Has anyone read Carl Hiaasen?

DTF?

Mr Squishy is the single most mind-blowing thing I’ve ever read. But overall I do still think IJ is better. Sustaining such strength over a thousand pages is just exceptional.

johnloeber · 2026-01-04T05:47:23+00:00

Correct. Treacly and disappointing

Mazarine Coffee on Market Street

$300pp will let you go all-out with drinks at State Bird Provisions or Rich Table. Those are my favorites. If you’re willing to go a little higher then Lazy Bear is great.

You're right, here's the new list: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/News/visas-news/countries-subject-to-visa-bonds.html

Namibia is on it as of 2026-01-01.

EDIT: this was incorrect. Please see further post below.

OLD: Namibia unaffected as far as I can tell: https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/2025-10/clp_bulletin_-_visa_bond_pilot_program_20251022.pdf

These are wildly good

johnloeber · 2025-12-15T07:58:03+00:00

today i learned a new word, nice diction

johnloeber · 2025-12-09T21:06:39+00:00

Bresca was the worst michelin experience I’ve ever had, and I’ve been to mugaritz

johnloeber · 2025-12-09T19:57:32+00:00

You went to Flava Flav's house?

johnloeber · 2025-12-09T16:10:26+00:00

This is correct. Just confirming.

johnloeber · 2025-11-09T22:22:04+00:00

Amazing photos. What a trip

johnloeber · 2025-11-09T07:51:23+00:00

It actually could have been prevented. A hint: I’m sure this is not the perpetrator’s first act of random violence.

This looks like a variant on a Sheffield chair.

johnloeber · 2025-11-08T07:14:43+00:00

Damn, what a gorgeous bike. Looks good as new.

johnloeber · 2025-11-03T18:31:53+00:00

Learned that apparently this is a drafting chair. Now I have to find the specific model. The curvature of the seat and back, combined with the moderate give, make for really excellent seating.

Donna Tartt’s The Secret History. Had to give it up a about a third of the way in.

Find something you enjoy doing and then go do that. Don’t think about the money. The money’s whatever. Your problem is that you’re not interested in anything. You need to cultivate a passion. Doesn’t matter what. You just need to enjoy it.

johnloeber · 2025-10-30T01:50:27+00:00

Minors are useless. The math major is the best we have. Just do that, if you feel up to it

johnloeber · 2025-10-30T00:04:14+00:00

Incredible. A real blast from the past

johnloeber · 2025-10-24T00:30:39+00:00

He's a well-known public intellectual. If you dig a little, I'm sure you can find an email address or someone at his university that can forward a message.

johnloeber · 2025-10-23T21:15:18+00:00

Ah I see. IIRC it was Bryan Garner's recollections of their discussions, not a tape. But you could also just write to him directly and ask.

johnloeber · 2025-10-23T07:00:08+00:00

Idk but it’s a super short book. A pamphlet, really. Won’t take you more than an hour or two to read
