inDebate on my street: Should our local indie spot book only unknown bands?
Spot this same thing with streaming playlists and netflix. Everything pushes the safe, known stuff at you because it works, but then nothing new ever breaks through. A venue doing that mix is basically fighting the algorithm in real life. They use the draws to pay the bills, but those unknown slots are how you find the next big thing before the algorithm does. It's risky but that's how culture moves forward instead of just going in circles. When a place gets the balance right it feels like a real community spot, not just another content feed.

inAt the juice bar, I didn't tip for a smoothie and got a look.
What are we tipping for exactly, the five seconds of blender noise? They scoop pre-cut fruit from a bin, press blend, and pour. I don't tip my microwave for reheating coffee. If I'm tipping for a drink, it should involve actual mixing or steaming, not just one button.

inUsing honey instead of sugar in my recipes... better for health or just a sweet mess?
Try warming the honey first, @mila_flores, it REALLY helps in DRY air like ours.

inUpdate: That relentless coastal storm convinced me simple tarps beat complex tents
Ever notice how a screaming tent sounds exactly like your camping ego leaving your body? Spent a fortune on something that howled all night like a haunted banshee, while the hardware store special just did its job. Really puts your trust in clever marketing to the test. The tarp wins just by being boring.

inAm I the only one who feels completely wiped after what should be a good day?
Consider how many high achievers end up feeling empty because they never defined fulfillment for themselves. It's like running a race with no finish line in mind, lmao. We gotta separate the hustle from what actually makes us happy.
