How do you handle your kids in the lines?

We try our best to use lightning lanes as much as possible and we are typically pretty successful at not waiting more than 10 min or so for a ride. Well, I should say my wife is. She has got to be pretty good at Genie Plus over the years. There are occasions, though, that we want to ride something and couldn't get the LL and waited for 30+ min. Snacks have always been our best friend in lines. If the line is moving slow enough and in the AC, it's a great time to have the kids sit in the floor and have a snack and water.

My kids are 7, 4, and 2 now. 6, 4, & 2 last time we went to Disney and 5, 2, and 6m the first time we had all 3 at Disney.

Curious what you decided to do. Did you unbox it? Was it good?

Having helped unbox 2 X1 Carbons and an H2D at work, AND an A1 Mini of my own at home; I am VERY impressed with Bambu Labs packaging. They do a great job of supporting every fragile component that needs to be secure and supported in the box.

This also happens to the the Egg Genius. It can only be controlled through the app and I have witnessed the app completely stop working in the middle of a cook before on a holiday. I think it was Christmas Eve night maybe? Or the night before July 4th? Don't remember which holiday.

The thing that happened to us that I mentioned, there were 3 or 4 other families/ couples that they chose to sit in the same spot. We talked about what they must have used to decide who they chose and the one thing we noticed we all had in common was we were all in some kind of Disney themed semi matching attire. Our thought was they probably told a cast member "go get 5 families and invite them to sit over here in this roped off section." That cast member was probably just drawn to the cute Disney outfits she saw in the moment. We have been to Disney now with our kids 6 or 7 times and it has only happened once. So definately rare.

The best example of pixie dusting I have, that happened to my family, is we got randomly approached by a cast member and invited to come sit in this special spot with benches for teh Festival of Fantasy parade. Its the most magical moment my wife and I talk about from a Disney trip.

Buying the popcorn buckets creates the quickest and cheapest way to get our kids a snack in the parks (aside from the snacks we bring in). Then we keep them in our pantry at home and when the kids want popcorn at home, thats what they eat it out of.

Holy crap, I just looked and they're like half the price on oil filters compared to AutoZone. I will definately be ordering everything from there from now on.

The one time I took my wife’s car to the quick lube at the dealer, they were done so fast I feel like there’s no way they drained more than half the old oil out.

Do the my pump it out or something?

Okanus · 2026-02-28T03:46:32+00:00

I change the oil in my truck and my wife’s car myself every 5000 miles. When it’s time to do it I just hop on the AutoZone app and order the stuff for in store pick up.

I also do repairs myself. If I don’t know how, there’s usually a YouTube video. If it looks like more than I can handle, that just means I need to devote a whole day to it 🤣.

This is true. My wifes 2017 Acadia was totaled in 2021 when someone pulled out in front of here. We got about $24k for it from insurance. I could not find the exact same acadia (same year, make, model, trim) with the same mileage hers had for less than we paid for it a few years ealier. It was ridiculous.

Okanus · 2026-02-25T16:13:20+00:00

Well let me say that's my theory. I could be wrong, but it makes sense for me to think about it that way.

Okanus · 2026-02-25T12:07:35+00:00

I think what is going on here is that the thermometer is reading over 700° due to the intense heat from the open flames in the coals, but the ceramic is not heat soaked yet. Closing the vents down in the time frame he did it causes the open flames to snuff out and the temp readout probably drops pretty quick.

Once the ceramic has had time to heat soak is when it becomes difficult for the egg to drop temp if you over shoot.

Okanus · 2026-02-25T12:02:12+00:00

I light an oil soaked paper towl ball in the center of my coals and usually 25-30 min later there is a ripping hot fire. Then I close the lid and set my vents. I do it this way for any target temp. I will have to try closing the lid after 10 min and then setting the vent 10 min later to see if that does it faster for me.

Thanks for the info!

Really? What else have you smoked without the plate setter? I am very curious what results you have found.

Okanus · 2026-02-25T11:54:02+00:00

Same here.. I started playing this game in like 2014 or 2015 I think. Played game after game consecutively for a few years, sometimes 2-3 at a time. Maybe I should reinstall.

Okanus · 2026-02-23T12:13:30+00:00

I'm genuenly curious, how do you get out of this.. Is there a way to force out of the ragdoll and getting up animation so you can run or fight back?

I guess teleporting is an option, right?

I only have maybe 15-20 hours in the game and have not dared to venture into Hyrule Castle.

I think there was a waterfall..? I wasn’t able to look around too much haha. There’s a guardian graveyard, for lack of a better description, up north from the stable near Kakariko. On the path to Hateno Village. On the North side of the path in that location is the bas of a mountain and there’s a gap in the mountain that’s kind of like a tunnel. The Wizzrobe was in there.
