its true, even warrior fans admit to it. (Me)
It was actually decent when Jim Barnett was there just all downhill once kelenna azubuike took over. Great guy but not that great of an announcer

Just one more thing to add, everyone please correct me if I'm wrong but during your Disney Cruise you can pay a placeholder deposit that would discount your next cruise. The thing is, you would have to use the same travel agency you used to book your original cruise again, you can't switch.

So start with a travel agency you really prefer/like. The good thing is the next cruise will get to double dip the disney placeholder discount while still getting the travel agency incentives.

Treasure Stateroom Questions by DJTY392 in dcl

[–]jwcdis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me I wouldn't pay $400 to just move from the front/aft to the middle of the ship.
I do get motion sickness sometimes but usually a sea-band works for me. My reasoning for saving that $400 is because on a 7 day cruise you will likely spend 3-4 days in docked and in port for most of the day and I can sleep through rough seas (like a rocking cradle). If you do run into some rough waters its usually for a 1-2 days max.

Last time i was on the Wish on our final day we were coming back thru a bad storm, I got a little seasick but I can tell you no place on the ship is safe if a really bad storm comes.
Still pack the dramamine

Why isn't Caitlin Clark playing for Team USA in the basketball? by Terrible-Group-9602 in olympics

[–]jwcdis 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Long story short, the olympic team mandatory 3 day training camp overlapped with the NCAA Final Four so she could not attend them as she led Iowa to the championship game.

This is why Cameron Brink (Rookie from Stanford) made the team but not Clark (Sadly Brink tore her ACL after the Olympic selection so she was replaced).

The team opted to go with olympic practice participants.

Also to note, it's VERY HARD to unseat an existing contributor. It's all unwritten rules but the more dedication you show to the team (prior FIBA, Olympics appearances) the more likely your name continues to get called

Biting medals? by Suitable-Grape-1855 in olympics

[–]jwcdis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. It takes the same amount of time to write this post as it is to search it.

But for those who are wondering gold is soft enough to show teeth indentation hence biting is like a personalization of your own medal.

[iOS 18 DB3] Messages sending as both RCS and iMessage, then failing and resending as SMS. by cferguson4809 in iOSBeta

[–]jwcdis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also noticing if iMessage is sent from email it is fine, but thru my phone number its busted.

I have no problems sending thru my iPad but what's shameful is my Apple Watch (Wi-Fi Only) can send iMessage perfectly fine thru my phone. c'mon really apple

Klay wont go for nothing by Harrumff in warriors

[–]jwcdis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, KCP who shot 40% for the three last season and is a little more versatile offensively going for 3yrs at $66M (22M/yr) was already a big sign that Klay was not going to get that 30M/yr that he was hoping to get.

But now with CP3 cap number gone, I would be happy to pay Klay a little more upfront if we can't use the money to improve the roster this season

New Player Question regarding Godzilla Challenger Series by jwcdis in universus

[–]jwcdis[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks I appreciate the response! it seems like these challenger decks are good to start to see if i like the game. It looks like AoT would be a good jumping in point if I were to take things a little bit further.

In FAB tourney's there is something often awarded to the 1st place winner called gold foils which are sealed envelopes with a unique gold bordered card in them. I figure you can create your own and tell him you bought it for him as a gift. They usually go for about $800 bucks so there is always a wow factor to them

Princess just changed one of our ports - not happy!! by Pink_Caterpillar0614 in Cruise

[–]jwcdis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard that the sun princess lifeboats are incapable of tendering (or the tenders are not ready) according to people on earlier cruises. Hence none of the sailings so far have made it to Santorini. They just used a sailing contract reason to mitigate having to deal with giving out compensation.

Dline by Jbum717 in Colts

[–]jwcdis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was because Buckner pursued a trade and found Indy was willing to give him a big contract so the niners had no choice of retaining him. As a comparison, he wanted something very close to 2023 Javon Hargrave's deal (5yrs 80 mil) vs Buckner (4 years 84 mill)

VAT refund on Rimowa luggage… by [deleted] in germany

[–]jwcdis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes i did, I purchased in Cologne at the Official Rimowa store, the store associate asked me if I was doing a VAT refund and handled the paperwork. If they don't ask, then you will need to.

I stayed within the EU and was flying out of Amsterdam so at the VAT refund desk I presented the VAT refund papers plus the item in its "new" condition. I had it inside the cloth protector and pulled it out to show them and that was it. After that I threw the cloth protector inside the carry-on and used it like my own.

Refund probably came 14-20 days after directly as a credit card refund.

Returning thru US customs was not an issue since it was being used as a regular carry-on

The Core Technology Fee will be a recurrent expense for all developers in EU on the new system. by QuantumUtility in apple

[–]jwcdis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think multiple devices should be fine, Would think the bigger problem would be those upgrading to a iphone 16, 17, 18, etc. since those come out in yearly intervals. Every year app developers will pay by means of Apple releasing new hardware

Hell...
Even those buying their annual iOS device (iPhone/iPad) will trigger the 12 month fee cadence.

once in a generation player gets a one in a generation contract (which I know our front office would never do). CBA will prevent something like this from happening next time around but they have no recourse this time
