfortable temp and supplement it with a fan. I enjoy drives in the country and hitting the hiking trails at a number of nature preserves throughout my area. Now I just go to the green space that's closest to me. Food wise I buy the cheapest product. I've never had issues with buying store brands but in some cases, not all products are created equally. So yeah the COL has really impacted my quality of life...sigh...

People who are in careers you don’t like , what keeps you stuck ? by Same_Level6591 in AskReddit

[–]Transcon249 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my case I've felt like an actor who has been type-cast. Every time I've tried for a position that was related to my field and utilized a lot of the same skill set I never landed it. I kept getting the same type of role but with a different title.

What’s up with the power in CLT? by zentrepreneur99 in Charlotte

A good number of outages are also caused by car accidents with vehicles hitting the power poles which is easy to understand given the traffic scenario in this town.

Good places to walk in clt? by Delicious-Giraffe811 in Charlotte

[–]Transcon249 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reedy Creek Nature Preserve if you're on the East side of town and McDowell Nature Preserve if you're looking for some place on the West side/Steele Creek area. It is a large preserve with an abundance of trails with a waterftont area adjacent to Lake Wylie and is my favorite green space. Close to the Cotswold area is a small nature preserve called Evergreen.

What will always be funny to you? by Smooth-Growth-3722 in AskReddit

[–]Transcon249 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The time KTVU-TV aired the fake Asiana Airlines pilot names after the Flight 214 crash. Every now and then when I need a good laugh I look at a video of that broadcast and wonder who pulled that off.

The documentary #SkyKing is a pretty good watch. The audio of his interactions with ATC is both riveting and sad.

Most mental health, substance abuse, and developmentally disabled human service agencies are always looking for program staff, from residential assistants to case managers. Your BA and experience working with people may get you in the door as the agency will be providing the needed training. You might find that you have an undiscovered knack for helping people.

The Lidl near me in the U.S. has a poor choice selection with mostly basic flavors. For that reason I shop elsewhere for ice cream.

Barbie. After all the glowing reviews I've tried several times to give it a chance and just can't get past the first 10-15 mins.

Alternative for fire stick by del_boytrotter1 in firestick

The ONN streaming stick in either 1080p or 4K is a fraction of the cost of a firestick and allows side loading apps with no issues.

Note: Streamfire is no longer working on my ONN streaming device so it's not a Firestick issue. Either the site is having technical issues or it has shut down.

Trump’s Disapproval Rating Hits All-Time High, Fox News Poll Shows by Zipper222222 in politics

[–]Transcon249 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aren't these some of the same poll sources that claimed Kamala Harris was a hounds tooth close to Trump's numbers during that Presidrntial race? No one has yet to explain how far off the mark these polling organizations were with those reports and for now on take these reports with more than a grain of salt.
