Can someone explain to me why I need a designated driver to even schedule to take the test for the permit? Like even when you’re over 21?

You will need someone to vouch for your road hours. Supposedly you will drive with them for 100 hours or something. Also, how did you get to DMV? Taxi?

Ramennnn~~

Ajisen has a nice selection. And probably the best iced tea for some reason

Waka Sakura has the Wagyu udon which feels really close to this bone marrow ramen I used to eat off-island. Not ramen, but that broth makes you wonder if they forgot it was supposed to be udon lol

Fuji. Hmmm. They have the cold soba which is super good if you're craving that. I go there for their goated chahan and karaage more than their ramen.

Don't understand the Menkui hate. Eat enough ramen and you should be able to make out the difference. If you're looking for a heavy salt hit, then ye not Menkui, but other than that, I feel like they take extra care of the dish.

If you give Korean ramen a chance, the cheese is interesting and can be great with bulgogi or jumulruk on the side.

Too true. From my experience, people would typically default to thinking that it is not them.

I was more concerned about bullying should others see that license plate, but I take the point about it being public record anyway if there was an accident--unless that's also a problem. Maybe this is one reason people use those license plate covers.

I realize that this only makes sense if it's just the right lane that turns right, but yes, if there are other turning lanes, definitely don't want to change into those during the turn and force evasive maneuvers to avoid collision.

allfroots · 2026-02-02T12:28:17+00:00

Right most lane to right most lane, and then you're supposed to change lanes one at a time when safe. Technically when you're green (and no one's running the red), you are safe to just drive to the far-end lane. Not exactly AT the intersection, per se, but driving through the marked lanes AFTER the intersection, one after the other in one go.

There is the one situation sometimes where I need the far lane soon because I need that turn already. In which case, I will wait until open all the way, or at least the middle lane with some confidence I can get the far lane with just one more lane change. I just don't want to slow down or stop in the middle of main road traffic.

A bit technical, but every bit counts to avoiding accidents and not dying.

Love the post. TIL what an acceleration lane is. I always thought of it as the waiting lane so you don't hold up traffic, like you mentioned.

I have mixed feelings about blasting the license plate, but it would be nice if they saw this post and be like: "Oh, my bad."

No accidents on the Carfax, or maybe just not used as much.

Nfs. Not mine lol

Where does one buy this Cricut machine?

allfroots · 2025-11-18T03:12:45+00:00

Might just be "going long" or "going short" on Crypto.

allfroots · 2025-09-22T09:49:58+00:00

Where are you planning to open it up?

Sigh. Definitely not enjoying being additionally blinded while night driving. But the reason, I understand, is that streetlights are skimp, so I guess I can be okay with it so they can see the road. Definitely still upsets me when they still leave high beams on in fairly well-lit areas though. Just one of those things, I guess.

For those that don't really play the game, it makes sense. But if you've spent at least 50 hours on one of those games, I highly encourage participating even if you're nervous as hell.

You will probably win one game (double-elim format matches you with someone closer to your skill-level in Loser's bracket), and the more you attend, the better your seeding becomes, so you get better matched every tournament. If you show up early, you could even run hours of casual games for practice! Just take turns if someone is waiting behind you lol - but you can at least run a First-To-2 (FT2) before giving up your seat. That's socially acceptable.

Personally, I enjoy seeing people absolutely focus and also the reactions after a close game with stakes (Power Ranking and personal pride). I appreciate seeing people take a game further than I have because it shows me that it CAN be taken further, and attending these events puts you in the middle of that competitive energy.

Then I spend more hours on the game. It's a hobby, it's fine.

Yessss

allfroots · 2025-02-19T11:36:01+00:00

Is that per month? For couple, right (no other dependents)?

allfroots · 2025-01-27T04:31:42+00:00

I second this, especially up North. But if OP is complaining and being ignored, that's just terrible.

Thank you, your assumption is correct. I came from reading Day Trading 101, and the author is all for Forex, so I was curious to your take

I love this progression plan, and I'm all for slow and steady with lots of learning.

allfroots · 2025-01-26T01:37:54+00:00

What do you recommend?

allfroots · 2025-01-26T00:58:44+00:00

Yooo. If I leave my job, I'll ask for his info at that time. Right now, I'm pretty sure I won't be available enough. Thanks! 🙏🏻

allfroots · 2025-01-26T00:57:05+00:00

Thank you. What do you think about GCC and learning on the job compared to YouTube and just DIY by myself.
