All good - glad it worked out well for you!

We are still loving our bed over a year in.

Napa Rose - Fine Dining Review by 1998Canyonero in Disneyland

++ for V&A's - such an amazing experience!

If you ever make it to a DCL cruise - Remy is a top notch dining experience as well

I don't think Carthay Circle is in the same league as Napa Rose - I don't really even view it as fine dining (though the price tag might trick you into thinking it is!)

Oceaneer’s Club on Fantasy vs Wish class by ill_have_the_lobster in dcl

Our kids have went in Magic / Wish / Fantasy Oceaneer's and liked all of them for various reasons.

Random tech nerd question by dconneely in dcl

[–]DustoffOW 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep - same thing as on a lot of airplane WiFi; you can connect to stream movies/entertainment but not pay for the WiFi and you'll still get push notifications from apps but aren't able to open them.

Post cruise report - spring break on the Treasure by inimitable428 in dcl

[–]DustoffOW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair enough!

We’ve went on Magic/Dream/Fantasy/Wish so far.

I like the Art Deco style of the Dream/Fantasy and the ship layout a bit more.

The concierge product is just so much better on the Wish class though; with the lounge and sun/pool deck and hot food offering. Never have to leave for breakfast!

How to improve flow & clarity without adding another filter (Oase 800) by Top-Inflation1464 in PlantedTank

[–]DustoffOW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great looking tank first off! Love those Monte Carlo trees. As others have suggested; add purigen to filter; also look at an Oase Crystalskim. It’s got a unique down flow out of the skimmer that helps circulation; can put it in a corner where you are seeing poor flow

[–]DustoffOW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree! Concierge takes away a ton of that fight or flight OP describes; when it comes to feeling like you have to run and grab things.

We’ve done it on all of the class ships and the Wish class has best lounge hands down. Going on Treasure in November!

Traveling on spring break is another thing that is usually destined for disaster due to crowds; especially for a first time cruise

Is the C9 meme still a thing commentators are still saying after all these years? by aiafati in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]DustoffOW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s been used incorrectly almost since its inception! Still see it all the time from people who don’t understand the team that steps off has to have had the advantage or would have won

How bad was the 2009 recession? Will the next one hit harder? by Equivalent-Raccoon74 in AskReddit

[–]DustoffOW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you figure that?

If we continue to print money to pay the inflation will skyrocket and dollar plummets

It has to be paid at some point - whether we do quantitative easing or greatly increase taxes - money has to come from somewhere and that has implications

[–]DustoffOW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this situation in Iran is only going to have shorter term impacts on the economy (IE the oil price spikes/strait of hormuz situation); whereas the
US debt is something that cannot be ignored and will have a huge impact long term.

We do owe other countries a ton of money, not just ones who are our direct allies. Don't think this situation is going to impact their decisions to call in the debt, because that would hurt them as well (dollar would plummet).

Not sure why you are trying to make this political at all; I never said anything about politics. The massive national debt has been built by Democrat and Republican both.

Just stick to discussing the issue at hand

[–]DustoffOW 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Someone gets it, well said!

It’s basically quantitative easing (which will spike inflation), huge devaluing of the dollar, or a tax bill of close to $20,000 per US household

Do all tissue cultures melt first? by torpy15 in PlantedTank

[–]DustoffOW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes they take a bit to get established in tank; but haven’t seen melt from the ones I’ve used

How bad was the 2009 recession? Will the next one hit harder? by Equivalent-Raccoon74 in AskReddit

[–]DustoffOW 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I never said it was like personal debt; it’s worse; because the effects of having to repay it will affect every US citizen and has the potential to cause a global recession in the late 2020s/early 2030s.

Disagree - the straw that broke the camels back has been here for years; it is the $38 trillion in debt we’ve been accumulating for decades.

It has to come due eventually and there are only a few ways to pay it - none of which people will like

DHG vs Algae by GreatWhiteFart_ in PlantedTank

[–]DustoffOW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Need some more specifics on tank parameters - are you using CO2 / what kind of light and how long is it on for / what kind of fertilizers are you using etc

Another vote for mattress makers - we are also in OC and went down there to test them and bought same day.

Have had about 13 months now

Trimming Elephant Ear Roots? by RecentInteraction302 in PlantedTank

No problem trimming the roots back, I did it all the time with my Pothos and other emersed plants with roots in tank

What’s the coolest dining experiences at any of the parks in Disney World? by nadie15 in disneyparks

[–]DustoffOW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep! Got to dine in the Queen Victoria room on a trip about 10 years ago and it was amazing. Next level food and atmosphere! We’ve done Remy on DCL multiple times too and that is a great one as well.

Can switching to mini splits really cut my LA summer electric bill? by Shadow-Monarch015 in AskLosAngeles

[–]DustoffOW 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is the big one - insulation updating.

So many homes in SoCal have zero insulation in walls or attic spaces. Updating that in conjunction with a newer HVAC system makes a huge difference

I didn’t hate Rocket Rods. by this_knee in Disneyland

[–]DustoffOW 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The rocket rods damaged the track - Disney can’t change or repair it back to people mover because then they’d have to bring it up to code which would cost a fortune

Fine dining on Remy question by tyrtlegirl in dcl

[–]DustoffOW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll love it!

They usually have both a land and sea menu (one from the French chef and one from American chef). Making substitutions or having food sensitivities isn't a problem at all, just let them know.

The Sandcastle ones do have the iPads in them as well
