  1. Bought an instapot as well. So far has worked really well.

    Bought a couple Apple watches (had to use other people’s accounts).

    Wife bought some things for the house as well that we’ve been meaning to buy.

    All in all, got some good deals and made it worth it.

  2. Passenger Zip-Tied And Duct Taped After Allegedly Punching Flight Attendant On Pittsburgh To Dallas American Airlines Flight

    About this time last year on a flight from Pitt to Dallas, shortly before we left the gate, a chick got escorted off the plane for being drunk as fuck and making a scene.

    The Pitt airport is cheap as fuck to drink at.
  3. I have the same issue with my dog time to time.

    It’s correlated to how bad the storms are. We have to get real excited when we ask her to go out and then go out with her and slowly walk into the grass. Eventually she’ll follow us.

    Sometimes we have to pick her up and place her in the middle of the yard. She’ll stand there looking around with one foot raised, then eventually do her thing once she realizes it’s safe and start trotting around the yard like normal.

    Afterwards we usually give her a treat.

  4. Was talking to the BIL earlier since he was just in the DR a couple weeks ago and he mentioned a couple of them went out for dinner. Only him and another one of them ordered a drink, both got sick.

    He had one drink at dinner and then said he had an elevated heart rate and felt like his heart was going to jump out of his chest. Then spent the next day and a half feeling like he had food poisoning.

  5. In all seriousness, your kids are going to remember this trip 40 years down the road just like I remember the huge road trips I took with my parents and brothers 40 years ago.  Moose out front shoulda told ya. 


    This. I’m 29 and my parents took us on several cross country road trips. Every time I see them, we still talk about those trips and make Griswold jokes. Before each trip, we watched the griswold movies.

    My wife never took these trips and it’s something I’ll take her on (and kids if we have them).

    Enjoy the trips guys. Definitely worth it.
  6. Hey guys, I’ll be out in Seattle during the twins series and am looking to catch a game. Any recommendations for pregame spots, best places to sit, club options within the ballpark, etc would be greatly appreciated.

  7. My daughter goes to MSOE so I go up about 2x times a year.
    For first timers if you're into Harley's go ahead and take the tour there and eat at the restaurant they provide. Old world 3rd street is great but not a full day's worth of activity, but perfect for an evening if you're on a business trip. Another touristy thing to do is the Miller tour but not one I'd enthusiastically endorse.
    Spotted cow is best in the summertime IMO, I always pick up a few cases when I'm up there.  Al speaks the troof on having cheese curds and mixed drinks (bloody mary's yes) - any cheese up there is awesome IF it's fresh and not frozen.


    Yeah, the miller tour is alright, they do give you a good amount of free beer at the end though.

    New Glaurus (where spotted cow is brewed) is incredible. Well worth the drive to check out the views, granted like mentioned above you’ll have to do it when warm out.
  8. Forgot to mention something about the market. Go to the seafood place, sit at the bar and enjoy oysters and schlitz beer.

    There’s also a really good cheese shop/bar right across from what was the Bradley center. So it’s roughly across the street from the new arena. If I remember correctly, it’s on the same block as the braut place mentioned above.

  9. Check out the Market as mentioned above, Lakefront Brewery is really cool. There’s some bars/restaurants/breweries in the 5th Ward. They have several bars/breweries along the river. There’s a booze cruise that will go up and down the river stopping at various places.

    You can’t go wrong with ordering fried cheese curds everywhere you go.

  10. We travel a lot and often come across pockets with little to no cell phone service. My wife thought she could enable the hot spot on my phone to get wifi on hers.

    She straight up believed that enabling the hot spot, when no cell service is available, automatically “gets internet”.

    It took several different attempts to explain how it truly works.

  11. He'll probably be a failure, but he's being hired based on his status as a QB whisperer in addition to his version of the air raid. With all the hype around Mahomes and Mayfield someone was gonna take a shot on him. If they just hired him as an OC and he was successful he would be hired away as a HC at another team within two years, so Arizona is taking a gamble. They want to fix their passing game and if Kliff is able to, making him HC means he might stay with them for the next twenty years. If it doesnt work just fire him like anyone else. Kliff has far more potential upside than most hires, even if he's probably gonna blow massive chunks. I like this more than just hiring the same old retreads.


    This. Worst case, he sucks and you fire him in two years and your still the same usual Arizona Cardinals.

    Let him draw up plays, mentor your young QB and then hire someone that teaches discipline on defense and keep the fuck away from that side of the ball. He doesn’t have to worry about recruiting and flirting with moms anymore, more time to draw up plays.
  12. We use the Niagara JACEs for our big networked jobs at work and one of my coworkers took one home and uses it to control his chicken feeder and other things in his chicken coop, among other things at his house.

    As far as switches, I’m installing RF switches that can tie back to the hub and also control my shades as well as take commands from Alexa.

  13. That is pretty good deal. I haven't been to Texas Live yet is it pretty much the same as the Cardinals live in St. Louis?


    Apparently yes. I was talking to the bartender at PBR bar in Texas Live and he moved from the PBR bar at Cardinals Live to run this one. I believe he said Philly has something similar as well.
  14. I have a couple Fire TVs and use them with Hulu Live and NFL Sunday Ticket.

    I don’t have an issue at all watching any of the games I want in college or NFL.

    I think I saw Fire TVs on Amazon earlier for 40 bucks, down from 70.

    I also bought Ethernet adapters for the Fire tv so they use hard wired instead of WiFi connections and haven’t had any streaming issues at all.

    Love the Fire TV over my Apple TV (granted it’s an older generation) to the point where I bought another fire TV on prime day to replace the Apple TV.

  15. 4K are cheap now. Budget?

    I got a 65” LG 4K last summer for $750

    Get on the frys promo code email list. Really really good deals.

    This.

    Sounds like we bought the same tv. I went during lunch and my wife happened to be working from home that day. 2 hours later I get a call from the wife that the tv was delivered. Free delivery too.

    That Fry’s promo code is clutch. Just went and bought a 2 TB external HD normally at 85 bucks or something for 59.
