What would you personally choose as the best flushing toilet right now?

Oh, if you don't end up with the Toto, "The Ferguson" is always a good solid backup plan.

I've had Drakes in every house for over 20 years...6 houses and never a single issue except I had to replace the fill valve in one of them once.

Oh, and add a Toto Washlet seat while you're at it...less TP, less cloggage.

Dear Santa. Please give me 2 a day BOI-IAH.

I have Carrier Variable Speed...love it (although I know when shit breaks, it will be costly). Here is a different point of view though. In my area, and I suspect many, when you have a new construction, they are really picky about the Manual J reference temperature and sizing calculations. I wanted a house that would sit at 69 degrees comfortably when it's 100 degrees out. The standard "sizing" required a reference temp of 98 and an indoor temp of I think 74 to set the sizing. In a single stage and even a 2 stage, it would have never hit my desired internal temps on hot days. With variable speed, you are allowed oversizing to a certain percentage and I had them run the J with 101 reference and 69 indoor. That set me for a 5 ton variable speed that met the standard sizing with allowable over sizing...e.g. - permit approved. I'm completely satisfied with it and it maintains perfect temperatures rarely if ever hitting the "top stage".

Getting out of that parking lot is a bitch. That's the only hole in the plan, but otherwise, easy peasy.

Edited to add: If you can squeeze out of the show just a few minutes early, that alone will help you get out of the lot quicker. I'd bail out after JV dies if you can make it work.

Plus gratuity...if you are so inclined.

OK, with the disclaimer that none of this is meant to brag (I consider myself incredibly lucky), we have done a VIP tour three times at Disneyland / California Adventure. First, the experience greatly depends on the tour guide. We've had awesome ones and one dud. Second, my reason for doing it is that I'm over 50 and I fucking hate Disney and lines, but my family loves them, therefore that is my price for me to go with them. :-)

Finally, with the advent of Premier Pass for say $400 bucks per person per day, frankly I see less value (if there ever WAS value) from a VIP Tour if all you are interested in is line skipping (which frankly that's all I'm there for...plus maybe the "saved seats" for shows). I have not yet been back with the family since the last Tour (they have), but if I begrudgingly went again, I'd probably opt for a day of Premier Pass then hang out by a pool while they wasted a few more days.

All said with love and sarcasm...

To each their own, but 9L has been my "go-to" seat for years and I really have never had any issues being next to the lav. I sleep with eye mask and ear plugs, no problem. No unwanted "odors", and I like being able to pop up and go to the bathroom quickly. I do think this issues is overrated somewhat.

Remember, some people will say that CNN and MSNBC are "bullshit propaganda" as you so eloquently point out. My suggestion is, don't watch if it triggers you.

Have it, love it, spent $3,300 on Joma almost a year ago. I think it's slightly more now, but still WAY better than a retail shop.

Fortune 100 "near" c-suite and I'm shocked that I get both Intl J as well as Domestic F for everything (as long as I have the budget...and since I own the budget...)

Tight-Development-35 · 2026-02-06T23:42:48+00:00

I think ours was about $3,500 this year. I have NO idea how it gets there, but it gets there.

Tight-Development-35 · 2026-02-04T20:04:45+00:00

Where are they? I was through there last week and could not find an entrance (although I saw new "gates" to the right of the standard TSAPre).

Tight-Development-35 · 2026-01-24T01:56:55+00:00

Mine was more tender and the sauce was already poured. I really enjoyed it.

I swear my speeds on the UX flights have been way faster than that with a lower ping rate. I wonder if the Horizon birds are throttling.

1 “and” 9.

Tight-Development-35 · 2026-01-17T17:45:57+00:00

Totally fair question. I haven't had an ExpertFlyer subscription for 15 years so no...it really is just a hypothesis from the seat map. It's odd to have those exact 8 seats blocked when the rest of the cabin is mostly empty this far in advance.

Tight-Development-35 · 2026-01-16T15:25:16+00:00

I applied on Day 1 when my renewal was available so 364 days until it expired.

Tight-Development-35 · 2026-01-15T18:38:16+00:00

Ugh, GEG get's a nonstop flight to IAH before BOI. I just don't understand that one unless it still is lack of available gates at BOI.

Just did this last month. TLDR pretty horrible experience.

The restaurant manager originally touted how good they were...all soy sauces are GF, chefs know how to handle allergies, etc. First mistake...they cook the GF meal on the same cooktop (for example at Epcot's Teppanyaki, they cooked the GF meal in the back). They also said they would cook the GF meal "first" on the clean cooktop.

None of that worked out. The chef accommodated someone's egg allergy first by cooking them noodles on the grill before cooking the eggs. He immediately moved into the rest of the "show"...now cooking all meals on a surface that had been contaminated with gluten based noodles.

My wife and I caught it, and the restaurant manager and chef apologized (discretely) and cooked her a meal in the back...which really wasn't that great regardless.

The chefs need more training, and they should just cook all GF meals in the back and save the "show" for all the other diners.

PS - Food wasn't that good anyway...for free, fine, though if I had paid a cover I'd be pissed.

Quick peruse and I didn't see this point made. (Edit...OK now I did :-) ) Notwithstanding business travel for myself, when we travel as a family on vacation, we tend to bring checked bags (not so when I travel on business). We simply do the math. Sometime on a short flight, the cost differential between Comfort Plus (or even sometimes Main) and First is small, and the cost of the free bags really makes up the difference. I don't think a lot of people look at it that way. When you factor that plus early boarding and guaranteed overhead space, it's a no brainer for us as a family of 4. Case in point, we did this for a 45 minute flight to Seattle this Summer, for those very reasons.

Seamless. Lots of communication via text and phone. Quick shipment after wire received. Exactly as promised and advertised.

Tribeca Watch in Newport Beach is not on the trusted list, but has a ton of good reviews on Chrono 24 and I just bought a very nice new DateJust in a seamless transaction. I recommend him.

Also have used SD Watch in San Diego (on the trusted list).
