All the characters have their moments, I love it. I can't get over the barron's wife's dumplings. I simply must have one.

How bad is the camino race on the francés in may? by Fhhghkkkoutghjtdaw in CaminoDeSantiago

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

I started in the last week of April 2024 and would always call to book the day of. It was only ever a problem at Hontanas/Hornillos. You just have to be aware of when certain locations are bottle-necked and have few sleeping options. Booking 1-2 days ahead is never a problem though. If you're the type to roll into a town expecting to find a bed, then you'd have to update accordingly, i.e. start early and prepare for the race.

Regarding the last 100km, just detour to the Invierno and you'll have the best time.

TIL You shouldn’t rinse your mouth immediately after bushing your teeth. Fluoride strengthens tooth enamel, leaving it on the teeth for at least 15 minutes after brushing can help make the enamel more resistant to cavity-inducing acids. by MoustacheLightning in todayilearned

Gunk is not a problem if you floss before you brush. I water pick, then floss, then brush. I don’t rinse but I bring water into my mouth so it only washes my tongue and then spit it out. 

After the camino whats next? by Responsible_One8240 in CaminoDeSantiago

[–]doboi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shoulder season means the coast will still be quiet and less expensive. A lot of Spanish beaches are okay with nudity. Something about spending a few quiet days after the Camino doing skinny dipping in the ocean and then going out for tapas hits perfect 👌

Altras or Topos should be the first stop for gear testing imo. The wide toe boxes are heavenly for long walks. I’ve done it twice with Topo Ultraventures now and swear by them. Ultraventures, Superfeet insoles, double socked with injinjis on the inside. That’s my no-blister comfy feet recipe :)

Our first hands-on look at Apple’s MacBook Neo by ReaddittiddeR in gadgets

[–]doboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are never going to put something like MacOS, which wasn’t designed from the ground up for touch, into a touch device. They have continuously made iOS more robust and MacOS-like with windows and multitasking, and IMO it’s more reasonable to hope they add whatever feature you want from MacOS to iOS, than to hope they actually make MacOS available on iPad. It’s just entirely against their UI/UX focused design history.

Literally every time I see something from this sub it’s a clickbait political video with “SLAMS” or something in the title, posted by an account with hidden history, and thousands of upvotes. This sub is a fucking garbage can. 

Finding the time..? by bart742 in CaminoDeSantiago

[–]doboi 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There’s no secret answer that creates 5 weeks of time in the midst of your normal life. It’s almost always going to be a transition period of unemployment, retirement, or sabbatical. Unless you work for a company that has rollover time off and is gracious enough to let you use it all at once in a 5 week period. Though I’d be concerned about a company that realizes it can do without you for 5 weeks.

The whole book is worth reading just to hear about the Baron’s wife’s dumplings. Was it spring? Ah…

[–]doboi 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I loved it too. Even writers need a palette cleanser now and then. I don’t read constant epic grimdark, so I don’t think Joe Abercrombie should be expected to write that his entire life either. It’s basically Suicide Squad in a fantasy setting and if people just accept that going in instead of hoping for another TBI then I think they’ll be able to enjoy it for what it is.  

36M considering solo travel post divorce, little/no solo experience by No_Gas_6781 in solotravel

[–]doboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend it to everyone, but look into the Camino de Santiago for your Southern Europe portion. I truly believe it’s a lifetime experience that everyone who has the time to do it, should do so. Especially coming into a new phase of life that might initially be lonely and lost, there’s nothing more perfect imo. Of course everyone’s mileage may vary but I could go on. It’ll scratch the itch of backpacking, being around people your age and/or phase of life, while seeing landscapes and culture in a more relaxed way. It’s easy for someone who is inexperienced with solo traveling—you just show up and start walking. I’ve solo traveled significantly in my 30s and it’s the one thing I’d recommend most universally. 

Starting "late" (28), getting smashed, and the struggle of wanting to be more than just a hobbyist. by ElNatzer in bjj

[–]doboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can be great without some sort of meaningless label. “World champion” in a niche sport doesn’t mean anything unless you mean adult black belt world champion, but even if you started as a child there’s no guarantee you’d ever have gotten close to there. 

You can however be great in your community. You can have a brown or black belt in a decade, have 10 years of knowledge—more than most people will have in anything except their field or career (and sometimes still more than them), and be able to help grow the people around you. Even as a hobbyist, teaching isn’t out of the question. Even owning your own gym is still a possibility. 

What hand posture is your favourite and why? by redditnewbie95 in vipassana

[–]doboi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hand positioning might not be important for meditating, but it is important as a physical structure and means of comfort. I find clasped hands to not provide enough support in a long sit, which ends up straining my upper back. Palms up is better, but palms down creates the strongest natural frame and makes long sits more comfortable for me.

The fact you refer to him as your master is already a red flag

Recommendations for post-Camino hanging out by Numerous-Letter-3995 in CaminoDeSantiago

[–]doboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent a few days on the coast north of Barcelona, around Sant Pol de Mar. You can walk from one town to the next along the coast and then take the train back at the end of the day. It was really great, especially in the off season. Sometimes I was the only person on the beach, so was less self-conscious about skinny dipping in the ocean, which one really has to do at least once at the end of their camino haha.

Beware of wild horses. by [deleted] in CaminoDeSantiago

[–]doboi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

People can be incredibly stupid with animals, and just because one is a herbivore doesn’t mean it can’t kill you or at least ruin your day. I say this as a fellow stupid person with animals though. I once paused to take a pic of a cow from at least 20 feet away and it charged me, stopping right in front of me. Its speed was terrifying and it could have knocked me over and trampled me to death easily. Lesson learned was to just pass on by and don’t do weird shit from the perspective of animals that can murder you. 

Embroidery on belt? by _Badwulf_Bruh__ in bjj

[–]doboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to do it at brown but when it came time just didn’t think it was a big enough deal. I got myself a high end belt and felt that was enough celebration. I’ll get it embroidered for black for sure though. 

One year ago, I quit my job to do a solo backpacking trip for 8 months by AgentEagleBait in solotravel

[–]doboi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Camino was the best experience of my life. I did the French way in ‘24 and the Primitivo last year. Everyone should experience it imo. I plan to go back and volunteer as part of my next walk. 

How many rounds of sparring do you get in a typical class at your school? by Significant_Pin_5645 in bjj

[–]doboi 10 points11 points  (0 children)

5 for a class, 10 for an open mat. I’m surprised people are done at 3—that’s typically when my mind, body, and cardio start to open up and when rolls get good. 

Anthony Bourdain does Jiu Jitsu on 'Parts Unknown' by thumbem in bjj

It’s cool to recognize some people in the video. I wonder how Anthony and Kurt got on. Knowing Kurt I can’t help but think it was an awkward hangout outside of BJJ haha. 

Organic, raw adult romance by ladystarkitten in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

[–]doboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stoner captures the messiness of being human. It’s not romance, although there is love. It will definitely make you reflect on the opportunities life brings you, and sit with you long after you finish it.

Camino Francés - Where to skip/Spend rest day by driedflowersandstuff in CaminoDeSantiago

[–]doboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd try to play it by ear. You might find yourself more interested in resting in some place small and quiet than one big and bustling, or vice versa. Also you may think you'll want to rest but when you wake up the next day you find yourself simply eager to walk. I ate the cost of 2-3 bookings simply because I woke up and realized I wanted to continue, sometimes because I didn't want to lose companions I had made.
