  1. These are some weird takes. I mean Palermo in and of itself has a stupid amount of history, churches, great food, culture, etc with access to other small towns, beaches and the like. It's not like we're suggesting a week in Bolzano where, yeah, it's not quite prototypical Italy. If you think Sicily is the equivalent of Mallorca, I don't know what to tell you.
  2. ChatGPT says, "FU pay me"
  3. Was it Saint Cecilia, Aldine annex?
  4. ...in cool low season, it's fine. Summer? Bah-rutal
  5. As an Italian... he's going to get a far more Italian experience in Sicily than he will visiting an overrun city like Florence. The Italian experience is not in the big touristy cities. Going to an Adriatic town like Numana, Ostuni, Mattinata or Rimini is as Italian as you can get @hookem2010. Beach clubs on the Adriatic will be quite a bit cheaper than Liguria (and certainly cheaper than Sardegna). Also, beach clubs are designed for families and children - you'll be in good hands. Cinque Terre or Amalfi with a toddler and a stroller? Thoughts and prayers.
  6. I absolutely loved our time in Sicily. We spent a two week trip based out of western Sicily with two home bases in San Vito Lo Capo and Trapani. Excellent food, prices are good, fascinating history and landscapes. Enjoy it. I don't know anything further east of Palermo, personally.
  7. exactly
  8. Ooofff... I remember it wasn't just a random killing and there were mental health issues tied to it. I've heard stories of how brain tumors gradually and fundamentally change people and their personalities. Sad all around. This was not long after Harvey so they neighborhood was already reeling from the past year.
  9. Actually looked it up... it was an old man who lost his mind, killed his wife (I think she bled out in front of the house) and then he walked around from neighbor to neighbor knocking on doors... all while covered in blood. Good times.
  10. I like Shane Gillis. He's funny. I appreciate his goofy delivery style and I am a fan of comedians who tear into the audience. That said, damn it one poster is trying awfully hard to make we want to not like him. Just stop.
  11. Pfft... I have his hologram Upper Deck
  12. Did it happen in your actual neighborhood and on a cul-de-sac? We may have lived in the same hood. Happened maybe 6-7 years ago? Post-Harvey.
  13. His Wikipedia specifically highlights the game where he came in and took a knee twice. Twice, bro!
  14. Imagine comparing that JAG's college career to Quinn
  15. Seriously. Georgetown is in Dallas, right?
  16. Last day to take advantage of this... bought BALTHVS. Sun Room would be tempting. Eggy is pretty good live. I also like Sir Chloe's sound.
  17. The future is bright, gentlemen! Like a phoenix from the ashes, the US garment industry will rise again!
  18. Even if manufacturing comes back, how much is automated? Good time to invest in manufacturing robots. So when Apple says they will move manufacturing to the US, how many jobs will they provide? https://www.computerworld.com/article/4049837/apples-going-to-automate-all-the-iphone-factories.html I'm sure all will go well with automation and AI, though. https://www.axios.com/2025/05/28/ai-jobs-white-collar-unemployment-anthropic
  19. Well, or look at a company like Tenaris that makes tubular products in plants in Texas or Arkansas... shipments are down to projects in Brazil so what's to stop them from shifting production to Veracruz from Texas?
  20. OK... so on Shingrex... should anyone over 50 get it or just someone who had Chickenpox? I keep reading both sides and I'm still not clear.
  21. Call with a client this morning. Tariff conversation came up. He described manufacturing operations in a Texas plant most likely moving to the ME because the tariffs are killing them. Winning?
