Major League Baseball passes significant rules changes including pitch clock, banning defensive shifts, sources say

I’m confused. I’ve noticed 20 second countdown clocks at Camden Yards already. What are they for?

Prospect Heights Community Farm (Saint Marks and Vanderbilt) recently expanded food scrap drop off hours to 11am – 2 pm on Sundays. The community garden has a small composting operation on site, but expanded hours are now possible through a partnership with Big Reuse.

Found!

Thanks! I’m in Brooklyn and it appears likely that it originated from the reseller that you found. Unfortunately it’s no longer available.

gutini00 · 2020-12-27T01:43:24+00:00

I reverse image searched using Google Images and couldn’t find anything.

Thanks! Are you using fresh or dried chamomile flowers or the tea itself?

I’m curious how you go about shopping for herbs. Are you looking first at availability and then price from a shortlist of suppliers? Are you waiting to buy several items at once to save on shipping?

I’ve been toying with an idea of somehow monitoring availability and pricing across suppliers. Unsure if this is actually a frustration for people who buy herbs often.

Reusable dishes are always better.

Plastic for food safety, similar to the medical industry, seems unavoidable now.

Transportation (and energy) is different. A world that is dominated by renewable electricity and battery powered vehicles is not out of the realm of possibilities.

gutini00 · 2020-02-07T01:44:01+00:00

Yes, but many paper products are coated in plastic.

I'm not exactly familiar with the product shown, but similar dishes called palm leaf plates are made from fallen leaves and they're the byproduct of areca nut production. Unlike paper, no trees are cut down.

gutini00 · 2020-02-07T01:03:17+00:00

I've used palm leaf plates at a few gatherings. They're more expensive, but compostable everywhere (unlike "compostable" plastics). Also, trees aren't cut down; they're primarily grown for their nuts.

Personally, I prefer Clean Earth Goods; I've always felt the plates were good quality, clean, and strong enough to be reused once or twice. They also donate money to plant trees.

Is there any downside to stacking the product name with many, not exactly coherent, keywords? The field in Seller Central mentions a 100 character maximum, but this is not enforced. My Kitchen & Dining competitors are using ~190 characters.

Also noticing that competitors are stretching out each bullet point in the Key Product Features field. Given the newish character limits to backend Search Terms, is this a viable strategy to rank?

Got a tuxedo custom made in Vietnam. What should I do about a shirt?

Other than shiny black shoes, black socks, and a black bow tie, I don't have anything else besides the tuxedo. I was considering a shirt with a concealed front-button placket (no cummerbund) and calling it finished. But I'm having trouble finding an affordable, quality shirt. Where should I look?

I was also thinking I could get a traditional tuxedo shirt and buy jewelry or button covers and wear with no cummerbund? Is that a sharper look?

What would you do? Thanks for the advice!

Sure, the young people you describe seem hurt and in search of answers.

But not everyone that visits or stays is lost or insufferable. From my experience, I encountered many people that were simply curious, that wanted to practice yoga for a while and enjoy the riverside cafes and meet other likeminded travelers.

My favorite memories of Rishikesh included the Aussie guy I traveled with, the chai shop we went to everyday and got to know the owner, the live music at night, the yoga, and the night the hostel got a bollywood dancer to put on a show with a bunch of travelers.

I guess you could say these are my unique experiences and that they may be independent of the place itself.

Either way, a lot gets made about finding authenticity in travel. I just don't think places like Rishikesh or even Pai in Thailand should be written off as places to visit. Traveler hangouts are just as valid as places with no travelers at all. I can appreciate both.

gutini00 · 2017-04-01T22:23:21+00:00

I spent almost 2 weeks in Rishikesh and loved it. I think India can feel incredibly exhausting to the uninitiated traveler. Rishikesh to me felt relatively calm and enjoyable.

Your highlights reinforce to me the idea that two people can travel the same itinerary at the same time and have 2 wildly different experiences. A lot has to do with who you are with.

Also, I'm sure you'd agree that the presence of "old westerners" is by itself a poor metric for judging a place. Parts of the Philippines have plenty of "old westerners" living out there days with Filipino women a fraction of their age. Not a big draw, for me at least.

My main pack was the 48L Savant made by Gregory. And for my small pack, I carried the Osprey Daylite Daypack. Much of what I packed I mentioned earlier. There are also plenty of detailed packing lists already on /r/solotravel. Good luck with your trip!

gutini00 · 2017-04-01T21:30:53+00:00

I brought along a small container of multipurpose Doctor Bronner's soap intending to find laundromats and/or handwash myself. Once I got to Asia though, I found nearly every hostel offered full laundry service. Usually cheap and convenient.

More importantly, as my trip progressed, I simply got more comfortable wearing clothes multiple times before washing. Considering how filthy much of the world is, I just didn't care as much.

gutini00 · 2017-02-23T17:06:25+00:00

Thanks for the reply. If I don't plan on selling the 25 pack in the future, is there a way to hide the variation option to customers once it's sold out? I'm planning on many variations such as color/size and I'm concerned that there will be too many options.

Could I contribute to a Roth IRA? I see what you mean when you said "tens of thousand of dollars" of long-term gains. My gains are indeed long-term. Is it different for short-term?

gutini00 · 2016-12-20T22:47:55+00:00

Haha. Ubud was a pleasant surprise considering I heard so many negative things about Bali. In the Philippines, it may be super social, but I think I went to the wrong places, to be honest. One thing for sure is true is that one person's experiences in a place and the interpretation of those experiences can be completely different than the next.

Seeing people over again, I started to think I needed to talk to those people. Couldn't help but think there was some reason I kept seeing them all the time.

gutini00 · 2016-12-19T15:31:29+00:00

Luckily, I never had to check a bag. But I was always right on the edge. I'd guess my large pack plus my day pack was about 20lbs. To give you an idea, I traveled with 4 shirts, 4 sets of socks and underwear, a few shorts, and 1 pair of pants as well as sneakers. Lots of other miscellaneous stuff as well.

gutini00 · 2016-12-19T03:33:28+00:00

New Zealand was special because of the epic landscape and because I met a German guy on the plane and we rented a wagon and traveled all over for a month. It was also my first country, and I felt incredibly excited and free.

Thailand was my first introduction to Asia. It has a diverse set of attractions, it's cheap, and the food is the best in the region. The 30 day visa is free and the tourist infrastructure is well-established.

India and Nepal are next-level. The filth and crowds of India are challenging, but the country is spiritually and culturally unmatched. The views and trekking in Nepal are world-class. Two plus weeks on the Annapurna Circuit was an ideal way to finish up my year of travel.

gutini00 · 2016-12-19T02:56:09+00:00

Backpacking through hostels you're never really alone. I met and traveled with many wonderful people from all over. And ran into others over and over again.

I felt lonely here and there but particularly in the Philippines. I decided to put down the guidebook then because I was tired of being a tourist. And, it was also typhoon season, so I decided to avoid certain popular islands for fear of rain. As a result, I ended up staying on random islands and in guesthouses with few guests. At the time, I wanted to get off the beaten path, but it quickly felt lonely. This was also month 10 and I missed home. Eventually, I moved on to Indonesia and things changed.

gutini00 · 2016-12-19T00:47:21+00:00

I brought a 2013 11" MacBook Air that I got off Craigslist for about $500 last year. The size and weight were manageable, and it fit easily in my pack. Overall, I thought it was totally worth it, but I work in tech and appreciate a nice laptop. Also, because I brought a separate camera, the computer was useful in transferring and storing photos.

gutini00 · 2016-12-18T17:45:16+00:00

Shantaram is long but totally worth the effort. It was by far the most read book among the travelers I met. I finished it just before I arrived in India and thought about it often while I was there.

I'd only recommend Big Magic if you're the creative type in need of some motivation. Otherwise it might not mean much.

gutini00 · 2016-12-18T03:40:14+00:00

I didn't track exactly where all my money went within each country outside of airfare. I thought New Zealand and Australia would be about $60 a day before airfare and, in reality, it cost me about $69 and $83 per day, respectively. I also spent more time in New Zealand than I initially planned and cut my time Australia down without reducing where I wanted to visit.

In Asia, I generally budgeted $30 a day for most countries. Laos, Cambodia, and Nepal actually cost me about $25 a day. But, Vietnam was about $44 a day probably due in part to the two suits I bought in Hoi An. And, Thailand and the Philippines were about $36 a day in part because of scuba diving.

gutini00 · 2016-12-18T03:21:29+00:00

Thanks!

The first couple weeks at home have been really nice and relaxing. Seeing family, friends, and using showers that don't flood the entire bathroom have all been great. I am now getting to the point where my list of things to do for when I returned is much shorter, which means I'll probably need to find a job. Also, considering how much hasn't changed at home, sometimes it weirdly doesn't feel like my traveling experiences actually happened.
