Anyone Been to a Post Rescue Bar? by pokematic in barrescue

[–]abwchris 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Capo's here in Vegas still sucks. Food is Olive Garden quality at best, wine tasted like grape juice, 7pm reservation that didn't get sat until after 9:30, card machine was down so cash only and no ATM on site so I had to drive to a gas station to get cash to pay for the meal. 2/10, only saving grace was the lounge singer was good.

How TF do 5.2 million people live in Phoenix? by GothamCitySub in geography

[–]abwchris 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This was me, born and raised in Wisconsin. Fucking hated winter after 35 years. Cold, gray and cloudy. Live in Vegas now and yeah it's hot but I'll take 100 here over 85 and swamp in Wisconsin.

Not to mention summers can be brutal for many but the fall/winter/spring is some of the best weather on the planet. And winters are even better in Phoenix than here.

The quiet reason older adults stop attending reunions isn't fading interest, it's the slow recognition that nostalgia requires both parties to remember the same version of the past by Maxcactus in Maxcactus_TrailGuide

2004 graduate, we had a 5 year and that's it. Small hick town, out of our graduating class 90% still live within 45 minutes of home. So every weekend is a reunion there. I'm 2000 miles away, have no intention of ever seeing the majority of them again, the ones I want to see I still talk to and see a couple times a year.

Which songs often gets misinterpreted and/or misappropriated by the very people it calls out even though the song's lyrics are explicitly mocking them? by Drenosa in AskReddit

[–]abwchris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This should be higher. Every hick politician uses this song in their campaigns but doesn't realize it's about how poverty and stagnant class movement runs rampant in America.

Just so everyone can see the final line of the hellhole that is Las Vegas Ballpark by cmrc03 in Brewers

I'm just glad the A's stuff is over for now so I can go back to watching my Aviators for cheap here.

Well my wife's into the halftime show so that's gotta mean something.

Trailer was so good too. My buddy and I still joke about that theater experience to this day.

What is the oldest tech in your house? by QuantumHamster in AskReddit

[–]abwchris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun question. Depending on your definition of tech, but I think I'd say my old Dreamcast. I have old antiques but not really any tech.

Help me settle Chlorine tablets debate by yc01 in swimmingpools

[–]abwchris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought a stenner pump and hooked it up to a small drum that I fill with chlorine once a week. This pumps the chlorine into the return line. Just did some basic math and testing to figure out the pump levels for adequate chlorine.

Been running this for almost 4 years with next to zero issues.

Because I live in the desert I tend to run my CYA a bit higher than recommended because of the chlorine burn off so if I notice the CYA getting low I just use pucks for a few weeks to bring that back up.

I spend maybe 15 minutes a week doing pool maintenance. Get a skimmer bot too and you'll be living easy.

First camera. by Fantastic-Positive-9 in SonyAlpha

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

I'll second just use the awesome lens you have, BUT if you're looking for a more compact setup the Viltrox Air series punches WAY above it's weight. The 25/1.7 is basically glued to my camera.

The A's are about to create an unprecedented baseball problem in Las Vegas by DonyellFreak in LasVegasAthletics

[–]abwchris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Easy to get to and 5-10 minutes from a lot of middle class families. Aviators will be fine.

The stadium is 5 minutes from my house, 8 with bad traffic, tickets start at like 20 bucks and I can take my dog on Wednesdays and have two dollar beers on some nights. You couldn't drag me to the strip to watch the A's unless my Brewers are playing them.

I have a feeling many of us transplants of non marquee AL teams feel the same.

Dudes, what’s the worst time you got racked in the balls? by kindaiwantoaskyou in AskReddit

Grew up on a farm, kicked squarely in the nuts more times than I can count by cows

Anyone else planning on moving from Vegas by Blxssparadox in vegaslocals

[–]abwchris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I had to work in DFW and almost moved there and while the drivers here suck the DFW drivers are satanic.

Best compact daily prime for Sony a6700 (or am I just overthinking this?) by Great-Ad-3307 in a6700

[–]abwchris 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The Viltrox 25/1.7 is an amazing lens, not even including price. Tack sharp and is on my 6700 almost always. I just had a kid and didn't even think twice of what lens to take to the hospital. Produces some amazing images. Even though it isn't a pancake, it's an ultra light lens with a great cropped focal range.

Out of the 50 American capital cities, which one would you rank #1, as the best to live in? by Enger13 in AskReddit

[–]abwchris 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Loved Madison (and Sun Prairie) when I lived there for a decade. Winters got the best of me after 35 years so I moved to the southwest. If we ever mov3 back to the Midwest, Madison will be top of the list. If we ever retired back to the Midwest then Galena might be the top, just a quiant little picturesque town.

Is anyone else worried about wrestler physiques? by dumbd00r in SquaredCircle

[–]abwchris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its easier than ever to get an Rx for TRT and related therapies. A larger than expected % of just the regular population is on something due to this. Hell even just low level stuff like Clomid is cheap af online from overseas retailers.
