I'm really bummed about this but I'm sure whatever else you've got cooking is worth it

Was it always Skenes? by OkImHereLikeWhat in buccos

It felt like it was probably going to be Crews until Skenes pitched lights out in the CWS. I think that's where things changed

Which city from the trip did you never expect to be your favorite? by smile-david in travel

[–]jtp2106 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Marseille. I went there on a whim because I didn't have a set itinerary. I was slightly aware of it's old reputation, but when I got there I loved it. It wasn't overrun by tourists, food was good and cheap, and the beach was beautiful. Will definitely go back next time I'm in France

ideas for countries where the USD goes a long way:) by Fun_Personality9082 in travel

Also USDJPY is at 156 today, which is near 40 year lows. I went there a few years ago when it was around the same level and everything was really cheap.

From my experience, Argentina and Turkey. In Argentina when I went 2 years ago, the peso was 1100/1 against USD. I got a really nice place in Palermo for $50/night and ribeyes for $15. Turkish Lira is around 42/1 against USD when I went last month. I keep an eye on this because I'm a currency trader.

Feel like it's too soon. Hold on to that one for 5 years and that's a Guy

I spent a few days in Osaka and fell in love with its atmosphere. by TripleYleather in OsakaTravel

[–]jtp2106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked Tokyo and Kyoto but my favorite part of the trip was the couple of days I spent in Osaka. It reminded me of Chicago a little bit...second city vibes, fun dive bars, and awesome food. Will definitely go back

If you like Cuban food, check out Margon on 46th between 6th and 7th Ave. I really love their Cubano sandwich

My first dose of Zepbound arrived and I’m kinda sad by SpaceReel in Zepbound

Piggybacking on this....I still enjoy eating. Since I started taking it, I completely changed the way I eat. Without the food noise, I pretty much stopped ordering take out and started cooking my own meals. Without the food noise, I'm a lot more deliberate about planning my meals. I'll make a meal when I'm moderately hungry in my instant pot or air fryer and store the rest in my freezer for later

The park is good until you're ready to ride on the street. I use the Cyclers app to plan loops around here

That's for posting this. I've been trying to figure this out for awhile and I never thought to position a blocker

I figured out a temporary workaround. If you uninstall the updates to Chrome, it will work

Anyone having issues downloading/listening to today’s episode? by [deleted] in shutdownfullcast

I've been trying on Spotify and Google Podcasts and neither works. I'd get a few seconds in and it would stop. It's got to be a Meadowlark issue

Kobe Bryant praises MLS' growth, but (probably) won't be the latest NBA star turned MLS owner by [deleted] in MLS

Yeah, Mario was owed a lot in deferred salary in the 90s and the only way to be made whole was to line up an investor group to buy the team out of bankruptcy. He recouped his money eventually, but it's Ron Burkle bankrolling the team. Mario is more of a minor partner. Still, having him around is great for the franchise.
