  1. We are trapped. Sleeping in an outdoor mall. Hope Hank and the other residents have not lost anything.
  2. Ironically enough the condo I am staying in for the next 5 days has all Bosch appliances in the kitchen. They kinda look and feel cheap to me? I haven't used the dishwasher yet. Range is induction. Look at this stupid water dispenser on the refrigerator. Anyone spot the issue aside from the wrong logo on the cup?
  3. I'm in Hawaii, really shouldn't be worrying about this shit but I am. I'm so frustrated with the PM on the remodel. The subs are all fantastic but he is full of shit. Just be honest and communicate with me man. Tell me why you can't get the plumbing roughed in. He has alluded 3x to delays being caused by the inability to make a draw against the loan with the CU. Bullshit. Talk to your ex wife who runs the accounting in your office. We had this straightened out a month ago but apparently you never asked her about it and decided to delay services instead. This project was 3.5 years in inception and I have been adamant the entire time the interior work needs to happen in summer due to school considerations in re to my wife and kids. Yet they didn't start tearing the kitchen out until 7/6 (done the next day) and it has sat idle since. I told him 3 months ago we were going to HI for 2 weeks and gave him dates yet the house has been sitting untouched for a week since we left. I sent him a Karen email that was entirely fair. Fucking frustrated.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. The Bosch ranges get crap reviews. The dishwashers they have like 8 of Consumer Reports top 10.
  9. 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.
  10. 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?
  11. 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.
  12. I'm too worried about my kids getting shot up at school to gaf about aliens. Aliens got a cure for gun violence?
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. Every day I talk myself up another grand. Today I'm at 5.
  17. Can't tear up the kitchen design at this point. Because this has been my kitchen since 7/7.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. Zline seems to consistently have the best reviews of the non high end models.
  22. 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?
