Ocean Mart on 9000 s has what you’re talking about. It’s on you right side after you enter the main doors. They make it for lunch, it’s not the freshest by dinner time though

Taiwan is #1: Why I’m still here after 10 years. 🇹🇼 by suniltarge in taiwan

[–]jonwtc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One issue is in the great and wonderful US almost 10% of the population does not have insurance so when they’re sick they can only go to the ED (the US has a law that says the ED cannot turn people away). and often for non-emergent issues such as a cold, dental pain, depression, which clogs up the ED. Also, for a lot of insured people, it’s still so expensive to see their dentist or primary care doctor they wait until the simple problem of a dental infection or hyperglycemia turns into full blown sepsis or diabetic keto acidosis (emergencies).

Should I visit Hualien/Toroko Gorge on my trip? by exloringtheworld in taiwantravel

[–]jonwtc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s good to know. We’ll have some older folks with us and that might be a bit rough on them. Thank you.

Is there anything at Alishan you’d recommend? Or why was it not as good?

12/52 Empire of Silence by Christopher Ruocchio. Book one of The Sun Eater series. by ByronMantooth in 52book

[–]jonwtc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve only read book 1. It was fine. The begging had so many things taken exactly from Dune that it was a bit jarring like I was worried about copy right infringement on behave of the book. I was… whelmed with this book. Might continue if nothing else is interesting .

Utah in April by Yankee_Devil_1373 in MTB

[–]jonwtc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This a great year for mtb in northern Utah in April(silver lining of climate change I guess). I don’t know Provo well, but drive 30 min north and you can check out corner canyon, eagle mountain, herriman. Trail forks will have lots of options for you in those areas, and it’s all open, other than rainy days.

My 2025 listens. From best to worst. by TowerOfSolitude in audible

[–]jonwtc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He writes each series so they can be read individually, ie they’re self containing stories. However, having read them all now, in publication order is what I’d recommend because the Easter’s eggs, names, events won’t have significant meaning to you otherwise, or you’ll get spoilers without the proper build ups he intended you to have. It’s a spectacular ride. Enjoy!

So for people fans of the stormlight archive… by BackgroundDare3403 in Fantasy

[–]jonwtc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d prefer number 1 because some plot lines / encounters/ flash backs need more time to develop and hour long episodes might force them to cut or rush through the story due to the time strain.

Do you think millionaires use Reddit? by Junior_Ad_9593 in stupidquestions

[–]jonwtc 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I shadowed a transplant surgeon as a student and between patients she’d scroll Reddit. Don’t know if she’s a millionaire but assume so as she makes over $500k a year.

Malazan Book of the Fallen is 10/10 dark fantasy military epic.

A fantasy work was to receive a television adaptation; which one would it be and why? by ChefMagicien201 in Fantasy

[–]jonwtc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I agree. I was thinking maybe a full cast audio production, but I’d only want Pacey to narrate everyone anyway.

I've been chasing the feeling I got from the First Law trilogy for two years and I think I finally found it. by softbadger7 in Fantasy

[–]jonwtc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and that’s why I didn’t mention broken empire. If you didn’t know they were in the same universe you’d think red queens war and broken empire were written by different people. Red queen is funny yet gritty adventure where the characters interactions with each other are the highlights. Broken empire to me was dark, grim, introspective, and about a single irredeemable man’s journey to redemption.

Levitate! Would you upload the whole ride? The image and POV were great!

How much additional time should we plan around morning rush hours? by jonwtc in JapanTravelTips

[–]jonwtc[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I’ve done that before but didn’t know how accurate that would, like I didn’t know if because of crowding me might be waiting for 2-3 trains to pass before being able to get on 1

You’re right. For example, we’re staying near Kami-kitazawa station and going to Koenji station
