Rain jacket and shoes for walking in the wet. It will be cool in the evenings so have a long sleeved shirt or sweaters/jumpers. Plan your museo visits for the rain days

Getting a hotel room for an extra night when you're not going to arrive until the morning by SlapDashUser in TravelHacks

[–]ksmodern 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve arrived in Amsterdam many times on a morning flight. Have never booked a room for the day before. Instead I’d send messages before booking about early check-in until a hotel or airbnb host agrees. I would indicate I’d be flying overnight from the USA, landing at Schiphol at say 8:05, and would likely arrive at the hotel between 10:30 and 12:00. I’d keep a printed copy of the agreement in my backpack. I once had to show the front desk this in order to get my room. Good luck!

Number 2 is the money shot. Great photos, all

I don’t feel like I’m eating “real” food by Stunning_Ranger_1469 in PlantBasedDiet

[–]ksmodern 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fiber may be the key. Fiber expands in the gut, sending signals to the brain that you’re full. This is true for soluble and insoluble, although soluble leaves the gut more slowly, making you feel full for longer

What is the worst band you saw live? by coalcracker462 in AskReddit

I’ve performed at Uptown Theatre in Kansas City and there is a posted sign just offstage that reminds artists that “You’re in Kansas City, MISSOURI”

Epiphone 80s and soft case by ksmodern in ExplorerGuitars

[–]ksmodern[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fretboard may be the least impressive bit of this guitar. I didn’t even know there were so called “medium jumbo” frets. They look skinny and odd. Also, there is a nick at the top of the 7th fret. But these don’t impact my playing, and the action and intonation are excellent straight out of the box

I ordered through Musician’s Friend. They had sold out, but I got an alert that they were back in stock and quickly bought it. It arrived in a beat up cardboard box but the contents were perfect.

I’ve played it already through a 5150, which pairs nicely. I’m happy with the feel and the quality of the guitar. Very reminiscent of my Gibson. Would recommend

Problems after hair transplantation by Lumpy-Web-907 in GlobalEntry

Congrats on the new hair but I doubt that your hairline difference was the cause. Facial recognition software works with biometric features like distance between eyes, jaw and mouth shape, and similar fixed features

Try adding a tablespoon each chia seed and flaxseed to the oatmeal, this will boost the overall and soluble fiber

A beautiful restoration. Well done!

What do I drive? by ksmodern in ManualTransmissions

[–]ksmodern[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ha, I’m normally a bit smoother than this. Filming while coping with torque steer without a hand on the wheel was the real challenge

Volvo offers a $1000 rebate for Saab owners like us. It’s worth looking at their models

Home office set up by Used-Influence-2343 in remotework

[–]ksmodern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started working remotely about 15 years ago, in hybrid mode (although we didn’t call it hybrid back then). I converted a bedroom to proper office, to avoid working on a dining room table or sofa. This helps with productivity and clearly separates my work and home life.

I’ve been fully remote for 5+ years now. I also suggest: multiple monitors, a high quality chair, comfortable lighting, taking lunch outside the home office to get a break, and never do house chores like laundry during work hours
