I'm no big Starbucks fan, but Dutch bros is coffee for 12 year-olds.

S2E3 was unbelievably bizarre and hilarious. The finale was truly shocking. What a wonderfully convoluted journey to get to that ending.

Well, the first 2 sets were interesting.Â

Imagine if a year ago someone told you there would be a zombie show based on a video game, that in episode 3 would take a detour from the main story to casually blindside viewers with an incredibly powerful love story starring gay Ron Swanson. And that it would be a masterpiece.
I just started the show. Thought I'd get a little high and enjoy some fun zombie shit. Didn't foresee getting emotionally gutted for an hour and a half.

I am planning a trip with the wife and kids for next January (only time that works for us right now). Kids would be 15 months and nearly 4. If I tailored a trip for myself it would be nature-driven. For my wife, it would be food-centric. The baby is chill (for now). The 3 year-old is into animals and trains.
My rough itinerary at the moment is to fly into Lisbon early Saturday and stay in the city for 4 nights. I'd use one of those days for a trip to Sintra.
Then, we'd rent a car and head to the Algarve. I've been looking at some of the towns in the hills rather than staying right on the coast. Perhaps Monchique? Spend two nights there with a trip down to the coast for a little while one day.Â
On Friday, head back to Lisbon taking a detour through the Castro Verde Biosphere (steppes of the Alentejo region), and fly back on Saturday.
Any thoughts on kid-specific restaurants/activities or other Algarve towns would be appreciated.Â

Don't not go because it's rainy season or green season. Most of the time its sunny until about 4 and then it pours for the rest of the night.  Go do something like fish or raft and by the time you get back and get showered grab a bevarge and sit under a patio/balcony and watch it pour. there is nothing more relaxing. Of course sometimes the weather just sucks. Its also cheaper and less crowds
Â
Seconded. I think I went in May. It rained most every night, but was sunny all day. By then, we had either scuba'd, hiked, ziplined, kayaked, whatever we wanted to do. Then we just chilled with a few Imperial and hung out with the other people at our camping/glamping site on Osa.
I loved that trip. Why I want to return so badly with my family.Â

If I was in a different life stage, I'd definitely take you up on this. Good luck, I'm jealous.

Tulemar resort in Manuel Antonio is probably my first and only choice for your situation. A very distant 2nd choice would be Los Suenos but there isn’t nearly as much nature stuff there. I’m very hesitant to tell people with kids that young that CR is a good vacation choice.
Due to the activities being geared toward non-toddlers? I certainly don't want to burn that bridge and struggle to convince the wife to go back for a more fulfilling experience.

Since I'm here, any thoughts or recommendations on a family trip to CR with young kids? Im looking at a week in late January. Oldest kid is about to turn 3, the other is currently 8 months. I'd happily leave them with the grandparents for a week, but my wife isn't there yet.
The youngest is very chill (for now), and the 3 year-old loves to be outdoors generally. I really want to go to Arenal area one day, but it seems like a place to save for when they are a little older and can do more of the active stuff. My wife's #1 priority for travel is probably food, mine is nature.
Would Quepos/Manuel Antonio be the ideal location in our situation, or are there other places you would suggest? I figured we could find a hotel or rental with a pool and be on the edge of the jungle, while also having easy access to the beach and dining options.

Checked with my wife and we are going there on a large mammal tour.
I went with a friend in 2014. We did I think a half-day trip into the park. We had caiman, crocodile, tamandua, 3-toed sloth, family groups of spider and squirrel monkey and most remarkably tapir.
I wasn't a yet a birder when we went, but pretty sure we also had scarlet macaw and some trogon species without any effort. It's a very cool place.

he's so stunningly dumb. it would be hilarious if it weren't so terrifying. I learned fairly recently that there is actually a historical hierarchy for stupidity and the associated terms. For example, a moron is different than and idiot (I'll see if I can find what I am referencing). whatever the lowest and dumbest category is probably doesn't capture this fucking idiot
Moron, idiot and imbecile. But I don't remember which one is the dumbest.
Just looked up to confirm. Moron>imbecile>idiot. So our own Rex Tillerson was incorrect. Trump isn't a moron. He's a fucking idiot.

Imagine being such a fucking dork that not only did your high school and college peers refuse to invite you to parties, share their joints, or sleep with you, but half a century later you are still so obsessed with this rejection that you work tirelessly to ban porn and weed. I can only imagine sex not for the purposes of procreation is next.

Yes I find it incredibly embarrassing when Horns compare Trump unfavorably to Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Amin, Mao, etc.  I do not care what you say on your boards and I already know you’re a total dipshit.
I mean, the USAID cuts alone have caused thousands of deaths already, and will likely lead to millions more. I guess it's not killing if we're just removing aid that these people in no way earned, right? And they aren't Americans anyway. We're saving those deaths for when we get these Medicaid cuts solidified.

This forum consists largely of aging white men of some financial means. That demo will be among the last to suffer. I guess it's silly and hyperbolic to care about literally anyone else.

I guess I'm just being histrionic. Doug Burgum says there is "plenty of time" to solve a "potential temperature crisis" after we beat China in the AI arms race and prevent Iran from getting a nuke. These rich guys are so nice to be looking out for us all the time and telling us what really matters.Â

I believe it is the hospital, apparently attempting to follow state law. It had already been 3 months, so if it was just a lawyer thing, I'd hope they'd have figured it out by now.

I spent my operative day watching silo in energy-saving mode, so I couldn't see shit but was too tired and lazy to fuck with the settings.
It took a little longer than I expected for everything to feel normal, and im pretty sure I'm in the 40% of men who develop a granuloma, which is occasionally painful.
But 5 months later and no more pregnancies! Now is this because of the vasectomy or other factors...?

Keeping a dead woman "alive" for 6 months to give birth, just as Jesus instructed in the Bible.

Oklahoma to require high schoolers to learn about "discrepancies" in the 2020 election. Texas should follow suit here shortly, I'm sure.

Democrats need to use this. I mean Baraka specifically, but all the rest as well. Go put yourself in position to get arrested for some bullshit, then when they are forced to release you, hammer them.
If they arrested one of the best modern mouthpieces for the Dems, like Crockett or AOC, or Bernie's ancient ass, I've got to think that would really rile a lot of people up.

My phone is predicting 2.75 inches overnight here in Round Rock. But that's true just about every night.
