  1. You don't need a new smart tv, you can just buy a fire stick or a roku or a Nvidia Shield and plug it into your current tv with a HDMI cable. Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K, streaming device with Alexa, easy to use, TV and smart home controls, free and live TV https://a.co/d/d8sY8LN
  2. Brooks got ejected with 7 minutes left and Canada up 15. Luka time? Perhaps not. Just got his second T and also ejected. Slovenia will miss the Olympics next year.
  3. The way he initially communicated it, it was meet egress or no new windows. Would have had to make bigger cut outs, tear up the new siding etc. After pressing him on it turns out we don't have to meet egress.
  4. Nvm builder is an idiot.
  5. If you can find it this Canada Slovenia game is pretty entertaining.
  6. I'm in the middle of a major remodel. Don't NEED new windows on the front of the house but decided to go for it to match the addition. Also the siding is a new color and the old windows don't match and I'm not sure that paint match would be feasible. I was told today by the builder that because the two upstairs windows in the front are in bedrooms, they must pass egress and apparently at the size they are they do not, regardless of if we opt for casement, sliding or double hung. He says if we want to go through with it they would need to make them bigger, which of course is more money. My question is if we punt on the windows now and decide to hire a standalone window company to replace them in 6 months do I need to worry about egress? We would be all through with city inspections at that point presumably.
  7. Not to get into a back and forth, just to correct you. Over 100 people on the initial list self reported. This is the new list, which you would have known if you had read the article. And also you may note that your article was dated 8/30, while the one I posted was dated 9/2. I hope you are correct at the end of the day.
  8. What an odd post. Also https://mauinow.com/2023/09/01/updated-fbi-list-385-people-remain-unaccounted-for-following-the-lahaina-wildfire/

  10. This seems like an insane deal. https://slickdeals.net/f/16891342-85-inch-class-qe1c-qled-4k-smart-tv-samsung-us-1073-24-through-edu-pricing-program-10-discount-from-chat-rep?utm_campaign=&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_term=deal&utm_content=auto

    Asshole jumps on the elliptical one removed from mine having a phone conversation so loud that I can't concentrate on the podcast I'm listening to. Obviously too self absorbed to notice the looks I'm shooting him or that I immediately get off wipe the machine down and move to a treadmill as far away as I can get from him. Can still hear him btw.
  12. How are things on the ground @Hank_Hill?
  13. Is there a setting to make your timeline chronological? Mine is still just a mishmash of bullshit. 24 hrs ago, 2 days ago, 1 hour ago, 4 days ago. I read up thread that the algorithm was updated to make the timeline chronological so I check in every week or so but it's still the same bs. I did not see anything in settings.
  14. Interesting read. https://www.civilbeat.org/2023/08/denby-fawcett-show-respect-for-lahaina-by-restoring-its-once-lush-wetlands/
  15. Saleh is a badass.
  16. We need Bluesky. Come on Dorsey, get your shit together.
  17. Thanks Twice, it was the bolt. I found another one, what might have been the original, and it tightened right up. Of course this was after I threw a hammer through the drywall in the garage and told the wife to put the bikes in the minivan and she already left town.
  18. Fuck the conspiracy theory bullshitters. Fuck every last one of them. That stirs up the rage in me.
  19. Does anyone know anything about bike racks or lock washers? I have a maybe 12+ year old Yakima hitch rack that is supposed to hold 4 bikes. I haven't used it in a long time but my long time memory of it was I never trusted it to stay in. It has a bolt that goes in through the hitch cover, a flat washer and a lock washer that hug the top of the bolt against the outside of the trailer hitch. That's it. The instructions say you can put a cotter pin on the end of the bolt or a bike lock but neither "tighten" the bolt. You can tighten it against the trailer hitch as much as you want, it just keeps spinning and spinning. It's not sturdy at all, like it is not tight in the hitch and has a lot of play in it, and I can back it out using just my fingers from the other side of the trailer hitch. This does not seem right to me. My wife is planning on going somewhere with bikes tomorrow and I can tell she doesn't seem at ease with it.
  20. Just want to say that I was expecting a certain amount of hostility from the locals, even before the disaster. I know the history of the islands and had heard that tourists were not well thought of. What I experienced was the opposite. Of course it helps if you are respectful, empathetic, charitable and courteous but the people I encountered were as sympathetic to us for our travel plights as they were to other locals. I'm like I slept in a mall man, these people lost homes, it isn't the same. But the genuine feelings of concern and safety were real and very humbling. It makes me very much want to go back and pump money into the economy when the time is right. Of course I don't have much money left after this ordeal but that is a separate issue.
  21. Why do people think it is acceptable to take their shoes off on an airplane? Are you shoes really that uncomfortable? If so get some new fucking shoes.
  22. I understand why they shut it back down. When I drove through there were a bunch of people parked on the side of the bypass overlooking town taking pictures and videos and some even venturing down below into the blast zone.
  23. Holy fuckballs. New fire in Ka'anapali across from Honua Kai and the Westin properties. People being evacuated. Reading it's 80% contained. Good God can they please catch a break?
  24. I made it. It was horrible beyond words. Stunning, even after looking at everything online and on the news.
  25. Update bc I'm sitting in a parking lot on the highway back into town. They are letting residents and hotel guests with reservations back into town you retrieve their things starting at noon. Family is on their flight Phoenix bound. Sw rebooked me at 4 but I'm not going to make it I don't think. The adventures continue. I hate to be a burden on these folks but I think getting our shit myself is probably less of one than having to have someone box everything up and ship it.
