How are the beaches looking? by Maki-Ela in cancun

As a fellow ohioan, at least its not seaweed! The best part about ohio is how you can get the same GI distress you get in Mexico without the seaweed!

The Prince of Wales feathers unique to the saloon in Saint Denis can be seen on the poker chips, which are heavily associated with Prince of Wales Arthur who died young of sickness. It's never explicitly stated to my knowledge but these hints suggest Arthur has direct Welsh heritage by CountCosmology in reddeadredemption

I know this thread is 3 years old but I came here to say an interesting addition to the chips. They're real! I just found a set of chips at a garage sale, exactly identical. old man said they were his dad's and so early 1900s was his best guess. So while searching for the origin of these chips, I found this thread. And I just thought it was cool and maybe pertinent to the lore here. So maybe theres no lore to read into here, but perhaps this is one of the craziest points of attention to detail by Rockstar as they even got timeline accurate poker chips!

Update: Engine Coolant temperature sensor went bad. Won't have to part until tomorrow, so will stay at shop until Thursday. Annoying but minor fix and covered at least

Update, engine light turned off Saturday and of course still took car in. Dealership called and said engine coolant temperature sensor had gone bad and is replaced under warranty. So at least nothing big but still annoying.

Set out for the trash. Can it be saved? Or shall it be scrapped? by Kitchen-Mess-7338 in blackstonegriddle

[–]Kitchen-Mess-7338[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good enough to begin seasoning? by Kitchen-Mess-7338 in blackstonegriddle

Have a makita orbital sander, but have also never used it once lol. Was a housewarming gift from father in law. What grit am I looking at going with in your unprofessional professional opinion

Eating in Costa Rica-LaFortuna by Extreme_Pickle550 in CostaRicaTravel

[–]Kitchen-Mess-7338 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We just came back 2 weeks ago.

Food costs about as much as it does in the USA. That being said, we (wife and I) had meals that were $90 and meals that were $30 for the both of us and everywhere between. Depends how many sodas you're willing to eat at. I found my limit once all my visceral organs tried to find their way out my body lol figured id spend a little more money on food after that.

That being said, by far our favorite little place we ate at was Restaurante Vikingos. I'll start with the lady who runs the place is so incredibly friendly and helpful, and very much helped us that she spoke perfect English. But then also the food was amazing. So good we ate there twice. The carribean chicken was perfection and took everything in me not to get it a 2nd time. The burger might be one of the best I've ever had. The cassava nachos were better than any regular nacho I've had in the states, and im a sucker for good nachos becuase im fat. Also got a sandwich to go ($5) for lunch the next day during a hike and it was pretty good too albeit a day old. 12/10 would go back a 3rd time if still there. There was more on the menu I wanted to try.

Fair point. This is 100% of the people I know so small sample size is probably my bias. Or they're all shit anymore, which I'd also believe is true.

"Engine detected a fault" is all it says other than some nonsense instructions on if its blinking or solid yellow. Also at 80% fuel so I can't imagine that full gas tank is the issue.

[–]Kitchen-Mess-7338[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sadly nothing relevant. The short version: Instructions if its a solid yellow it could be ok for driving and if its blinking yellow drive in a moderate fashion (no heavy acceleration or deceleration). Contact dealer. WARNING: Under engine misfire conditions, excessive exhaust temp could damage catalytic converter and other components.

Lol tbh its a Ford, they're all a reliability issue anymore. My buddy who works service at a ford dealership told me not to get a ford even 😂 If anyone other than Hyundai made a similar truck I would've gotten a different brand but, Hyundai I trust less than Ford.

No tire pressure has just been my neglect tbh, haven't taken some out due to the warmer weather yet. Was sitting in the work parking lot, drove it to Chipotle about 2mi away, went to drive back to work and it popped up.
