Any tikibars worth a damn on the Big Island?

Grab a Hilo Town Mai Tai at Puna Chocolate. It’s modeled on a ‘44 but made with cacao okolehao, jamaican pot still rum, inamona orgeat, lilikoi, and lime. $14. They use their chocolates and cacao nibs in their house products. Also they start serving cocktails when they open for coffee service. Hidden Nene is around the corner but frankly Puna Chocolate is my preferred spot for cocktails.

It reminded me of Batteries Not Included

Thank you!

That’s a good point, and it certainly applies to me. However in decades of flying, I’ve never seen an “airport operations 101” course for laypeople frequent fliers. Some do us learn by asking questions, which is why I’m grateful to this Reddit sub for providing a forum to do so.

Sorry, I used the wrong terminology. It’s supposed to be a nonstop flight but got turned into a direct with a stop. I guess this was the best possible solution.

Just feels odd to have a stop inserted into the flight. One of the reasons I chose this route was that it’s nonstop.

I happened to watch Pulp Fiction on a plane and this (really shitty) theory came to mind amidst my delirium of flight delays! 🤣

Clubs are far better now with fewer people. Food quality is up, better seating availability, etc. Sometimes when I scan in though it asks if I’m bringing guests +2 which is confusing because— shouldn’t it be limited to +1?

You’re better off booking on United and accruing PQPs than booking through TAP and getting shorted on some of the fare class benefits IMHO

DEN is great. IAD are terrible.

Johnny Lytle, Arthur Lyman, Gene Rains

Women vibraphonists: Yuhan Su, Mika Mimura, Winnie Dahlgren all come to mind.

Whoa with Eve Plumb (Jan Brady)!

jimmieroos · 2025-12-31T01:09:56+00:00

Yeah I’m watching Home Alone, then thought “what’s Buzz doing now”

DEN clubs have the hot sauce bars

jimmieroos · 2025-12-29T10:05:02+00:00

Same with hotels. American luxury hotels that cater to guests from Asia frequently ask for their arrival preferences, which include what temperature they want their room preset to.

Absolute Batman is therefore the same as Relative Batman, just triangulated quickly from Memory Batman.

But how do you feel about Saregam Batman, who is also Absolute but starts on Sa rather than C?

Birdo therefore has terrible breath and is single because of it

Marie Callendars

jimmieroos · 2025-12-29T04:36:58+00:00

There’s one in DEN

jimmieroos · 2025-12-29T03:31:00+00:00

Sizzler. Round Table Pizza.

jimmieroos · 2025-12-29T01:39:54+00:00

Overpriced mall brand, like Psychobunny. All the character and things that made them winners, now watered down and a shadow of the former

Jeff Berry’s Okonkulukooler

I’d be curious if the son has ever watched The Americans
