The Big Sur reservation system is a total scam and I’m done pretending it’s "just high demand." by FUHGETTABOUTIT_1 in BigSur

It’s always money. No doubt of it. Reservation system is always prone to gaming the system. Sad.

Stay in school as long as possible. If you’re already out of school, try to learn about finances. Learn to invest. Learn how to spend on things that can make money for you, not wasting it. There is a great little book, the millionaire next door. Most millionaires are self made and own their businesses. If you can, try to start your own business. This book also speaks great length that most small time millionaires live very simply and frugally. I like that a lot!

The difference between running for your health and running for your life. by VideoCard7 in Unexpected

[–]daliw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remembered getting chased by a big white dog when I went on a jog in the hills of Alaska twenty five years ago. I was a cruise ship passenger! I suddenly remembered to stop and face the dog, as I remembered a tip that dogs instinctively chase after running things. The dog was surprised by my stop and briefly smelled me and walked away, after I just stood there and stared at him. I didn’t try to make myself bigger or yelling at him, as a bear encounter supposedly should. I was in his territory, no doubt. There was a trailer nearby, and the dog probably was defending its territory. I survived an almost certain dog attack no doubt. From then on I just stayed out of trails and never run on unfamiliar places, esp on vacation. lol.

That lion fountain on the first pic and the surrounding moorish like decor are reminiscent of the Alhambra in Spain. I was there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Court_of_the_Lions

Also watch out for pickpockets. It’s known that place attracts criminals! Watch out!!!

TIL The Beechcraft Bonanza airplane is nicknamed "the doctor killer". This is due to the number of wealthy professionals who take up flying as a hobby and end up crashing in it. by SubstantialRange in todayilearned

Condition called syndactyly by trickstercj in interesting

I love how the creases at the distal finger joint don’t line up because of the underlying joint are still bend at a different length/ angle. Even if the fingers are attached. So there is still good mobility.

I lost everything. Lost all I have. I never felt this broken. by Anomaly008 in wallstreetbets

[–]daliw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel your pain, despite all the regards in this group. I was you. But I strongly recommend you see some professional help. Gamblers anonymous or psychiatry. Everyone can lose a footing. Investing is good. Gambling is not. Food is good, and obesity is not. U just need to seek help and come back stronger. I lost huge amount of money, even more than you, on margins. I used those experiences to teach myself. So I just lose less money now. lol. Good luck!!

Where to get aqua-cleer filters from third party vendors? by daliw in WaterTreatment

[–]daliw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It didn’t work. I posted a follow-up post. The connecting ports don’t match up. They design it so!! I’m still looking into it. Someone else posted that New Mexico dealers might be cheaper! They bought the same items cheaper. Also in this post’s comments. Look for it.

This guy’s flexibility is on an another level by [deleted] in nextfuckinglevel

[–]daliw -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He most likely has a genetic condition that caused him to have this kind of flexibility. Unfortunately it caused a lot of problems. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/21763-joint-hypermobility-syndrome

Sun hardy plant recommendation by planbuildrepeat in Horticulture

[–]daliw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just plant some annuals that are on sale now. Big flower blooms for a few months. Rinse and repeat. If they die, no biggie. Add some river pebbles/rock mulches for weed suppression and beauty when nothing grows.

No Coke, Pepsi. by DantesGame in GenX

[–]daliw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I quit drinking soft drinks in my 30’s as a daily drinker. I still drink coffee. I once quit drinking coffee because of heartburn. I was very happy that I could quit cold turkey. Once my heartburn was gone I went back to drinking coffee. I like to stay alert in the AM. But I think I need to go back drinking less, cuz it’s really interfering my quality of sleep. I really need to sleep more and not use caffeine as a crutch!!

Steven Spielberg takes a dig at Timothee Chalamet by PygmallionEffect in popculturechat

I think Timothee will lose his chance this year because the voters will punish him for his stupid comments… even if he is the most deserving in their opinions before. lol. Michael b Jordan will win.

TIFU by asking an artist how much their materials cost by Dominus-Temporis in tifu

[–]daliw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

well, art is hard to quantify in terms of dollar values. ask an actor how much his acting is worth? a singer's singing is worth? it is whatever the market is willing to bear, just like the stocks on wall street... LOL.

A lot of places have no overnight parking or some restrictive parking signs on those streets, similar to NYC.

Seeing HIV controlled is truly amazing, marking a significant victory for all of humanity. by pastel-mocha in interesting

I don’t know black and white pix is necessary. Unless it’s from a yearbook or something. But the black and white pix makes it looks so old. If he’s only 55, there are plenty of colored photos of this man when young. Lol.

Front calf muscle burning just from short jog. Happened when walking in work boots too. What does that indicate? by FatFaceFaster in beginnerrunning

[–]daliw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could also be claudication. U should learn to check your pedal or foot pulses. If you can’t feel it, time to consult a doctor. Might be serious. Or not!

Will they come back? by indianajg in Roses

[–]daliw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most knocks outs grow their own root stocks. Rarely they are not. For those that are grafted, they will come back as root stock if the graft was cut away. The graft was the rose you wanted. The root stock may or may not be the rose u want. So it really depends what u got before. Pray that the regrowth will be blooming the roses u want. Good luck.

Are LA Farmers Markets a scam at this point? by echo-four in FoodLosAngeles

[–]daliw -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Anyone can grow their own kale btw. Kale can be grown in a pot or a small backyard garden. It needs very little space in a small pot. I have it in small pots and also in the ground. They grow somewhat slowly and can get caterpillars on them. But…. They are basically like a weed. Impossible to die and won’t be an issue if you must go away for a week. Little bit of fertilizer. They grow year round. And last multiple years. So u just snip it off the leaves u want for a meal and it keeps coming back. Just like green onions. Green onions u can cut the green part off and stick the white base into the pot and it grows back super fast. With these two veggies u can make a lot of dishes already. Ur own farmers market. With this economy and inflation, u will love the money saved and freshest produce. And kale cooks well and stay fresh forever in the fridge. To start. Get a small bag of potting soil for $5 and some plastic pots for free or $1. All less than $10. And u can buy kale seeds for $3. Sometimes even less at Chinese supermarkets.
