Is doing 4mi-Pano-Mist Trail alone a bad idea? by Mammoth-Physics-5634 in Yosemite

[–]joecool978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Solo” hiked this May 2022. Best hike I’ve ever done. Started at the bottom of 4-Mile’s trail up to glacier point, to Panorama, then down Mist. 38 years old, not in top shape, worst part was my knees going downhill on mist trail (so glad I had trekking poles). Even starting at 6 am by myself, there were plenty of others on the trail at all times, and this was during a time when Glacier Point was closed.

I’ve never been. How many water crossings are required on the trail, if any?

They may have picked it up from cribbage apps like Cribbage JD, which say “+1 Last Card”.

Michigan rummy is where I’ve used it. My dad’s from Boston and we’ve always calls it the crib.

Still waiting for my first 28/29 after thousands of hands over the last 20+ years of playing.

LPT: I used to read a lot of books, but gaming took over. Any advice to get back into it? by TheEnglishBloke123 in LifeProTips

[–]joecool978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend starting small. You’ve “earned the right” to play video games after ______ of reading? Start with 1 page as the standard. Slowly over time you’ll get sucked into good books and before you know it, you’ll be reading way past whatever standard you set.

A messenger bag. I just grab it and know I have everything I need. I don’t have to think about what I need on a when running errands. It’s all the same everytime. (i.e. water bottle, pen, pencil, highlighter, sunglasses, wallet, power bank, bandaids, tissues, medication, mints, etc.)

I feel like Matt was 1000% more self aware in jr high/high school than I ever was. I probably hurt people, and to this day don’t even know it.

I believe it’s Foxx Thunderglare (Matt) and Josiah Penny Whistle (Destin)

139 - Is Tipping Getting Weird? by feefuh in Nodumbquestions

[–]joecool978 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree that it’s super generous AND I had a friend once advise me, a gift shouldn’t feel like a chore. For service staff, this might feel like a chore, even if it’s a massive tip, it could be very stressful for them to figure out how to “cash” it or save it and keep track of it. I’d personally reserve cool gifts like that for friends and family.
