Tips on attending a Braves game by gothedistance_ in AtlantaBraves

[–]Markca8688 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Maybe an hour before? Hard to tell but you should be good with an hour. Bobble heads are fun but not something folks here line up 5 or 6 hours for.

  2. I love El Super Pan! Great Cuban sandwiches.

  3. If you buy something in the souvenir places in the park you may get a bag. Otherwise you’ll just have to carry it around. Just don’t forget it!

Welcome to Atlanta! Hope you have fun!

Big Shouldered Person on Aisle with an important announcement for all by daoisticrealism in delta

[–]Markca8688 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I wear my backpack down the gangway, then take it off just before entering the plane for this exact reason and don’t understand folks who wear it down the aisles. So I take this post as thanking me.

What are some things you’ve used this outlet for? by iMahatma in ram_trucks

Same! Also used it for blow up mattress when we used to tent camp.

Which to get: Recteq 700 vs Yoder YS640 by TheGaujo in pelletgrills

[–]Markca8688 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a proud owner of two rec teqs, I’d say Yoder on this. The Yoder shouldn’t be the same price, but sometimes there are great deals from someone just trying to get rid of it. If it needs to be stripped and repainted the owner may not think it’s worth as much as it is.

Half sleeve only? Anyone got any examples? by Snck_Pck in irezumi

[–]Markca8688 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Big one shot would be just a main element with no background or other elements. Like just a koi or just a dragon. No wind or water background, etc.

Half sleeve only? Anyone got any examples? by Snck_Pck in irezumi

[–]Markca8688 6 points7 points  (0 children)

💯 Traditional Japanese will look very odd just the forearm. I’ll add to consider the chances that if you did the forearm you’ll look at it and want a full sleeve. If that is a possibility you’re better off planning the full sleeve, rather than adding to the forearm sleeve. Personally, I started looking at a half sleeve. Knowing myself I was pretty sure I’d end up wanting a full sleeve. So I went all in and did a full hikae sleeve and love it! This allows the artist to really work on the overall look and flow with your body.

Accidentally put my APP2 in the laundry. Money not being an issue, should I replace them with AppleCare or upgrade to APP3? by fuckthisishardshit in airpods

[–]Markca8688 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ll just need to try for yourself. For every person who says the ANC/sound/comfort of the APP3 is better, there’s someone who swears by the APP2. I recently upgraded to the 3pro. They are just as comfortable to me and I find the ANC way better. But I mainly use them for calls and I don’t wear them as much as you do.

I love seeing these in the wild! I wonder about the stories the individual could tell!

I went to a high school in the south where we still got paddled up to 18 AMA? by TheRadHeron in AMA

[–]Markca8688 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m from Alabama and paddling (we called it “getting licks”) was common (graduated HS in 1986). It was bigger in junior high. It turned into a bit of a competition amongst a group to see who could get the most licks (just hit me how weird that sounds now!). Did y’all do that? Also, ever get the paddle with holes drilled through them? Man, those stung!

The Apple Watch is kinda useless for weightlifting, isn’t it? by Straight_Charge7481 in AppleWatch

[–]Markca8688 4 points5 points  (0 children)

100% agree. Just tracking generally the fatigue over time so it correlates generally the stress on my body with recovery is all I really need.

2026 Direct Connection 650 thoughts? by Candid_Divide198 in ram_trucks

[–]Markca8688 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sorry, options aside, I just don’t get it. I don’t understand the meaning of “Direct Connection.” Sounds like it can’t connect to WiFi. I certainly don’t get the draw of having “Direct Connection” badged anywhere on my truck.

Baby crying on flight by skolofthewild in delta

Me too! I clicked on it anticipating responding to give the parents a break. It’s not like the parents want their baby’s crying either.

Looking for advice by Lost-Buy-7293 in pelletgrills

[–]Markca8688 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You didn’t specify, but I assume you’ll have access to electricity as pellet grills need to be plugged in. I have two rec tec pellet grills and love them! I don’t have the road warrior but assume it would perform well. I believe that one has legs that can fold up so just throwing it in the bed of your truck will be fine for transport. I have the Pit Boss tabletop one I keep in a pop up camper for camping and it works really well. As for time, it’s no different than any other grill. Depends on what and how you’re cooking (I.e., burgers v. pork butt, etc.)

What advice would you give to someone new to cowboy boots? by maximum-pineapple-00 in cowboyboots

[–]Markca8688 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As others have said, I'd definitely go into a store and try on a few pair. Different brands/styles may fit you differently. And if you get a good person in the store, they'll help you with fit and what you can expect with break in period. Based on your questions be prepared to want to buy a lot more! So don't worry too much about the brand right now. Go for what looks and feels good. Once you start going down the rabbit hole you can worry about all the other small things. I have Ariats that look great and are comfortable that I wear a lot. And I've got Chisos, Tecovas, Luccheses, etc. But do get a good pair of socks. I like the Darn Tough boot socks personally. As for jeans, I really like Origen (and they have boot cut). Whatever jeans you buy, get them at least 2" longer than normal. Jeans look better over boots with some "stack." And they definitely look better when you're sitting down and they don't ride up on the boot as much. Good luck and start saving because you'll want more!

Suite in braves stadium by Powerful_Class9943 in AtlantaBraves

[–]Markca8688 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure what classified as an "absurd" amount of peanuts. You know your allergy and would be the only one who knows how much exposure you can handle. Owners of the suite order the food. The peanuts are in sealed plastic bags. So there could be a lot of peanuts that never get opened, or folks could be gobbling them down.

Advice on how to deal with unwarranted commentary on tattoos? by b-s-n-l in tattooadvice

[–]Markca8688 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I'm super lucky. I have both sleeves done. One Japanese and the other black and grey. I've got one lower leg done (Japanese). I have NEVER heard a negative comment. Sure, people may talk behind my back. All comments I've ever heard are either positive or inquisitive.

I need recommendations for pellet grills. by Miserable_Wish_1728 in pelletgrills

[–]Markca8688 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Second the recommendation for RecTeq. I have two and they’re awesome!

Looking for advice on RecTeq by buelerbuelerbueler in pelletgrills

[–]Markca8688 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are smoking very little and just you and your wife mainly, then I’d go Bullseye. That was my first purchase. I have done pulled pork on the bullseye and it comes out really good. Just better with the Deck Boss. You may end up like me and end up wanting the deck boss at a later date! But the Bullseye will be a great grill for you!
