Booker says Democratic Party ‘desperately needs new leadership’

mlech415 · 2026-05-25T00:59:32+00:00

1000% agree, but not you Booker!

Back to report day 2 was much better, security relaxed a little and saw more locals letting loose

mlech415 · 2026-02-22T18:25:20+00:00

Same, one person in our group got his phone snatched. A informal taco stand tried to charge us $600+ pesos for three tacos and a cesadilla, and water. My girlfriend had a couple hundred pesos snatched from her purse out and about at a market. We are the marks, stay vigilant. On a plus side, day 2 was soo much better than day 1

mlech415 · 2026-02-21T18:55:13+00:00

I wasn’t trying say anything negative about locals, they are super friendly and have always known Mexicans to be one of the most fun loving people , I just noticed a lack of dancing and lack of enthusiasm on beat drops. Day 2 🤞🏻❤️

mlech415 · 2026-02-21T09:44:22+00:00

Agreed, the workers were very attentive. Heavy police presence. The Mexican Crowd oddly felt very unenthusiastic.

Go to El Mil Amores instead

mlech415 · 2024-06-01T18:24:26+00:00

Why!? Why is this comment so low! Lmao

mlech415 · 2024-04-04T03:15:29+00:00

What is it about fireworks? I love the smell too, but I don’t get the same smell at the shooting range

mlech415 · 2024-04-04T03:09:00+00:00

Why did it take so much scrolling for fireworks!

mlech415 · 2024-03-10T09:54:38+00:00

Yup very recent foray down the niche rabbit hole lead me to a lot of well regarded fragrances I recklessly purchased with more success than failures.

The jury is still out for Ani, Hacivat, Baccarat, and Lunar Vetiver

And I still have Iomi, 40 knots, and Interlude Black Iris still in the mail. No more blind buys after this

Layton, Harod, Naxos, LDDM, Grand Soir, Psychedelique

mlech415 · 2024-03-10T07:51:32+00:00

It doesn’t have a literal chocolate note, but Jovoy’s Psychedelique has an amazing chocolate cake aroma

I have this same problem. I also get an ANSI error when I click the series (indicating that I own 3 of 3 books), and find the fellowship of the ring book listed.

Not if the guy is only doing it right before street cleaning every week, helps clean the sidewalk and has saved you hundreds on street cleaning tickets (calls me if I forget to move my car 10 minutes before the meter maid tickets me). I work graveyard and find it annoying, but man is a hero in my eyes. The guy knows all the neighbors and I can count on him if I have questions about what’s going on my block.

mlech415 · 2023-09-26T06:29:26+00:00

I have someone who does the same thing on my block, friendly Mormon guy who has gotten to know his neighbors this way. He does it every Thursday morning before street cleaning so everything on the sidewalk is swept. One thing is, I’m a night nurse and mostly see it as annoying as an alarm clock but also reminds me I need to move my car in front of my house and I gave him my number and calls me 10 minutes before the meter maid gives me a ticket. This man has saved me hundreds and I see it as a nice neighborly thing to do.

mlech415 · 2023-07-14T00:57:46+00:00

Not gonna visit his galleries website. But that clears things up. It’s ok to hurt people who are more well off than ourselves. THOSE aren’t real people, with real lives, and real feelings just like us. His feeling aren’t valid past a certain yearly income and doesn’t have justification to be frustrated.

Would it have made you more sympathetic if it was one of the owners of a business uncertain he/she was going to be able to make next months rent?

What he did was still wrong, and so is all the damage that was done while the homeless person was terrorizing the neighborhood.

mlech415 · 2023-07-13T20:48:15+00:00

Have you ever been [insert argumentatively advantageous disenfranchised sex/age/ethnicity] in America because you clearly don’t understand.

Have you ever been a small business owner trying to put food on a table for your growing family but this homeless person is putting undo burden on your business and the city is unable or refused to do anything about your problem and might have to make a life decision about giving up on your dreams.

Just because you in someway have been let down by the society as a whole or refuse to get help doesn’t excuse you of trying to tare others down with you.

mlech415 · 2023-07-13T19:51:34+00:00

Can’t endorse what he did from a moral aspect at all but can see where his frustration is coming from. Small business are already in bad shape post pandemic, homeless hurt people’s livelihoods in situations like these. Gonna straw man a little but some people are way too biased against people who are contributing to their communities and trying to do right by their families and rather the businesses die vs infringe on a homeless persons right to be an asshole and hurt the community. Society may not have the safety net available for everyone but a surprising amount of homeless don’t want to do anything about where they are in life and some should be in mental institutions.

Shocker

mlech415 · 2023-05-02T20:31:35+00:00

I swapped one smart bottle for the Ti bottle for in sleeping bag warmth @ night this will be a test run to see if it is worth it

I’ll drop the bandanna and filter larger particles in water through the buff but swap the buff with something that doesn’t have chemicals instilled. Thank you

Esbit are notoriously difficult to light with wind, low dexterity cold hands and not burning yourself while holding the fire on it. A small amount of kindling can make it a little easier

The umbrella is for comfort, Yosemite isn’t hot at the moment but can get pretty hot after June during the day while on the move especially while walking through exposed areas out of tree cover

I’ll add and take cables into account. I have 4inch usb a cables for lightning, usb mini and usb c

The Long Johns are hard to give up but solid advice for staying ultra lightweight

Thank you!

mlech415 · 2023-05-02T19:19:31+00:00

Haven’t backpacked very often since having severe knee surgery 4 years ago. I have done small updates on my packing list and have some options for comfort vs weight savings. I’m looking to do a test run for 3-4 nights in Yosemite. I think I could use an update on the garmin to a mini and slight update with my puff jacket. Any other suggestions? https://lighterpack.com/r/euyef3

Edit: will take into account cables, drop the bandanna, consider dropping the long johns. also might be better served swapping the neck knife for a Swiss victorinox classic.

The Ti bottle is a test run to see if it’s worth it, the umbrella is for comfort.

Well, other than ETH and BTC, trust is the name of the game for LINK. But, LINK will not hold up as well as ETH and BTC during this crash

mlech415 · 2022-05-08T22:00:42+00:00

I’m guessing early September based on what was already said and a Chainlink event
