How Do You KAVU? The Ultimate KAVU Bag Guide
If you've ever been on the hunt for a good day bag, you've probably come across a KAVU (pronounce KA as in "cat" and VU as in "shoe"). Described as "true outdoor wear" and the go-to bag when adventure calls, the KAVU line of bags are colorful, functional, modern, and reliable. It's everything you want in a travel partner, whether you're trekking through the mountains or just up to the local playground.
With all the hype and popularity surrounding KAVU bags, we come across lots of questions too. Perhaps it's the funny name (it's an acronym for Klear Above Visibility Unlimited) or the seemingly unlimited variety of styles – is there really a difference between the rope and rope sling bag?? (Yes there is; we'll get to that.) You have questions – Mori has answers. Oh, and we also have KAVU bags – check out our selection! Continue reading "The Ultimate KAVU Bag Guide" »

The "V" formation was popular this season; but instead of focusing on the hurts and injuries it caused; it's better off just to mention it and continue with the highlights of the season.
After the inaugural scoring values of a year ago, changes were made for this season...as the game continued to progress forward.
A season highlight came in the season finale between powerhouses Yale and Princeton. Battling to a scoreless tie, both teams shared the top spot in the final Intercollegiate Football Association standings.
Princeton held a 68-0 margin Lafayette at the break; then exploded for 72 second half points; winning 140-0. The 72 points was the second highest point production in half during the Pre-1937 era.
An interesting point, no pun intended, was this was Princeton's fifth consecutive game holding an opponent scoreless; while Lafayette would go on to lose its next two games by a composite score of 48-0.
College football's longest played rivalry began this as Lafayette and Lehigh would meet twice; with the former winning by a combined score of 88-4.
The teams would meet 60 times before 1937; with Lafayette holding the advantage, 39-27-4...with the 39 wins being the most wins over the same opponent.
While it was more less a part of the Big 3, this season Pennsylvania showed it deserved to be mentioned with the other 3 Eastern powers, finishing with a 6-1-1; tying its alumni and losing only to Princeton 31-0 in the second game of the season.
Behind A.T. Baker's 55-yard punt return, Princeton defeated Harvard, 36-6 before a crowd of 3000 people at Harvard's Jarvis Field.

In today's online market having a professional looking website is the key to generating quality leads and sales. Large companies have the luxury of being able to afford a custom website, but for the smaller business or even the freelance web designer the budget might not stretch that far. Below are five reasons why you should think about using a web design template.
For small businesses or anyone working to a tight budget an HTML template is the perfect option. These days a custom made website can be expensive so it's understandable why many people are turning to pre-made templates as a cost efficient option.
The vast majority of pre-designed templates will offer a great deal of flexibility when it comes to customising the look of your website. You'll be able to change such things as the logo as well as customise the background and font. A lot of website templates will also offer additional services on the installation.
With mobile having overtaken desktop there is more and more need for your website to be responsive. Google is putting more emphasis on this and are lowering mobile unfriendly websites in the rankings. Most modern day website builders will offer fully responsive templates for both mobile and tablet. You might have to edit and customise it to suit the screen but once done you won't have to worry that your site is not being displayed correctly.
The temptation to choose a HTML template because of its fancy design is risky. Having a website that looks great is an obvious benefit but business owners need to pay closer attention to the usability factor. It doesn't matter how good your website is, if it offers a poor user journey then it's not going to be successful. Pre-designed templates might look conservative but they will certainly offer much better usability features.
In the past pre-designed templates were not always SEO friendly, but a lot has changed. Now most will offer solutions for SEO which can help your site to rank higher in the SERPs. You can get plugins within the admin panel which will give you access to provide full on-page optimisation of your website.
Ultimately it will come down to your business needs and budget. Custom design websites might seem like the answer but will be expensive. If you want to be able to handle the development of your website on your own then as a starting point the pre-designed HTML template is the way forward.
If you're looking for a template for your web design business then give one of our free HTML website templates a go.

When I'm dying, I want to think I did what I felt was best for the words I was writing," William T. Vollmann declared in a 2014 essay in the Atlantic. "For an artist…it's good to remember that nothing is true for all time—and therefore, that all is permissible. You shouldn't get stuck in any one truth."
The author of more than twenty books of fiction and nonfiction, Vollmann is known for placing himself in dangerous situations in pursuit of artistic authenticity. That same quality has made him into something of a cult figure among his fans, drawn to the mythology of a writer whom the New York Times Magazine described as showing "a disregard for personal danger that would shame Hunter S. Thompson or Errol Flynn." At twenty-two, he traveled to Afghanistan in hope of supporting the mujahideen rebels' fight against the Soviets; in the early 1990s, he survived a sniper attack in Bosnia that left his companions dead; he also spent two weeks solo at the magnetic North Pole, researching a novel, during which he nearly died of hypothermia. He's written about smoking crack with prostitutes, riding the rails, and visiting a nuclear hot zone in Japan, among other subjects, but says he writes without an intention to shock his readers. "I don't shock myself, and I don't care about shocking others," he told the Paris Review in 1993. "I'm not an egocentric or a performer."
Vollmann has traveled widely in his search for knowledge and understanding, writing about subjects as complex as immigration, poverty, war, climate change, racism, prostitution, and others. He also takes photographs, paints, draws, and produces other artwork in his studio. In 2013, he published a book of photographs, a series of self-portraits, cross-dressing as a woman named Dolores. "Not only am I physically and emotionally attracted to women," he writes in the introduction to the book, "I also wonder what being a woman would be like."
His novel Europe Central won the 2005 National Book Award in fiction, and his seven-volume book on violence, Rising Up and Rising Down, won the 2003 National Book Critics Circle Award. Named by the New Yorker in 1999 as "one of the twenty best writers in America under 40," he has written for many publications, including the New York Times Book Review, Esquire, Spin, Granta, the New Yorker, and Outside Magazine.
In 2012, Harper's published Vollmann's essay, "Life as a Terrorist: Uncovering my FBI File," which recounted Vollmann's discovery, upon filing a request under the Freedom of Information Act, that the FBI once suspected him of being the Unabomber. In the essay, he details the loss of personal freedom he experienced as a result and criticizes what he sees as an American surveillance state.
Willow Springs spoke with Vollmann during the Get Lit! Festival in Spokane shortly before the publication of his collection Last Stories and Other Stories. We discussed empathy, the importance of story, and his travel to places of conflict.

Today, I am giving away two books that I absolutely loved and couldn't put down! Both books are by Aven Ellis–Connectivity and Waiting for Prince Harry. Truth be told, I LOVE all of Aven's books.
written by Aven Ellis
published by Soul Mate Publishing, 2013
find it here: (affiliate links) Barnes & Noble, Amazon, Book Depository, Goodreads
See my 5-star review here.
About the book – from Goodreads: Overachiever Mary-Kate Grant (who is indeed named after an Olsen Twin) has followed every rule to the letter to pursue her dream of working in TV programming. Ripping a page from the "hard work pays off" playbook, she takes an assistant level job at a Chicago sports network to break into the industry.
MK has no time or desire for a relationship right now—she is totally focused on her career and being independent, unlike the other women in her family.
But MK's plans are run through the shredder when she finds herself working for William Cumberland, a British media mogul who made his fortune with Connectivity, a social media site. William blows into Chicago just like the winds off Lake Michigan and purchases the group of networks MK works for—and makes her his personal assistant in the process.
Suddenly MK finds her career plans in jeopardy. William makes her question everything she has ever thought and has the uncanny ability to see right through her. And for the first time in her life, MK finds herself not only questioning what she wants for her career but for her personal life as well…
Waiting For Prince Harry
written by Aven Ellis
published by Aven Ellis
find it here: (affiliate links) Amazon, Book Depository, Goodreads
See my 5-star review here.
About the book: Twenty-four-year-old Kylie Reed has always been a rule follower. Organized and cautious to a fault, her dreams for life are often filed away for future use—when she has a house, when she meets her future husband, when she has been at her visual display job at a chic Dallas boutique longer…Kylie always has a reason for living her life in the future, not in the present, and not living her life to the fullest and reaching her dream of becoming a fashion designer.
The only exception to rules, of course, would be running away with Prince Harry—Kylie's ideal man. A hot, fun ginger boy would be worth breaking all the rules for, of course. And Kylie is sure Harry just needs the right, centering woman to settle him down. But living in Dallas and not knowing Prince Harry make this a non-option.
Or does it?
Because when Kylie accidentally falls into the lap of a gorgeous ginger boy—yes, even more gorgeous than the real Prince Harry—all bets are off. Could this stranger be the one to show Kylie how to take a chance, to face her fears, and live in the present? And could this stranger be the Prince Harry she has been waiting for? Kylie's life takes some unexpected twists and turns thanks to this chance encounter, and she knows her life will never be the same because of it…

3次元非定常熱伝導解析のための境界要素法を用いた直接法解析コードの開発 Development of Numerical Codes by Direct Boundary Integral Method for Three-dimensional Non-steady Heat Conduction
Final purpose of this study is to develop a subsystem which constructs three-dimensional numerical system in order to contribute to predictive calculation of output and life of Hot Dry Rock geothermal energy generation. The authors have developed the two kind of the systems for 3D non-steady heat conduction by the direct boundary element methods, the TIME INTEGRAL method and the STEP WISE method. They have carried out numerical calculations by using the system developed and have shown applicability of the system, especially in aiming to high precision and high speed computation. In this report, the outline of the unique procedure of the numerical system developed by the authors is described first, the calculated results on heat conduction in a sphere solid is compared with the corresponding strict solution and accuracy of numerical solution is demonstrated next. Finally, the strict solution of heat conduction in infinite medium around a spherical cavity is originally presented and the numerical solution of it is compared with the strict solution.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - File them with the power suits and American flag pins. These days it seems as if every presidential wannabe has to pen a campaign book.
Whether it's before an official announcement to run, during the race itself, or in the period between working for one office and switching to another, a hardcover bearing a politician's name is a growing status symbol among presidential hopefuls and everything from the timing of the release, to the topic, to the title is strategic.

With all the flaws and issues of GAG, I find it's positive points still outweight its negative points. As a former yahoo answers person, I can say this site is still a ton better. I like the format better than many forum sites I've seen as well.
Not a big fan of the recent update (s), but it still is better than other places I've seen. I'd say GAG is still worthy enough for me to 'precious' devote my time to. (Wow that sounded incredibly pretentious :O)
There are some people that put in effort for their opinions and really do want to help people out. From that, it really helps me out. If I ever have a question about something with relationships and whatnot, I can just ask GAG and feel I'll get a quality response. I've also made friendships on here.
I like it.11|00|0

In JavaScript, when you want to put a variable inside of a string, it's a pain in the ass because you have to stop your string, concatenate on the variable, and then open your string again and keep going.
var name = 'Snickers';
var age = 2;
var sentence = 'My dog ' + name + ' is ' + age * 7 + ' years old.';
Most other programming languages have the ability to just drop your variables right inside of a string and interpolate it, but until now JavaScript hasn't had this.
What ends up happening is you forget one of your closing quotes, and you get an error and it tells you it's on line 3. You say "Of course it's on line 3, but I don't know where it is!"
We can fix all of that with what's called template strings, or template literals in ES6. In JavaScript we have double quotes and single quotes to make a string. Now we have a third way to make a string, and that is with back-ticks, which I've been using in most of my examples so far.
Let's take the above code. How do we convert it to ES6 template strings? We switch to using back ticks and then use the
${} syntax inside those strings!
const name = 'Snickers';
const age = 2;
const sentence = `My dog ${name} is ${age * 7} years old.'`;
That is going to pop in, or interpolate, the
name and
age variables that we previously had set there by using $, curly brackets and the variable name.
You can also run JavaScript straight away inside of these curly brackets, too. You can add in a variable, you can run a function, you can run any JavaScript inside of the curly brackets — including more template strings, but we will talk more about that later.
I'm calculating the age in dog years right inside of
sentence by using
${age * 7}, so our
console.log will just show a regular sentence,
My dog Snickers is 14 years old.
That's a very basic overview of template strings. However there's quite a bit more that we can do with them. It can be very handy other than just being able to stick variables inside of it — see you in the next one!

My first real Murican burger at Burger Joint SFO
If I may, let me give you advice from someone who loves food, whose mom was a chef, but who tries very hard not to be a snobby culinary asshole:
Fuck Mcdonalds, Burger King, KFC, Taco Bell, Wendy's, and their tier of fast food (for your purposes). They have their place as a very quick and cheap option for high calories– I eat it occasionally when I'm roadtripping or just need some food in my belly. None of them should be on your list of foods to eat in America. The vast majority of cities you visit will have local burger joints and mexican food places that will serve you delicious food for not much more than those lowest-denominator chain restaurants.
Depending on where you go, there will be regional or local food items you should definitely try. Cheesesteak in Philadelphia, Hot Dog in Chicago, BBQ in the south, Mexican in California/Southwest. What's on your list?
brusswszech December 21, 2016
Look up Gotham Sauce Co and go under recipes. Make yourself a double "perfect burger". Trust me, it's better than any burger I've ever had and I've been to every burger joint in America I've ever wanted to go to, except for the Heart Attack Grill in Vegas, which remains at the top of my list.
MeghannBoardman December 21, 2016
There are often regional chains that are better though. Like Freebird's or Mission in Texas, and Illegal Pete's in Colorado.
DavisGroce December 20, 2016
If you come to Texas, go to Whataburger. You will not be disappointed.
Haizden December 19, 2016
Best taco place near me is in a Shell gas station. Love it.
milonekilone4 December 17, 2016
The fries aren't just drier, they're poorly fried. I am the biggest In N Out fan you'll find, but their fries are just bad. Get them well done and animal style and it's tasty, but overall they're among the worst in fast food IMO.
Iss December 16, 2016
I mean, if you want an amazing burger…you're much better off finding an actual, awesome burger joint instead of fast food. If you're in Texas…I think the best fast food burgers are Whataburger. That's what all of our out of town (read: Californian) employees all want to eat when they come into town. However, there are so many more amazing places to get burgers in Austin than fast food places.
kolinmcrae December 15, 2016
Oh my goodness yes. I thought that shake shack was just a typical NYC hyped up food until one opened up here in DC and curiosity got the better of me. That shack stack might be one of the best burgers I've ever had in my life.
Chaiwor December 15, 2016
If you are in SF, Super Duper has good burgers too, wayy to good.
At the end of the day, I prefer GG5 Guys!
RomaMcray December 11, 2016
This. It's near the top of r/foodporn right now as I type this. Double Double – Animal Style. That is the answer to your question.
Nitanen December 9, 2016
Depending where you are on the west coast you can get Five Guys and In N Out in the same city, at least in AZ that's the case. Either way, enjoy your trip!
Ashend December 2, 2016
Glad to see In N Out and Five Guys are the first comment to this.
Zimmermann169 November 30, 2016
Love Little Luccas but the past couple times I've gone, it hasn't been nearly as good as before… garlic sauce still amazing, but they changed the dutch crunch bread (it's not even close) and the crab salad, plus toppings… all not good and flat. Tried it once more to see if it was a one off, but I'm so hurt I'm indefinitely boycotting 🙁

I am 1335 miles from Fargo and I can still feel the burn from here
walters1981 November 27, 2016
But if you're going to go to a chain, Five Guys is great. You can get like 20 toppings at no additional charge. Literally, a $5 burger with 20 toppings on it. Personally I don't like hamburgers very much (I love steak and roast beef, but ground beef tends to be poor quality 99% of the time), but I absolutely love Five Guys. I usually get a bacon cheeseburger with extra cheese and extra bacon (which count as toppings and are therefore free), grilled mushrooms, grilled onions, jalapenos, tomato, lettuce, mustard, pickles, and relish.
Now I'm hungry. Lunch isn't for another 3 hours. Ugh.
Daros November 26, 2016
You gotta hit In n out for sure if you are in California. Try Five guys too, they may have the 'topping' advantage but overall the double double is the best 'fast food' burger in the states.
PatriciaAcord November 24, 2016
Burger Joint at the new terminal at sfo is super solid.
Rac November 23, 2016
You should go to local places, NOT in and out or 5 guys. Any well reviewed American restaurant will generally do you right. For optimal results, find a restaurant that gets it's beef from a local ranch. Grass fed is hard to find but makes a big difference. If the burger patty isn't at least an inch thick, you're doing it wrong!
ArletteMaddix November 20, 2016
In n Out. Walk up to the counter and say you want a Double Double, Animal Style. You'll want that with fries, also Animal Style.
Emn November 18, 2016
Five Guys is phenomenal… it will wreck your gut, but it is absolutely worth it. If you hit up the east coast at all and are in NYC, go to Shake Shack.
fogleodelia November 16, 2016
If you want a full on diabeetus burger go to a Hardees, also known as Carl's Junior.

If you're ever in Fargo I'd recommend firing your travel agent OP

Upvote for Fuddruckers. You get a burger (or I prefer the hot dogs) from there, you're out for the rest of the day. Grease is the main ingredient in everything they make

If you come to los angeles I highly recommend Umami burger http://www.umami.com/umami-burger/

If you want just a standard, $10 American Burger, go to a Red Robin. It's pretty standard and Red Robins are *everywhere*.
Lucessinger98 November 4, 2016
Interesting. As an American, I've always found the fast food to be far better outside of the US. KFC in particular is much better in the UK IMO.
Free refills on sodas are standard here at fast food restaurants. I'm always amused by the fact that Nando's self serve soda fountain is considered a novelty over there!
CatharineDorrance November 1, 2016
Thanks for expressing interest in my homeland's delicious food. I recommend Five Guys, they are the pinnacle of American burger in my opinion. Also, please visit some of the BBQ places in the states, and be sure to try local microbreweries. We have great beer here, you just need to look for it.
ornbakerset2 October 21, 2016
Jesus christ, 5$?
A big mac (only a big mac, nothing else) is 5$ here..
You make me hungry too. Dinner in 3 hours in my timezone. Damn.
Tanenth October 15, 2016
They're touted as the best $5 burger but are really about $8. Especially if you get bacon which is not free like the guy above claimed. The bacon cheeseburger is a different menu item from the cheeseburger or regular burger. However, doubling the bacon once you already ordered a bacon cheeseburger could be free, I never go that route though.
Queighty October 12, 2016
Are the burgers you eat less than an inch in diameter? And why do you want it cooked through? Medium/medium-rare is the way to go.
ShellieFiles October 1, 2016
If you want a real good burger, try to find the places the locals go, if they know burgers it wont be a chain
Sayeche September 27, 2016
Just make sure you clear out your evening and possibly part of the next morning for the inevitable "blowout".
EloyVanostrand September 23, 2016
And let's be real, a small fry is more than enough for 2 people. They give up a tiny little cup, fill it up full of fries, and then fill up the entire fucking bag with more fries.
CarlGuerrier September 20, 2016
Do you have Chipolte? If you don't, their burrito's are amazing.
kolinmcrae September 19, 2016
in-n-out is super cheap. but is the best burger your gonna get for its price on the west coast! highly recommend
PatriciaAcord September 19, 2016
If you end up in pico rivera (suburb) for whatever reason, you should hit up Jims burger and get the "dui fries". Chili cheese fries with carne asada and pastrami all over it. Oh god
Aselme September 18, 2016
Are you staying in SF or is this just a layover? If you're staying, go to Sam's in North Beach. There is no other burger like it, I've toured America eating burgers and they're still the best. Especially in the evening or night when it's packed with locals for the full experience.
Are you still here? Go already! They deep fry their bacon!!
Kimskel September 17, 2016
The best burgers really won't be chains, and I don't mean to say that in a snobby way. If you make it to the easy coast and come to Baltimore- check out Abbey Burger in Fed Hill.
Edit- that's right, the easy coast. Not the east coast.
Yonys September 12, 2016
Vegas has the heart attack grill. If you've never heard of it look it up. Pretty sure someone has actually had a heart attack there and if you're lucky enough to be over 350 lbs you eat free.

garza77 September 6, 2016
If you go to Texas, hit up Whataburger. Nothing else compares.
Ceribo September 5, 2016
Where are you going?
I would also try Chipotle Burrito if you have a chance
tauskny August 31, 2016
Equally heart clogging as the standard fries, but exponentially more delicious.
Ustche August 31, 2016
Five Guys and In-N-Out are completely different from one another. Five Guys is much more expensive, the fries are longer, thicker, and greasier, and they have tons of topping choices. In-N-Out is cheaper, with short, "drier" fries, and very limited topping choices. The burgers and the presentations (tray vs. brown paper bag) are different. The only commonality is that they are both burger joints, but the similarities end there.
LucienneDewees August 30, 2016
Fatburger or Nations, Fudruckers if you're adventurous. Those are all chains though, I'm sure you could find some food network worthy ones to shove your face into if you visit any big city.
Eldoq August 28, 2016
> Where can I get the best and most "american" burger? I mean a big, diabetic "im going to die from this burger alone" style. (I mean this in a good way, it has to be awesome)
To be honest, pass on all the fast food places. If what you want is a real, delicious burger go to a restaurant. If they serve "Americana" they will almost certainly have burgers. And not just the typical setup. You will get so many varieties you're head will spin.
Ensulard August 25, 2016
Inch thick burgers? That's not even a burger anymore. Might as well order a plate of ground beef with a side of bread and lettuce.
rowles09 August 24, 2016
I was about to suggest this.
Whataburger is what you're really asking about.
Titus16 August 21, 2016
And you must eat them with ketchup + malt vinegar (which they have there)
rowles09 August 19, 2016
Free refills on your drink at all Five Guys locations.
Ashend August 19, 2016
Oh god, the cajun fries mixed with malt vinegar.. the vinegar gets all full of the seasoning..
Oasi August 18, 2016
I personally love Red Robin (Trying to think of a place with delicious burgers that would be available wherever you go)
They have a bunch of different great burgers, and all you can eat fries. Can't get more American than that.
WendellAhmad August 16, 2016
Shake Shack on the East Coast when you get the chance.
Also, I highly recommend any mom and pop pizzeria in New York Metro area.
rowles09 August 12, 2016
Yeah, an order of fries comes with 3 extra complimentary orders of fries it seems, heh.
EunaCalifano August 8, 2016
When you eat alone it's crappy. They did recently add a smaller size though =]
Belacha August 6, 2016
If you're going to the west coast, are you going through SFO? If you want the best Taco Bell experience I would suggest going to the most famous Taco Bell in the world in [Pacifica](https://email@example.com,-122.5031744,19z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x808f7a9cca40694b:0x1f4f672b1a9eb1f7), about 20 mins away from SF. It is on the beach and you can eat your Taco Bell and enjoy a west coast sunset.
Inest August 4, 2016
This is the law of the land in South Florida for sure. If there aren't cheap plastic lawn chairs as the only chairs it's probably not going to be authentic, delicious Mexican. Shady food trucks are also a staple.
Isquaugh August 3, 2016
Holy God. Give me 4 beers and a joint and TAKE MY MONEY!!!

I just never see five guys as fast food. I think their burgers are better are five guys but they're cheaper and faster and in n out. They're just two different markets in my opinion.
Tonser July 19, 2016
If you can hit up a Culver's, go for it. Their burgers are tasty.
osade July 16, 2016
Brew-Bachers has the best damn fried mushrooms. Also, Raul's has a really great burger.
Schiat July 9, 2016
This is really going to depend on the area that you visit. If you look on yelp.com, the diners, drive inns and dives website and even the subreddit of the city you visit you'll be able to come up with a couple of really good options for burger places.
And of course, if you stop in Chicago the obvious answer is Kuma's.
Ightcer June 28, 2016
I agree. Burgers should be wider than they are tall, and you should be able to actually fit it inside your mouth so you can get a bite of all the burger at once. An inch thick burger, once you add the bun and toppings, is going to be one of those "burger tower" monstrosities that all the hip kids these days are eating, and I hate those.
Also, a burger that's an inch thick is going to have an obscene cooking time. You want the patties somewhat thin so they can cook all the way through relatively quickly. This keeps the meat juicy. An inch thick burger is going to have a charred outside and a dry inside from cooking too long. If you want extra meat add more patties, there's a reason hamburger patties are shaped the way they are.
mcnabb June 27, 2016
I would also try the oldest 'Bob's Big Boy' located at: 4211 Riverside Drive in Burbank CA, simply for the historical factor.
PatriciaAcord June 25, 2016
Like renata said, ask the locals where the best burgers are. There are usually several restaurants around that pride themselves on a good burger…often they'll be some kind of sandwich place.
CatharineDorrance June 22, 2016
I feel like I may anger people here because of the cult-like following that Five Guys and In-n-Out has, but if you're not on the East Coast any Hardees or Carl's Jr (they're the same thing) will have some burgers that are comparable to Five Guys or In-n-Out. I would recommend them if you're really looking for a decent fast food burger.
Or if you happen to be in the Midwest, try a Culver's burger.
Yonys June 19, 2016
Make sure that you get the grilled onions on it, too. There's nothing that compares to an In-n-Out burger. Five Guys burgers taste like the patties were frozen.
Cheann June 11, 2016
find a friend and ask him to make you a fresh burger on the grill. cheddar cheese
Phois June 9, 2016
Depending on where they plan on travelling Heart Attack Grill seems like exactly what they want.
Ludser June 8, 2016
Burger Joint is still my favorite part of flying into/out of SFO. You made a solid first choice.
Daros June 6, 2016
True. We also have In-N-Out here in Dallas, but let's be honest: In-N-Out belongs to California. Whataburger belongs to Texas.
LeolaBou June 4, 2016
If you ever land in SFO, it's a few exits away from Little Luccas in San Bruno off Westborough exit on the 280. It's not a burger joint, but a deli. They make some "I'm going to die from this sandwich alone" type sandwich. Bomb as hell!
DonnieHeinlein June 3, 2016
SFO – airport burger?
Actually looks pretty decent as far as these things go.
Lucessinger98 June 2, 2016
In and out. Always In and Out. I recommend a double double, some people will try and convince you to get it animal style but don't listen to them. In my opinion animal style is too salty and takes away from the flavor. With it get fries and ask for them to be cooked well, they'll know what you mean.
Ashend May 23, 2016
Makes me want to stand up and sing the National Anthem.
Nyest May 22, 2016
I heard about In-n-Out for years and finally was able to try it last year. The flavor is nowhere near the quality of Five Guys. I was really disappointed.
Yuania May 11, 2016
IN N OUT. if you do ANYTHING on the west coast, do yourself the biggest favor of your life and get In n Out. You will not regret it.
Rel May 10, 2016
Try out some of the local favorites too. In my opinion, they are usually better than National chains.
Kimny April 30, 2016
The fries are worth it though… To save a bit of money, if I go with someone I like, we share a drink. Ha.
Tiaeld April 28, 2016
Culver's has the best fast food burgers out there. You have to be round the midwest and specifically Wisconsin though.
Orpsam April 28, 2016
The fries and drink are another 5, that's how they get you. =p
Dokeg April 26, 2016
The fries at Five Guys are ENORMOUS. You only need a regular and can split that with two people.
Emn April 24, 2016
Five guys. Also, just look up on Internet best burger places in whatever area you go to.
Fast food burgers aren't that good.

Oh god Kuma's.
I are there a few months ago on a business trip to Chicago.
My life has not been the same since.

J.L. Beers blows 5 guys and….dare I say it….even in-n-out totally out of the water (with the exception of animal style fries)

I had that for the first time in JFK before I flew to Dublin for a semester abroad. Holy shit.
Titus16 April 7, 2016
i've been there twice and never had a good burger. i have a friend who LOVES that place and visits when he's in Texas.
Cheann April 4, 2016
I had it like 2 weeks ago. It was even better than the last time I had it which was like a year ago when I left the country. It was even bigger than I remembered it. So I was so happy to eat it. I always get the Tri Tip Special, but I'm gonna try the other ones next time.
Yonys March 27, 2016
Gotta go with the cajun fries where you can get them. Heart clogging goodness everywhere…
Ludser March 19, 2016
Man you have to make it to the south and just find what is called "mom and pop" style restaurant. Usually they look old and run down but the food is phenomenal. Also, if you are in the south you must eat BBQ. And again, the older the building looks, the better. Man I'm getting hungry right now.
Iceru March 15, 2016
Fast food prices in major cities in the US are higher than in the smaller cities/suburbs, but from my experience they are still less expensive than major European city prices.
Ongha March 15, 2016
That would depend on were you go in 'merica I live in California and i would say go to In n Out and 5 guys. In n out has a great expansive secret menu and i personally like to get a 4×4 from there which is 4 patties and 4 slices of cheese. 5 guys is basically a lesser version of In n Out but is still good.
christianson44 March 10, 2016
We have a Hardees but no Five Guys in my town. I've never been to Harvey's but live five guys, are they really comparable? What should I order from there
Esstiaing March 9, 2016
In n Out and Five Guys is much more than a "West Coast vs the rest of the US thing". As a West Coaster, I am very fond of In n Out, but there are some times when I'm just craving a hearty Five Guy burger. They are two completely different types of burgers.
However I 2nd your point about asking a local. When it comes to burgers, every city has their own "World's Best Burger!"
tauskny March 8, 2016
If you hit up some greasy spoon diner get a bacon cheeseburger with an egg over easy on it. The yolk drains into the burger when you break it and gives you some awesome goo of beef, egg yolk, melted cheese, and bacon.
Oughumde March 8, 2016
I'm not a fan of tomatoes on burgers either. I don't understand frying meat until it is crispy and then pairing it with something that is so similar to a slice of watermelon.
tauskny March 8, 2016
The cup is a vestigial organ, like the hind legs of a whale.

One word (that is technically three words). Whataburger.
Ybele February 15, 2016
This looks delicious. The melted cheese, double patty, crisp bacon… sigh.
Nyem February 10, 2016
I've had good tomatoes before. They do taste marginally better than the pinkish-red flavorless things…its true. I just don't think the flavor enhances burgers much for the damage they cause to every other component I enjoy about burgers. They make the bun, lettuce, and patty exterior soggy, and dilute the flavor of any seasoning or char / sear that has developed.
I could see them being pretty good when using a small crusty french bread boule as a bun and chopping the tomatoes up with onions and some balsamic vinegar (and maybe some finely shredded hard cheese and minced garlic) so that they soak into the bread and purposefully soften and flavor the interior…but at that point with those flavorings you might as well make a chicken sandwich instead of a burger…or nix the meat and just make bruschetta.
Dotuton February 8, 2016
I know they didn't have them in Australia. My brother lived over there for a while and he loved Chipotle so we would always get him one on the ride back from the airport when he would come back for Christmas.
Rynepi January 31, 2016
Diners man. Always diners. Ask around for the favorite in the area and you will usually get amazing home style American food with great service
Lavonne1 January 31, 2016
Fatburger is about as big as they come. I think they're all up and down the west coast, but only know they're in Washington for sure. 5 guys is everywhere now and very good as well.
rowles09 January 26, 2016
As a Murcian with international friends that made the same mistake. If you want an amazing American burger. YOU DONT GO TO FAST FOOD and you do not order well done. You go to a local pub with a good reputation and end up looking like my jockey friend… http://imgur.com/DzmAFM4
Sadys January 25, 2016
When you come back, go to Au Cheval. Get the single with a fried egg and bacon(aka fried hunk of pork belly). It's much simpler than a Kumas burger but it's my personal favorite.

There are a lot of good, specific recommendations by people in this thread. It can probably seem pretty confusing! I think the simplest answer you should know is,
*You can a big, diabetic, "I'm going to die from this burger alone" hamburger* **anywhere**.
Seriously, you can eat a hamburger and literally almost any place you go to in America. You can get a simple, cheap, awesome burger at a small diner in a tiny town, or a gourmet burger in a big city. You can burgers almost anywhere. They are ubiquitous.
Wherever you go in the US, just search Google for, "best burger *cityname*." You'll find a good place.
LeotaBerkeley January 16, 2016
oh yeah. I've never left Five Guys hungry. You finish that huge delicious burger then have a grocery bag full of fries to eat. The worst is getting it on the road, you start pickin at the fries on the way home, they dont run out, and suddenly you gotta eat the fuckin burger. I like it though. Good ol' fashioned American excess.
ThuBocanegra January 10, 2016
Truth. Being from Texas I went up to Dallas and had In N Out, It just wasn't Whataburger.
Rynepi January 9, 2016
This applies to Mexican food as well. The more dilapidated it looks, the better the food.
Uskunte January 8, 2016
Also, if you happen to find yourself near the capital, Ray's Hell Burger is a quick metro ride away in Virginia, and could easily do the trick with their medium-rare ten ouncers.
Alternatively, if you happen to be near one, Shake Shack never fails to tastily clog some arteries.
Iaor January 8, 2016
Tomatoes are one of my favorite topping on burgers and sandwiches 🙁
ShellieFiles January 5, 2016
In-n-out, order 4×4 burger (4 meat patties, 4 pieces of cheese) animal sytle, and animal style fries. If you dot regret your life a few hours after eating that then you might just be american
Brivestas January 2, 2016
If you're going to San Francisco…Here's some restaurants with amazing burgers:
Monk's Kettle
Liverpool Lil's
There's a good range of burgers and restaurant styles among those.
DavisGroce January 2, 2016
You've obviously never had a good tomato. Most people haven't, understandable. Grow your own (easy) or get some from a farmer's market. The flavorless pinkish-red things most grocery stores and restaurants have are terrible terrible lies people falsely call 'tomato'. There is nothing as delicious and a homemade hamburger right off the grill with a thick slice of a homegrown tomato.
Titus16 January 1, 2016
You don't have to go to international fast food franchises to get high-quality but still inexpensive burgers. (Paying $20 for a Guava Burger at some upscale restaurant with tablecloths is not the way the game is played.) In my experience, the best burgers come from local, one-of-a-kind joints and small-scale chains. E.g., if you're here in Baton Rouge, I can highly recommend the burgers at [Brew-Bachers,](http://www.brewbachersgrill.com/) of which there are maybe a half-dozen locations in the area. Onion rings, too. And the Chicken Fried Steak sandwich, for that matter.
And when I'm visiting one of my kids in Pittsburgh, we generally go to [Burgatory](http://www.burgatorybar.com/). Great burgers of a distinctly non-Southern type.
Every town of any size in the U.S. seems to have places like this. You just have to ask around.
Rel December 30, 2015
I also recommend looking up a place that isn't a chain depending on where you visit. There are the inevitable "local gems" in each respective state, and personally, I much rather prefer them over chains. It doesn't have to be a burger joint either, there are bistros and some "cafes" with amazing burgers.
Although I've never had in-and-out, I hear it's amazing.
But going against the grain, I don't really like five guys that much, every burger I've gotten from there has tasted good, but they usually *feel* like your eating a grease blob, in a bad way. And I'm not normally one to care about how bad food is for me lol.
Imale December 29, 2015
Find a hole-in-the-wall place where you'll be traveling to. Places like Five Guys and In-n-out are great, but nothing really beats a good local burger.
Belacha December 26, 2015
I can't defend them, although the devices they use to cut them are cool, and they're all natural. But yeah, their flavor, or lack thereof, leaves a lot to be desired. Going "off menu" for animal style is essential. Five Guys's fries OTOH….
christianson44 December 23, 2015
Get the fast food, get sick, then go somewhere serving actual food. Contrary to popular belief, the food here is amazing. If you can't afford Michelin star type joints, being a student and all, there is a ton of great cheap food around. I'd say look up good Mexican as a starter. You can't get decent Mexican in Europe. Yelp may be a cesspool of douchebags, but it can really help you out in a city you're unfamiliar with.

Rodyn December 13, 2015
Definitely Five Guys if you can. Their fries are off the charts too. If you're in the midwest, can't go wrong with a Steak n Shake
Daros December 13, 2015
I didn't see it mentioned in the comments that loaded, but for me, the best burgers are the ones off the grill at a friend's cookout…doesn't matter if they mixed the meat themselves or got pre-made patties or whatever. The flavor is "enhanced" with the experience of hanging out in someone's backyard with a beer in one hand and a burger in the other and just sitting in the nice weather and talking about whatever.
That said, if you are talking about restaurants, I think it's worth going to both "hole in the wall" places that are well-reviewed in the city you'll be in, as well as chain places like In-n-Out if you're out west.
osade December 10, 2015
Yeah, I think the main issue is just that: good fries aren't 'fresh' – best to soak them or chill them for a while, and double fry them. In N Out does neither: cuts a potato and throws it in the fryer.
Rodyn December 8, 2015
Whataburger isn't just in Texas (I've been to one in the Florida panhandle), but they're certainly not everywhere. But yes, good fast food burger and damn good breakfast chicken biscuit.

I've been to the US once a couple of years ago (NYC) and I didn't so much enjoy the fast food over there when I take into account the diners and 'independent' places, but the fast food over there is far superior to that I've had in England. Foreigners complain about English food because the food they know back home is absolutely shocking here.
I went to McDonalds, Wendies, Dunkin Donuts, KFC and Burger King and my favourite was Wendies. It reminds me of Wimpy Burger but the portion sizes were massive and pretty cheap. A few places offered free refills too on your drinks.
I'm going back in 6 weeks and I can't wait to try me some more American Fast Food! We're trying some of the locations featured on Man v Food as they looked pretty decent.
Queighty November 28, 2015
[Not really](http://www.cnn.com/2011/HEALTH/03/29/grass.grain.beef.cookinglight/).
Blind taste tests showed no preference for taste between grass fed and grain-finished beef, but grass fed is noticeably chewier and less tender unless carefully prepared. I'd rather have the stoned 18 year old kid cooking my burger be using something a little more forgiving so that I don't get a hockey puck on a bun.
Endvesa November 24, 2015
I know you are focusing on burgers, but I recommend Chipotle if you haven't tried it. You only need 1 burrito and you should be good for the rest of the day.
Yonys November 24, 2015
I have had many fine burgers in many places in this great nation, but surprisingly, I have found Salt Lake City to be a burger mecca of sorts. Crown Burger, Apollo Burger, Hires Big H, and many more solid local fast food eateries can be found there. I think due to the high Mormon population, the town is a bit stuck in the past food wise, and this has led to a high proportion of old school, diner style fast food joints, all of which have incredible burgers. Plus they have In-n-Out, Five Guys, Culvers, and other national favorites.
GastonCoit November 20, 2015
if you make it to las vegas you can go to heart attack grill
Belacha November 20, 2015
The best places are almost always going to be hole-in-the-wall dives. Places you would completely walk past going "There's no way that building makes code." Dives are just more fun in general. Way better than the sterile and plastic atmosphere of something like TGI Fridays.
Asking a local or bartender will probably be the best way to find one of those. If you can't find one that way then your best fast food options are going to be Five Guys, Shake Shack, or even Hwy 55 Burgers. Those are easily my top 3 'fast food' burger places in the US.
Every town has the preferred burger joint. The unofficial rule is if the shit hole is just a possessive name you're probably in a good spot.
MeghannBoardman November 14, 2015
If you are in the Southwest, make sure and try Whataburger. Aside from novelty burgers like Green Chili, A-1 Thick 'n Hearty, they are amongst the best chain burgers. Five Guys and In-n-Out, of course. Those are west coast classics

No tomato (that I can see). I like that in a burger.

For the love of God get to Minnesota and find yourself a JUICY LUCY! I have to clear my schedule after I eat one just so I can recover.

Question from a European:
I am going to visit the US whenever I get the money (still a student).
American fastfood is also on my bucket list when I'm there. I expect to visit the west-coast first.
Fastfood in Europe I have visited: Mcdonalds, Burger King, KFC and Quick.
Where can I get the best and most "american" burger? I mean a big, diabetic "im going to die from this burger alone" style. (I mean this in a good way, it has to be awesome)
Taco bell is also on the list, but that's a different kind.

It depends where you go, if you come to texas, check out what a burger, it a fast food place, and the A1 thick and hardy is one of the best burgers ever.
GastonCoit October 11, 2015
If you are headed to my beautiful California, you have to eat burgers at Inn and Out, and burritos from a Mexican taco shop as close to the border as you can, preferably somewhere in San Diego. You may never leave once you figure out it's the best place on Earth.
Ightcer October 7, 2015
I've trained myself to stop after like 4 fries, then get to business with the burger. I'll pull over the damn car and eat it on the side of the road if I have to.

If you ever visit the east coast find a Shake Shack.

Chapter 25-Goodbyes
Bruce watched over Jade the next few hours. It was bad, he knew…she should be at a hospital. She needed blood, stitches…he just didn't have that available. He was surprised when she started to wake up.
"Hey, there you are…" he whispered, putting a hand to her forehead and moving her hair back.
Jade didn't speak as she waited for her mind to clear. She felt drained, weak and sore. "Bruce…what…what happened?"
Bruce swallowed, "Batman followed you, Jade."
Jade was already pale, but color flushed to her cheeks, "What?"
"I…I know what happened to you."
"Oh, god," she groaned, moving to sit up.
"Don't, don't!" Bruce said, trying to get her to lay down. She shoved him away with more strength than he imagined she could possess and sent him stumbling backwards. "Jade…why didn't you tell me?"
"Bruce, you know nothing…I…I have to get out of Gotham. What time is it?"
Bruce went to help her stand up, "It's almost dawn. You don't have to go anywhere. The police have taken others into custody already. Jade…Jade, stop it!"
Bruce tried to prevent her from walking out the bedroom door, but she pulled her arm out of his grasp. "Bruce, I have to go," she said in a raspy voice. "You can't be seen with me!"
Bruce kept speed with her, "Jade, you can't just leave me like this!" Bruce ran to get in front of her and blocked her way to the stairs.
"Bruce…" Jade said softly, looking into his eyes.
"I told you! You are not welcome here!" Alfred shouted, and they heard footsteps.
Bruce and Jade both turned to look over the foyer, and saw Klaus appear, with Alfred right behind him. Klaus saw her at the top of the steps, "Jade, dear…we need to go…and now."
"She isn't leaving," Bruce answered.
"Yes, I am." Jade said, putting her hand on Bruce's shoulder so he would look at her. "Bruce…I'm so sorry…I never wanted you to know…to get involved."
"A little late for that," Bruce said. "Jade, I love you…"
Jade closed her eyes, and pulled Bruce into a hug, burying her face in his bare shoulder. "I love you, too, Bruce…but I can't stay here. I have to lead them out of Gotham…away from you."
"Yes. If we don't find the man responsible, more will come. More will be made." Jade took a shaky breath, "I'll come back…I promise I'll come back."
"You already got hurt, Jade…"
"Don't worry about me, please don't…just know….I'll come back," she promised once again.
"How will I know you are alright?" Bruce asked.
Jade pulled away from him and looked at him with sad eyes, "You won't."
She walked down the stairs, and walked out the door with Klaus.
"Jade Walters was once again attacked at her boyfriend Bruce Wayne's home just hours after her fashion show. The series of attacks at her chain of Marie-Clairie stores, a vandalism of her apartment, and a personal attack on her at her home all within the past few months has driven the former-actress, humanitarian, and entrepreneur into hiding. Investigations lead to the possibility of a foreign crime lord getting revenge on her efforts to end slavery and child labor in multiple foreign countries that thrive on the cheap labor. In other news a group of mercenaries were apprehended by Batman in Gotham City warehouse district. These soldiers had been genetically altered to be super-beings capable of great physical capabilities and extremely dangerous. There is no word what these mercenaries were doing in Gotham and if there are more of them to be found."
Bruce shut off the television. It had only been a few days, but it felt as if it had been months. Jade felt like a memory, like a dream. He went over it in his mind, trying to find something he could have done to change the outcome. His adversary, Panther, and his love, Jade…were one in the same. He had found a woman perfect for him…of course it had to be the woman with just as many issues as he had.
And here ends this sad love story. Bruce continuing his protection of Gotham under Batman's mask, adding his loss of Jade in the rage that fuels him to keep going.
***I'd really appreciate reviews and thank everyone for adding the story to their favorites. I have a few ideas to make a sequel playing around in my head, posting this gave me a few thoughts but I would want to add a lot more characters from Batman if I did do another...so it's not coming along as quickly as I like. But this story is now complete. Again, thank you for reading and I'd appreciate if you left me a review and told me what you thought.***

Go fuck 10 girls, they laughed. Then we'll see what you say.
Of course… Pussy. The magic solution for everything.
Go fuck 10 girls, they commanded. And I did. They were in their early twenties. Brunettes, blondes. Some of them objectively hotter than my ex. I met them at bars and on Tinder. Got a few numbers at grocery stores along the way. Probably kissed 40 different chicks in a few months.
Go fuck 10 girls, they urged. And all your problems will be solved…
Except nothing changed.
I was lying in bed in Miami next to a 21-year-old Cuban girl with a goofy foreign name. She had that funny accent they have, that just comes out on certain words like when they say "L" sounds. We had met earlier that night, our first date after matching on Tinder a few days before.
It was 3 AM, and she was laughing because her stepdad kept calling her to try to find out where she was. I imagined maybe he was secretly into her, and jealous she was out with a guy. It turned me on, so I rolled over and fucked her again, imagining her stepdad banging on the door trying to stop us, or hugging her when she got home with a sad, hidden erection.
She started screaming like some kind of Latin stereotype. "Ay papi," that kind of shit. I don't know exactly– I don't speak Spanish. I had to say no hablo more times in Miami than I could keep track of. Thankfully no one shot me.
So she was waking up my neighbors, and I was pulling her hair and giving it to her pretty good. Then she started digging her nails into my back. It's happened before, but not like this. This was deep. I almost stopped. It fucking hurt.
But it kind of pissed me off, too. So I started fucking her harder. She got even more into it. "Son of a bitch!" I thought. "What if that was her plan all along?" Then I got angry that she was manipulating me like some kind of giant sex toy for her own selfish pleasure, so I fucked her even harder.
She came. I came. I stood up and my back was bleeding.
There is no greater gulf than that between a man before and after his orgasm. A second earlier, I had been some kind of demonic beast– thrashing, slapping, choking with the fury of Hell. Now I looked at the worst scratch in the mirror and felt like a sad little kid. But I didn't let on.
"The fuck is this shit?" I queried.
She smiled. "I'm a happy camper," she said.
I went to the bathroom to flush the condom, and took a minute to wash up. I put a towel on the scratches. They burned. I figured I'd put some peroxide on them later. First I had to drive this bitch back to her car, about 20 minutes away. Thankfully there wouldn't be much traffic at 3 AM.
We got back to the public lot where she parked, and her car was the only one there. I felt a deep sense of relief to finally be rid of her. There was nothing wrong with her, per se, but sometimes being around a stranger can make you feel pretty lonely. And I'm an introvert, so at a certain point, company has just outworn its welcome.
I pulled up next to her car. "Nice meeting you," I said with my trademark smirk. I brushed my hand against the hair on her forehead, traced it over her ear, and kissed her goodnight.
Her car was booted.
"Did you pay when you got here?" I asked.
"I thought you pay when you leave," she said.
Turns out she was wrong.
She called the tow company that was listed on the boot. "'Bout 45 minutes," the gruff, ethnic voice on the other end of the line replied.
We sat there for 2 hours. I almost bled out. She played Candy Crush on her phone, I caught up on my Twitter feed. We called the number back a few times, and they kept assuring us we were the "next stop" and the previous one had just run a little bit long.
At 5 AM the guy pulled in. She got out of the car to greet him. He had the boot off within 30 seconds. She paid him the $75, and we said goodnight again.
I got home and parked as the sun was rising over the Atlantic, a couple blocks away.
God damn, I thought, crawling into bed. Another night of this shit. What the fuck am I doing with my life?
It felt hollow. Why was it any different than jerking off? I could have just imagined fucking a 21-year-old Cuban chick with a goofy name, and still had the companionship of my ex.
These negative thoughts had been running through my head on a loop for months. Always centered around my ex. "You made a mistake…" they whispered. "You hurt the person who loved you the most. You'll never find someone else like her. You're going to be alone forever." In all my times of stress or exhaustion, the voices got louder. And I couldn't help but believe them most of the time.
It's interesting looking back, because I didn't have "Oneitis" while I was actually with her. I did try to talk myself into dating her in the first place, to an extent, because I had been so anti-relationship leading up to that point. So there was a process of pedestalization. "She's worth it, because she's different. She's not like all those other dumb bitches." It was true in some ways, but love is irrational and comes from a primal place. You can't talk yourself into being excited about it. So my mind, my heart, and my dick could never all agree. I shattered myself into multiple pieces trying to keep them all separate.
But the depression, the obsessed oneitis that I felt following the breakup– where did that come from? Even though I put her on a bit of a pedestal in my mind during the relationship, I never got obsessed with her while we were together. I was a leader, I was indifferent, I was unmovable. But as the whole thing came crashing down, something fell apart in me too. It was terminal oneitis.
This is a separate issue than normal, run-of-the-mill oneitis. This is what happens when you first meet a girl, or get taken-advantage-of while you are seeing her. These forms of oneitis can be dealt with by reminding yourself to stay emotionally detached, practicing good game (such as "The 16 Commandments of Poon"), and reminding yourself that she isn't completely unique and irreplaceable. But she's still there. This form of oneitis is born from a belief that she is "out of your league" or that you are inadequate to keep her.
Terminal oneitis is the version that develops after she's gone, and it can coexist even with a belief that you can get any girl you want. It's a form of idealization, a fear of being alone, and a deep obsession and regret about the past. It keeps you stuck in place, afraid to move forward. You go back to her in your thoughts constantly, because you believe your happiness is tied to her. She is your object; she is your drug. Even if that wasn't even the case while you were still, actually together. Suddenly, you believe everything could have been different, because you are so scared to actually let go of her.
I believe terminal oneitis is born of a deep-seated insecurity that some of us carry from a young age. Mine always seems to connect back to my parents' divorce in some way, of subconsciously identifying my situation with what I felt about my father back then, when he had to be "abandoned" in a new place and exiled from the family, while my mom moved on to new men. Regardless of exactly what causes it, terminal oneitis is brought on suddenly by the end of a relationship, even if the rest of the relationship had a perfectly balanced dynamic. And the circumstances around the breakup can exacerbate it.
Most of the time, the girl is going to find someone new before the guy after a breakup. She can literally trip over a guy who is willing to date her just by walking outside. It took my ex 2 days after moving to a new city to meet her next boyfriend– he literally lived next door– and now she's engaged to the guy 6 months later. Knowing that your ex has "moved on" so quickly can compound the negative feelings associated with terminal oneitis, and it will fuck with any man's ego and self-confidence.
I have a bad habit of wanting all of my thoughts and emotions to mean something. In my most fragile moments, I become fatalistic, believing that I'm doomed and that I would need a miracle to be saved by a better "destiny." It leads to romanticization of my ex, and also of the new girls who I do like. "Maybe this is meant to be, just like my ex knew right away that her new guy was the one she was supposed to be with!"
The only problem is, I don't really believe it works that way. Girls have the luxury of believing it's "fate" that they're supposed to be with someone, because 90% of the time, whatever guy they choose is going to just stick around and be grateful to have some pussy to call his own. If I meet a girl and believe she is the predestined "One," and start being too familiar, comfortable, or committed before she has sized me up and fallen deeply in lust, the whole thing crumbles into dust before my eyes.
Obsessively wanting your life to mean something is a form of suffering. There is no answer to this question, and you will just think yourself into oblivion. Conversely, being depressed that life is meaningless is a form of suffering. The key is to stop thinking about the issue of "meaning" altogether. Just keep doing stuff– pursue projects and adventures, find a way to contribute something to the world– and you'll feel better.
The cure for terminal oneitis is not a tangible one. It's not as simple as fucking 10 new girls, because if your mindset is in the wrong place, even positive new experiences make you feel worse. I sometimes felt guilty having sex with new girls, feeling like I was still betraying my ex. Or that I wasn't allowed to feel proud or happy that they were "hot," because it was shitty to my ex.
Like most guys following a breakup, I also got disheartened when I didn't feel the same "connection" I did with my ex. But if it was easy to have that kind of connection with a girl, it would be meaningless, and not at all special when you do find it. So it's a good thing this is the case, overall. Also, it's important to remember that when you meet new girls, you're comparing your first interactions with the endpoint of your last relationship, when you were at your most intimate and knew each other extremely well.
All that you can do when faced with terminal oneitis is to keep moving. Try to realize that your thoughts are not "real," but they are distractions meant to keep tearing you down. The more you can escape from all thoughts, clear your head, and focus on things that make you feel fulfilled, the sooner the voices will quiet. It's a gradual process, and yes, eventually, finding the "next girl" might help in this healing. But you must forgive yourself, and radically accept everything from your past. You must feel grateful for everything, because you got to experience the high highs (even with the lows), and it taught you so much and changed the course of your life.
If you are able to let go of all the irrational fear, you can regain a strong footing in yourself and the world around you, and soon you will be back on the winning path. But if you keep falling into the same patterns and do nothing to actively change it, then your terminal oneitis will truly be terminal. And there are wandering, lost souls out there who never got over a heartbreak, and decided to give up. There are nights when I've wanted to give up, so I can relate. And it's a sad phenomenon to see.
It's not so much "time" in and of itself that heals you from a breakup, or sleeping with new girls. Not to sound like a cheesy self-help magazine, but it is really about learning to love yourself again. Once you are able to truly love yourself again, to completely trust yourself and feel at ease with wherever life takes you, the stakes don't seem so high, life doesn't seem so scary. You can go out to a restaurant by yourself to eat a great meal again, without feeling like you're acting out some kind of pathetic tragedy. You get back in rhythm, one day at a time. It's a gradual process.There is nothing short of a lobotomy that can heal terminal oneitis overnight. But it's an active choice to regain the feeling of irrational self-confidence. If you act as if everything is okay, soon it will be.
Once you re-learn to love yourself, some girl can finally come along to ruin it all again. Just kidding.
But when you do find the next one and the one after that, you get to repeat the cycle over and over, hopefully learning a little bit and getting better each time. Terminal oneitis can be avoided altogether, once you have gained more mastery of yourself through having experienced it, and overcome it. Ideally, when you are able to observe and identify this automatic process your thoughts and emotions go through, you'll be able to minimize it and have a more seamless transition between relationships, or stages of life, in your future.

I have to tell you, it was hard to sit down and post today.
Check out our current weather:
Today I wanted to write a quick post about some annoying pests I found on my favorite chili pepper plant: aphids
I bought this plant from the farmer's market and it produced big spicy chilis throughout the summer.
The seller instructed me to bring it indoors once it started getting cold, so I put it in a large pot in the sunniest window I have. While it still produced some chilis at first, it quickly became clear that the plant was not nearly as happy as it had been while living outdoors. Around Christmas, it stopped producing entirely. Although the leaves were still intact, this was my first indication that I had a problem. Plants produce fruits and flowers when they have ample energy to feed them. When a plant is stressed, it will drop anything it can to conserve resources. This is the first lesson in pest management: a stressed plant is more susceptible to pests and disease.
I was watering plants the other day when I noticed that the pepper leaves looked like they had spots on them. A closer look revealed evidence of my new nemesis, the aphid.
Aphids feed on indoor and outdoor plants. When they eat the green matter from plants, they leave behind a sticky substance called 'honeydew' that coats leaves and stems. Here are the aphids on one of my leaves:
Here are the best steps for dealing with aphids:
- Before anything else, isolate the infected plant. It's very easy to spread infestation.
- First, try physically removing the bugs. Two easy approaches are with a fast hard stream of water or with a damp rag. (Be careful not to bruise the leaves or stems.)
- Monitor the plant. If bugs do return, try using soap. Dilute dish-washing soap with warm water so the soap is only 2-3% of the solution. After you've thoroughly cleaned the leaves of visible bugs, spray leaves top AND bottom with the soap solution. (If your plant is an edible one, be sure to rinse it before harvesting any food.)
- Keep the plant isolated until you are absolutely certain you have no more bugs.
- If you're interested in insecticides, you can read this publication. That said, I do not use them in my home or garden.
- Finally, know when to give up. It's possible that the plant was simply too stressed or the infestation too great for it to recover.
- Keep plants in their ideal growing conditions. If a plant isn't thriving, try moving it to a different location or adding extra lighting, especially in winter months. A stressed plant is far more likely to have disease and insect problems. It goes without saying that a plant that isn't intended to be grown indoors will be much more problematic.
- Water lightly and at regular intervals and maintain good drainage. Wetness is the perfect environment for molds and pests to thrive. Watch for signs like wilting or yellow leaves that indicate over watering.
- When you do water, check your plants closely for any problems or signs of weakness.
- Closely inspect new plants when you bring them home. It's very easy to bring disease or pests in with a new plant.
- Consider choosing pest and disease resistant varieties.

text: The original use of the word stellar was in relation to stars or astral bodies. It was a commonly used word to describe bodies of stars for instance 'stellar regions' would be full of stars. In more common language, it is now used to describe something that is worthy of star status. A stellar experience would be one that stands out in your mind as being as bright as a star. A stellar performance by a actress would be the same, something worthy of a label that is equal with the brightness of a star.
