Heya - I've been on 6 cruises, and everytime it was just my lady and I. I invite friends all the time, and no one has ever accepted. Until this time - my "BIG Birthday Cruise" and 8 additional people are going. For all 8 this will be their first cruise.

For those that have cruised with groups, how do you handle it? Just tell people what you are going to do, and let them decide to join or not? Herd cats and try to get everyone everywhere? Ignore the whole thing, and just hope you run into them?

I want them all to have a good time but this is my birthday, I don't want to project manage everyone elses vacation.

Suggestions/thoughts/plans requested!!

I'm doing a short cruise for my 50th birthday in a couple months. I'm not new to Carnival (this will be cruise 5 on Carnival), but I'm curious if I'm missing anything.

I've done Farenheit 555 and enjoyed it. Likely will make it my Birthday night dinner. We mostly hang out at the Piano Bar or night club in the evenings and during the day we kinda just relax.

Is there anything that is "must do" on the ship for you? This time on Radiance if that matters.

TIA!

Imagine the pillow fights we could have. Have them spray feathers instead of blood when hitting.

I've always been pretty good at accepting new slang. I just never cared enough to argue against the new meaning of things.

Until hearing the GenZ trend of "raw dogging a flight" or whatever. I'm case you're unaware, it now means "doing a thing (e.g. flight, or commute etc) without using any headphones, music, social media, or similar technologies and just living in the moment"

I'm sorry but fuck right off with that.

Raw Dogging has one meaning and will only ever have one meaning. Fucking without a condom.

Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

Been doing due diligence and deeply considering this as the next step in my work life. Want to get 2-3 locations, but none currently exist out here.

The business model, the franchise fee etc all seem ok to me. My question:

Build out of each location is likely more than I have saved. What's all your experience with SBA on a multi-location franchise build?

All these "young me, now me" posts make me really sad.

I've been looking forward to this reunion for awhile, because I look pretty good for my age, and I'm REALLY excited to show off a little. Then this little trend happens, and some of y'all make even my little baby face look old. STAAAAAHP IT!

Ok, No but really the point...

I have no idea what to expect. Who all has been to a 30+ reunion?

I'm just getting a little awkward feeling. I dunno. Maybe just a word of encouragement?

All I can think is: What AI bot did it first to start the trend to better learn how to properly age people for image generation or police sketches?

Thanks y'all for helping train our future overlords.

On the XZ and RX3, when you click the hardware browse button while on the waveform screen it returns you back to the browse screen.

On the Omnis-Duo, clicking that button does nothing. To get back to the browse screen, you can to tap the browse button on the screen.

I don't mind tapping the screen, but my muscle memory is so engrained with just clicking that hardware button.

Anyone know how to get the hardware button to react like older hardware?

Outside whats changed due to COVID protocols is there anything I should know?

My favorite new (to me) tip that I've found is buying magnetic hooks to hang things in the room. That's the kind of magic knowledge I'm looking for, or really anything new to Carnival or my ship. Thanks!

During my first playthrough I played Warlock, and played "criminal" background. Generally a good guy, but would lie and cheat galore. Not evil but not really good.

I only save scammed at the end to see what endings I'd get with the final decision.

I wanna do a much slower run this time, potentially with mods. I'm waffling between rogue (Asterion was invaluable with lock picking), Wizard (never used Gale since I was the caster) and oathbreaker.

The only things I know is I wanna do The Dark Urge, and more or less skip the origin character story lines.

Suggestions?

3 months in and I just couldn't get used to the size of the Pro. I loved the phone, but I didn't use the telephoto lens once. So I guess the only thing I'm going to lose is some battery?

This is the third time I tried to use a larger phone (and longest I stuck with it) but I guess I just can't.

I love the thing, but at least the base 7 is basically the same thing.

Anyone else do similar?
