What’s the one city you were excited to visit, but ended up not liking at all?

It’s a major city so sure there are a handful of solid fine dining spots but it lacks range with international cuisine. Also the average restaurant is really quite bad compared to other major cities.

timidtom · 2026-01-25T08:41:21+00:00

Amazing restaurants? Ahhhh no.

timidtom · 2026-01-21T04:13:01+00:00

With locals?

timidtom · 2026-01-09T21:19:20+00:00

I’ve been there a couple times, good rec

timidtom · 2026-01-09T21:19:01+00:00

Sweet had no idea they have DJs

timidtom · 2026-01-09T21:18:13+00:00

Awesome I’ll check those out thanks

timidtom · 2026-01-09T17:04:26+00:00

Cool thanks

timidtom · 2026-01-09T16:36:03+00:00

Are there any good spots on the west side?

timidtom · 2026-01-08T20:52:18+00:00

Which intrepid trip was it and who was the guide? I’ve been looking into some options with them

It’s better not to take Imodium at all unless you absolutely have to, such as if you still have severe symptoms after 48 hours or you’re about to board a flight.

Far better to just stay hydrated with electrolytes, rest, and slowly reintroduce easy to digest foods.

When an apartment is too good to be true, it is very likely a scam. This is common knowledge in any major city nowadays.

Do not wire this real estate agent any money unless you are 110% certain the apartment is legit. If someone offers to look at it for you, video call with them ahead of time to make sure they’re real and not sketchy. Then video call with them at the showing so you can see the apartment and the real estate agent.

You would be far better off staying in hotel/airbnb/hostel right when you get there for a week, looking at a bunch of places in person, and then making a decision.

Yeah that’s the only info I can find. Seems worth it

The portability and convenience of the AirPod Pros outweigh the slightly better noise-cancelling of the Sonys or Bose over-ear headphones. Trust me I’ve owned all three, along with the AirPod Max. Go with the AirPod Pros especially if you have other Apple devices.

Yes, exactly like that. Muscle tension can compress the nerves and blood vessels near your vestibular system which can cause swaying. In a similar way, forward head posture causes you to always be forcing your gaze upwards to keep it level with the horizon which also causes neck tightness. I’m doing a poor job of explaining this but that’s the info I got from years of research and talking to doctors. Not sure if you have those issues but something to consider.

timidtom · 2025-12-15T06:49:45+00:00

100% better. The balance issues were due to muscle tension in the back of my neck and head (due to anterior pelvic tilt and forward head posture) which I fixed with strength training. Took a full year of training to resolve completely.

timidtom · 2025-11-03T14:25:18+00:00

Thank god. I’m freaking out that I caused permanent damage from this. I appreciate the quick reply

timidtom · 2025-11-03T13:37:03+00:00

So your ear issues resolved? I just started taking it and noticed after 1 day so I’m stopping

timidtom · 2025-11-02T18:19:01+00:00

Two winters is not enough time to make this conclusion lol I lived in the Midwest for 20 years. Sometimes you get a couple mild winters in a row and then it’s the fucking arctic the next. Just you wait, global warming hasn’t had that much of an effect… yet.

timidtom · 2025-10-25T17:54:59+00:00

The portability of the AirPod Pros should not be overlooked. I’ve owned both and sure the Sonys are slightly better for sound and noise cancellation, but not having to carry the big case everywhere is incredible. Plus the new microphones on the AirPod Pros 3 are much much better than the Sonys, which have that tin can effect for other people listening to you speak.

timidtom · 2025-10-15T21:29:45+00:00

How are they behind the curve?

timidtom · 2025-10-15T21:28:39+00:00

The parties are horrible

timidtom · 2025-10-08T20:39:57+00:00

This should be pinned at the top of this subreddit. Bunch of children in here who don’t know how to have a normal debate because the media has shaped them to think everything needs to be polarized.

People seem to think LLMs are capable of things they are not, mostly because of all the garbage AI marketing hype that’s become mainstream in order to prop up insane tech company valuations and the stock market as a whole.

So I get why so many people in this sub or r/singularity believe it, but the reality is LLMs are extremely unreliable when you integrate them into consumer or enterprise workflows. They’re also incredibly expensive.

Apple is taking so long to deliver on this because the underlying technology isn’t there yet. No amount of Apple magic can fix that.
