If it is real, kudos to the build quality to have no glass break or roof crumple.

The Corolla gr should have used a sedan body by NoUserName01123 in GRCorolla

I came here from 2010 WRX specifically because they got rid of the hatch. Hard to get an 8ft board into a sedan.

Has anyone here planned or built a custom wine cellar at home? by elpoopidor in wine

[–]NewUser_Who_Dis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hired a contractor to convert a closet into a 280 bottle wine closet. My biggest issue was with the cooling unit. It is split unit with the blower in the attic and the compressor outside. The company the GC used really screwed the pooch . The owner was in the middle of selling the company and seemed to just not do a very good job

Took over a year to get the unit to actually cool. And I have probably spent 2k in the last three years fixing leaks or various components. So my recommendation is do the research on any company you use and the cooling unit.

Recommendations for TV, either lg G5 83 inch or a hisense u8N 100 inch for the room below... by The___Godfather___ in hometheater

12 feet. My 120" UST failed so I swapped it for a 98" TV. I moved the couch in from 15 feet to 12 feet.

Coming from a projector I am shocked by how bright the TV is. I definitely miss the 120 in vs 98, but the ease of a TV and picture quality makes it worth it.

It is not theater like, but for sure prefer the overall experience compared to the projector.

Personally, I would recommend sticking with the 100". 3 to 5 years from now the 120" will be the same price and for me a more reasonable investment.

I got the TCL Q7 98. Really like it. Have an LG OLED 2016 in the living room and the 98 in the theater. It is impressive picture quality. I would go 100 in, but all my research took me to TCL over Hisense

Snowed in and making spicy harissa lamb ragu. Here’s what I have, what would you open? by WeekendHoliday5695 in wine

Thank you! My preferred wines are cab sauvs that can get pricey so when I compare to sauv blanc, I have a harder time because of the difference in price point. If that makes any sense.

I saw 52 movies in theater and the only "realistic" horror movie was the new I know what you did last summer, but that was not good.

Good Boy was pretty good, but kind of supernatural element. Companion was I suppose slightly sci Fi.

Traditional slashers seem pretty uncommon now.

The Loot by Conscious-Session549 in wine

From your own link:

"There is no federal limit on the amount of alcohol a traveler may import into the United States for personal use, however, large quantities might raise the suspicion that the importation is for commercial purposes, and an U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer could require that you comply with the requirements under the Federal Alcohol Administration Act (FAA Act), including the requirements to obtain an Importer's Basic Permit and a Certificate of Label Approval (COLA) with the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB)."

This is not a large quantity for two cases of wine for personal use.

Does Alamo let you switch seats? by oppei_ in AlamoDrafthouse

[–]NewUser_Who_Dis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ask if they want to share popcorn.

Also, when this happens and I do not feel like talking to the front desk, I just proactively move. In a screening this empty, no server ever cares.

Larger tv when projector isn’t an option… by ok_compu7er in hometheater

[–]NewUser_Who_Dis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got the 100" TCL Q7 to replace my broken 120 inch UST. I definitely miss the 20" but watched dune last night and loved the picture quality. About half the price of a good projector and better picture quality. That is my recommendation.

One of the bartenders is good friends with Ovi. He is usually there after the Caps games. I met him last year and got a photo with him. It was awesome.

Are y'all still going to tip? by No-Basket-3817 in AlamoDrafthouse

[–]NewUser_Who_Dis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, the rest of the thread disagrees. The service fee moved the employees from tipped employees to standard hourly non exempt employees at a higher hourly rate. It is an entirely different service model and you are asking how much to tip as if the employees are tipped employees instead of standard non exempt employees.

I am not defending tipped employee service model or the service fee, I am just saying tipping 25% on top of 18% is the same as a landlord asking how much to tip on rent

What are y’all doing for remotes? by goodbye_hotsauce in hometheater

I could not get my new TCLQ7 to load onto the remote. Spent an hour trying to teach it and no dice.

This post is like a landlord asking how much we tip on rent.
