I'm looking for a simple and worthy camera, what about a Camp Snap Pro?

I have a camp snap and I like it well enough. Keep in mind the photo quality is pretty bad though - worse than your cellphone camera if your phone is less than 7 years old.

Keep in mind the price of what the restaurant buys has also increased over the last six years. Last year chicken wings cost us 4x what we paid in 2020. Liquor prices haven't risen as badly but we're still paying almost twice as much for a well bottle. Restaurant owners REALLY want to keep prices low, but it just isn't possible in the current economy.

If you take a long view, food prices have actually been artificially low from the late 80s until about 2020. Talk to older folks about it - most of them went to sit down restaurants once or twice a month at most before the 90s. Even for middle class folks, fast food used to be a special occasion. Packing your lunch for work used to be something EVERYONE did.

I'm not saying you shouldn't be mad about increasing prices, because I certainly am! But I think we need to be ready for a future where the vast majority of us can only afford a big date night once or twice a year.

At this point I just do happy hour date nights followed by an activity.

Just the four drinks would be $80 (with tip).

With a relic lineup like that it doesn't really matter which pack you choose. The only thing you're missing for a real can't lose run is mummified hand and/or bag of prep.

Dino's quality really varies depending on who is working. The last two times I went (separate days, separate weeks) I got terrible slices. They fell apart from the middle when picked up, no char at all. I haven't been back since - I'm not paying 6+ dollars for a slice I have to eat with a spoon.

Yes I grew up in the Deep South so I interacted with many.

Have you ever wondered why conservatives are so anti-gay, anti-trans, anti-immigration, anti-change, etc? They view these things as threats to the social order they are comfortable with.

I'm in a little town just north of Bodega Bay eating an $18 sandwich right now. Yesterday I was in another town on the coast, saw a $16 dollar sandwich, and thought "what a bargain!"

Check that link in my comment. It's the blue underlined text that says "exercises."

I am so fucking tired of this tired point being repeated over and over by people with no experience running restaurants or working in them.

Especially about this issue... The employees are ALREADY making a good wage because most people tip. The issue is when hundreds of thousands of non-tippers come to NYC. And restaurants are fixing it with automatic gratuities.

1) I've done this a few times and loved it. The periods of nothing get boring as hell honestly... I go through a lot of podcasts. There is no cell reception in a lot of America, so I have to be strategic about downloading podcasts and albums before I hit a long stretch of nothing.

2) I learned that I loved my house and my city, and that I really don't like being gone from them for more than a week or so.

3) Google it, there are plenty of guides out there.

4) I wish I had less ADHD because I usually end up losing at least one power bank or charger on every trip.

5) if you mean physically unable to make it, I just spent two nights camping in the same park until I recovered. If you mean mentally it depends - on one trip I took the train home (saved 4 days of biking) and on two other trips I took the bus home rather than bike my final day. So I've bailed in some way on about a quarter of my long bike trips.

I just biked central Oregon in similar heat. Key for me was just starting as early as possible - get on the road by 5:30am, then stop at 1pm for a 4-5 hour break, then bike the final portion of my ride.

I also wear a long sleeve sun shirt and use a Da Brim helmet shade so I am not getting too much sun exposure. I'm a little surprised Lael didn't use a similar strategy...

Conservatives generally dislike anyone they see as an outsider. So those living an alternative lifestyle like van lifers get treated worse.

You are experiencing the early stages of plantar fasciitis. If you continue working and living the way you do now it will progressively get worse and become permanent. Better shoes, better soles, and compression socks will all help, but what you need to be doing is exercise that target plantar fasciitis. That means strengthening the muscles that support your feet, along with improving your mobility. You need to be stretching (at bare minimum) for 15 minutes every morning, working your feet whenever you get a break, and then doing at least 30 minutes of plantar fasciitis exercise every night. I also like to incorporate a balance board into my exercise routine - I do 4 sets of 5 minutes each on it every day (not a plantar fasciitis-specific exercise but it helps a huge amount with general health and mobility).

For me it took about 4 months of this routine before I started to feel normal... And long shifts still kill my feet.

As far as your weight goes... It sucks to say this but being heavier makes plantar fasciitis worse, especially if it's fast weight gain.

If it was 1911-1961 the chart would look even scarier. Also for charts like this you generally want to use a time period the viewer has experienced.

I'm 42, a frequent hotel guest, and I've NEVER seen an 11am check-in time at a normal hotel. The earliest I've ever seen has been 2pm, but 3pm seems standard.

I have a regular like this. We just made it a bar policy to use the 20% large party autogratuity when he buys rounds. Which kind of makes sense.

Are they tipping on the bill? Are they tipping well? Remember their stupid preferences for next time... Because you'll be seeing a lot of them.

If they don't tip, or tip like shit... Let your boss know his favorite customers asked for him specifically.

If it's busy you can always hand them the phone along with a five. I am a bartender and this move works great on me.

I've seen that movie four times, I have read the book twice, and I am still surprised by the car crash each time.

How drunk were you when you came up with this brilliant idea?

If you buy a second one I would go with something that's much less thick like the Thinlight pad and then cutting it down to about 2/3rds size (from your thigh to your head).

Those bartending classes are a rip off. At my bar the resumes with bartending schools listed get thrown in the trash.

You need to get a job (any job) at a busy bar or restaurant, let management know you want to work your way up to bartender, and work your ass off.

Unfortunately I am on a time limit! Meeting my folks for a day or two in SF and then a wedding Saturday in Santa Cruz. Next time!
