  1. This seems like good advice. I didn't lose anything other than a couple of paid for nights in a condo in Maui. But I was there and I watched the town burn down from a Jeep with my family, and witnessed some of the aftermath. It messed me up for a good year. It was all I could think about.
  2. Did they commit to sending one? I decided to get off of my ass and email Hisense today. It would be pretty miraculous if they decided to do anything but I figure I should try. Doesn't seem cool to not stand behind a failing product that cost 3400 bucks 3 years into its lifecycle.
  3. The first stuck pixel showed up in mid December, about 3 months shy of 3 years. A couple of weeks later, a second stuck pixel showed up. Last night, a 3rd. What the funk is going on Hisense? Based on Google search results, I'm nearly certain they're going to tell me that I'm SOL because I bought it off of Amazon, which they consider an unauthorized dealer.
  4. Yeah she's a cutie. Silliest dog I've ever known, as well.
  5. This goof is starting to go into heat it seems like? I've never had a dog go into heat before a spay but I was definitely planning on waiting this time around as it seems consensus has evolved. Still, it seems early? She's 9 months almost to the day, and about 70 lbs. Most of what I'm seeing on Google is saying that bigger dogs usually are in the 18 months range before they get it. Not freaking out, made a midnight trip to Meijer for diapers and will call the vet in the morning.
  6. Named after Dan I presume?
  7. Is he really still banned? I thought he was allowed back. I'm sick of everyone on my team being hurt and sitting out. Impossible to get any momentum. Derka I will not be trading you Jalen Duren because I am enjoying watching the Pistons. If someone wants to trade me Cade let me know.
  8. Do this. Lanikai pillbox hike. Not too hard (my kids were 13 and 10 and the younger one is a wimp), great views and a beautiful beach at the bottom to cool off in. I think it was about 35 minutes from Waikiki. Edit. Also though touristy Diamond Head is worth doing. You can almost walk there from parts of Waikiki. Maybe not, it's been a couple of years, but it's close, fun and cool bunkers at the top.
  9. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34471982/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23531424/ I think it will be fine.
  10. I called today, they told me someone has to stay the entire time. They said probably 2 hours from when I walk in at 8:45. Stupid. I'm not objecting to them not letting me drive but it's not easy to have to ask other people to rearrange all of their shit to sit in a waiting room for 2 hours.
  11. I'm up Tuesday. I'm planning on not following the clear liquid diet per the statnews articles and cited studies. Anybody try this? "I've never seen a piece of chicken" sold me. I'll probably have chicken soup, with chicken at least. They are also being bitchasses about driving. They are including in their text manifesto that my driver must remain on the premises (their word) the entire procedure. Can they really hold me to that? I have a friend who is willing to pick me up and lives 10 minutes away. I'm getting dropped off by my wife. She has to take our kid to an appointment and took the morning off so she could do both. People have lives. I'm not going to ask my buddy to sit in a waiting room for 3 hours. That's absurd.
  12. I had a 2019 Navigator before my Bronco and it was a beautiful, flawless vehicle. The Bronco is a lot more fun to drive but I definitely miss the Navi.
  13. Shaq has it written down on his notepad that when Denver scores 128 points they win and when they score 110.5 they lose. 😂
  14. There is no Olive Garden on door dash that delivers to that location. Sorry. Can we interested you in Taco Cobana? Perhaps some naoch?
  15. I'm not saying I like it, but what I am saying is that you are definitely wrong. There are ad campaigns that make me want to go out and murder gypsies.
  16. Glad to see you back. Sorry you are going through this. I do not have any opposable thumbs to donate to you but I do know a Semi retired kick ass prosthetics guy if you want to travel to Detroit.
  17. Congrats to you all that won a Championship. It's tough sledding these days now that all of these kids are using the same analytics that I am.😂😐
  18. If Jennings can score 5 TDs in the last 10 minutes here I'm going to win this MFer.
  19. Who even thought we need to bring caveman back because he was so effing hilarious the first time around? Insurance commercials are so terrible. Almost as bad as Discover.
  20. I wasn't going to win starting ETN and Blackshear. I would have at least liked to have a chance going into tomorrow with Jennings but the fucking Bengals didn't take a knee when they should have in regulation and then missed the FG when they did in OT. Every time Joey B came back with a score and put up a 50 piece. Bummer. I will take the free $1600. More and a trophy would have been nice.
  21. Down goes Chuba. Looks like I will be starting Mike Boone and Travis Etienne for the championship. 🙄
  22. Ok. Fair. But is this still something to consider if I would never use the cooling component? It just doesn't get that hot here and I have a basement for drinking beer alone when the need arises.
  23. I have a 23 4 door Bronco as my daily driver. It's fun but I'm not sure it's what you're looking for. Mine is the twin turbo and it eats gas like a mfer. I bought it with a hard top and have bought a factory soft top for the seasonal swap. The swap is not easy and is not a one man job. The hard top is 4 pieces. Two "t top" panels which are very easy to remove and put back on. A larger middle panel which is cumbersome and a little heavy but I've managed to get it off by myself. The rear piece that sits over the cargo area is a 2 person job though they do make overhead lift systems if you have access to a garage that can make it a one man job. With the soft top on, the main advantage is it's very easy to put it back and forth to position 1. To take it all the way down you have to remove both side windows and the rear window but it makes it a full on convertible. Doesn't take more than a couple of minutes and it is a one person job. The soft top is way noisier and I wouldn't want just a soft top on the winter here or in the summer if I lived somewhere very hot like Arizona or TX. If you have any specific questions let me know.
  24. Can you link me to the type of mini split you're referencing? I see some small ones on Amazon, not sure if that's the ticket. The one they installed in the addition is a major piece of equipment - it's almost the size of a regular furnace. I would be way, way out of my element trying to set something like that up.
  25. This has happened twice. The addition was completed last winter. It got very cold once afterwards, which is when we identified the problem, had the plumber/builder/insulation people come back out to "fix" the problem. I discovered last week that it was, in fact, not fixed. I definitely got the faucets dripping trying to thaw them and prevent refreeze. I was hoping for something a little more permanent going forward.
