+1 for this. (this is a must)

+1 for this as well.

Also, try to loop in Horseshoe Bend in Page, AZ. They has a Texas-style BBQ place that was pretty good in Page. The local Mexican restaurant (El Tapatio) was surprising very good as well.

My wife and I are looking at going the same time but I am having a hard time pulling the trigger on flights.

They seem to be just exorbitant during that time!

re: Better Fireworks - L'Auberge Extravaganza or WBRZ's Fireworks on the Mississippi?

Posted by Roy Curado on 7/4/26 at 1:04 am to FCP

I went to the L'Auberge fireworks show last year and spent 1 hours trying to leave the parking lot because they didnt care about that part.

Will not be back this year.

Except the people that you elect regulates the max amount of profits they can make and in unregulated, more open markets, they are less capped on those profits...

Which would you prefer?

Marriott Marquis Downtown Houston has a lazy river in the shape of Texas. I believe they offer day passes to their pool areas.

That is correct.

Every utility passes down costs to their customers. Just like every other business...

I love when people make a fool of themselves with this statement.

Entergy is not like any other utility or service that is fee-based per month. Electricity is rate-based on your usage. So when you are not using Electricity, you are not charged for it (whether it is your fault or Entergy's).

You cannot request a refund for something you never had or paid for. For cable, you pay x$ to get cable for your entire billing cycle. Your fee is set for that cycle, that is why it works for services like cable.

Call around and find the best price.

They will all have decent customer service but the pricing will be different.

Like 1 initial upfront fee and then quarterly payments of like $100-$200.

Any of those $500 "home protection warranties" are a total scam.

Get an equipment breakdown rider on your home insurance policy. $500 deductible and they replaced my entire garage door a few months ago with just 2 pictures.

re: Gun Shows - good, bad, tips?

Posted by Roy Curado on 6/26/26 at 10:21 pm to nukelaloosh

99% of new guns are going to be MSRP or higher.

You will find the deals in used guns that are gona be banged up and scratched.

Gun Shows are good for people that have a budget and don't know exactly what they want or for those that find guns cool and seeing a whole bunch to pick up and look up in 1 area.

Can also do some trading if you bring a stick with you.

I hate to admit it but this was one of the best things my dad did growing up.

He boiled them in a pot of water for however long it took to get them fork tender (he added a little crab boil to the water). Then he would slather them up with BBQ sauce and grill them on high heat. I havent had them in years and kinda want to do it myself in remembrance of him lol

People fail to understand that this is our generations nuclear arm race. We do not want to lose to China with AI.

AI enables EVERYTHING at a much faster and more autonomous flow. China attacking our supply chains, networks, critical infrastructure??? Think how AI can enable them to do even more and go further...

I really like using my Air Pods Pro 3 for cutting my grass. They are on sale right now for like $180. Id grab them at that price. They frequently go on sale for $200-$230.
