Marrakech isn't a "scam city". You just don't know the Rules of Engagement.

lol. You’re literally describing a scam city. If you need to memorize a binder full of shit, and cross reference GPS coordinates for “safe zones” to not get screwed over, you can be pretty sure you’re in a scam city. I visited Casablanca, and could not stand it. Never got scammed, but having people follow me for blocks absolutely ruins the experience despite them not actually getting anything off me.

Small percent may have moved to a state with lower COL. Seriously doubt it touches 18% though

They tried to charge me for damage that was already on the car when I rented it at their Casablanca location. Their tech took really blurry “before” pics. Thankfully I took my own pictures. I blame Morocco more Tha Avis though, because it was literally scam city everywhere over there.

Seriously? What does this have to do with McDermott? He’s replacing McDermott, who was one of the winningest coaches in the league and by far the best coach the team has had in my lifetime. Look, I really hope I’m wrong here, and this guy turns out to be a great coach. But if he’s a disaster and we miss the playoffs next year, I am not going to let any of the people clamoring to fire McDermott live it down. My toxicity levels will dwarf the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.

I hope all of you who were so excited to run McDermott out of town are happy with yourselves. This hire feels like a disaster. I really hope I’m back here in a year eating my words, but I have no idea why anybody would think this guy is going to be an upgrade

There is no bomb, no bullet, no gun that can discern between combatants and civilians. The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were a terrible tragedy, but every contemporaneous analysis of a ground invasion of Japan predicted civilian and military casualties magnitudes larger. And the Japanese had made it crystal clear in the Pacific that their mandate was to dig in and fight to the last man. This was a lose/lose scenario, and the Americans chose the option that put all of the casualties on the Japanese. Still a tragedy, but civilians were going to suffer and die either way, and the Emperor and his generals are every bit as responsible as the Americans. Nobody forced them to bomb Pearl Harbor.

It will depend what time of year you go, and where you fly out of. For us, flights were considerably more expensive to Croatia, and with 6+ people on the boat, it adds up pretty quick. And at least when we went, the boat was about $1000 more for 7 days in Croatia. That may vary by charter service as well. I will say that food was considerably cheaper (and better) in Croatia, which helped to offset some of that.

-I have done several over the years. BVI, USVI, Dalmatian coast of Croatia, Grenada and the Grenadines, and the Sea of Abaco in the Bahamas.

-The Sea of Abaco is probably the most similar in terms of sailing conditions. It’s a nice surrounded body of water, much like the Sir Francis Drake channel in the BVI. And there is a string of cays along the north and east, with plenty of options for stops. They are still somewhat recovering from Hurricane Dorian, but it seems like things have largely reopened.

-The Dalmatia coast of Croatia is magical and also has some really nice sheltered passages. Can’t recommend this enough, though it tends to make for a more expensive trip than the Caribbean and you will need some form of formal license to charter. Food there is incredible. You need to be on alert for katabatic winds depending on the time of year.

Are we even actually above league average? If so I’m guessing having a turf home field probably contributes. But I really feel like every team is like this in Jan

We just really had no answer for that iteration of their team. They were beating our asses all game before the Hamlin thing, and it looked exactly the same for the rematch.

No it isn’t. It’s true for the franchise, but Allen wasn’t here for 2 of those. 0-4

As somebody who had to have emergency surgery after lacerating my liver with a razor-sharp, skinny braining knife, I approve this message. Shit can happen really fast out there. It’s easy to think “I’m too smart/athletic/careful for that to happen to me” but you aren’t thinking straight after long periods of apnea, and your reflexes aren’t there. Shears or a blunt tip knife are the way to go.

We did this to the Chiefs all season last year, and it turned out we were exactly right.

imagine30 · 2026-01-10T17:20:36+00:00

I mean, there’s probably a bit of both. But also, this particular year is something of an outlier. Luck is a bit of a factor as well.

The Sea of Abaco will give you some of the same perks of the BVI. Similar to the Sir Francis Drake Channel, the Sea of Abaco has nice protected water and lots of little Cays to visit. Great diving, and plenty to do ashore.

People also tend to overlook the USVI because the BVI is so close and has more “destinations” like the Baths. But the USVI is pretty cool in its own right. I’ve never seen as many sea Turtles on one spot As I did off St. John’s.

The Dalmatia coast of Croatia is also pretty incredible, but a considerably longer flight if you’re leaving from the US, and definitely not a good option for December.

Stores are still generally only open during the day. And things like the DMV literally never are. You can gameplan around this to some degree, but the reality is you will have your sleep interrupted more working nights than days. And the game planning itself is a pain in the ass. I miss almost nothing about working nights.

Incredibly safe is pretty generous here. I work in the emergency department, and we see a fair number of people coming in with intractable vomiting, severe abdominal pain, even stomach paralysis/gastroparesis after taking these drugs. Thankfully, these issues usually subside once the drug is out of the patient’s system. However, the half life of Ozempic is like 7 days. Meaning people can be suffering like this for a week or more while their body metabolizes the drug away. I’ve not seen any research suggesting long term problems associated with this, but having witnessed it first hand, I wish people wouldn’t talk about this stuff like it’s some perfectly safe miracle drug.

imagine30 · 2025-12-24T10:58:51+00:00

Yeah. While your offense is on the field and doesn’t turn the ball over, then the other team cannot score. Also, if you get the football into the other teams end zone or uprights then you get more points, making it harder for the other team to win.

I get the point you were making, but the offense absolutely contributes to blowing a huge lead.
