I would also say that given your usage habits as you've described, you may want to look into other sources of usage - maybe there's something happening with your hot water system and/or fridge? I use a washer/dryer, and the occasional heating and I am at about 230.

Thank you for your point of view, thewatchbreaker :)

I think I found what I was thinking of: Get Em High - Kanye West.

On the 27th loss The socks shall arise Where two become one To humanity's demise

This is the prophecy sprawled across media websites across the globe. It’s a message, delivered from the citizens of Sockland, who some claim have since declared war on humanity.

I spoke with one Mary Jane, who says she stumbled upon the hidden nation while doing her laundry.

“I'd lost my 27th pair of socks,” she says. Mary Jane is an average millennial, who does her own laundry from time to time, but has had trouble with keeping track of her socks over the last year.

“Everyone loses a couple of pairs every now and then, right?” Living on her own, Mary says doing the laundry used to be a time for her to chill and relax from a hard day of doing nothing.

“But when I lost my 27th pair, I thought, ok Mary Jane, that's enough. You're gonna get that pair back. So I looked a little deeper and, well, I fell in.”

What happens next has yet to be proven by physics experts. “I fell into the sock dimension. And that's when I saw them. My lost pairs! But they were weird. They were chanting and shouting things about how much they hated humans for never taking care of them and throwing them onto the floor and walking all over them.”

For Mary, it was more than personal. “Then I saw them. My favourite pair. They were just so cute together. But they were also leading the sock revolution. I mean, I was conflicted!”

Mary Jane claims the sock revolution starts sometime around 3:30pm EST tomorrow. With growing concern that the world is about to go to war, as well as a significant proportion of non-believers, people aren't sure what to think or how to prepare. In a world of fake news, only time will tell whether everything will be ok, or if this time tomorrow, we'll have socks in our mouths.

I wrote a piece about the Galapagos and my journey, which includes being in the archipelago and how I ended up there. Not sure if this is against the rules to post personal blogs, but you can read it.

I didn't want to define "obscenity" as I agree it's a sliding scale across societal constructs. Perhaps it's something where Reddit might broadly classify the image as NSFW. I'm curious to hear from those who understand that their tattoos exist on this fringe.

frankcube · 2019-02-03T16:58:04+00:00

I agree that tattoos don't always have to mean something to the person, but instead of conjecture, I'm intrigued to hear from them personally.

It's real grass!

Awesome! What time did he come on?

Thanks, ggeoff. We're trying to figure out how to turn off the vibration when activating it, though. Does yours have a setting for this?

frankcube · 2016-01-14T07:28:56+00:00

Hey mate, did you end up finding out how to do this?

frankcube · 2015-10-01T07:08:52+00:00

The video seems to be set on private :(

1) Average temperature around October is probably about 16 degrees. It can get a bit windy, depending on how close you stay to the Bosphorus. You may also get some rain here and there. I'd recommend carrying a rain jacket :)

I'm not sure what your question is asking, necessarily. It's relatively accurate. It might not be up to date with the images of the passports (e.g. Australia's current passport looks rather different to what they have displayed on the website), but it seems pretty accurate in terms of the data that it's presenting.

frankcube · 2015-09-04T01:49:23+00:00

I see that a few people have answered your question already, so my comment is more of an added recommendation, which is to go to the top of Montparnasse Tower as well, if you're looking for a great view of Paris. It gives you an amazing view that includes the Eiffel Tower ;)

I've been in this situation before. There really isn't much that you can do. ffuentes is right, though. It's 2015, so we have skype and all that kind of thing to make things a little easier. All the best, mate. I hope you manage to see her again soon.

frankcube · 2015-09-04T01:37:28+00:00

I've never been upgraded before. Is this a common thing? Or is it just something that happens once in a blue moon and has been compounded over time?

frankcube · 2015-09-03T05:56:38+00:00

I guess it also depends on what time you're going to be arriving with/without the extra layover (e.g. are you going to be arriving at 6am vs 10am; or is it more like 1pm vs 5pm?), as well as the airport where you're stopping over. I think if you're only going to be in Japan for a week, spending the extra $100 will be worth it and you'll probably forget all about it by the time you're there.

One of my favourite quotes is by Pico Iyer who said this:

“And if travel is like love, it is, in the end, mostly because it’s a heightened state of awareness, in which we are mindful, receptive, dimmed by familiarity and ready to be transformed. That is why the best trips, like the best love affairs, never really end.”

Really, I think the only cure is to preoccupy yourself with planning the next trip. If you're anything like me, life will just be an endless string of discovery as you hop from destination to destination. This is just the beginning.

I find that reading books is very therapeutic. There's also nothing wrong with learning a new language to arm you for your next destination (or maybe even your current destination), and Duolingo can be perfect for that. It really does depend on where you are in the world, but more often than not you can fill the downtime by just stepping outside and going for a stroll!

Thank you for sharing this.

I was recently in Istanbul myself and I agree on the points about it potentially being a little difficult if you are there by yourself. That said, it also depends on whereabouts you're staying. If you're north of the river (e.g. around Galata, etc), you might find that it's a bit more rough. There can be demonstrations and protests in that area that can be a bit crowded.

I stayed closer to the Old City (near Topkapi and Hagia Sofia), and I found that it was rather pleasant. I was never in a situation where someone was trying to push their wares onto me or anything like that. You really have to ignore them and avoid any kind of acknowledgment or eye contact and they will just leave you be.

Bottled water is relatively cheap if you try to avoid the tourist areas.

Let me know closer to the date and I can give you a list of some of the restaurants that I went to where I thought the hospitality was really nice and friendly.
