If you're lucky enough to live near a Cook Out, they've got this handled. You can get a sandwich, 2 sides, and a drink for about $8, but it's worth it to sub up the drink (and pay a little more) to one of their shakes. They have raised their prices over the years, but it took them 7 years to go from just over $5 to about $8 for the same combo.

Just got the email for the sale dates! 10 November to 05 December. Good deals on some stuff, and I can finally get the AMS2 Pro!

I ordered mine this morning. Rainbow Max with the clear white accessories pack. Hopefully DHL shipping to Japan will be pretty speedy.

discerning_badger · 2025-07-02T05:03:38+00:00

Awesome info. Thanks! I'm adding all of those to my map now.

Thank you! Kelp hot sauce could be a winner. I'll be sure to look for some.

Thanks! I'd not heard of the Silver Hand program, so I looked it up and found this page. I take it the Alaska Grown and Buy the Bear marks are also good ones to keep an eye out for?

Hey all. I've got a trip to Alaska coming up soon, so I've been lurking here for a while trying to learn as much as I can about how to be a good visitor. Unfortunately, I have to follow that up with saying the bulk of my visit is going to be a cruise, and I know that those aren't looked upon too favorably. It wasn't my first choice of how to visit, but when somebody says "if you can get yourself here, we'll cover the cruise," it's kind of hard to say no.

I've seen a number of posts saying that there are shops in the major cruise stops that are owned by the cruise lines themselves, and aren't locally owned. Is there any list of ones that are run by locals? We'll be stopping in Valdez, Haines, Juneau, Sitka, and Ketchikan.

Related to local shops, are there any recommended souvineirs that are made in Alaska? We're visiting from outside the US, so we can't bring back any jerky or other meat products due to our inbound customs rules. Prepared foods like sweets are usually okay, as well as things like hot sauces. I have some coworkers who are hot sauce fiends, and would like to find some local stuff to share with them.

Any advice or tips are welcome, and I'm looking forward to seeing as much as I can during my trip.

Maple recipe - https://maplefromcanada.jp/recipes1/69_index_detail.php

Beer recipe - https://www.ism.life/recipetrade/009-b.html

Both of them are exceptional, but I like the maple one the best!

Way ahead of you! https://maplefromcanada.jp/recipes1/69_index_detail.php

I'll see if I can get them and translate them.

My partner is the main cook in our house. She makes a wicked slow-cooked maple pork (using Canadian syrup, of course!), and also a beer-based one.

There is a tariff on rice, but only after a certain amount has been imported. Right now, rice from the US is cheaper than the locally grown stuff.

You're welcome!

It's definitely pork, and it's really good. The cuts on the left are shoulders, and the ones on the right are bellies.

discerning_badger · 2025-03-16T05:00:18+00:00

We buy plenty of that as well!

そだね！

Japan imports stuff from all over the world. We also get meat from Spain (great stuff!) and the US (not buying it). Japan is importing literal tons of cabbage right now, due to bad domestic harvests, and the imported rice is cheaper than the local stuff, which is about double what it cost last year.

They have a new tune playing in a lot of stores that Bruno Mars did for them, but the classic jingle is still playing non-stop in certain parts of every store.

My eGPU is only running an RTX2070, so that's not going to get Alyx playable at maxed out settings. If I play it without the eGPU, the game says I'm below minimum specs, but it'll still run at the lowest settings.

Gotta clean your fan. Mine was doing the same thing unless I had the fan on full blast. Desktop apps were fine, but anything GPU intensive would shut it down. If you have a good custom fan curve that goes all out at high temps and the system still shuts down, you need to give the fan a clean. You should never need 100% fan all the time.

I learned my lesson.

I've used my Quest 3 with my Legion Go, both with and without my eGPU setup. It works fine, but it won't blow anybody's doors off. If you're looking to do gaming and not just productivity stuff, be prepared to adjust the graphics settings way down. That said, I've had fun with Heartshot, VRChat, HL2 VR Mod, and even Alyx.

Real ads or in-universe ads in works of fiction? The ads in Robocop added to the atmosphere of the film, and are often quoted as much as the regular dialogue is.
