  1. I'll post pics later of the design. Definitely going to love it. I would say no critiquing allowed since it's set in stone at this point but alas this is surly. I just got a text back that I can get the Frigidaire dual fuel for $4100. I think that's a winner.
  2. Ship has pretty much sailed on this with the design, as well. I've already got plumbers planning gas lines. We had to run a gas line upstairs as we are moving the laundry to the second story so they are shooting off of that and coming into the kitchen wall. The one that they tore out was a ~ $500 induction range. It worked fine but I think I would be lying if I said I wasn't looking forward to having a proper gas range. I think I'm happy with that choice, as of now. I am starting to zero in on some mid options from legit name brands with solid track records and reviews. Frigidaire, KitchenAid, Electrolux, Cafe etc. I'm sure someone will shit on them but I think I reached peak give a fuck yesterday and I'm on my way back down.
  3. I appreciate some local flair at times and I also find it cringe when it's done wrong. They are doing a fair job with the Albanian theme. It's a real thing. Not exactly as it's portrayed here but you don't really want to mess with the Albanians.
  4. Every day I talk myself up another grand. Today I'm at 5.
  5. Can't tear up the kitchen design at this point. Because this has been my kitchen since 7/7.
  6. Can it make eggs and boil water though? Jesus fucking Christ I'm going to have to spend 6k on a range to make eggs and boil water. I'm going to be penniless when this remodel is over.
  7. I am really wanting to love this show, especially since people be hatin on it, but I think they really really fucked up by letting Olyphant's daughter play a role. I find myself not being able to take the show seriously at all because she's so bad. I hate to hate on a young kid but it's pretty damn distracting. I dislike the villain enough.
  8. New region dropped but I don't have the energy. There were some good matchups my fave was 10 100 lb wolves vs 5 200 lb cougars. In a one on one there's no question but with the ground rules I think I'm actually going wolves.
  9. Zline seems to consistently have the best reviews of the non high end models.
  10. Additional question, if I am looking at gas stovetop with a convection or air fryer is that already "dual fuel" or do I specifically need to find units that say dual fuel assuming I want that?
  11. I'm now looking to buy and re-reading this thread. All of this shit is way overkill for me. I don't need (or want) a $6k range. We make mac n cheese and eggs. But I am paranoid about some of these brands that are in the $3 and $4k range. Forget Miele and Wolf and Thermador, I would settle for GE or Kitchenaid but those are also $6k. I'm definitely doing 36" gas stove and either convection or air fryer oven combo with an under cabinet ducted hood. Any recs? If I filter 36" gas on Lowes website I get Kucht, Premier, Forno, Thor, Kosmo, NXR etc. I appreciate the surly culinary institute's preference towards the good life but I really, really don't need that. I have never once regretted the piece of crap $400 range we used to have. It just needs to look nice, be functional, not break and fit in with the rest of the newly redone kitchen.
  12. Yes and I love that they have him facing Gronk. Also got a good chuckle out of the rooster/Manny Pacquiao comp.
  13. The DMX Region is live. #1 seed 2 500 lb Grizzly Bears vs #8 seed 200 5 lb rats. Scouting Report Vote #2 seed 3 333 lb Silverbacks vs #7 seed 200 5 lb cocks Vote #3 seed 25 40 lb wolverines vs #6 seed 50 20 lb racoons Vote #4 seed 100 10 lb mongooses vs #5 seed five 200 lb rams (this seems like the only non blowout of this region) Vote
  14. You might have to explain what a gynecologist is but pretty kid friendly.
  15. Maybe? If they can have bobcats, house cats and tigers all in I don't see why not. I'm waiting for the other two regions to drop anxiously. 3 333 lb gorillas or 10 100lb chimps?
  16. Thought it was hilarious. Gosling in particular. America Ferrera was awesome, as well. So was Robbie but I thought the other two stole the show. I wanna push you around, well I will, well I will.
  17. They're in the same region bruh. I have not seen the entire bracket yet, only the Steve Irwin and Big Boi regions but I hear that 3 333 lb Silverback Gorillas are in the mix for a top seed.
  18. This probably should be it's own thread but some podcasters named Jenkins and Jones are doing a beast tournament, bracket style on Twitter. It's highly entertaining. Region 3 matchups dropping today. I'm having a hard time finding the original tweet to embed but you should be able to find it from here.
  19. Should I plan anything other than the Arizona memorial in Oahu, or just chill at the beaches and on property? We have 3 days/2 nights at the Hilton Hawaiian Village with the lagoon. Kids are 13 and 10. I was going to book a helicopter and maybe the Kualoa Ranch ATV excursion but I'm kind of thinking why at this point. I don't think we're snorkel people as a disclaimer.
  20. Yesterday I decided to bet on a CFL game and so I learned that BK has their own Canadian version of the jingle featuring butter chicken and poutine. I wish I was making that up. https://youtu.be/WE20TLD8_ao
  21. So it's the new Better Call Saul at least from a thread standpoint.
  22. 2 weeks out, my house in full remodel with no kitchen and I cannot f'ing wait for this trip. I'm gonna do the Road backwards. I will report back. I think going to do the Haleakala summit for a mid morning or sunset instead of sunrise.
  23. Is this the summer league thread?
  24. From what I'm reading you either have to watch it live on your provider or wait until next day to watch on Hulu. Anyone know otherwise?
