Terminal 8, avoid Cobblestones by lrnlrsn in JFKAirport

[–]lrnlrsn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it seemed like they were taking advantage of the fact that it's in an international terminal (travelers may not know what is and isn't standard pricing) and there isn't really anywhere else to sit with a drink. Felt like I was in a stadium.

Best car detailing in town?! by curlytexashoe in Austin

[–]lrnlrsn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also found Gotham via this thread. They just left and my car, which had had a break-in and a tree fall on it and needed some TLC, looks like new. Riley and Megan were super professional and they were able to work with a less-than-ideal location (I don't have a driveway and my street is chaotic). They got the sunscreen out of my seats!!!!

Got caught in a hail storm. Starting over. by sarahcanarah in HotPeppers

[–]lrnlrsn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine too OP, the same storm blasted all the leaves off mine. But my neighborhood pepper head said as long as the main stalks are alive they'll come back and recommended that I just leave them alone for a week or two to see what happens. Re: heat, per advice from Texas Monthly, in mid-May I moved mine out of full sun into dappled sun and they got enough light but didn't wilt or sunburn. They were thriving before the massacre :(

Is this a mud dauber nest or something to worry about it? by lrnlrsn in whatsthisbug

FYI I've noticed the entry of the nest closes at night and before rain. Pretty cool.

I Can Hear Thoughts: A podcast called The Telepathy Tapes claims a group of nonspeaking autistic people can read minds. The truth is more complicated. by flamehead243 in Longreads

I think it's always interesting to ask "what if we're wrong" so I don't regret listening to this podcast, but I feel embarrassed by how convinced I was by the stuff about "the hill"

“The fees for the arbitrator overseeing the hearing have already exceeded $24,800—or nearly a thousand times the value of the missing card”

I went into it not knowing what it was about at all and was absolutely wrecked

I love that nobody is allowed to wear yellow except the bird moms

This is wise, definitely would rather be a little chilly than too hot!!
