  1. That seems to be a common theme I'm reading here. I am taking solace in the fact that I'm guessing most of you all with that complaint live in Texas? That may be a feature and not a bug for us in Michigan.
  2. Take it from someone who has lived in TX and now regularly shops at a brand spanking new Kroger Marketplace 1/2 mile from my house. It ain't worth it. Kroger blows. The only redeeming quality they had was the 5-6x annual .99/lb pork butt but that is now 1.69 or something post Covid. Go to HEB or as someone said about Costco. Rest easy knowing you are paying more for better meat and a better overall shopping experience and company.
  3. I mean i can't really blame you but you didn't read the rules. It's a 1k weight even weight cap so this is 4 250 lb lions (lioness' I presume?) V. 2 500 lb tigers. I think I've got the tigers. I had the chimps over the jags as well in a close one. I also had the golden eagles over the jags. The scouting report said those things attack from the air so fast that the beak is equivalent to a gunshot. I'm not sure how many beasts in this bracket could survive that.
  4. Flew in from Phoenix today. Have only been here 6 hours and haven't gone anywhere but the resort grounds and the Honua Kai next door. We are blown away. Kids already calling it their favorite trip. We are simple Midwestern folk but we've had some fun trips. The landscape is just surreal.
  5. The Bosch ranges get crap reviews. The dishwashers they have like 8 of Consumer Reports top 10.
  6. Respectfully I disagree. You moron. Kidding but felt like a good opportunity to take an anonymous online shot at someone. Here is how I see this battle taking place. Each cougar retreats to a corner as far away as possible from the action. The pack descends upon one of the cougars from every angle. The cougar feigns and crouches and bluffs once it is cornered trying to convince itself it is the predator and not the prey. The wolves drive the cougar off of its spot using their hunting technique. They aren't quite engaging enough for the cougar to attack, it knows it is in for a battle so it keeps retreating and trying to scare the wolves off. Meanwhile its 3 buddies are off napping and eating lasagna. Eventually the wolves wear down the cougar and it has to fight. It is exhausted. It maybe takes out one of the wolves tops. Wolves don't get tired man. They will do this shit over and over to each of the remaining cougars. Those pumas don't know teamwork. I need to revisit the bracket but I heard 3 333 lb Silverbacks took on 25 40 lb wolverines today.
  7. Reading good things about the range but not the dishwashers and refrigerators for Frigidaire. Seem to recall people having issues with LG refrigerators but they are consistently rated they highest on CR. Good LG dishwasher on there for a good price that compares well to their top overall. Anyone have any feedback on LG refrigerators?
  8. This is an open field battle Royal. There will be no sneaking up on anyone or ambushing. I'm going with the team that knows how to fight as a group vs the solo ambush predators. Also spoiler alert. Wolves won, I think it was close to 60/40.
  9. I'm too worried about my kids getting shot up at school to gaf about aliens. Aliens got a cure for gun violence?
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. Every day I talk myself up another grand. Today I'm at 5.
  14. Can't tear up the kitchen design at this point. Because this has been my kitchen since 7/7.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. Zline seems to consistently have the best reviews of the non high end models.
  19. 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?
  20. 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.
  21. Yes and I love that they have him facing Gronk. Also got a good chuckle out of the rooster/Manny Pacquiao comp.
  22. 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
  23. You might have to explain what a gynecologist is but pretty kid friendly.
  24. 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?
