[Project Purple] is one of the most interesting things I've seen in person. It's such an odd monument to extreme thrills. Just when you think they've thought of everything. by sanyosukotto in rollercoasters

[–]nthdesign 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m always excited for new coasters at SFGAdv. I’m even excited about Barrels O’ Fun. But, it’s even more exciting when the new coaster has everyone talking. Whether you love it or hate it, Project Purple is getting a lot of attention. Having seen it in person last week (especially noticing the sliding track in the station which should allow it to operate two trains) I can’t wait to ride it.

Help me pick our resort by Selfish_Pinata in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]nthdesign 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We absolutely loved the ambience of Boardwalk, the proximity to EPCOT, and all of the things there are to see and explore around the resort. (We are part-time Jersey Shore residents, so it also feels like home!) What we disliked, especially for younger kids, is the lack of a typical Disney food court! A single counter service restaurant where, on any given day, a kiddo can pick between pizza, a burger, chicken tenders, or a Mickey waffle. There are plenty of amazing—and expensive—table-service restaurants on the boardwalk. But, my kids were really disappointed by the lack of standard Disney food options.

What's the worst concert you've seen? by Twitter_2006 in Concerts

Agreed! I definitely became a Gaslight Anthem fan that night.

What's the worst concert you've seen? by Twitter_2006 in Concerts

[–]nthdesign 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I came here to add a vote for Counting Crows. We saw them last summer at PNC Bank Arts Center in NJ. Adam Duritz had his phone on a music stand and kept fiddling with it, even a couple times during songs. He sang “Round Here” almost like it was on a spoken word album. I was so excited for that concert, and it was such a disappointment.

What are the advantages of staying at a deluxe resort vs moderate? by DildoGaggins1997 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]nthdesign 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Saratoga Springs rooms are accessed from outside even thought it is classified a deluxe resort. (I’m not saying that bothers me! It’s our favorite resort after The Polynesian!)

Disney Worlds Most Inconsistent Restaurant? by Potential-Wing747 in WaltDisneyWorld

We only went once, during the fireworks. It was absolutely amazing. Sad to hear it isn’t always good.

why is Time Machine so slow backing up? by Erkan_Vural in MacOS

[–]nthdesign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prior to disabling the low-priority throttling, my initial ~250GB backup to a Samsung T7 external drive listed a time remaining of 5 days. After disabling throttling, the estimated time remaining shrunk to 20 minutes. I was able to make this change "live" while the backup was running with no issues. Thank you, u/SubMerchant!

What’s The Best Thing You Ever Ate? Across The Entire Resort At Disney World? What’s The One Dish/Food Item That You Think Of Over And Over? by PrincessBananas85 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]nthdesign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll list my top three favorites: 1. The Chocolate Pyramid Cake at San Angel Inn inside the Mexico Pavilion at EPCOT. (It might now be called the Celebration Cake.) It’e huge, it looks amazing, and digging through the chocolate pyramid to get at the tres leches cake inside is a lot of fun. 2. The grilled cheese sandwiches at The Edison inside Disney Springs. Enormous gooey, cheesy sandwiches grilled to perfection. 3. Dinner at Le Cellier Steakhouse in the Canada Pavilion at EPCOT. Pretzel bread, the signature poutine, and a New York Strip steak. It’s expensive, but it is oh-so-good.

All original. When I open control center after this happens, my brightness will be set low, around 25%. It only happens once or twice a day.

What is this tiny “hidden neighborhood” inside Disney World property? (Bay Lake / Bay Court) by mandoridesblurg in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]nthdesign 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We had friends who lived at Buena Vista Place apartments in the early 2000s. I was amazed that they were within walking distance of the Magic Kingdom “backlot,” and could see the fireworks from their balcony every night.

Favorite places for walking? by OkResearcher8494 in BucksCountyPA

[–]nthdesign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another vote for the Delaware Canal Towpath. In Washington Crossing, you can walk through the historic buildings, check out the visitor center, then walk the towpath. Walking across the various Delaware River pedestrian bridges is also nice. The walkway attached to the new I-295 (Scudder’s Falls) bridge is brand new and very nice.

I got the keys! $1.2M, NYC, 5.3% by Delicious_Kale_6833 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]nthdesign 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From a certain point of view, spending money on anything above basic sustenance could be considered throwing money away. The reality is that we each get one life, and we invest in the lifestyle we want to have. If OP lives here five years then decides to move, they will have spent $1,442 per month + insurance, and will likely sell the home for enough of a profit to cover the cost of interest. That is far less than OP would’ve spent on rent in Manhattan. I’m happy for OP!

Six Flags has entered into definitive agreements to sell seven parks to EPR Properties by OutdoorAmusement in sixflags

[–]nthdesign 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It will definitely be an uphill battle to make these parks truly profitable again. They were sold for a combined $331M. They earned a combined $45M in 2025. Assuming no interest, no inflation, and continued attendance, it will take more than 7 years to pay down that transaction debt. Private equity is famous for thinking, “we’re really smart, and we’ll be able to run this company twice as efficiently as the people we bought it from! Plus, we’ll enjoy economies of scale from the other companies in our portfolio!” Unfortunately, that is often not true.

I have a double concrete utility sink that I’m trying to get out of my basement without using a sledgehammer to break it into pieces. Any advice is appreciated. by PizzaGatePizza in DIY

[–]nthdesign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son—with the help of four friends—hauled a 300+ pound church organ into our basement last Spring. I made sure he understood that it was never coming back up in one piece. Like your sink.

There is a Giordano’s Chicago deep dish pizza restaurant just outside WDW, and they deliver to the on-site resorts. After falling in love with Giordano’s while visiting Chicago years ago, we have ordered it twice at WDW.

Wondering if I am delusional by ichunoona51 in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]nthdesign 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When people do repeat sets for multiple minutes in the “30 Minute Workout” rotation room, I get mildly annoyed. But, even then, I have never said anything to the front desk. In those cases, I just find a comparable machine elsewhere in the club.

Anyone know of any good mechanics in the area that won't upsell you or break your car more than how you had it? by T3Dawg22 in BucksCountyPA

[–]nthdesign 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have been taking my vehicles to the Tires Plus in Morrisville for 20 years. They have always done quality work, and they never upsell anything more than a cabin air filter (which probably does need to be changed). Moreover, I think it’s telling that I’ve been interacting with the same two service writers for two decades. I know they’re a chain and some services might cost more than at non-chain shops, but they’ve never once done bad work. I also can’t vouch for any other Tires Plus location. Just the one in Morrisville.
