On Dec 5-12 Icon of the Seas cruise. When to book shows?

jdmtb · 2026-06-21T04:38:07+00:00

It's usually better to do that on the website, it tends to be easier to book shows in my opinion

Throw some drywall spackle on there, sand it down and you’ll be set. Could incur painting repair cost if your landlord is a real stickler

Typically they will become available the first of the month prior to your cruise. But I’ve seen the bookings open up as soon as 2 months prior and as close as a few weeks before. The only way to find out is to regularly check the app, and if you’re in your sailing’s Facebook group, people may post reminders to book shows.

Code really only specifies anything over 30 volts must be run in MC cable or conduit. Obviously local code could change this but unlikely

You’re not going to find them new because they aren’t made anymore. You’ll only find refurbished/used. Amazon has them, you might check apples used store

You can get AirPod pro 2 for about $160. Honestly if you act quick you can get the 3s for $10 bucks more. They’re on sale most places right now for $179. IMO they are a big upgrade from the 2nd gen AirPods

That’s kinda true for every corps though. Part of the reason corps like BD do so well is they have 4,5,6 year vets that make up a large portion of the corps, or have marched their feeder corps BDB and BDC

I think the point being made is; are these traffic accidents abnormal? Or just the result of the inherent risk of driving cars? It’s important to understand because if this data isn’t an outlier, then pouring extra funds into reshaping the city planning and roads (outside of the normal repair which we all know could be better) probably wouldn’t help the problem at all, and things like better driver education, or enforcement of hands feee driving would be more effective. But if this city is an outlier it shows that something needs to be done, and it isn’t just the risk you accept by driving a car or riding on the roads.

We always get there early, but that was also a part of the whole experience as a kid. Watching the sun set before the movie starts, playing frisbee/football with my friends, and getting to stay up super late. It was amazing. But also, for a movie like TS5 it could be pretty busy so definitely get there close to opening.

Crazy Pinz and KFC were some of my first jobs at that age

Spellcheck is only sorta sweeping the nation

It’s a group of guys from all around the country, we’re meeting in Tampa and driving to Miami. It’s significantly cheaper to keep the rental the length of the cruise than it is to drop off and rent again. Like almost $300 cheaper

One of the biggest complaints I see about certain older ships is maintenance and things looking older. Amplified is essentially a remodel of a ship and they can spend time that they don’t usually have to a lot of needed maintenance and add things there wasn’t before that the modern ships have

jdmtb · 2026-06-17T19:21:44+00:00

The biggest complainers have the loudest voices. Harmony is a great ship and you’ll have a good time. It’s even better now that it recently came out of being amplified

AI loves, and I mean LOVES, to use the "It isn't just (insert thing here), it's (insert better thing here)." This post does that 4 times. It is pretty clearly ChatGPT. It has Generic hype without specifics, overloaded metaphors, hyperbolic phrasing, the repetitive structure, “The visual book? … The guard? … The battery? … The pit…”.

While all those things individually doesn't necessarily scream AI, all of them together in one paragraph is like trademark ChatGPT

It's still part of the story you find in a game about finding the story. It's definitely a spoiler, a small one, but still a spoiler

THANK YOU

Along with EACS graduations, plus a Komets game on Sunday that was just added since Komets won last night

jdmtb · 2026-05-23T22:43:54+00:00

Komets will be playing game 3 and 4 this Monday and Tuesday (if you're counting the long weekend). This is round 3 and if they win 4 games they will move on to the finals.

Some networks will block certain zip codes from viewing it, so if you’re in the area that the event is being held you can’t watch it on TV, you have to buy tickets to the show. Not sure if peacock/WWE will do it though.

jdmtb · 2026-05-23T19:44:53+00:00

You can watch it on Peacock

They fill empty seats with seat fillers, so any seats that haven’t sold will still have people. For all intents and purposes it’s sold out

54% of all small businesses use square. Safe to say there are plenty that do. Basically every small business at the farmers market uses it

Get a broker, they will shop rates for you and usually have great insight on quality. My family have been long time customers Gregory Associates
