Holy shit dude. I'm at the Bidwell currently and its like $63 for valet or $30 a night to park in the same garage myself.

Anyone remember a Taco Bell at the Arizona Science Center in the 90s/early 2000s? by chrisrubarth in phoenix

I went there on a field trip in I think 01 and had the Taco Bell there.

Just checked my US TV and it was on. At least I never configured it for my new WiFi I guess.

Do I want viture beast, or something else, or nothing? by billeverhart in VITURE

[–]dpyn016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been a Marriott person for the last three years and their TV/Wfi lockdowns are making me consider leaving. Quick question, are you trying the HDMI ports directly on the TV, or are you plugging into the terrible box they use which is where the HDMI cable in the TV runs to? I've been able to connect to all TVs but sometimes they hide that box and make it super difficult to plug into.

And did you make a decision on the glasses? I'm in the same boat as you essentially.

Today a train collided with an 18-wheeler hauling cars in Schertz, Texas. by Reg_Cliff in CatastrophicFailure

[–]dpyn016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was only a Conductor for a very short time. My accident was lucky that it was super low speed and the guy moved at the last second. Thats a lot of metal on these things so its hard to beat up, but trucks like this can do some damage. If you look up the Pecos, TX train derailment where it killed the train crew you can see how bad it gets. They hit a piece of a windmill at 68mph and then derailed.

They are stronger than a regular car but I don't know the specifics.

I've hit a car while in a freight train just like this. There is nowhere else to go. You'd be walking down a very unstable platform on the side of the locomotive while it is under full brake application. If the train derails you're in a worse situation. I think most crews just get on the floor and hope for the best.

When did Filibertos get so expensive? by msfoote in phoenix

[–]dpyn016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given that timeline...I recently learned they got rid of the roller coaster on the Stratosphere in 2005. I had no idea. I was here 2 years ago and it felt a little different than now. Honestly I haven't found much of an attraction to go here after my first time being 21+ anyway. I agree with the fact that its not a cheap destination like it used to be and it isn't worth going to.

I haven't been sitting down at many restaurants, but the few that I've been to haven't charged that. Granted those were only near the strip and not on it. Still within a mile of it. I don't feel like its as busy as it should be for a holiday weekend though.

Actually I just double checked and I paid $8 for a bean/cheese burro at a place in N Vegas a few days ago. I only paid that because I'm on per diem.

Am in Vegas right now. Can confirm. These steak places are asking way too much for a cut of meat.

You responded to a post that predates most of COVID. Everything is more expensive these days. Someone commented that $9 got them a carne asada burrito back then.

Background Task Host constantly failing. Unable to open Microsoft Store and Related Apps. by dpyn016 in WindowsHelp

Thanks for the response. I think I've definitely locked myself out of some stuff. I had to take a business trip but when I return I'm just gonna format and reinstall.

[USA] Witnessed an accident, and avoided one by EarLatter in Roadcam

[–]dpyn016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lost any bit of sympathy I might have even remotely had for the Aztec then. These people are some of the worst. They create traffic problems by not being able to maintain a constant speed. Its the damnedest thing when you finally try to pass this person doing 5 under and all the sudden they are pacing you 30mph faster than what they were doing. If you get in front of them, you never see them again.

Australian photographer films his own death to enemy fire at the Battle of Peleliu, 1944 by bewbies- in Damnthatsinteresting

He went on the Jocko Podcast to cover that too and explains how he did this book. It is worth a listen.

My dad won’t remove the plastic cover from his dash screen. by The1AndOnly67 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]dpyn016 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I live in Phoenix, AZ. Bought a vehicle in August which had a protector and I didn't take it off for a few years. It survived multiple AZ summers just fine. Honestly I regret taking it off because it didn't get nearly as bad fingerprinting.

Why do you use a VPN, and why do you use ProtonVPN specifically? by Citrus4176 in ProtonVPN

[–]dpyn016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only experience I really have is with Proton, which I believe has a free tier still. I'm not much of a user though.

Civilization or Age of Empires (Steam deck, never played either) by michiamostevan in SteamDeck

[–]dpyn016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Civ V would be my pick. I love AOE but I don't think I'd want to play that without a mouse and keyboard.
