re: Have hotel/vacation rental prices in South Florida always been this expensive?
Posted by baldona on 12/27/25 at 7:38 pm to JasonDBlaha
The allure of south Florida compared to going internationally is that many of those snowbirds go for 6+ weeks. When you are older and need things like doctors, creature comforts of the states, etc that is the appeal. Sure if you just want to go for 5-7 days there’s no issues going elsewhere.
Again though they are snowbirds, generally from after Christmas to April is their peak. You can find great deals in November and December, or last minute. There’s also some areas that only allow 30 day minimums. So finding a hotel there is likely to be pricey. But you maybe able to go just a couple miles away and find it completely different.

Saw some very good flights to BA next year.
You have my curiosity? Where from and what sorta dates?
I’m curious to visit there around Thanksgiving time, it’s late spring there right? Anyone go during November or December? I don’t want to travel when it’s hot

What’s great at a Mexican restaurant outside of the food? They have a band and what not?
I really don’t see how you screw up Mexican to the point it’s bad. It’s like 80% prep and 10% cooking, throw in 10% for presentation or whatever.

It doesn’t sound like that guy is hunting on 2000 acres, so if it’s legit a neighbor likely has it on camera at some point the past couple of years. I know of multiple instances where a giant buck that was 5 or 6 years old is killed and the neighbor hears through the grapevine and shares some pics he’s been keeping secret. If no one else has photos that’s highly suspect.
For being the Christmas season some of you really need to look yourselves in the mirror.

We haven't had a good plant operator pay thread in a while. I'm absolutely shocked Mingo is trolling this.

As said, really no reason to think of this any different than a shrimp fettuccine with different noodles.
I was just in Italy and while I knew this, when you are there you realize that the Italians have a sauce or a dish and then use the best pasta for that. They can be extremely firm on which pasta to use.
Really all you want OP is three parts to this dish:
Cheese sauce
Shrimp
Noodle
I am not one that likes baked Mac n cheese either, so I’d personally make it like I said as cheese sauce (basically a béchamel as pointed out) that compliments shrimp and then add the noodles like you would a fettuccini.

It’s not that I’m worried about the temperature. I’ve got an 11 lb roast and I didn’t want to cook it for too long and possibly render all the fat
Would be interesting to sous vid a bag of trimmed fat at various temps to see what happens
I put anything I want to dry, I especially do this with fish to grill or saute and all my steaks for 2-3 hours plus uncovered in the fridge. Overnight or 2-3 days for a large roast certainly there's no problem. As said, just lightly salted in the fridge to pull out the moisture
You want to prioritize bedding areas, and don’t be foolish in thinking you can get close to them routinely. Bucks are going to want to bed where they feel safe, so are generally unharmed.
I’ll also say that if you use a road routinely, deer get used to things. So driving down a road, using a tractor, etc. doesn’t bother deer if you continue to move and they can ‘get used to it’. If you all of the sudden ride a 4 wheeler or something that will scare them if it’s not routine. Reving engines, etc will also.
Are you moving your cameras around? Don’t just have a camera on a feeder, make sure you put some on trails, especially trails around the perimeter of your property so you can capture what’s cruising through.
Deer will travel for miles during the rut, so if you only had pics during the rut that doesn’t mean your deer are local. Plenty of stories of guys killing bucks that someone had on camera all year 1-2 miles away.
ETA: it’s not the size of your property but making it the right property. You can kill loads of deer on small acreage in the right place where deer just use it to travel through. Obviously having a large enough piece to just hold some nice bucks is preferred, but at 75 acres you can’t expect that.

I’m honestly trying to think of why he is removing a mag with a chambered round? Especially with the safety on? ETA: safety off I meant
I can see in a hunting situation if you fired multiple rounds and need to reload the mag, but still want to keep one chambered. But not at the range or house?
My procedure is almost always unchamber a round, then release the mag. Safety on or off doesn’t matter with no chambered round, and depending on the gun some you have to have the safety in a certain position to chamber/ unchamber.

Biffle discussion starts at 11:30 Opinion on cause. Blames pilot for decision to return.
Dang. Very experienced Delta Pilot error possibly, video basically says it sounds and looks like just a single engine problem on a twin engine plane that can barely fly on the single engine. The crash was likely a stall due to the plane not being able to fly with flaps and landing gear on one engine that was likely not realized until too late.
I guess the suggestion was going to a bigger airport with a longer runway they could have just not used flaps to land faster?
Never. But why don’t you take it to the range and try to do it intentionally, and figure out what’s going on? I’d do that before taking it to a gunsmith.
I would suggest that most not only remove the mag with the safety on, but even more importantly remove the mag after clearing the chamber. Why are you removing the mag with a round in the chamber AND the safety off?
ETA: quite often during hunting season, like turkey season, I’ll clear the chamber and leave rounds in the gun all sesson.

Pavia is a terrible example, where are you going with this? He was a maybe 5’9 0* from New Mexico. He came out of no where. His value was extremely unpredictable.
Why are you guys so upset? The team was 5-7, in this day and age I’d hope we have a lot of players portal. Especially with a new coach.
Going to the portal doesn’t mean leaving 100%.

I’m not familiar with those areas but is baiting really THAT useful along the Mississippi River? I would have thought there would be enough natural food supply that baiting would just be a small supplement?
