agree with what everyone else has said here. worry less about “should” and go find your tribe wherever it may be.

as i once said to a friend who contemplated the same kind of move years ago, if it doesn’t work out you can always move back. not like it’s a one way street.

looks yummy! what’s in the little bowl?

i had a recipe for one which used caramel bananas, honemade toffee sauce and creme fraiche which cut through the sweetness beautifully. i need to go find that recipe - thank you

and if you like the sandwiches this is a terrific video https://youtu.be/eatQ9-79zGU

these are from a place in bellevue wa that specializes in them.

and feiw have been all over europe & asia but japan is hands down my favorite place to visit ever.

tokyo is a monster of a great city … foreign as you can get but amazingly easy to navigate.

very nice people, terrific food city with a really old beautiful culture.

all i can offer for advice is to not over think it. find a flight and hotel in your budget and just do it. guarantee you won’t be disappointed ❤️

wish i could argue with you but i cannot. despite being a nutrition dumpster fire, it was still delicious.

never thought i’d say this pre-covid: i sure missed business travel 🤣

💯i was in strong anger last week.

it’s a real restaurant - chinese place that apparently does legit korean chicken. great discovery after a long day of travel.

agree with previous comments you can’t fix but if you’re determined to diy maybe get some outdoor tile and tile over them? must be non stick and you’d need the right mastic but might work (?)

omg i used to have one of these!!! so cool what you’ve done with it 😭

great looking pickes - do you by any chance have a recipe?

hopefully whatever you were making with that sour cream will survive the beef rawhide replacement 🤣

really nice! may i please ask what printer you’re using and whether you’d recommend it?

welcome to you and everyone else coming over! looking forward to great shenanigans.

yes as everyone has said i like it here - engaged more here in 2 weeks than in 5 years on reddit. everyone seems nicer and you get the sense fills are genuinely trying to help build this community by getting out of their comfort zone and contribute. ❤️

spez fucking with 3rd party developers, mods and fucking down on lies to the community.

not at all. i fell into computing in my mid 20s. somehow i managed to learn enough to get myself hired at one of the largest technology companies in the world where i’ve now been over 20 years.

has it been easy? definitely not. without that classic computer science degree my peers have i’ve had to be scrappier and move faster to be on top of emerging tech where the playing field is a little more equal. i can this “surfing” the tech.

since i started i’ve participated in the birth of the internet, mobile, public cloud, big data, startups and now ai.

if you love it you can make it happen - just be realistic and stay scrappy ❤️

this ^^. even if we peel off 5% in a relatively even scrape across all the interests that’s enough content for me to scratch the itch daily.

and what’s inside?? inquiring minds want to know!

Ding ding ding - yes cilantro! 😊
