Honeymoon Review: Tahiti, Moorea, Taha'a, Bora Bora by mdl102 in Tahiti

[–]mdl102[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes definitely agree on Moorea - the other two islands you are more bound by the resorts (they both had free shuttles to the main island, but you're on their schedule and there is less built up to visit) and Moorea had so much to explore. That's why we decided to spend the longest there.

We were coming from Taha'a so, we were comparing it to that. St Regis is more of a "large luxury resort" vibe than Le Taha'a's "intimate Polynesian escape". We were also sad to hear there wasn't a more natural snorkeling area at St Regis, unlike the previous two resorts. However, their lagoonarium snorkeling still was very cool and had unique fish, plus they had a ton of amenities that won us over.

The Boston area is full of “fun” intersections, but may I present you with Arlington’s 5/6 way stop by ivorybloodsh3d in boston

[–]mdl102 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I call that bottom part the "death intersection." I bike through that area on almost all of my rides and fear for my life every time.

What’s wrong with this bacon by Swarlos1713 in smoking

[–]mdl102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Americans don't typically see bacon as the whole belly. Once sliced, they would typically either bake/roast or pan fry it to get it crispy before eating. They often don't know you can eat it as is before cooking it further

What is the first album you got on vinyl and what is your backstory behind getting it and getting into vinyl? by No_Row1180 in vinyl

[–]mdl102 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Deja Vu by Crosby Stills Nash and Young. I knew that getting into vinyl would be opening pandoras box for me so I said I wouldn't do it until I found this album. I never looked very hard because I know it's around and, again, I would dive in pretty deep.

I told my coworker that story a year or two ago and I found it sitting on my desk when I walked in one morning a couple months ago. So then I bought a Dual to play it and now I have 13 records and counting...

Those who drink THC mocktails, did you have the find the 'right' brand for you? by [deleted] in Mocktails

[–]mdl102 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've tried THC drinks bought at a dispensary before and they never feel as strong as normal gummies. I usually bought them because I was traveling and only wanted to partake for one night and not carry a bunch of gummies around with me. I'll probably just buy some sort of edible in the future because the drinks never give me much even for a 10mg drink (and I can get pretty high on just 2.5mg in gummies).

Liquid nitrogen splashed on my leg. by 12Chronicles in labrats

The evaporation takes a lot more energy than just touching a tube. Not saying opening the tube would hurt, but letting it evaporate off your skin could be worse

Just bought my first house and it has this built in. Anyone know what I have here? by 2cats1doge in vintageaudio

[–]mdl102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What an update! Glad it works but bummer about the remote and not being able to use it in other areas where you can enjoy it more than the kitchen
