I've traveled to many corners of the planet and have a different take than most. Many people try to min/max their trip, filling up every minute of every day which doesn't appeal to me at all. I prefer a laid back, impromptu schedule to give myself time to see and do stuff I didn't plan and time to breathe and enjoy being in a new place. To me, the worst thing you can do is overplan and overschedule so you're stressed out if something happens to screw up your tight schedule.

As for selecting what to do, I usually do tons of internet and book research finding things that sound interesting. I add everything to a list and to Google Maps as saved points and then try to cluster them into days, making sure I'm not packing in too much as noted above. I'm not especially concerned if I don't get to everything--if I really enjoyed a place, odds are I'll return and put focus on different experiences.

Me neither. How long till old.reddit.com goes away? That was supposed to be the next big spike in the Lemmy growth curve.

I can't believe I read that whole thing. I take that back, I can't believe Reddit actually thought this was a good idea and put it out into the world.

Even though I was on Reddit for 9 years, I never frequented r/startrek until this year and saw the mod posts about starting a fresh Lemmy instance. Being a member of the Federation in the Fediverse just really appealed to my geek brain.

I love the Enterprise-D so much I paid through the nose to get an Eaglemoss model of it for my work desk. I'm new to that whole side of collectibles and good lord, you can drop some serious coin on those.

I, too, like to place my garbage dump on the border so my neighbor can enjoy the aroma.

You just reminded me of when I first adopted these cats and I'd "lose" them in my tiny condo only to find them snoozing on top of the kitchen cabinets. Mine used the counters though, and not parkour up the wall to get there.

Wow, what I wouldn't give to erase my memory and watch some of those shows for the first time again.

I'm currently doing a rewatch of DS9 and I stand by my opinion that the second season is loaded with good episodes; most people shrug off the first two seasons and say the show doesn't get good until the third season but not me.

I didn't know he wasn't going to re-sign with the Hawks. IMO, he was the better of their two main goalies last year (the other being Petr Mrazek).

So what I'm understanding is that the big plot twist is that we're all holograms??! Really? Talk about predictable and boring.

Like I said, I'm flabbergasted that somehow this never occurred to me. I guess my brain assumed the awkward shape of a ladder (from a cat's perspective) would give them trouble and be harder to climb than leaping from floor to surface or surface to surface.
