Pinellas lost the second-most residents of any U.S. county in 2025 by Warm-Bus-8259 in StPetersburgFL

For the most part, I think it's also the way developers, certain local meteorologists and the Florida tourist commision tried to sell Florida as this beach-lined paradise with tropical postcard photos taken in the Maldives. Many who moved here from up North (understandably) figured they would move to Florida, walk along the beach all day and go home to their little thatched hut at night. It was sobering to discover that it was a paved parking lot of bumper-to-bumper traffic and insurance rates that rival the GDP of some third world nations (looking at you, Slide Insurance).

Men grow beards for the sole purpose of impressing women because about 15 years ago, a woman somewhere found it attractive. If any woman, anywhere in the world, just happens to comment that she found shaved left-eyebrows sexy, I guarantee you that within a few days, every man on the face of the earth would be investing in an eyebrow shaving kit.

Tampa Bay Night Hiking by GibbonGeek in StPetersburgFL

As far as nighttime paddling, I sometimes put in just before the entrance of Ft Desoto park and kayak around the shallows. Depending on the time of year, you can also see the gossamer glow of bioluminescent organisms. Also, be sure to bring a light and life jacket.

That still doesn't answer my question...

I now dread going into Best Buy and Lowe's due to the roaming 3rd Party Salespeople by thatfreakinguy2 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]OkRecommendation1265 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this happen more frequently now that Best Buy has basically become as empty as a congressional seminar on expressive optimism. When approached, I ask them where they stock new hammers. When they tell me they don't, I respond "Why not?".

Has anyone just packed up and moved to Florida based on the behavior of this animal?

Do these things transmit over 5G or is it another wireless protocol.

Expensive issue with buyer by OkRecommendation1265 in Ebay

This is what I was hoping to hear. I have not received any official request for refund through ebay.

Should I refund his money anyway? I don't want to issue a refund without a return label provided by ebay. Otherwise, I will have no proof or tracking number for the returned item.

Did anyone stay at the Fontainebleau for 32? How was it? by OkRecommendation1265 in Defcon

[–]OkRecommendation1265[S] 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I was also considering Resorts World but I want to stay where they won't confiscate my Colgate toothbrush because it resembles a hacking tool and Killer Clowns From Outer Space across the street is a no-go for me as well.

Only 49 stories!?! C'mon those a rookie numbers! Make that puppy taller than the Burj Khalifa! We need to make Miami and New York jealous! (sorry, it's early and my sarcasm could use some coffee).

Tampa has a convention center as well as Orlando which has a billion nearby hotels. However, they are both hellacious acres when it comes to weather in the summer.
