  1. So we're really trying to do The Heights again 20 years later with a 50 year old Jamie Walters/Ray Pruitt? Man I fully bought into this being a mob show, not a promo for an acoustic guitar heartthrob's new release on Spotify. How times have changed but they really haven't. How do you talk to an Angel?
  2. Same issue with Powerbeat Pros. Fucking annoying. I've learned to press them back into the case before I take them out to put them on to make sure the white light is on and not the red, but if it's the red then I'm still SOL because I'm ready to leave to go somewhere I intend to wear them and now I have to wait 30 minutes for them to charge. That's an impressive sentence.
  3. It's not the bourbon. It's the stuff you eat after the bourbon. Add 30 min of moderately intense cardio and keep drinkin. Sorry not sorry to be an enabler
  4. Zeroing in on two separate Maui stays with a short jaunt to Oahu in between. Looking like Papakea for the first part and I'm looking at Honua Kai for segment two. Anyone familiar with Honua Kai?
  5. The padlocks on the trash cans is a nice touch in the latest installment of becoming your parents.
  6. Starting to poke around at accomodations. I have a solid lead from a friend but thought I might ask here, as well. Ideally would like an independently rented (VRBO or Airbnb) 2 bedroom villa/condo in a resort with beach access. Papakea is where they stayed and it looks pretty good. If anyone has any recs on either specific properties or general locations, would love to hear them. Kids 10, 13 We will swim in a pool more than the ocean but ocean front is nice No golf
  7. Additional random opinions that don't need to be shared but I'm on a roll. I don't like Chiklis. Obviously I don't like his character but I just don't like him as an actor. He always seems so typecast and forced. I thought he played a good asshole as Herc with an ounce of empathy but since then he's just always an asshole with a bad accent. His underboss is Chandler Bing's younger cousin who got beat up a lot in grade school. I also appreciated the appearance of Archie Manning to instruct Dwight on how he was hip to his game.
  8. Yeah. I really like it, but the plot is advancing suspiciously quickly and it is becoming more reliant on shootouts and such. They aren't spending as much time developing characters and storylines as they did in the first few episodes. It's funny because a lot of people complain about things like the above in lieu of more action, and I'm a 90s action movie buff but in a show today I really like all of that development. I do really like Tyson's character and I'm gonna be pissed if he gets dead. I also like Teller (I think that's his name, the bar owner). Hell I even like Bodhi and Amber had a nice little moment in this last episode. Hopefully Dwight gets a cell next to Kurt Russell's.
  9. I grew a set and pulled the trigger last night. 4 R/T nonstop fares on SWA (I know) PHX > OGG in late Summer. 164k miles transferred over from Chase. I booked the DTW > PHX fares on my Delta Amex as they were pretty reasonable and also direct. I guess I will be taking my talents to the Maui thread. Thank you guys for helping me out.
  10. I have to say, you gotta give ROFLBOX at least some credit for jumping back into the thread and coming with fire. That said I am awaiting a response from BtR and VR before I issue a ruling.
  11. No pinch collar. Halti/gentle leader Had a 120 lb malamute and a 115 Greater Swiss. Halti/Gentle Leader
  12. I don't believe you all. Why would Gronk want that insurance so bad if it's shit?
  13. Come on now. Shurly has crowdsourced mfers for less when it comes to a dog. Of course we went to know about the dog.
  14. I like em. I've been sleeping with a box fan bedside since college if not before. The whole app/case/charging thing isn't great but it sounds like those things may be addressed when the 3s come out and those are minor inconveniences for my personal situation.
  15. We got the Jabra elite active 7s, similar to what @Rimbo recommended. They seem to stay in well for him. I ordered some generic memory foam tips from Amazon and we're going to try them out and see if they improve the fit or anc. Kind of OT but I bought these and after 3 nights I fucking love them. There are some improvements they could make to the overall ecosystem for sure but they fit nicely in my ears and I don't notice them at all and I'm a side sleeper. I guess I don't need to bring a noise machine with me when I travel anymore. https://www.amazon.com/Bose-Sleepbuds-II-technology-Clinically/dp/B08FRR6Z1N
  16. MC something
  17. If I had the room I'd buy all of the letters for my basement. Love me some Waffle House. Part of the allure is that they don't exist up here.
  18. The boys in my family must have mutant ear canals. When I was looking for a good pair of workout earbuds a couple of years ago I couldn't find any that would stay in my ears even with different sized tips. I finally settled on the Powerbeat Pros with the hook and they have great sound but no ANC. Got my 13 year old a pair of ANC buds on sale by Phillips but they don't stay in his ears, even trying all of the different tips. Absolutely want ANC for him as he's got some anxiety issues and random noise bothers him. Don't really want to spend $300 if I don't have to and I don't think airpod pros or whatever are going to stick in his ears any better than the Philips set we already have. I turn to the surl for recs.
  19. Santa definitely got my letter because the one thing I wanted for Christmas was an alternate broadcast of Philly NYK with Spike Lee and Screamin A
  20. Done. Every year I think it's the last I will have to do this and though I complain I'm going to be very sad when I don't have to do this anymore. Cheers y'all.
