We just got back. We stayed at the Hard Rock which is nice and you get express passes to Universal and Isle of Adv with your room. It's worth upgrading to be on the level that has the lounge that serves snacks and breakfast. They also have a shuttle that brings you to EPIC. We spent the money for the EPIC express pass and with that, we were able to ride everything in 1 day.

Agree w/ the poster above, Nintendo was my least favorite "world". Sensory overload but still pretty cool.

We got there for rope drop and went straight to Bowsers Cart ride. We didn't use our express pass, thinking we would ride it again later w/ our express pass. That was our biggest mistake. We didn't care to ride it again and so we never used that express pass. After you ride Bowser's, get in line for Donkey Kong. Then go get in line for Harry Potter. Neither Harry Potter nor Donkey Kong open for early entry and they are your two longest waits. After you get those 3 knocked out, everything else is pretty quick w/ the Express Pass. We spent the most time in Dark Universe and Isle of Berk. The Stardust Coaster was our favorite ride, but I still think Velococoaster is better.

Our favorite rides:
Stardust
Monsters Unchained
Mine Cart
Curse of the Werewolf
Harry Potter (FWIW, I've never watched HP)

We did:

Land in Dublin head to Dingle
Dingle 2 nights
Doolin/Cliffs of Moher 1 night
Ashford Castle 2 nights
Bushmills Inn 2 nights - Northern Ireland/Giant's Causeway/hit the Titanic Museum in Belfast on the way to Dublin
Dublin 2 nights.

Honestly, if I had to cut anything, Cliffs Moher would be an easy choice. It was great trip. Highlights were Dingle and Ashford Castle. I also really enjoyed Giant's Causeway and Titanic Museum.

No doubt! Honestly, i love the hire and LSU finally showing some balls. I didnt know my comment was going rustle jimmies. Just finding humor in an awkward interview.

:lol:, no one is paying me 13M$/y to coach a top 10 CFB program. I dont really care. Just stating the obvious. Havent been on the Rant in awhile. I think it’s gotten dumber.

Looks like me when i’m drunk

I get it, theres a gay kid in it and its a bit over the top, the female government dike is overtop…don’t love those things. It’s still a really fun watch and people bitching, still watching S5 and posting to complain about it on Christmas day are more of the things they hate than the show. Anyway, top 10 for me for sure, closer to 5 than 10. And the way they did Will coming out was way better than i expected.

You can offset carbon, I'll take that over mass amounts of physical waste from plastic bags.

But we're not. There's also concerns over water usage in water stressed areas. You take oil out of the ground and you put the plastic back into the ground. It shouldn't be hard to get plastic bags into a garbage can.....the problem isn't plastic bags....they're a better solution than paper bags.


Because the carrying capacity of a plastic and a paper bag are not the same, the study used the carrying capacity of 1,000 paper bags as its baseline and compared their impacts to the impacts of 1,500 plastic bags. The plastic bags used 14.9kg of fossil fuels for manufacturing compared to 23.2kg for paper bags. Plastic bags produced 7kg of municipal solid waste compared to 33.9kg for paper, and greenhouse gas emissions were equivalent to 0.04 tons of CO2 compared to paper’s 0.08 tons. Plastic bags used 58 gallons of fresh water, while paper used 1,004 gallons. Energy use totaled 763 megajoules for plastic, and 2,622 megajoules for paper.

As a result of the heavy use of toxic chemicals in the process, paper is responsible for 70 percent* more air pollution and 50 times more water pollution than plastic bag production according to a Washington Post analysis, resulting in more toxicity to humans and the environment than HDPE bags. And while 66 percent of paper and paperboard are recycled, the recycling process requires additional chemicals to remove the ink and return the paper to pulp, which can add to paper’s environmental impact.

Not trying to win an argument; just trying to correct a popular misconception. Next, I'll explain why letting Muslims into the country is a bad idea...stay tuned :usa:

I'm here to help. Now think about mardi gras beads :lol:

FWIW, I do agree that consumer waste is a legitimate problem.

You could get a condensate pump and pump the water into a proper drain if you wanted to. That's actually how mine is set up. It drains into a condensate pump and then the condensate pump transfers the water outside onto the ground.

I’m putting a dry bar (no sink) in our dining room. Would like to have an icemaker but there’s no other drains in the room.

Theres a catch basin i could route it to or tap it directly into the pvc which is under black slate rock. How much water are we talking/day. I was thinking less than gallon but sounds it ‘s more than that.

Cut the branches off that are brown at the base. You may have a soil issue if they all are turning brown. If it's a mix of healthy looking plants and dying plants, your best bet is to pull the dying ones....if it's blight, it will spread. I've had good luck with the New-Gen blight resistant boxwoods.
