Hot take: I spent $40 on a month of that new 'Vortex' streaming service and it was a total waste

Doesn't this just feel like everything now? A company spends all its money on the ads to get you in the door, but the actual thing is empty. It's like a cool looking restaurant with no good food. They built the whole platform around selling subscriptions, not around having shows worth watching.

I always figured the old Sunrise Mall in Sacramento was just a victim of online shopping, but the real story is way more specific.

Heard it had a lot to do with that big Macy's pulling out and the whole place just never really bounced back.

A ranger in Yosemite told me my tent was set up for a bad time

Oh man, that reminds me of my buddy's trip to the Smokies. He had his rainfly on but didn't know about the little vent windows at the top. A guy at the next site saw it all zipped up tight and was like, "Dude, you're gonna cook in there and soak the inside from your own breath." Showed him how to open them just a crack. It made a huge difference that night when a fog rolled in. He said he woke up dry for once.

Got my gear stolen from a cafe in Medellin because I trusted the 'safe' corner spot

My rule is the laptop cable gets looped around my leg or the chair leg. It's a cheap Kensington lock from Amazon. Thief would have to literally unbolt the table or cut the cable, which buys you the 90 seconds you need. Also, never put the passport in the bag. That stays in a separate pouch under my shirt.

Finally got a decent shot of a mammatus cloud after wasting $40 on a cheap phone filter.

Total scam" is my middle name, honestly.
