What are your favorite foods to bring from home that don't need refrigeration? Any personal favorites that hold up on such long flights and taste decent?

When I travel, I don't get much choice in the season. Turns out I'm not too adverse to the heat and sweat and really enjoy the exploration. Trouble is I sweat a ton, and I'm prone to rashes when my tech underwear soaks through (not chaffing; I'm trying to avoid TMI) which can make walking much harder. At the moment my best solution is wear tech shorts and swap out quick dry underwear. I have a wicking layer shirt system for hot/humid conditions, but I can't find any good systems for below the waist. Any folks in similar situations? Hoping I can do better.

1. App required for refund: I needed to cancel my ticket and signed on to my account on their web page. Even after clicking on my ticket there was no way I found to request a refund. In the end I was forced to download their app. Fuck all the way off with that shit.

2. The refund did not include their bullshit "convenience fee" .

It makes me sad when I think about how special Drafthouse made going to the movies compared to now.

2025 Crosstrek Sport. I live in Austin, Texas and only drive to work twice a week. I'm looking for tires that are reasonably aligned with my actual use. Ride comfort and efficiency are nice, but I definitely don't need any sort of performance tires. The extent I'm likely to go off-roading is pulling up to a campsite that is explicitly vehicle accessible. Any advice?

(After searching through previous posts, it seems I am missing the part of my brain that can appreciate tires/wheels looking cool o. This vehicle. They're just the same picture to me. 🤷)

My estimated BB pickup date for the Foldi slid from the initial 8/7 to 8/11. It's not that serious... but it is.

How does BB manage preorders? Any hope of getting it earlier than my official prescribed appointment time? Advice welcome. I'm not willing to make a stink or anything, but if there's a chance, I want to know. Thanks!

What is currently the cheapest way to store a medium bag for ~2 weeks? There are so older posts, but they are years old so I wanted to check in with the current state.

My present understanding is that JAL offers services like this at the airports.

Also, Yamato will often be able to hold your bag for 7 days when you send it to a hotel or airport.

Last Ecbo is an option for up to 14 days, but the price is relatively significant.

Are there any additional options or can you comment about these solutions?

How much time do I need to self-transfer if I've only got a carry-on and use mobile check-in? Will I still need to go through security a second time?

Edit: Do the new "plastic" passports now work for mobile check-in?

Is it a fair to assume that population level help seeking behavior correlates strongly with self-diagnosis?

As a field we promote help seeking behavior through mental health literacy, stigma reduction and more. Despite it being an unintended consequence, is it a fair to assume that both the absolute number and rate of self-diagnosed help seekers would go up in response?

God knows I understand venting, but if it's never linked with action, positive change isn't likely. Considering through this mechanism alone this is likely to get worse rather than better, would discussing patient management techniques for this increasing population warranted?

For example, when you start your first in-person interaction, asking them why they're there and following-up with a question(s) when you smell this possibility. "What are your expectations? Are you open to my advice if I arrive at a different conclusion than the one you expect? etc."

If other specialties cope with health illness anxiety, we can manage this without blaming the patients that *are* ultimately seeking help.

Edit:
This is a response to posts on the subreddit complaining about ADHD and autism diagnosis seekers. These posts often give an air of annoyance, dismissal, and lack of compassion that I think is counterproductive to our fields. Especially considering it's a natural consequence of positive goals, like reducing stigma etc. I think managing them as part of our jobs as experts. Yet, while I see plenty of post critical of these patients, we don't have many constructive discussions about how to work with them.

The thing that really makes these posts is the unbridled audacity. They could have found a way to ask a question about whether or not this was a reasonable substitute, but no, they know better! And the original author should be ashamed of their behavior. Because how dare they waste the time of this confident person!

Hi my partner clicked on the following link from a known contact that acknowledge they had been recently hacked: https[:]//usexz[.]vu/IVCard

What would you recommend as next steps. She's already changed her email password.

FIrst, do cats even like running across suspension bridges? All the bridges I see seem to be designed in a way that deters cats from just jumping instead. (Can't say I blame them.) For example, the set I bought encloses one end of the bridge in a box, making the jump unreasonable.

Second, can catwall suspension bridges be made reasonably safe? I'm starting to doubt they can be implemented in a way that wouldn't unreasonably risk a serious accident when I'm not able to supervise.

Initially I had planned to space the planks equal to the width of a plank. I thought that if my cat missteps, they wouldn't be at risk of falling through completely. Though after researching, I see that there are substantial risks of strangulation with these bridges, particularly the ones with rope rails. Also, considering how jumpy cats can be, even with self-induced surprises, I can just imagine my cat tripping, getting their paw stuck, panicking, and jerking their body in a way I'd never be able to predict.

I considered spacing them to prevent enough space for a misplaced paw, but now doesn't that just risk a pinch injury? The bridges themselves don't exactly inspire confidence regarding how their positions on the rope isn't fixed and how natural fibers can flex. Plus, I don't have much reason to be as confident in knots as I would want.

Ultimately, I'm left with the impression that I'm unable to reasonably mitigate the risk for a catwall feature that I suspect my cat doesn't actually want, if they had a choice in the mater.

(P.S. Please don't do one of those comments, "Well if you're not comfortable, don't do it!" I'm not asking for permission. I'm just looking for additional perspectives, expertise, and possibly tips & methods that I might be overlooking.)

There's been a clear pattern of warranty claim horror stories posted to this sub. Is there any solid evidence whether it is due to only regional issues? I encountered someone that was emphatic that these types of issues, seemingly bad faith claim rejections, were due to regional corruption with 3rd party contractors and simply not a factor for the North American region. Is he full of sh*t?

Weee and Yami are asian grocery delivery services that have a ton of products and I'd love some direction about where to start. Thx!

What are some premade sauces, soup concentrates, dressings (available in Japan) that you could make yourself, but don't bother because you can save time and the product is nearly just as good?

Bonus points if they can contribute to utterly low effort "girl dinner" types of meals.
