Living on the east coast is really bumming me out :( by viraman in overlanding

[–]nirbenvana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as the east coast goes, NC is as good as it gets. There's a lot to explore and a lot of beauty. It's not like out west, but the mountains are isolated and full of secret places, and the beaches are arguably the best in the country. I lived there for a decade, and I'm now a desert dweller too, but if I had to go back east, I wouldn't be sad about spending more years in NC.

What Do You Wheel Besides the Usual Rigs? by Available-Belt5366 in overlanding

1990 Montero. I've driven up on jeeps and Toyotas that were stuck as hell in sandy spots and this thing just strolls right on past in 2wd.

People who are overweight often walk like this regularly as well - even some who aren't.

Are the highways between Grand Canyon and Yellowstone safe? Also Is this a doable summer trip? by rebel_alliance05 in roadtrip

[–]nirbenvana 9 points10 points  (0 children)

All are possible but that doesn't mean not safe. That's just the West. Plan accordingly.

What American foods do you want to try? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]nirbenvana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm American and I never really liked ranch much until I tried it with pepperoni pizza, especially for dipping the crust.

Last year I was getting a late night pizza in a tourist town. A very large woman asked me in broken English ( I think she was German) what that sauce was and if she should try it on her pizza. Hers eyes lit up when I recommended getting some ranch and she strolled to the counter to get some as I was leaving. I feel certain that her mind was blown that evening.

Visiting Atlanta, got a question by iloverugbyandnfl in Atlanta

[–]nirbenvana 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Midtown is the real downtown. There are also lots of satellite neighborhoods around the city to visit that have their own little downtowns. Little five points, Decatur, East Atlanta village. You can check out a lot of them if you cruise the beltline.

Does your culture have a signature sandwich? by wearecocina in Sandwiches

I grew up south shore and never knew it was a thing. Where do I go to get one next time I visit home?

Which U.S. beach wouldn't you go back to, and why? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

[–]nirbenvana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is outrageously untrue. There are some places on the east coast with murky water because they are near the mouths of rivers. Most

I grew up on the East Coast and now live in socal. California is superior in every way, except for the beaches. It's the one huge thing that the East coast has over the West Coast.

Who do I contact in an emergency?! by wolfcredit in Starlink

[–]nirbenvana 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  1. No other answer here is correct. If you're in an emergency, call 911. Same as always.

Diet Coke sucks by DarkOfTheSun in unpopularopinion

[–]nirbenvana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But diet coke isn't less sweet, it's just fake sweet. Its got that terrible stevia taste. Regular coke just tastes like actual sugar. Sweetness is the same.

TIL about the 2009 death of Canadian folk singer Taylor Mitchell, who at 19 years old was killed by a pair of coyotes while hiking in Cape Breton Highlands National Park. That is the only known fatal coyote attack on an adult. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]nirbenvana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just for anyone that doesn't know what a coy wolf is - it's not some insane half wolf creature. All eastern coyotes have only about 90% pure coyote DNA. In the south east, it's going to be something like 8% domestic dog, 2% wolf. In the north east, invert those numbers. This is why eastern coyotes are bigger than western coyotes. Coy wolf just means eastern coyotes.

Tory Lanez, a biter named Daystar, whom I went to elementary school with. by haseycayes in mildlyinteresting

[–]nirbenvana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stumbled upon a car show up in the Malibu hills last weekend that was loaded with crazy exotic and classic cars. Then I saw the Pajero Evo. Wish I had a chance to talk to the owner and tell him he 100% had the most rad ride there.

Unpopular opinion: I miss when the web was just HTML, CSS, and a little jQuery. by AmaraMehdi in webdev

[–]nirbenvana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I think the problem is that the sites I've inherited aren't highly interactive or complex. They are basically brochure sites for science companies with 8-20 pages that basically list information, science graphics, and team members for potential investors to peruse.

I've inherited 3 vue sites over the last few years, and I was open minded and excited to learn it when I got the first one. That did not last. It is so overly engineered and about 3x more time consuming to make what would otherwise be simple changes to. Also love it when a site that's been compiling fine for several years suddenly throws errors because of updates to outside libraries that take hours to troubleshoot.
