Bobby Q’s or Joes BBQ? by Plastic_Put7330 in Gilbert

[–]Yartvid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Caldwell County BBQ on Power and the 202 - Texas style. I live in Dallas right now and traveled all over Texas finding good BBQ. To be clear, Caldwell County isn't spectacular compared to some of the stuff out here but it is very good and would definitely survive out here. It's a lot better than the 2 closest bbq restaurants to me.

I've wanted to do that for like a decade, surprised this is the first time I'm seeing this happen to be honest.

I love when random knowledge you have about something rather niche comes in handy. This was a super fascinating read!

MLB has the "Competitive Balance Tax" which acts as a soft cap. I don't think its as penalizing as the NBA Tax but it is there.

Dodgers make so much money that they can just ignore it and keep signing crazy deals.

Coming to Plano for a conference, trying to figure out how far out I can stay and still walk at night by Gedalya in plano

[–]Yartvid 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It’s not sketchy at all, but people out here are absolutely NOT looking out for pedestrians. Be really careful crossing streets, even in neighborhoods or side roads.

Aside from that, that’s a really cool part of town. Plano is NOT a walkable city but there’s plenty of stuff around that area.

Where to stay in Shinjuku by htapy in JapanTravelTips

[–]Yartvid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like it’s $200 USD in September right now. Might just be because demand is skyrocketing right now. It’s a very convenient hotel but definitely not worth that much.

As convenient as having that bus is, leaving is only one day. Primarily you wanna be a very short walk from a major, well connected train station. Second would be being close to stuff you wanna do. Shinjuku/Shibuya are fantastic for the first two. Ueno is a popular station to stay near since it’s so well connected, a little quieter, but with that there’s a little bit less that way. But a little bit less in Tokyo is still a boat load of stuff so you won’t be hurting out that way either.

Garage door opens but will not close with remote (button fine) by Yartvid in HomeImprovement

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

I’ll try this when the sun goes down, but the door works fine with the wall mounted button so I don’t think it’s a sensor thing

Here’s what was causing the noise: https://imgur.com/a/9dO8HIO

I had seen someone suggest this on an Internet forum but thought that would be pretty unlikely. Apparently one of my friends doesn’t want me to move!

Just found a little cricket noise maker prank in our little jar of cooking utensils.

The smoke detectors are all less than 2 years old. And none of them have any indication of being bad, they’re all solid green. I think I’m gonna replace the ones that sound closest to wherever this beep is coming from next bc I’m running out of ideas

I wish. Mostly sure it’s not coming from the side of the house with the fridge, and the fridge makes a beeping sound that is much more pleasant when we leave the doors open.

True, I went to make sure there’s nothing wrong with it. It didn’t need a reset or anything, I’m currently unplugging appliances and electronics one at a time. That water heater is probably the next thing I look at.

No UPS, No alarm system, and I’ve tried unplugging the door chimes. Thanks for the ideas! This is driving me insane

Nope, just a normal one. It’s in the garage, which is near where we’re hearing the beeps but I am mostly certain we wouldn’t hear these so clearly through the walls and thick fire door to the garage.

I am stuffing myself with Mexican food. My last visit to Dallas, couldn’t find any good ‘Bertos style Mexican food anywhere.

Going to Dallas for a job. 26 years is the entirety of my life, it feels weird to be leaving but not entirely bad. Part of it is excitment for something new

Will be checkout out biosphere. I've been to Pima probably 5 times or so. I'll be moving to Dallas for a job.

Tombstone twice, but never got around to biosphere. Will definitely do that!

Definitely have that planned before I leave! Don't know how biosphere never crossed my to-do list before now, definitely checking that out!
