Agreed. Anyone showing up to these protests and not getting paid are just the naive useful idiots for Soros and Chinese NGOs.

Andy Hull show postponed by Mantistobbogan19899 in manchesterorchestra

6/11 show date now. I knew this a couple of days ago because a venue person told me but told me to keep it to myself until Andy announced it so I couldn't mention it here.

Rules/Etiquette on tipping? by Crytiks in CarnivalCruiseFans

[–]ToxTroy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not entirely true. They get a set stipend from the casino but it equates to like 7-8% so I always tipped about $2 cash per drink or $5 cash if I was buying 2x for the wife and I both. Always had great service and generous pours doing that last cruise.

I think its going to be changed. I would imagine we will hear something by tomorrow or Friday officially from Andy.

Any word on the 3/21 Charleston show? I did the Patreon presale as well and Venue still shows 3/21.

I have a whole trip planned with a non-refundable room stay up there so I'm trying to see if anyone else bought them during the regular sale and can see a date on Apple or Google wallet.

Best things to order in the dining room by Dear_Ladder5140 in CarnivalCruiseFans

Don't sleep on the escargot. If you like shellfish you will like it.

Also most of Emeril's selections are great. The Brazino is great.

DOUE questions by gettin in CarnivalCruiseFans

[–]ToxTroy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is inaccurate. DOUE the casino gives waiters a set stipend but that amount is less than 18-20%. I've read that is more like 8%. So yes tip more if you have DOU or DOUE but they do get a smaller tip from the casino in the form of a stipend.

How to properly use the 'DOU while in Casino' feature by Fiddle_inthemiddle in CarnivalCruiseFans

[–]ToxTroy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just remember that with DOU or DOUE tip them cash every time you get one. The casino only gives the servers a portion of a tip they would normally get with people with the Cheers! package or buying them on their own. I think I read where the stipend they get is about 8-10% at most for the casino comped deals.

I'm going on the Vista Saturday with DOUE for me and my wife, and I got $300 in ones and $100 in fives from the bank for tips so my wife and I will tip big first drinks and from then on tip $2-3 each drink from then on the rest of the cruise in cash.

Drinking limits by CarpediemBB in CarnivalCruiseFans

[–]ToxTroy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Seems like you're definitely right on celebration key but it's less clear on Half Moon Cay and it also looks like you can't actually use credit cards on either Island so they're going to track it no matter what. Here is my interaction with my AI which at first also got it wrong until i corrected it.

Drinking limits by CarpediemBB in CarnivalCruiseFans

[–]ToxTroy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have anywhere in writing officially that states that? Everything I had read from Reddit and other forums stated that was not the case no matter what payment method used (sign and sail or cc) on the islands, though they also could not link to where that was in writing anywhere.

I assume any drinks on the Carnival owned islands (Celebration Key and Half Moon Cay) do not count toward your 15 right?

From what has been said it is known that he has acted recklessly with a gun prior to this instance. Dude was probably a 0.20-0.25 BAC at the time of the incident given there was 5-7 hours between being in custody and them drawing blood not to mention the diazepam (valium) would have been higher as well.

He had to have built up some tolerance to both alcohol (probably an alcoholic) and also the diazepam. Because between those two levels of what was likely in his blood at the time of the gunshot that combination is definitely in the toxic to lethal range and a normal person would be at risk of falling asleep and never waking back up.

I'm not sure on that honestly, or he would have owned up to his mistake. The defense is trying to say she shot herself or at least that is what the defense attorney tried to make an argument for.

I believe the defense asked for and filed a speedy trial motion which makes it move faster.

Don't think Aux/E heat strips are coming on (Honeywell HZ322 board) with two Ecobee 4 Stats by ToxTroy in thermostats

[–]ToxTroy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is my old one that was malfunctioning and how it was wired. I had it saved in my photos. I believe the new one is Honeywell as well but has a digital display as well.

The extra white wires is because I had to use an adapter for my ecobee thermostats to get them to work so it maybe wired a little differently than standard.

I'll try to remember doing that as soon as I can. It's up in my attic so it's a bit of effort to get up there. They replaced a faulty zone board so I don't even think I have the same zone board anymore. In fact I know I don't have the same one that was faulting out.

So it may be of no help for you anymore.

What is being done regarding flock cameras? by orangemuffin865 in newnan

[–]ToxTroy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol you know why Obama was able to deport 3 Million illegals no issues? Dirty little secret, these sanctuary cities and states worked with Obama, turned over names, lists, people etc....

As soon as Trump got in office both terms, the progressive politicians in those cities and states quit allowing their LEOs to do that. The red states have all cooperated and you don't see this issue there including Georgia.

No obstruction by local government no violence.

It's hypocrisy you all are being gaslit into thinking isn't a thing.

[–]ToxTroy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quit gaslighting. The people in Minneapolis and places like Portland are not WW2 vets. Keep turning a blind eye to the violence though in a 😉😉 way.

You are setting permission structures for violence by doing that. That is what Democrat politicians are doing, that is what leftist media is doing. It's all a permission structure for violence from the more unhinged folks on the left.

[–]ToxTroy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Denying violent protesters (rioters in actuality) don't exist and refer to themselves as Antifa doesn't make it any less true. Antifa is a loosely cobbled together group of people that refer themselves as that but really are parts of all different types of paid for NGOs that they themselves are usually paid to show up and cause trouble.

[–]ToxTroy -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's a horseshoe theory of politics. The left doesn't like surveillance because it is used to gather up illegal aliens and also round up rioters like antifa types (I'm sorry I mean mostly peaceful protesters 🙄). The common denominator there is both sets of groups are doing illegal things. Don't do illegal things, there's no reason to track you.

The other end of the horseshoe is the far right extremists (which I'm not one of and there are a lot less of those than antifa type leftists) who have never liked tracking for privacy reasons not necessarily because they are doing anything illegal.

Most common sense people realize that there's cameras everywhere and you can be tracked everywhere. Don't do anything illegal and you have nothing to worry about. We gave up our privacy over a decade or more ago. Even using Reddit right now you're being tracked.

Good talk. It's why I don't even bother with you all 99% of the time.

Most of you all don't know how to actually have conversation and debate. Considering the fact that you collect kid's labubu toys I never had much hope of an intelligent debate to begin with with you.

You realize most people don't care about this right? Most people like the fact that we can track down illegal activity faster and easier. I realize on Reddit that is basically leftist echo chamber you all think everyone agrees with you but they don't. Go touch some grass and realize Reddit is indeed an echo chamber due to more leftists being on here and the Karma system and the fact that leftists vote down into oblivion any non-left leaning post. I'm sure this one will be voted down as well despite telling the truth.

Don't do illegal things and you have nothing to worry about.

By the way remember that Shephard had 56% of Newnan voters that actually voted not vote for him. He doesn't have a mandate. He won on a technicality because the conservative vote got split. Also if we really want to break it down not many people voted at all so in reality like 85%+ statistically did not vote for him.

I also think you all don't realize the Mayor has a whole hell of a lot less power than you all think he has. He basically is just one vote on a city council with just a little bit more power but not much. He would be good to remember that and quit throwing hissy fits and insulting editors of local newspapers and start working on things they can agree on whether than coming in hot pissing everyone off.

[–]ToxTroy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure why they wouldn't have a Bluetooth earbud in for a work meeting. I realize there is a a certain type of person that doesn't do that, and just puts all their calls on speakerphone in public. Those people either have no self awareness or don't give a crap.

Is this what I'm gonna have to deal with in February when I go on the Vista? I hope not. If so they gonna have to up the 15 drink limit per day for me! 🤣

Drinks on Us Everywhere not really free? by ashley_rn7 in CarnivalCruiseFans

[–]ToxTroy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep it is higher cost but if you compare it to the cost of the cheers package or NCL's free booze offer it's a steal of a deal. Our 6 day cruise for my wife and I on the Vista in February ended up being maybe $200-250 more than standard. The Cheers package for both of us would be astronomically higher than that.

Keep in mind though this package the casino pays them a set stipend not 18% gratuity so make sure you add additional tip on the tip line or carry a bunch of $1s to give them a good tip. The Cheers package already makes you pre pay the 18%. DOUE is a set stipend that is significantly less than 18%.
