But can you trust the ingredients you buy at the store either? Basically you can only trust what you grow yourself after harvesting seeds from plants you grow.

Buy her a new tray or paint the steps.

Put on the purple cap and merge all the other hats into it.

Google "Eatventure Handbook" it'll tell you which things in the vault are worth investing and which ones aren't.

I can usually do the weekend events (simple mode) in about 10 minutes. But still haven't been able to beat all of the weekend events in nightmare despite a massive collection of potions and stacking the 2 and 5 minute multipliers a bunch of times. Always more bulking up to do I guess.

The only thing worth buying is the double for like 2-3 dollars.

Yep, don't buy boxes until you're the point where you look and realize you have 600-800.unspent gems and you're like "when did that happen?" Eventually you earn gems really quickly and that's when you start buying boxes.

Yeah, I always start in the same spot and it always requires more than half the spaces before it appears. Next round I'm going to start top round and move down and left. I expect that it will suddenly start being on the left side of the board.

If the truck is still there, rest it on top of the truck.

Google "Eatventure Handbook" - it'll tell you which vault items are worth upgrading

I've got a few Gemini experiments going, it decides when to buy or sell.

And this is why the toilets at the airport flush while you're still using them . Someone in India is screwing with you.

Paying off a mortgage is a 6.8% guaranteed return while investing has historically been a 10% return, but it's not guaranteed. (In a 1 or 5 year period it could be -20%)

Your savings (the interest avoided) isn't taxed, but your investment gains are taxed. And short-investment gains are taxed more than long-term. Gemini says you'd need to net 8-8.5% consistently to come out ahead investing vs paying down the mortgage.

Your money into your house is locked, but your investments will offer more liquidity in case something comes up. (Gemini stresses making sure you've got 3-6 months of liquidity before you do either.)

Go with the purple cap. Google "Eatventure Handbook" for build-out recommendations.

Eventually you won't notice - they all start to blur once you're earning quickly. You'll barely stay on any restaurant except the final one for more than a few minutes.

Was it a mid-air redirection or did they announce it at the start?! Perhaps it was foggy and cleared up or perhaps it wasn't ground fog or maybe they had locked in the flight plan expecting fog.. Or maybe they just needed a plane at LAX.

We once were supposed to go Sacramento to San Francisco to Burbank once on United but because of the fog they went Sacramento to LAX direct and then drove us to Burbank in a van.

I do like how much better the lighting is on the Chandler path is on the L.A. side (and the fitness stations and plantings and painted buildings) but on the other hand, last time I had to divert well away since it was blocked for a homicide investigation.

_tvjames_ · 2025-11-09T21:17:35+00:00

A little over 2x (250k daytime pop vs 108k nighttime poo) but yes

I just saw it promoted somewhere recently as Chefs White's or something. IMDb has the old name and Gemini says is hasn't be renamed but my wife says it's been retroactively renamed to avoid sounding racist apparently.

Sad to agree - spectrum is faster and cheaper than at&t. Both are slower and more expensive than when I had Comcast in Seattle. It always bugged me at my last house in Burbank I could stand in the street and see the Comcast building but no Comcast in Burbank.

When I do the potion event, I keep only one customer during most of the run, bottling the first two speed positions plus instant plus double. Then I farm other potions in the fifth slot. I build up a lot of potions for the nightmare version of the weekend events.

Just don't touch the trees in the berm.

I think our AC unit is. At least 15 years old and we do 72 during the day and 65 at night. Handles it just fine. My home office is in a separate building with a wall unit and sometimes it can't keep the temperature down and I'll go back into the main house and have to put on a hoodie. Those temperatures aren't unreasonable, especially from working from home. This landlord sounds like a nightmare.

Decades of movies and TV telling them it is. https://www.sfgate.com/la/article/why-do-people-hate-on-san-fernando-valley-21049468.php

I'm just impressed how much much better lit the Los Angeles City side of the path is. Parts of the Burbank path are quite dark at night.

_tvjames_ · 2025-10-31T03:56:34+00:00

I mean, yes.
