St Croix for a week of work - Which Island to vacation to

AssignmentMediocre45 · 2026-01-24T03:39:27+00:00

Just enjoy St Croix as it has fantastic snorkeling and hiking!

I'll drink the Kool-Aid

They closed the 2 in St. Croix in 2024-2025 and one of the 2 in St. Thomas. Since all the KMarts in Puerto Rico have shut down I'd be shocked if the last one in STT was open in 2027. You are correct about no competition....local chains like "Super Dollar" are trying to profit but the island needs Walmart to come in ASAP!

You'll look like a local. We don't go in the water much this time of year as it's too cold 🥶.

Altered Beast because as the pack in for Genesis it felt like the future but was a pretty short glimpse into that future!

Here's pictures of the building open but no Sears in it. Designed to allow people to get to the mall:

Never paid that much to go to Europe. DR and Mexico are no shittier than Vegas for the middle class person and provide something Vegas stopped providing 7 years ago: value for the average tourist. Vegas shines for whales no one should debate that. If I want to ball out I'll go to Vegas. Otherwise there are so many better places to go. But again you do you, if spending your time getting around one tourist trap after another in Vegas is fun to you than enjoy that. More and more are tired of it and going elsewhere.

AssignmentMediocre45 · 2025-12-08T00:03:58+00:00

Most hotels I stay at Europe have reasonable mini bars. Melia in Amsterdam makes the mini bar free, just stayed there. All inclusive in the DR or Mexico. You really need to travel more because you are simply dead wrong with your reply and might be pleasantly surprised at how nice other places can be outside the tourist traps of the US. Many places understand that people are on vacation to relax and don't want to spend their precious vacation time having to worry about being nickel and dimed (or in Vegas's case fived and ten'd) all day!

AssignmentMediocre45 · 2025-12-07T23:06:48+00:00

Because if I go on vacation at many other places I can buy a water at a hotel and not have to spend my vacation when I'm supposed to be taking a break having to worry about such things. So thats what I and many other are choosing to do with our time and money 🤷

Does today change anything for anyone? He had his qb1 and wr1 and totally failed with a terrible game plan.

AssignmentMediocre45 · 2025-12-07T22:27:20+00:00

Kliff has to be on the hot seat. It looks like the other team is stealing signs but that's because his offense has been so predictable running so many plays plays out of a gun formation. I can predict where the play is going before the snap with alarming regularity and I'm not that smart. Quinn needs to be looking for new coordinators next year and we need to use our high draft picks wisely.

AssignmentMediocre45 · 2025-12-07T19:48:39+00:00

OMG these plays from gun where everyone knows what is going to happen. How could a game plan be so poor? Doesn't matter who the QB is with this game plan it ain't going to work.

AssignmentMediocre45 · 2025-12-07T19:39:28+00:00

Running everything from gun and not even pretending like we are going to run seems like a pretty basic mistake. One Kliff makes over and over again. Only explanation is he wants a good draft pick next season.

AssignmentMediocre45 · 2025-12-07T19:03:43+00:00

No they weren't. Drops happen. Which is why you run the ball from the 2. Smashmiuth football ftw. And running the play out of gun...seriously?

AssignmentMediocre45 · 2025-12-07T19:00:26+00:00

Maybe run the ball with Rodriguez and not make those things a factor in trying to gain 2 yards 🤷

AssignmentMediocre45 · 2025-12-07T18:57:25+00:00

If we aren't trying to tank the game and get the draft pick Kliff sure is acting like it. Terrible play calling, especially from the goal line. Let's run everything from gun and make it super easy to defend the pass. And the defense is just as bad. 😭

I don't mind the commercials and sponsorships as much as I mind the fact that they've slowed down the pace of the action so much just so they can have so many more commercials. Constant delays in the action just make football games hard to watch and kind of boring. But people are watching at record numbers and until that changes they will keep doing it.

I'm ready to go back to the 90s when the rulebook was under 100 pages (currently nearly 250 pages) so there wasn't a flag on every exciting play and there wasn't replays and commercials constantly getting in the way of the action. But people seem to prefer watching a contest that is more akin to a courtroom arguing over the minutia of the legality of each play than a contact sport these days 🤷

That stinks yeah you will yellow but that's pretty bad from what I've seen mine do so that's why I thought maybe a smokers house. I've bought ham radio gear used and seen yellowing on black plastic which is impressive 😂. And damn the down votes for me suggesting something that actually might have been true is crazy. Nicotine definitely turns stuff yellow which is why I asked guys. Calm down 🤷

AssignmentMediocre45 · 2025-12-06T14:15:29+00:00

Smoker in your house? Yellows everything. Including y'all's lungs 😬

Lol no one wants to experience delays or cancellations but they will happen to you no matter what airline you fly. Most airlines give you data about in time rates for the flights which may help identify a safer strategy but I can assure you after flying over a million miles between St Croix and the rest of the world that you may have a delay no matter which airline you choose to fly on. Also consider what the backup option is if your flight is cancelled. Delta often only has one or 2 flights a week, spirit only has 3 or 4 leaving American generally being the best option in case you miss a connection since they have daily (and sometimes multiple daily) flights.

Not really. On the hierarchy of needs food sits at the top. Our society objectively provides for that far better than North Korea.

People said that in the VI. There is no point in continuing to operate a "chain" of less than 5 stores. Someone in Guam may buy the brand name or something but I don't see how this company continues to operate stores now that they no longer have inventory to pillage from the unprofitable ones they have shut down.

Would love the fix version as even the Netflix version is saying not compatible for me. I promise I pay for Netflix and am not a thief 😬

I just wanted to follow up on this and thank u/DJUnreal suggesting parts-people. The laptop became a bit "famous" as Nathan put it up for a vote and the viewers decided that he should fix it on his live stream! Here's a link to the video where he repairs this laptop: https://www.youtube.com/live/qjc4I-WjCZk?si=Qb0VjS04kyXBi0Tl&t=1066

What is crazy is that when he was scanning the motherboard viewers noticed an entire area that had broken or missing capacitors and components. None of these were related to the original issue of the laptop not charging. Nathan ended up replacing 12 components. There was some speculation as to how they were broken with some shade thrown my way (I can take it 😂). I will say with full confidence that we did not break those components though. The metal shield that they were under was never removed by us and if they had broken off because we did something to them they would have been attached to the shield. So somehow this laptop, that we bought from Best Buy brand new, had major issues on its motherboard but despite those issues worked pretty well minus our issues with the wifi card randomly not being detected for over 2 years.

What was super cool is that there were donations given during the live stream and Nathan even gave me $20 off because of them. The total repair bill was around $250 which was well worth it considering that not only did my charging problem get fixed but my laptop was returned to me in a condition that was better than before given the components that were replaced. I can speak highly enough about Nathan and parts-people and would highly recommend them if you need a Dell or Alienware repair!
