I don't get it. How did you not find this kabob place years ago just exploring around?
It was on the other side of an intersection where there is basically nothing but homes. Had never had the need to go over there.
By “exploring around,” do you mean just like aimlessly driving? Because that is not something I do.
Preach it, sister

Or I use YouTube to fix my washing machine, and then I get weeks of videos about washing machine repair.

All y'all computer boys just need to get out and explore. See what the algorithm of the streets has to offer.

Yeah, that's pretty much the gist of it.
Or even better, taking a roundabout way to a destination to unlock more of the map in your head.

The expense is worth finding all these cheap kabob spots. Long term investment on savings and questing.

I don’t know what to think when Starbucks sends me emails “challenging” me to buy a new drink.

Does that mean the drink tastes terrible and they think you’re tough and want to see how much you can take or they taste so good, your uncultured palate can’t handle how yummy it is?

I think they're challenging me to expand my palette into drinks that cost more than a plain black coffee.

Their margin on black coffee is probably way higher than any of the complicated drinks
