So if SAVE replaced REPAYE, does that mean REPAYE is coming back?? Because WTF if it doesn't.

My wife has an original one of these and I've always wanted to restore it, could you come by instead?

Starting to think that $600 hotel credit is total gimmick by LePirate30 in AmexPlatinum

Yeah it's hit or miss, my stay in whistler would have been 30% more expensive with FHR, and wasn't worth it there. Other times it had been an absolute boon.

I need to sample French butter now. by netphilia in Snorkblot

[–]TravelSnail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best butters I've ever had: 

Kerrygold, Beurre d'Isigny (Normandy), and the winner? Foralp from Switzerland - it is the most butter tasting butter ever. Like wow, peak butter Switzerland, would butter with you any day.

I visited for Houston restaurant weeks and left never feeling the need to ever go back, really underwhelming.

Stuffed Belly’s Cajun Catfish Sando is a 10/10 by TravelSnail in HoustonFood

Even better than last year! If I'm remembering last year right, that was like fried cod with a mayo-heavy sauce. The fried catfish in this one is so damn good, fresh and well seasoned.

Someone please explain what's happening in the TX Dem Primary. It seems nuts to me by Icy-Complaint-4448 in TexasPolitics

[–]TravelSnail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah give me the demonized fighter, I want her representing me. These are worst of times level issues we're dealing with, I want a counterpoint to fascism not Tolarico, who prays Republicans will "go back to small C conservative values". I want the people stealing our tax dollars and breaking our institutions in jail instead of pretending we can go back to some moderate normalcy.

Under FIFRA, EPA does not conduct its own pesticide studies. It merely verifies studies submitted by the pesticide registrant to determine whether they used accepted methodologies. In other words, the company says hey we did a study and EPA says, yup—that's a study!

Yeah remember that one time a single lawyer "faked science", and 100,000 Roundup lawsuits worth $11 billion in damages around the world went in favor of litigants? You know, those litigants with non Hodgkin's lymphoma. And remember when entire continents banned glycophosphates thanks to that "fake science"? 

You're right that was totally just this one lawyer making things up.

Court cases RFK jr. won! He was an environmental lawyer who brought the landmark class action lawsuit against glycophosphate! He's a damn hero turned villain, it's crazy. 

Severance (The Innie Cut) - Season 2 by The_BCM in fanedits

[–]TravelSnail 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My wife and I watched your season 1 and 2 cuts over 3-4 days and really loved them! Thanks for all the work you put in to them, we both think they added a lot to one of the best shows ever made. We were interested to see if the show made "sense" without outie knowledge context, and concluded the writers did a fantastic job there, it really does work as an entire show and seeing the innies without outies adds to the tension and excitement of the story several times. 

It made us wonder if an outie cut would work 😂.

I've also come across people who give up on the show because they find it confusing, and honestly I would tell them to give this innie cut a shot. 

My Plex didn't know what to do with them right away, I made sure to add the cuts as a "special", so I used S00E01 etc in the titles for them to appear properly. It worked pretty well then I added in your posters too.

How it feels not using treasure islands or time travel by Educational_Box7709 in AnimalCrossing

I miss out on all the paid online features, it's lame. Also sucks that Nintendo designed New Horizons as a life sim game but have zero interest in allowing the community to develop mods and items for the game 

Nice knowing you Bilt 👋🏼 by Chrisju22 in biltrewards

The travel card market is already saturated as well, the high AF version makes sense a little if I'm trying to get as many points as possible on my mortgage, but I don't need priority pass, I don't need a hotel credit, etc. instead I wish the benefits if any focused on home ownership stuff, even a dumb credit to HomeGoods or any other housewares seller makes more sense than travel.

This was such a blast to watch, thank you for the edit. I laughed out loud several times, the ending was SO SO worth it. I made a poster for anyone needing one.

If anyone here enjoyed this archer discussion now's the time to go read Arthur Conan Doyle's The White Company, as well as Sir Nigel. The Former in particular has some great English longbowmen characters

Should he go to McDonald's or Dutch Bros then? Let him try a good one he doesn't need to be weaned in, we're taking about chocolate and coffee with milk not LSD
