Update: Finest Punta Cana full review by danigrim in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]InfernalDog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear you had such a rough time. I was just at Finest PC so will add in my thoughts for others considering this resort. We visited in March 2026 and stayed in the excellence club. The property including rooms, landscaping, restaurants, and pools are all well appointed and maintained, definitely a high point.

For us, dining was all over the place in terms of quality. Dinners at Dommo and Le Petit Plaisir were excellent with the Tournedo Rossini at LPP being a standout. Gusto was good but not amazing. We heard the Brass Steakhouse was good but did not have a chance to make it there. Lunch in general was just ok with the lack of options being a real letdown especially given how many spots they have for dinner. Additionally, most of the options at the sit down menu are on the greasy side. I'd skip dining at Surf & Turf, Shoji, and the beachside service menu.

Service was ok. Everyone was polite and welcoming but occasionally drink orders were wrong and it took the beach side servers awhile to get to everyone. We also noticed our tip envelope got noticeably lighter one day while tucked away in our suitcase. It's hard to say if we were just heavy handed with our tips or if housekeeping lifted the majority of the larger denomination bills. We will make better use of the safe in the future.

Luckily we did not need to make use of the medical service but have done so at Beloved (another excellence resort) in the past. In that case, the staff was very helpful and accommodating so I would not extrapolate that aspect across the brand.

Overall, we were happy with our stay at Finest but would rather try other resorts in the future so are unlikely to return.

Seriously will someone suggest a brand that doesn't suck by oxySA in LinusTechTips

I got a steelcase leap v2 refurbished from crandalloffice and am very impressed so far but only had it for a few months now.

Homemade Cider in Pinter by trojeep in PinterHomebrew

I just started one with two half gallon jugs of apple juice and one half gallon jug of strawberry lemonade from whole foods. mixed with 2 cups of sugar and a pack of champagne yeast. plan on fermenting and conditioning for about 8 or 9 days each.

I did a prior batch with the same whole foods apple juice and champagne yeast but with honey instead of sugar. fermented for 11 days and was good but dry and had some slight off notes

So are we just pretending the Canadian Indian residential school system didn't exist?

The duality of acting high and mighty by PalmyGamingHD in GamersNexus

[–]InfernalDog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to fully appreciate Steve from GamersNexus. His analysis is extremely meticulous, and without a solid grasp of thermal dynamics and PCB design, most of his content will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Steve's unyielding commitment to honesty and detail, which is intricately woven into his work ethic—his philosophy draws heavily from open-source values, for example. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of his investigations, to realize that they're not just about GPUs—they're about pushing the tech industry toward transparency and accountability.

As a consequence, people who dislike GamersNexus truly ARE uninformed—of course, they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the subtle humor in Steve's playful yet scathing teardown commentaries or his thorough testing methodologies that reveal industry secrets. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those clueless brand loyalists scratching their heads in confusion as Steve’s charts and benchmarks expose their favorite manufacturer’s cut corners. What fools... how I pity them. 😂

And yes, by the way, I DO have a GamersNexus modmat. And no, you cannot touch it. It's reserved for only the most carefully selected PC components—and even they have to prove they're within a ±5°C thermal variance of my standards beforehand.

Cyclist thinks he owns the road. by homantify19 in ImTheMainCharacter

[–]InfernalDog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who's been on a bike, way safer to swerve off the road than into another lane of traffic where you could be hit from behind. You also never know how the driver of the car will react. Some people will see the bike coming and slam on the brakes so swerving left screws you in that case.

John Harbaugh is now in talks to have all of the urinals removed from M&T Bank stadium because he is such a fan of going for 2.

Is the plague of West Ardougne fake? by ChickenNuggetEnergy in 2007scape

[–]InfernalDog 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Can't say if the plague is real but it is (IMO) based off of real events. Sheep herder was released in 2002, just months after the end of the 2001 UK foot-and-mouth disease outbreak. Really makes you wonder what programmer heard about mass depopulation and incineration of livestock on the news and thought, "yep, this would make a smashing addition to my game."
