I'm sure this has been asked in some form a bunch, but various crises (environmental, political, otherwise) have a way of changing moods about things like this, so I figured I'd ask.

I'm headed to PR for a week in September -- a few nights in San Juan, then driving to Rincon. I have a long list of places I'd love to try while I'm driving around, but what's the current vibe on tourists who don't speak much Spanish at all?

I really have no excuse, since I've played soccer my entire life, surrounded by native speakers. My Spanish is limited to things like "ball," "pass the ball," "why didn't you pass the ball," "I was wide open," and lots of insults. Pretty sure it won't help me order f

I’ll be roughly downtown-ish tomorrow for work but want to watch the Newcastle v Barcelona match at 4. I’m a lifetime NUFC supporter so I’m not sure about the viability of Arsenal bars, etc. Any suggestions?

I'm always running into folks who are looking for a specific thing and then realize I have no way of communicating with them outside of comms range. It would be great to have some kind of flare gun or some colored flares to send up to let someone know. Just say hey I'll send up a green flare if I find it. Still requires communication, still enables deception for all you bloodthirsty heathens.

I didn’t buy tickets this year because I was supposed to be out of town, but a death in the family kept me around. Are resale tickets a thing? Trying to find a way to get me and my kids to the show this weekend to distract them from the death, but I’m striking out.

I'm cooking for about 60 and I'd prefer to make my own tortillas. I've made plenty for family meals, but I've never made 150-200 at a time. Should I just make them way ahead of time and then treat them as essentially store-bought the next day?

I'm also open to the answer being "don't bother, it's not worth the effort."

Don't worry, this isn't a lack of planning. My daughter (10) and I are heading into town from Ann Arbor this weekend for a sleepover at the Field Museum. We were planning on hanging with family tonight, but they came down with fevers this morning. The last thing I expected to be doing was finding a solid meal downtown on Valentine's Day.

Looking for something awesome. She loves tacos, sushi, and fancy stuff. Would prefer something that feels special since this trip is a Christmas present, but I'm guessing there isn't a reservation left in that entire zip code. We're willing to drive a bit, but we're staying at the Chicago Athletic Association. I just don't know

My daughter and I will be in SD the first weekend in Feb. Where should we stay? I travel a lot and generally stay in interesting boutique hotels but the last time I was in SD, I was a crusty 20-something on my way to Joshua Tree, so my memories are pretty useless. Trying to entertain a really outdoorsy kid for a weekend and make her feel special.

We'll definitely be doing the zoo one day and maybe sea world (or some other touristy bullshit) the next, so getting to at least those two spots with relative ease would be best. I've heard the rest of Balboa Park is pretty interesting, as well. Some of the family resorts around Mission Bay caught my daughter's eye, but I don't know if they're obno

I couldn't find any posts talking about this specific issue, but no matter what I bind my melee and super abilities to, they always end up the same. When my super isn't up, that's fine, but it means that I can't melee at all without firing my super if it's charged. Makes things a huge pain in the ass. CVars files look fine, too. Annoying thing is that everything was working fine, then the next time I logged in, it was broken. I didn't change anything in the interim. Any ideas other than a reinstall?

I've been using my original boards from 10-11 years ago that were just solid 2x4 and cheap birch. Great, durable tailgating boards, but they've taken a beating over the years. Decided I'd try to to make a better set, particularly since I had specific ideas about the board art. This set was a gift for my uncle (because I needed to do it once to learn how to do it right for myself), and I'm about to start the second set. I feel like it needs more poly, but they feel too damn slick with more than 4-5 coats. These have 4 coats, and they might need more for protection, but they are for an indoor space so maybe not.

Turns out, most cornhole folk in Michigan don't follow the EPL much

I've seen a ton of posts here and around stack/askubuntu related to this issue. I just received a new machine that I needed to set up for my employer and was experiencing the same thing, so I figured I'd post my experience. Obviously this can't be a solution for everyone, particularly those who have specific distro needs, but if you have the ability to just install 21.04, you don't have to handle any of the fixes yourself.

tldr: find a way to upgrade your kernel to 5.11+

With how many musicians there are around here, someone has to be interested in teaching a 9-almost-10-year-old kid some musical basics. Sure, I'd really prefer he started out with something more classical like piano so he can pick up some theory, but for now I just want him to stay interested. Would love him to just learn how to use some production software and controllers so he can develop his rhythm and composition enough to let his creativity loose.

Planning on picking up a digital piano of some kind as a controller and maybe ableton live + either an akai mpc or novation launchpad pro. Definitely open to more accessible hardware options, considering my friends have a habit of recommendin
