We all know the beaten to death stuff, but what about the lesser known stuff? Things that aren't just the touristy shopping, eating, and drinking at wineries...

I'll go first, we usually stay up there in the off season, and one thing we did last year was late night bowling at Cherry Lanes. Some others, that I think are lesser known, are the door county historical museum, the miller art museum, and uncle tom's candy store way up north.

Any other suggestions, that are more in line with what we like to do?

Looking for a library to check out, and a recommendation for a good lunch cafe in downtown sturgeon bay, within walking distance of 3rd Street. The gnoshery looks interesting, but I'd like other rec's as well

I guess it's people who can't exist quietly, like everything has to be done at volume 11. I know, it's okay to make some noise, but there exists a point where it's like...really? Why can I do the same exact thing and make half the noise, or no noise at all.

Putting their tumbler or mug down, tapping or clicking a pen, using a keyboard, coughing, using a spoon, shuffling papers, taking a drink, blowing their nose, walking, getting up from their chair, closing a desk drawer, eating, talking, all deafeningly noisy...

Everything they do, it's all loud, it's all done like they're deaf and have no idea what noise is, or how loud their actions are. Or maybe they just weren't conditioned or not taught to care about what they are doing?

For example: I make less noise putting my metal bottom yeti down on my bare desk, than my coworker does putting theirs down, but on a napkin. Why is the napkin there? I don't know, but you'd think it would lessen some of the CLANG...but it doesn't, it's still louder. It somehow makes more of that metallic noise.

Another example: a person I work next to will pickup and DROP their spoon every time they use it. I mean like they'll pick up their spoon, take a scoop of yogurt, put it in their mouth then release the spoon onto their desk. Like a mic drop, but with a spoon.

Pickup the spoon, Chew...drop the spoon. Pickup, eat, drop the spoon. CLANG...Every single time making that metallic ringing noise of a metal spoon hitting a hard wood desk...

I don't do it with everything, but sometimes I'll get a weird feeling about a price, if it's on sale, or if just seems too low, I'll take a picture of it.

I don't do it all the time, and I'm sure I miss something here and there. But, it's often enough that it's worth my while, because a good portion of the time when I get that off feeling, and take a picture, it ends up being wrong at the register.

It's nice to have the picture to bypass the need to walk back there or have to wait for a price check.

I had one yesterday, something rang up for $3.69 when the label clearly said $2.99, showed them the picture and it was fixed.

I want to pocket carry my J-frame (Smith 642), but with a "proper" holster it's just too bulky, and I can barely get my hand in the pocket to get on the gun, let alone draw

I have a trigger guard holster, and it's much more comfortable that way, but the bare muzzle is going to eat through my pocket liner in no time, and it doesn't really support the gun staying upright in my pocket

Is there a very minimal pocket holster that would basically just cover the muzzle and trigger of the gun, without adding so much bulk?

On multiple occasions, I've had 3 separate coworkers come over to talk to me...while actively chewing on food, and proceed to stand really close to me (I'm talking less than a foot away), chewing on their food at the same time they're talking in my ear as they lean over to talk to me, or look at something on my screen.

If it's not for the chewing noises, they're distorting their words around whatever they're rolling around in the mouth, and if it's not that, it's the thought of being sprayed by microscopic particles of whatever they're eating.

HAVE SOME MANNERS. Chew on whatever, swallow, then walk over and talk to me. But for the love of god, can you not chew on food when you're talking to me, especially not when you're less than a foot away from my face?!?!

I literally watched one coworker do it to another, luckily this time it wasn't me. They rolled up their chair, chewing on whatever, and leaned in to look at the others screen, while still continue to chew. Their mouth was less than a foot away from the poor guys ear...like REALLY?!?

My favorites currently are: Milky Way midnight, sanders dark chocolate caramels, Reese's caramel big cups, Lion bar, Twix and 100 grand bar.

I do like some peanut butter, but not a ton, it's definitely something I have to space out. I don't mind peanuts or nuts, but they can't be too overpowering, more for added texture than anything. I like caramel, but nothing too hard or super chewy.

I'm looking for a candy bar I probably haven't had before, but kind of in the same realm as my favorites

Any suggestions?

I currently have the Engage 2 plus, use them without the mutes, and find them decent enough for most things. I can still hear and talk, but most of the stuff that tends to overstimulate me is cut down and reduced.

However, I find myself wishing I had more reduction. Most of the times it's fine, but some days and situations, I want more.

I want to wear them mostly at work, and I'm talking 6-8 hours a day. I work in a small office, nearby several very noisy people...but, I also need to be able to answer the phone and also talk to people, so that is also a consideration.

I'm debating between going with the switch 2 and the quiet, but I'm not sure which to get

I like the quiets, mostly because they're cheap and look comfy to wear mostly all day. I've read they're softer or squishy? But then I'd be carrying 3 sets of earplugs (my actual Bluetooth earbuds, the engages and then the quiets)

I really do like the idea of the Switch, as all I'd need to carry is one set of loops, and I can easily switch between modes depending on the day or situation, without having to remove them from my ears.

The only concern is comfort with the switch, as they look bigger than the quiets and seem to be hard plastic?

Thanks in advance

I suppose it depends on the environment, but I've always found myself mostly bothered by one main person at a time. There's always a few people who are kind of "secondary," but there always seems to be the "big one" that causes the most amount of stress.

The second that person walks in, my brain instantly goes into fight or flight: I get annoyed, I feel my stress level spike, I start looking for reasons to leave, I put in my earbuds, etc...

When I lived with my parents, it was my dad. Now that I'm living with my wife in our own place, it's my cat that won't shut up.

When I'm at work, it's mostly this one specific co-worker who makes some kind of noise all day long. I feel so much better when they come in late, or are on vacation.

Granted, I have other annoyances, but they feel minor compared to the level of stress this person makes me feel. Constantly talking, snacking all day long, coughing, clearing their throat, tapping their pen, drumming on their desk, talking with food in their mouth, humming, always exclaiming and emoting, just making some kind of noise all day long. Some days I go home completely mentally drained.

Another coworker snacking on chips, or coughing, or clipping their nails? Yea, it's annoying, but it passes quickly. But with this main source, it's all day long. They make noise all day, so all day I'm in this level of heightened awareness and annoyance, and it makes everything else worse, to the point where someone else snacking on chips or coughing makes me feel the same level of rage as if it were coming from the main person

I don't have very much rail to cut, and it's HO code 100. I was looking at Xuron, which look to be fairly reasonably priced.

Not sure whether to go with the top cutters or the flush

Let's say you have two pieces of Kato unitrack, the track on the left side powered by its own DC circuit, and the track on the right is powered by another DC circuit.

In between the two tracks and circuits are two insulated unijoiners, creating two separate blocks of power.

In theory, if the polarities were the same, and you had both throttles on each circuit set to the same speed and direction, could you run a locomotive across the insulated unijoiner?

My wife and I visited Omaha in late May and we were so impressed that we're coming back again later this summer (middle of August) . It may sound odd, but this is the first big city I've felt a very strong pull to return to

We hit a few highlights (the zoo, Luminarium, fat putter mini golf, pedestrian bridge) on our previous trip, but I'd like to explore some more hidden gems of the city.

Looking for a mix of indoor and outdoor things to do, not necessarily food, but more activities or just things to "must do/see."

What would you recommend?
