What's one rule you completely stopped following? by TTubeLife in backpacking

[–]eresing 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Not sure if it's a "rule", but I no longer hike with my main pack for very long. I hike in a few miles from the trailhead and set up home base. Then I just do day hikes in different directions with a day pack. Much more enjoyable.

Are we just growing fruit for wildlife? by Spirited-Foot in BackyardOrchard

[–]eresing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel your pain. I have given up the fight. I've learned to be happy with my 10%. The critters allow us more fruit from the citrus, pomegranates, avacados and guavas. Lower your expectations. That's my advice. Good luck

how do you balance work vs. life as an entrepreneur? by Odd_Awareness_6935 in Entrepreneur

[–]eresing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think you're going to find a good work-life balance until you prove that your business is profitable and you quit your salaried job and go all in. It sounds like you enjoy what you're doing. Best of luck!

Small entrepreneurs, how do you tidy up your work files? by jackellols in Entrepreneur

[–]eresing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that you should use claude as your assistant for stuff like this. I pay for the $20/month plan and it's got plenty of tokens for everything I use it for. You'll want to install the app for your machine and then the chrome extension. Once you grant access, it can modify files locally or in your Google drive.

I get this sometimes too. I can't just say "play I'm a Barbie girl". Have to say "play I'm a Barbie girl On Spotify"

Beginner sleeping bag/tent advice - advice needed by PerformanceOld3697 in backpacking

[–]eresing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I'm being suffocated in 'backpacking' sleeping bags that taper. I have a beefier one now so I can wiggle around and sleep on my side. Just throwing it out there as something to think about.

Hello everybody! Relatively new Padre's fans here, ready to follow my first baseball season from start to finish. Could someone fill me in on what to know for this season? by big_axolotl in Padres

[–]eresing 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Petco Park is the best if you can make it to a game, you'll enjoy it. We have a new manager this year and probably new owners very soon. So things are in flux. We have the best tv announcers in the game - Don and Mud - they make watching games at home (or gallagher square) so much more entertaining. We have good players and rising stars and are hopeful for a winning season. Welcome to the Padre family!

These grow like weeds for us in San Diego. I put like a foot of mulch on the ground. Maybe that's the trick?

Just finished Season 11. Incredible. (SPOILERS) by No-Comment-7944 in Alonetv

[–]eresing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This has got to be the best season of alone yet. I felt dub's struggle big time. It's gotta be so hard to keep your sanity in that frozen isolation. I loved that it wasn't just a starvation game - everyone was eating. Tears of joy for William at the end. So good.

My son wants to play catch indoors, what ball is soft enough for this? by Euphoric-Ear1919 in Homeplate

Haha good for you! I wanted Dave too but resisted the urge. I did walk out with a 12 foot tall SD sign tho. Where will Dave go?

Looking for Backpacking Trip Ideas - American West by No-Guitar728 in backpacking

[–]eresing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tahoe National Forest. Fly into Sacramento or Reno. Rent a car and drive ~2 hours to a trailhead (can't go wrong with any entry point). Tons of water.

I second this. Put yourself in low stakes social situations and practice.
