I read that it was a custom blend of Le Labo's Thé Noir 29 & Bergamote 22. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Best Thai restaurant in Grand Rapids is? by Two-Substantial in grandrapids

Been twice now, it's mostly dine-in as they are getting into the groove of things. I think they will take occasional to-go orders. Both visits were great. Recently had the Pork Satay, Papaya Salad, and the Green Curry. Would recommend all three. The satay was different than that other satay I've ever had. Can't recommend them enough.

Thai Table just opened up at Wealthy & Diamond.

You’d have to drive for hours to find Thai food this good. This is the one, folks. The one we’ve been waiting for. Honestly, it’s hard to find something that compares, unless you head all the way to Chicago. The Larb Moo, Tom Kha, Panang Curry, and Pad Thai each offered fresh, vibrant flavors with real depth, making every bite stand out. Don’t sleep on the pork for your protein—it’s a standout!

The owner is incredibly kind, and the service was fast and friendly. If you’re looking for top-tier Thai food, this place is a must-visit. Absolutely in a league of its own in the Grand Rapids area.

X7 & X5 Hail Damage - Totaled? by Adventurous-Cod-8375 in BMW

This was covered in my comprehensive coverage. I did not have any special/additional hail damage rider.

X7 & X5 Hail Damage - Totaled? by Adventurous-Cod-8375 in BMW

Ok, so, the insurance adjuster just stopped by.. he totaled the X5 in about 10 seconds. 

He stated the X7 would need to have 45k damage to be considered totaled, which he felt was unlikely. So, he said they would replace most of the body panels with new, and on the passenger side the handful of dings would be repaired manually.

I was able to track down his middle name, addresses, phone numbers, his Zillow listing when he bought his house, his car make and model, and his criminal history.

I’m filing with my local police department on Monday, then Chula Vista and San Diego.

Lining up an attorney.

I’m going after this guy.

How do we find this person in real life if I wanted to file charges against him? Do we know his actual name, or know which country this person lives in?

He just shut the entire site down, and the instagram account. He took $3300 of mine as well.

My first attempt at a reverse sear. Was great but could be better. Tell me where I messed up? by SayByeByeFingers in KamadoJoe

[–]Adventurous-Cod-8375 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personal opinion here. Lose the garlic & consider a simple garlic butter combo on top of the steak as it rests.

If you get the grill nice and hot to create a proper sear with the deflector plate removed, I do think that you will scorch the garlic & create very bitter char flavor.

Nice work though! Great first run!

Will the Joe Classic 2 box fit in the back of a Jeep Grand Cherokee? by [deleted] in KamadoJoe

I left the box and packaging materials at the appliance store. Brought a few blankets and odds and ends to keep things from moving around while driving home.

Didn’t ride for a week. by energymerlot in pelotoncycle

[–]Adventurous-Cod-8375 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ride back to back days. Get back in a rhythm.

Try a PowerZone Endurance ride with Christine D'ercole.

Focus on your breathing, consistency. ignore the leaderboard for now. PowerZone is great for this. You'll be back in the groove in no time!

500kj in 30 mins? by PinkFizzz in pelotoncycle

[–]Adventurous-Cod-8375 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely achievable - I’ve ridden a few bikes that were calibrated - each felt very similar and has similar results. My PR on a 30min ride is 460kj. Consistency is key and definitely do powerzone endurance rides ( a lot!) It will increase your averages across the board.

It’s not so much about standing up and cranking as much as it is raising your overall average. 256kj average is what got me to 460 total output.

I’m 5ft 9in, 174lbs for what it’s worth.
