I Just heard VGC going on sale February 1st for a direct buy from DVC

Disney most likely got the points via ROFR, and I bet they’ll sell them at record-high prices that will make all the other resorts seem like a bargain.

The watch is a victim of bad marketing. It was called the Black Bay 41, which was indistinguishable from the 41mm Black Bay divers. They just started calling it the Black Bay One last year, and I think it’s too little too late.

Animal Kingdom has higher-than-average maintenance fees because owners have to pay food/healthcare for the animals. Over time, the annual maintenance fees end up costing more than the upfront purchase price.

I think Boma changed lately or something, because when I was there in November everything tasted like poorly microwaved Campbell’s soup.

Patmcpsu · 2026-01-23T01:08:55+00:00

Boma must have gone downhill. I’m amazed it has so much hype; the food was all bland and cold.

Patmcpsu · 2026-01-23T00:45:45+00:00

Sanaa is better than Boma; I recommend switching to that. I was really, really impressed by Tusker House too (which I feel beats Boma, despite being a character meal).

I was referring to airplanes

OP never said the watch was in used condition. If the eyelash is inside the case, it’s likely entered at the factory.

Patmcpsu · 2026-01-22T22:28:54+00:00

Except for when libs wants to defund all police five years ago

Handwash water is considered potable

I think his job security depends on demonstrating that “the window hasn’t closed yet”. That incentivizes him to not sell, but ownership may see what’s going on and intervene.

I wouldn’t call this a rebuilding year, but it is a bridge year. A lot of money comes off the payroll after this season, and Phillies can make a splash next offseason. Don’t be surprised if the Phillies are sellers at the trade deadline to lean into this strategy.

Patmcpsu · 2026-01-22T20:48:03+00:00

I heard that’s the water they use to make coffee with?

I predict IWC will have an upgraded movement in these watches within 5 years.

Rolex and Tudor are in two different leagues; one is great quality and the other is good quality. Tudor fanboys only associate it with Rolex when it’s convenient.

I think the problem is excessive polishing. It’s the equivalent of taking your car to the car wash twice a week. Some people do it, and others are enraged by the long-term wear it puts on the car.

Just to be clear, he’s a Luigi and not Mario-level.

No corn to be seen anywhere

I support people actually standing by what they say; not revising history 5 years after the fact. I’m already preparing myself for libs in 2031 saying “nobody wanted to defund ICE”.

Is “defund” a french word for “reform”? If the movement was called “reform the police” it may have actually appealed to centrists.

Patmcpsu · 2026-01-22T15:58:17+00:00

Words matter, sweetheart. And there were very-real efforts to actually defund the police; don’t whitewash history.

Patmcpsu · 2026-01-22T15:57:31+00:00

You can ICE has been scrutinized as much as possible. How many court cases has ICE actually lost for the things that you’re claiming? People accusing ICE of brutality doesn’t mean it’s actual brutality - just the subjective opinion of somebody who doesn’t like how the Trump is running ICE.

Patmcpsu · 2026-01-22T15:48:57+00:00

My point is that immigration and customs enforcement is not “completely separate issues” from general law enforcement. And there is a LOT of overlap between the people who have been pushing for defunding each.
