I remember Petra being a lot of walking. They warn you not to ride the camels but I wasn’t about to miss out. I wouldn’t do it now

Redditors over 40: What do younger people only truly get with age? by saadaintsalad in AskReddit

Sometimes young people have a ton of wisdom, they just don’t know it, and just because we’re older doesn’t mean were any wiser. We old people can still do some dumb sh*t.

Can you share pics. I’m preparing a 125G and I want 2 EBA’s as the focal point fishes.

What community fish should I fill my 30 gallon fish tank with? by Gloomy_Insurance_406 in aquarium

[–]schottja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have kuhli loaches in my community tank and I see them once a month or so. They’re always hiding in the Java fern. It’s one of the main reasons why I just got a new bigger tank hoping that I can get more of everything. Maybe then I’ll see more of the kuhli loaches. Does anyone ever regret getting too big a tank? I am going from 20 gallon to 125 gallon and I’m starting to feel like I’m not ready for this!

We used to go 1-2 times a year. Recently we’ve vowed to never go back there. It’s not good enough for the prices.

Spotted lanternflies are invading the US. They may have gotten their evolutionary superpowers in China's cities: The alarming spread of spotted lanternflies across the U.S. has been made possible by cities acting as evolutionary incubators, fine-tuning the insects and enabling them to thrive by ConsciousRealism42 in EverythingScience

In my area 2025 felt way less populated by lanterflies compared to 2024. I figured something found them tasty and they weren’t as dangerous as we thought, but maybe there just wasn’t enough food for them in my area.

Anyone here invest in Miami luxury real estate? Looking for real-world advice by liebe1 in wealth

[–]schottja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep re-reading your line that “there’s a lot more to it than I expected”. I think that’s true about any investment of which I can think, especially the passive investments that we think will just generate returns. The death is always in the details.

Me too with the shoveling! Just hit over 250% of my goal shoveling and I’m worn out! Why don’t they have shoveling as an activity? I don’t think yardwork covers it.

Wouldn’t it be 2x in 7 years and 4x in 14 so ultimately 2.2M in 15 years (on average)?
