scottrogers86··on Maui wildfires are 'apocalyptic' as people jump into the ocean to flee
>I don't think I've ever been somewhere where the locals were as suspicious of tourists. The pandemic gutted their economy so the feeling of hopelessness hung around even relatively remote places we visited along the Road to Hana.

I went to Maui last year for the first time. I've visited Kauai in my teens (we had family who lived there) this was the vibe then that they described -- tourists are generally not accepted, esp at the local surf spots. I actually found Maui more welcoming.

scottrogers86··on How to properly plagiarize a website
It's not a problem. I'm just saying that Infinum seems to think they came up with a certain layout. When in reality, it just came from bootstrap.
scottrogers86··on How to properly plagiarize a website
It looks like they both have taken from twitter bootstrap. Both look like very uninspired marketing sites. Infinum, get over yourselves.
