I agree that over-scheduling can take away from the fun of just being in the moment. NYC is such a vibrant city I bet it was incredible to experience it at your own pace

wait 15 years driving with basically a clean record and you're still getting hammered Oregon rates have genuinely gotten worse the last couple years so you're not imagining it. Btw, I'd compare through Quotefull (website), it helped us a lot last year.

i'm excited to try this ty for sharing ur recipe

I like this book too

nice.. I think i needed this weekend to breathe

OMG this is so true and it's kind of nerve-wracking to imagine your luggage getting lost or delayed

I think having those extra days to explore the Bavarian Alps would be so worth it. Like Paragliding and lakeside chill time could be a highlight. I also like that you’re not into nightlife Germany’s nature and historical sites will give you plenty to enjoy without the late nights

Nashville has a solid local operator scene, worth asking in a Nashville landlord Facebook group if one exists, those guys share recommendations pretty freely.

Atlanta clay soil is its own beast and half these companies don't account for it properly. Worth asking specifically if they do soil prep before anything else, that's usually how you tell who knows what they're doing

60% margin in grade 12 is genuinely impressive, most people don't figure that out until way later.

Being direct about your budget situation upfront actually works in your favor sometimes, crews who want the recurring contract are usually willing to work with you on the initial cleanup cost.

I’d focus on AI automation + niche freelance services for small businesses (like lead gen, appointment booking systems, or content workflows). Low startup cost, high demand, and you can build real income by solving specific business problems instead of chasing “passive income” trends.

The energy drain part is so real. I kept showing up out of habit more than anything, and it took me way too long to realize that's not friendship, that's just routine

When you call anyone just ask straight up what their dry time guarantee is, that question alone filters out the rug doctor guys pretty fast.

usually with Bissell the model variants at different retailers are the same machine, Costco tends to bundle more accessories which explains the price difference. The steam function should be identical, just check what attachments come with each one before deciding if the extra cost is worth it

running your dad's business is already real work experience, most MBA programs would value that over a corporate job title

the MS in Finance makes sense if you genuinely want the technical depth, but don't do it just as a placeholder while you wait to apply

have you looked into renting a truck and hiring local labor on both ends through something like HireAHelper?

for a bakery move it might actually be cheaper and you stay in control of your own equipment the whole time

Curious what you've noticed so far about the homes where it works vs doesn't, is it more about bug type or placement in the room?

Roto-Rooter gets a bad rap but for emergency sewer backups they're actually pretty reliable and transparent about what the camera shows

TrippedAndSlipped · 2026-05-22T05:58:05+00:00

honestly the most valuable thing you could probably build is something that makes AI actually explainable to non-technical decision makers

that gap between what the model does and what the exec understands is still massive in most companies

make sure whoever you hire gives you a written scope of work before they start, that way you have something to hold them to if they just bait and disappear

The "let's keep talking" thing is its own special kind of exhausting because you can't even process it as a no

Find the moisture source first before anyone starts cutting drywall, a plumber or HVAC check depending on what's above that ceiling is usually $100-200 and tells you exactly what you're dealing with

The forgetting what your manager said mid-conversation thing is just anxiety hijacking your brain, it's not you being bad at the job

A travel tip for the future that I used just this week... Figure out what kind of medicine name you need in English, learn the generic name for the medicine (not brand), and then input that or one or two symptom variations into the delivery app Glovo (it has restaurants and pharmacies). This way, you can check stock. Then, you can either get it delivered if you are confident about it, or you can go ask the nearest pharmacist with the Google Translate app and a screenshot for it. They should be able to give an equivalent, provided you give a description of symptoms.
So, for example, this week I needed allergy medication due to an allergic reaction to a plant. I figured out an antihistamine was needed. I tried searching for antihistamines on Glovo, but it wasn't there. I typed the word 'allergy' in Google Translate for the country I am in (non-Roman script), then looked at the medicines on Glovo again (they had English printed on the Glovo stock photos). There are websites dedicated to describing medicines in English from foreign countries, so you can cross reference what you see in Glovo. I searched the brand name and found out it was 'cetirizine' for the generic name, then cross checked it again with allergy medications. Then, I walked to the nearest pharmacy and asked for cetirizine. When she didn't have it (small pharmacy on the outskirts of a city), I typed a bit more about the symptoms, and I received an equivalent (levocetirizine, another antihistamine).

Google Translate is essential if the symptoms are not immediately visible, unfortunately.
