  1. Wagyu in the US has no real requirements for breeding, so most of the stuff you find labeled as such is some form of hybrid and is "wagyu" at best. I roll my eyes at it. True wagyu is genetically different, the fat has much less saturated fat percentage, and is distinctly healthier for you. Easy way to tell, the fat will be liquid at room temp, while most beef fat is solid. For people whose doctors recommend less beef consumption due to saturated fats, switching to (real) wagyu is a good health move.
  2. I got bit by the Alaska flight groundings due to the door blowout. Arriving from international connection at night to find flight canceled, and they rebooked me one day (same flight, 24hr) later. Waited in 2hr line to get hotel and food voucher. While in line, bought a ticket on SW for early next morning adding one connection. (I had no faith they would actually fly the next day.) While in line I watched SW options fill up and Delta options fill up. There were no flights available on other carriers by the time I got to front of line. Slept for 2.5hrs on the voucher. Gave up a free bag allowance that I had via the intl transfer, paid for additional bag on SW. Eventually got home, 36hr transit time from first flight to arriving at my door, on about 6hrs of total sleep. The flight Alaska tried to rebook me on did eventually fly, but 3hrs delayed. It landed 3am this morning. If I didn't need to be back for work it wouldn't have been bad, I would have just rebooked an additional day out to let things stabilize, and just explored Seattle a bit. Of course my credit card stopped their travel insurance years ago. If this post is incoherent it's because I am exhausted and incoherent.
  3. Its goal is finish the charge when you unplug (bad for batteries to sit fully charged). At night it has learned your usage patterns and knows you aren't going to unplug until you wake up, so it slows the charge so it won't be done until close to your wake time. In the day it assumes you are in a hurry and need to charge quickly, so it charges at full speed (also bad for the battery.)
  4. Other than an extra charger, it's not like the battery takes up any more space. Choose the best tool for your job! I mix 3 brands for that reason.
  5. Forget the brand. Each brand is "best" at different specific tools. DeWalt has the current strongest impact wrench and the best inflator. Milwaukee the best 12v cordless ratchet. Sone brands don't make specific tools at all, like a multi-laser level. Really need to fit your specific needs.
  6. If the guy is married to an American he has a faster track to a green card which would solve the issue easily. Question would be why hasn't he already done it?
  7. Definitely not a MSRP market for most cars, and 0% financing offers are steadily increasing. The reckoning is coming.
  8. So much this.
  9. Another vote for Arcadia, sounds like a great fit for you. And start your way down this list. Chicago Hamburger is one of my personal favs. https://www.azcentral.com/story/entertainment/dining/2024/01/03/best-restaurants-in-phoenix-2024/72004165007/
  10. Always enjoy your posts. Bag tags I leave on their backing paper and tuck in my wallet next to a credit card.
  11. Return it and get a couple Miyabi. Higher end Miyabi may not be a great value but is good product. Sucks because Kramer's early collabs were genuinely well made craft knives, many still hold higher resale today. This was just a money grab.
  12. Fuck you HP!
  13. Wagyu will cook faster than "regular" beef, just be ready.
  14. It's only gay if your balls touch.
  15. You can just make chicken fajitas!
  16. The Audi.
  17. Eh, those two are easily misheard over a crappy phone, I'll allow it.
  18. There are a couple YT reviews of this. For the money it's damn good. I ordered one a few days ago.
  19. Genuine lol. Ok. Fuck I don't even drive through Scottsdale if I can avoid it.
  20. Oh trixie
  21. Those are cheap stamped Henckels, you can tell bc the logo is a single person and not 2 people side by side. That said, it's at least a Victorinox equivalent in quality and steel, and better balanced (and better looking). Street price is about double a Victorinox.
  22. Go to Fredericks of Hollywood to find the lingerie photos you're looking for.
  23. If you have questions as you move, feel free to message me.
