re: Paging tLesbians of tOT, I have questions about Subaru
Posted by s0tiger on 5/13/26 at 8:42 am to SidewalkTiger
I am on my second Outback and have had zero issues with either.
First was totaled in a wreck (not my fault) where I was hit by a Dodge Ram going 50 MPH while I was at a complete stop. I walked away without a scratch.
Second is a Wilderness with a little extra clearance which makes navigating the backcountry a little easier.
It also helps me stay undercover here in Colorado.

I have had one for about 5 years. No Issues and is much quieter, not that that really matters. I would buy it again.

I would gladly take the 1911 and P38 off your hands if I was anywhere near BR.
I hope you have something that tells you about their history, I bet it is fascinating.

re: What is the funniest text ever sent to you that was meant for someone else?
Posted by s0tiger on 5/7/26 at 10:37 am to Perfect Circle
Email not text, and I wasn't the recipient but it became watercooler knowledge immediately.
Female Army major was a battalion XO and didn't like the battalion commander.
While on staff duty, she emailed the BCT commander with her list of grievances (without ever having talked to her boss face to face).
Unfortunately for her, she accidentally sent the email from the staff duty email account and not her personal email. The BCT commander had a rule that forwarded all emails from the staff duty account to his battalion commanders and CSMs along with some key staff.
She didn't make it any farther in the service.

Mine vents outside through the kitchen floor, but you will have to have the ducts installed.

And the fact that Leia hugged Rey after Hans death instead of Chewie, how did that make it through what must have been 100s of reviews of some sort
Downdraft
We have this downdraft and it works fine. Not as good as a hood, but does the job.
You would need room in the island for the unit, countertop will need to be cut, and the duct and vent installed. Can probably work through basement ceiling.

re: Two days in Boise, Idaho
Posted by s0tiger on 5/3/26 at 8:59 pm to idontyield
I don't think you read the thread before posting. All of the recommendations were to get out of Boise for this two days.
OP is looking into McCall and Stanley which are great for their preference of outdoor activities. They should have a great time at either.
They aren't moving there, so their interactions with the locals will be fine as the main issue is living in a highly Mormon area when you aren't one. They are polite and cordial during the types of interactions they will encounter
The city is safe, so they don't need to keep their head on a swivel and they probably won't have to deal with any homeless beggars.
Despite those positives, I get it. I choose to live in Colorado with a homeless problem, pretty high crime rates and other issues.

You are being intentionally obtuse, but Mario and Sonic are doing fine as well.
If those can bring in an audience, surely star wars can too. Time will tell how the box office compares.

just don’t like leftovers for more than a day or so.
You can freeze and rotate.
It's fine, food costs more now. This is inevitable. That said the choices made to spend more on eating out (which I do regularly), or to waste food by not eating leftovers are choices. We have it better than at almost any point in human history as far as food goes. Society is lazy and wasteful.
I took up cooking during a time in my life when I had two young kids and was working 60 hours a week because it was a release from that and I found joy in creating something my family enjoyed eating. It became a bonding time for us.
No excuses, people are making choices and then complaining about the outcomes
It is absolutely 1/5 the cost. I spend a lot on quality food and don't live in a cheap area.
A $4 box of pasta is 8 servings. A loaf of bread is at least that.
You haven't said how many you are feeding with that meal, but if all you have left after is 1/2 a loaf of bread and some cream and it isn't at least 4 then you are eating way too much.
If you aren't eating leftovers, then that is just your wasteful nature, just don't use all the ingredients at once. And cream is good for a month or so, you can't find a use for it in that time?
This is a laziness issue, yes things cost more now, but it is easy to eat well at much less than restaurant cost.

You and your girl must be really fat if you eat that all in one meal.
All of these prices are based on many servings per item.
ETA: restaurant food is majorly unhealthy with the amount of sodium and additives they use.

I have enjoyed it enough. Like you say, good boy great. I compare it to Man on the Inside (recent Netflix Ted Danson show).
My dad and sister live in the area.
As others have said, the greenbelt is a great afternoon if the weather is good.
If you fish the Boise river is right there and good trout fishing. I am sure you can grab a set up or guide if that's your thing.
If you really have two days to do whatever I am going to recommend two things that are both a two hour drive each way and in my opinion better than anything you will find in Boise (not a dig at Boise by any means).
Go to McCall, especially if you can make it an overnight excursion. Fun small town on a beautiful lake with good hikes. If you want to cut the drive, check out Cascade.
Check out Shoshone Falls, near Twin Falls.
Boise is great with plenty to fill 48 hours, especially if you don't want to spend time in a car, but these are two of my favorite places in the world.

My thoughts are how many nights in a hotel or short-term rental for just the cost of one? Nevermind the insurance, maintenance extra gas, and cost of the camping spot rental.
My parents bought a 5th wheel when they retired and traveled for a few years. They loved it, but there was always an issue that could have been avoided by not having one.

You'll see more the closer you get to Sandpoint, I don't recall seeing much of this even back in the 80-90s. Maybe it's changed.
Grew up near there.
Golf, spend time on the lake, fish, hike. Take a guided fly fishing trip on the St Joe River for Cutthroat trout.
Haven't been up there in years so will leave it to others for restaurant and event recommendations.
Beautiful area, enjoy.

What's the per capita number? That's what is statistically significant since state population varies greatly.

life insurance rates
This isn't my experience. I retired from the Army a few years ago and their term rates for 1M policy on a late 40s guy were less than everyone else.

Rates? No.
Service? In my experience, Yes.
This is mostly my experience, however shopping rates for my college daughter recently and for equal coverage USAA was right there with all the others.
Have made few claims, but when we have support was immediate and didn't result in a premium increase.
My cousin was an appraiser with All State home. I would never go with them based on what she has told me and my experience dealing with them after one of their drivers rear-ended me and totaled my vehicle.
Service is a factor.
