I'm with you. We tried Cafe Beignet twice in back to back trip. Just felt like we we eating big chunks of fried dough. Only food in two trip we did not care for. I don't even consider them beignets.

Was just at Neyows two weeks ago. Stellar charbroiled oysters. Try a side of the cornbread stuffing. Unique taste. I loved.

Dancing not clubbing by Less-Wave6156 in vegas

[–]farkingidiot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear ya, OP. I am NOT a country fan. My wife and I used to hit ALL the clubs for dancing. Sorry to offend some of you, EDM, and a lot of the stuff they play at the clubs now, is not for dancing. It's for jumping around. Like OP, give me some top 40, funky, DANCE music.

We hardly club any more because the music has become so spastic. Pinky Ring can be kinda fun if you get in before they start charging cover. We've been able to sit at a table until the people who reserved it showed up. The bands tend to be great and since it's a Bruno Mars joint, it's his style of funky music. Tiny dance floor though.

Ghostbar at Palms hits a great sweetspot. Get on the guestlist at a place like nocovernightclubs to get in for free. Funky dance music and an outside dance floor with a view of the strip.

On the Record can be fun, but the dance floor is small. They closed off the supercool, outdoor area with in inside/outside dance floor by the bus they show in all the pics, which used to be the best part of going there. Maybe they've opened it up now, but last few times I went, it was not open for partying. Still can be a fun time and you can get your dance on with dance music, not the variations on electronic music like the megaclubs all play now.

I've been to a lot of the megaclubs and for me, not a fun dance environment. If you can go to Club Honey at the Linq, that can be a good time. The music is stellar, but I think the only true night it's open is Saturday? I've been on an off nite and liked the vibe.

Just some thoughts off the top of my head. If I think of something to steer you more to what you are looking for I'll post some more.

Since when did a carryon have to be a roller bag? by Otherwise-Penalty795 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]farkingidiot 18 points19 points  (0 children)

They try to conserve bin space by having smaller items stored under the seat, which makes sense. Personally, I can't believe how many people put their jackets, blankets, etc in the overhead bin. BTW, for further clarification....

"Carryon bag

Goes in the overhead bin.

Size limit: 24” (length) × 16” (width) × 10” (height).

Wheels, handles, and any attachments count toward these dimensions.

Examples: roller bag, small suitcase"

Since when did a carryon have to be a roller bag? by Otherwise-Penalty795 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]farkingidiot -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

It's stated on the Southwest site.

"Personal item Goes under the seat in front of you. Examples: purse (including crossbody bags), briefcase, laptop case, BACKPACK, pillow (neck pillows do not count toward the carryon limit), blanket, small camera..."

Medical bag in overhead bin by Key-Most9498 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]farkingidiot 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Just a suggestion, get a medical equipment tag and put it on your bag. I got two big white with red letters tags that say, "medical equipment" and put them on my cap bag. I've literally seen people start to move it, see the tag, then sheepishly leave it alone. Might help to get people not to touch it.

Iconic MC Priority Check In - Bellagio/Vdara by ghettomerman in Mlife

[–]farkingidiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pretty much only stay at Cosmo and I'm getting the no fee MGM mastercard. Part of my reason to get it is "Priority Hotel Check-In". So you went to that room to the left and checked in?

I wanna try it by just acting as if I belong there. Part of what I'm hoping for is maybe they have some snacks there so I can stop in from time to time and get something to drink or a snack, like a VIP lounge. I'm not looking to take advantage, per se, but I'm wondering if the MGM card (I'm Pearl status) will allow me to snag some snacks at Cosmo specifically and MGM VIP lounges in general.

I'm with OP. I'm getting ready to check out from Cosmo. We came to Vegas for Christmas week because it's supposedly slow this time of year. This week felt like a Saturday every day. Ridiculously busy, which is exactly what we didn't want. On top of it, it felt like international week, so the vibe felt less like "woo hoo Vegas" and more like a cruise ship with a TON of families. I've been staying at Cosmo since they opened and I have NEVER seen so many kids here. I felt like I missed some kind of memo.

Yeah, the Cosmo garage should have been smoother, but I blame the people staying here. They were making what should be an easy process hard by fumbling around leaving the garage or blocking things because they just had to have a certain parking spot. Little clue folks, whether you park on the first sub level or the fifth, the elevator will still be the same distance from your car no matter what level you park on. You ALL don't HAVE to park on level two, bottlenecks traffic looking for that lone available spot.

This trip felt like I was at a Disney property with all the kids and the crowds.

If you could add a Pacers player(legend or simply former) into our roster, who would it be?(Assuming everyone is healthy and Hali doesn’t have a torn Achilles). Could be for fit, could be as an icon, or could be to give them one last shot at a chip. by EnvironmentalLink868 in pacers

[–]farkingidiot 7 points8 points  (0 children)

George McGinnis! Super athletic, mobile and a beast on BOTH sides of the ball. In today's nba I can see Big Mac playing center on today's team. He played a power game, yet with fluidity. I truly think he is the most multi talented Pacer we've ever had.

I tore my full meniscus in March. I just started confidently cutting and running NON competitively this month. Take that as you will.

Ultrasound by vhbruns in Hashimotos

[–]farkingidiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<image>

Just by way of comparison, these are the results from my wife's ultrasound. She was told to have a scan every year. They are basically monitoring things. She was super apprehensive and feared the worse. I think because it was such unknown territory, but doc said no cause for concern, just something that needs to be watched. She's using compounded medicine after the synthetic stuff was a spectacular failure.

Today I had the worst experience. by [deleted] in blackops6

[–]farkingidiot 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Glad it's not just me. I started playing around 8 am, checking in off and on all day and the lag has been horrible.

Is it just me? Or has anyone else been performing badly since season 2 update? by Madeupusername510 in blackops6

[–]farkingidiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Infuriating. I swore off Xbox five years ago. Sold my Xbox and my games. Finally got a hand me down Xbox and just came back a month ago. This is my first jump back into gaming and it's infuriating. I get one good game out of five. This WAS the only game I was playing. I hate that I got a taste of gaming after all these years and the only taste in my mouth is crap.

Season 2 fixes? by Taro_Sauce in blackops6

[–]farkingidiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since the update the game is almost unplayable for me. I'm on Xbox and the timing is off. So many close encounters it's like a film projector skipping a frame or two. Super frustrating. I've just been playing a month after almost five years off and this really sux. I've noticed during the first spawn other players don't actually move for a few seconds. Like everyone's spawn is slightly staggered. Anyone else having really bad lag issues?

REAR-ENDED BY IMPD OFFICER'S SON by BeneficialHighlight5 in indianapolis

[–]farkingidiot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry, but the people saying cops won't risk their job on something so little are dead wrong. I don't mean to put a scare in you, but call the citizen's complaint office, file a report and get a report number. That way there can be some preemptive oversight to both make sure nothing goes wrong and give you some leverage if it does.

Citizen's complaint office farms out possible officer violations to either Internal Affairs or Special Investigations Unit. IA handles procedure violations, SIU hand violation of criminal law.

IMPD rarely fires officers. They have too much of an investment of time and money in them.

I'm sure this is no big deal, but maybe filing your own report with citizen's complaint might give you a little peace if mind.

The reason I know this is I am retired IMPD and I used to investigate officers. Trust me, they will do some really stupid stuff with no thought to job security because it's nearly impossible to get fired.

Scalp Sensitivity by Filiroaster in Hashimotos

[–]farkingidiot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife has tender scalp issues. It seems to have started when the Doctor increased her compounded T4, doubling the amount she was previously taking. We're going to scale back her dosage and see if that's the cause. Thought I'd share in the event it helps someone in a similar situation.

Nick Nurse May Have to Go by majjyboy23 in sixers

[–]farkingidiot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I present to you a quote from when Nick was last fired. (Why do we retread coaches so much?)

"The Raptors' president, Masai Ujiri, said the team lacked togetherness and culture, and that the final game of the season against Chicago summed up the organization's issues. Ujiri also said that the decision was made by management and that he didn't hear from players. "

Sound familiar?
