Its a good idea but I still see people walking the malls here with high heels on, which is not necessary in any way shape or form. If you are wearing heels to work you can just pack another pair of shoes to walk the mall in on your break, they even have shoes that are specifically designed for this that you can fold up and put in your bag to swap out quickly.

Vans has a variety of products now some which have a lot of support. Also they seem to grip rainy and slippery surfaces very well even if they are the basic vans. I've tried them in slippery environments like amusement ride platforms in the rain and I have a bad ankle too which means I am definitely prone to falling in these environments but vans kept me from falling I did have to watch my feet when on a slippery amusement ride platform of course but the shoes did help.

These are ideal for running in a mall on the slippery floors etc.. They make special shoes for grip called the MTE line, I have 2 pairs of those now and they are insane, you literally can't fall in them.

You will get foot problems when you are older unless you are wearing higher quality supportive flip flops. Those do exist.

If you are wearing walmart or dollar store flip flops foot problems are coming for you, you don't want foot problems..

Intel motherboards have a 2 year lifecycle from what I understand before they change the socket size so you won't be getting processor upgrades unless you buy a new motherboard every 2 years. At this point you may as well be buying a whole new PC because you are going to have to buy new ram because by the time you want to upgrade there will be something faster than DDR 5 plus a new GPU and the ram you have from your old PC probably won't be compatible with the new motherboard. Now if you want to upgrade your GPU every 2 years, just the GPU, that is likely doable but you will need to make sure you have enough watts in your power supply for that to work.

If you are gaming you may as well go AMD, the motherboards have a lot longer of a lifecycle from what I hear.

I live in WNY. Buffalo and WNY in general do not know how to clean up snow, and it will not change. I don't suggest living here if you are elderly, handicapped, or have some other kind of disability or if you just cannot shovel.

Where I live there's less than a foot of snow, however the issue was the wind. 60mph wind gusts with snow make visibility down to zero and you cannot see. It creates a very dangerous situation with even just a little bit of snow. There are also snow drifts, which make it seem like there is more snow than there is. The snow can blow up against your door and make it impossible to open, even if there isn't very much snow on the ground.

I am pretty sure kids went dressed up as the camel at some point

I grew up in this era and my mom and I saw these costumes at the store but my mom would not let me have them because the masks were unsafe (she was right too!) so we ended up making a costume every year, or using a costume that did not involve plastic masks. I was a very lucky kid with the home made costume, everyone envied the kids with the home made costumes.

This is the weirdest thing about it, the costumes had a picture of who you were supposed to be on the front. You could have taped a picture from a coloring book after you colored it onto a plastic bag and it would be nearly the same thing.

Strange rare accident for sure. The only thing I can think of is the park did not properly maintain this ride probably due to covid and budget cuts.

Otherwise I am sure I join many other people in saying and believing the train is the safest ride at the park with its low speeds. I mean its the type of ride you wouldn't be afraid to put your grandma on. Rides like the train have almost no restrictions on who cannot ride it.
