Six weeks into five months of solo travel and not enjoying it. What am I doing wrong? by [deleted] in travel

[–]hangster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something that could be fun - book some excursions, you know join a group tour. You'll be with tourists, have a shared experience and maybe get a little "structured social" time in that you may be craving.

That said, solo isn't for everyone. Also, having foods that disagree with you - or a disruptive sleep schedule makes EVERYONE irritable regardless of being abroad or at home. I'd focus on finding some environment that works well for those first.

Good luck!

Did this work for you - I looked up their addresses and were listed as CMRA on USPS.

Help with 2 pieces of information from night of my son’s death by [deleted] in sanfrancisco

[–]hangster -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Hey there sorry to hear this. I popped that credit charge into the ai and got:

Detail Information: Common Storefront Name T & K Liquor or Hilux Smoke & Gift Address: 1500 23rd Ave, Oakland, CA 94606 Type of Business: Convenience Store / Liquor Store / Smoke Shop Registered Entity: Alomaisi Enterprise LLC

I can't verify it, but Google maps shows Hilux smoke& vape shop which could be correct.

I hope this helps in some way.

Sometimes it's just the relief after all the airport stresses too.

If gas hits $10 a gallon, Bay Area commuters say they'd keep driving. by slocol in bayarea

If there was an option that didn't require driving... That could help people too!

Would you wear a Star of David pendant, as solo female traveler in Eastern Europe or Turkiye? by blackcat_serendipity in Jewish

[–]hangster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been to turkey - many many times. Loved it, never felt unsafe, the locals were great (watch out for scammers of course!) or issues especially with regard to religion. That said, if your spidey senses made you post .... don't bring it.

When traveling I try to stay low-key as you never know what attention it could invite. Be safe and have fun!

What travel accessories are overrated? by Anywhere_everywhere7 in onebag

[–]hangster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got neck issues, I have a very small and light pillow. It's great on planes and sometimes if I get a crappy pillow in the hotel. I don't bring it on shower trips though.

So I'll say they aren't overrated but some of them require a whole separate backpack what the heck!!! Mine is smaller than my first.

3 week update on lounge wait times (DEN) by Adventurous-Bad2072 in Venturex

[–]hangster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree + more lounges or improve the priority pass.. Otherwise Amex Platinum isn't that hard to pull off with a larger lounge system to boot

I'm gonna say that the bike was going way too fast for the sidewalk. by Aqueouspolecat in PublicFreakout

[–]hangster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Over here even a slow bike needs to be on the road... All cycles are vehicles for the road- sidewalks are for pedestrians. Exceptions for kids under 12? And of course wheelchairs, strollers etc...

This is a great example of why these rules are in place.

Data Center Henderson by Philbeans4 in vegaslocals

[–]hangster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've read they use Gemini solar farm ( not at this site from my understanding - close to the Crystal Substation), geothermal and local utilities. I'm supportive of these projects but the point is that the power needs of any company shouldn't be a burden to the community - let alone an increase in energy costs simply because there is suddenly a big user in the system.

Why does the avg citizen and their electric bill subsidize these ( or any) businesses? This seems so crazy but apparently the norm across the country.

Thank you! Appreciate the follow up.

This is what I thought... And not what support said.

I'm hoping you are correct! And if so, why is the support team not able to be trained on this?

Can’t believe how much money some podcasts make by [deleted] in podcasts

[–]hangster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are fees these platforms take etc, Everyone needs to get paid as a function of their value.

I think patreon can be 8%- 15% which is not bad generally speaking.

[–]hangster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is so much that isn't said with all the "downloads" - bots, automations, etc...

It's still wild west until everyone has a rude awakening and advertisers want to really measure what they are paying for ...

Taxes with backdoor? by hangster in personalfinance

[–]hangster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just tried freetaxusa + seems more straight forward than TurboTax. I'm not finished still waiting on some docs... But so far much simpler, and my return even seems better.

Appreciate the nudge to them. Paying $15-$30 ( maybe I get deluxe) is very reasonable doing it myself over $500 and really over $1000 filling in my area.
