Japan-style toilets, a technology which, if it did anything less sensitive than what they actually do, would be unnecessary to recommend because virtually everyone reading this thread would already own one.

Highly recommend quitting job and moving to Costa Rica.

I've heard Panama is an excellent pick for American expats, too

Rats are the bestest pets. Small, fluffy, super smart, cheap, and low maintenance. It's also hella hipster and attracts lots of interest and conversation when bringing them on the train. And if one is new to pets they don't live more than 2-3 yrs so not a huge commitment :)

Can confirm, had a very dope rat named Mr. Stripey Face. The 2-3 year lifespan lands solidly in the "cons" category for me, though. RIP MSF.

- Eye mask for sleeping (Sleep Master® Sleep Mask) and ear plugs (try as many as it takes to find the ones that are for you, I've tried at least 10). This will improve your sleep significantly. - 16-18 hour fasts

- Find out the perfect socks, underwear, and shoes brand for you and then always just reorder the same ones whenever they're old - BeatsX headphones, gym and commute headphones that don't leak sound or annoying to put away to talk to someone like Airpods - Air drying your clothes

The desert. Beautiful, cheap, easy to reach; and the absolute stillness and silence, the directness of life there, puts into perspective the tumult and din we make for ourselves in the city.

What's your recommended way to experience the desert, for someone in the South Bay?
