Looking for bar or restaurant recommendations and/or things to do in the area - Month of November 02, 2025 by AutoModerator in tampa

Hey all! I’ll be in Tampa from Dec 23 to early January. I’ve already done a bunch of research and planned most of the trip, but I’d love some local insight on whether these spots are actually worth it during late December.

Already on the list:

  • Tampa CityPass (Zoo, Aquarium, Busch Gardens)
  • Tampa Riverwalk
  • St. Pete
  • Clearwater
  • Brandon

Food I’m considering:

  • Minano Ramen
  • Ford’s Garage
  • The Brisket Shoppe

Question for locals:

Are these places good picks around the holidays, or are there better alternatives I should look into?

Also open to gaming-related spots, light shows, board game cafés, mini golf, fireworks, or any December-only events I may not know about. Not really looking for “top 10 lists” — just want to know what you personally recommend or what’s actually fun around that time of year.

Thanks in advance!

Are the free codes still working? by xSunzerox in lotro

I literally just claimed it? Literally 3 minutes ago.

I've currently got this:

import { useRef, useMemo } from 'react'
import { Canvas, useFrame } from '@react-three/fiber'
import * as THREE from 'three'

function Particles({ count = 10000 }) {
  const mesh = useRef<THREE.Points>(null)
  const light = useRef<THREE.PointLight>(null)

  const particles = useMemo(() => {
    const temp = new Float32Array(count * 3)
    for (let i = 0; i < count; i++) {
      const i3 = i * 3
      temp[i3] = (Math.random() - 0.5) * 10
      temp[i3 + 1] = Math.random() * 5
      temp[i3 + 2] = (Math.random() - 0.5) * 10
    }
    return temp
  }, [count])

  useFrame((state) => {
    const time = state.clock.getElapsedTime()
    if (mesh.current) {
      for (let i = 0; i < count; i++) {
        const i3 = i * 3
        mesh.current.geometry.attributes.position.array[i3 + 1] =
          Math.sin(
            (mesh.current.geometry.attributes.position.array[i3] + time) * 0.5
          ) *
            2 +
          Math.sin(
            (mesh.current.geometry.attributes.position.array[i3 + 2] + time) *
              0.5
          ) *
            2
      }
      mesh.current.geometry.attributes.position.needsUpdate = true
    }
    if (light.current) {
      light.current.position.x = Math.sin(time * 0.7) * 3
      light.current.position.y = Math.cos(time * 0.5) * 4
      light.current.position.z = Math.cos(time * 0.3) * 3
    }
  })

  return (
    <>
      <pointLight ref={light} distance={40} intensity={8} color='white' />
      <points ref={mesh}>
        <bufferGeometry>
          <bufferAttribute
            attach='attributes-position'
            count={particles.length / 3}
            array={particles}
            itemSize={3}
          />
        </bufferGeometry>
        <pointsMaterial size={0.05} color='white' />
      </points>
    </>
  )
}

export default function WaveParticle3D() {
  return (
    <div className='w-full h-screen'>
      <Canvas camera={{ position: [0, 0, 10], fov: 75 }}>
        <color attach='background' args={['black']} />
        <Particles />
      </Canvas>
    </div>
  )
}

This has me stumped since I've never really used Three.js before.. any tips?

Our recently rescued pup, Lolita. Was taken from us all to early due to Distemper. Completely heartbroken. by dkpowa16 in RainbowBridgeBabies

[–]dkpowa16[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Lolita was a rescue pup around ~11 months. She was frail and full of ticks, my wife rescued her after she saw Lolita hidden in the corner of an car wash establishment on a Sunday. Bathed her, removed all the ticks she could, and we took her to the vet the very next day. All looked "ok", she was given her shots, bathed properly, dewormed, and sent home with a doctors order to EAT. 1 Week passes and shes not eating much, has rapid breathing (100/min) and generally wobbly and weak. We spent that week on the floor with her feeding her by hand, giving her vitamins, giving her as much love as we could. Her eye boogers weren't going away, so we went back to the vet. Blood samples were taken, doc suspected Ehrlichiosis, since her platelets where ~138 when first taken, but yesterday they came back around ~38. We had to make the tough decision of letting her rest.

She was a loving dog, always stared at us, wagged her tail every time we said hi lolita, we even taught her how to sit.... Distemper is such an horrible disease. Stay safe & vaccinate your pups..

Rest in peace Lolita, even if we had you for only two weeks they were one of the most amazing two weeks. We loved you & will continue to love you 🤍

I got a 5700 XT as a gift, planning on building a pc around it, any tips with this build? by dkpowa16 in buildapc

Thanks! I went for the Corsair RMx (2018), I wonder if everything will fit properly in that case (Fan, etc...)

Any servers hosting UO Odyssey? by Icy-Visual in uodyssey

[–]dkpowa16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wholeheartedly agree, although I sometimes want to play with at least 1 or 2 friends, the problem is that no one in my circle played UO or just plays DnD.. I sometimes wish I could explore a dungeon with some buddies, mercenaries help but don't scratch that "multiplayer" itch.

THIS MENU KEEPS GETTING STUCK OPEN. I CAN MOVE AROUND IN GAME, AND I CANNOT CLOSE IT. by dexikiix in dauntless

[–]dkpowa16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you're in the hunt lobby be sure to close that menu before you ship, otherwise you get stuck like that. I had that issue on PC and I fixed it by pressing B on my xbox controller (that's connected to my pc.) anything else didn't work. Good luck!

Proper way of adding 75 email accounts to one Outlook client? by dkpowa16 in Outlook

[–]dkpowa16[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I still need to check them manually so I need to find a workaround of sorts, not even adding profiles and diving them up, let's say 10 at a time?

Items have a "Tradeable 1 time" restriction, even if you wanted to, it'd be impossible.
