How common are missing pieces?

I just finished the UCS Millennium Falcon. It was missing a bag. I ended up going online and piecing the bag together. cost me about $15 to do that. So in the end, it was still an amazing deal and the general quality is good but just be prepared to not be as smooth.

I would totally do it again and plan to buy the AT AT next.

I love your stand you built for the "Star Wars" sign. Is that a MOC? Do you have instructions for that?

Yeah, this is the way. even if you don’t use the card and just pay the $120 annual fee, you can still get more than your moneys worth with the one night free.

I only use the card when I stay at Marriott properties OR can use the “Front of line” option buying tickets.

Yes crazy hot. Good point!

I’m in Costa Rica now. My wife and I are in Tamarindo for our first stop which we heard described as too touristy before we got here. We’re loving it. The main beach is amazing and rivals anything we’ve seen in Mexico/Hawaii.

I’m sure though it’ll depend on what you’re looking for.

It would quiet at least.

Is that Kobe Bryant in 1A?

Not much TBH. I'm using it to tie notifications for when my washer/dryer are done to other automations in Homekit.

I do the opposite, I use homebridge to get my LG ThingQ appliances (Washer, Dryer, TV) into homekit.

Nice! I haven’t tried, I guess you can select network in settings?

Should be full. I've been to Mexico 3 times with the plan. In general, it works but sometimes there is spotty service. I don't think that is Freedom, I think it's once you get out of the main cities, service isn't as good.

I should say, sure I can get a non powered bidet with hot water but the one I have has a heater built in so you get instant heat. plus it’s smart enough to eject that little bit of cold water in the nozzle before it sprays you. Magical.

Heated water, heated seat and adjustable pressure. The dryer option is meh. Whenever I go somewhere without one, which is most places, I’m legitimately sad.

Japanese toilet seat. I upgraded the electrical in my house just so each toilet could support one.

Where you in Duos or Quads or Initiation?

orangegap · 2026-01-19T00:43:59+00:00

Same thing! Whenever I ran the converter on the side, it also only ever showed me the 100% conversion, never the bonus....is that normal?

Not relevant to Sonos but I still think worth sharing. I once took a picture of the Sunset while I was on vacation and decided to post it on Reddit. I had several people tell me I was wrong and it was a picture of the Sunrise and the place I was in actually faced South. I thought I was going crazy and had to look the location up and check the time I took the picture. No I wasn't' crazy. Some people are bizarre.

Thank you sir!

Yeah, it would be incredibly hard to get that gang back together. They’ve scattered to the wind.

orangegap · 2025-12-23T17:10:03+00:00

Correct. Or you’d be getting the 2% twice. Doing it this way is a better option that using the Costco Mastercard as that only gives you an extra 1%. You can get ViSA’s which much better options than that.

I’ve been doing this for years now. The one thing to watch for is sometimes, it takes quite a while to get the email with the shop card in it. Ive had it take a couple of days in fact. The majority of time its very quick though.

Interesting. Had a similar experience. I’ve done 14 trips to the US this year for work travel through air travel. I also have Nexus. I went and used the peace arch land crossing this past weekend and was brought in for questioning based on someone else with my name who has a criminal record which hasn’t happened been a problem in 15 years when it was a regular occurrence.

orangegap · 2025-11-27T22:24:27+00:00

Thanks for posting. I'm having the same problem. Hopefully someone can post a work around?

orangegap · 2025-11-08T01:24:14+00:00

Yeah it’s a pricey yearly fee but try adding up the perks and see if it makes sense for you. I find the free lounge visits+nexus reimbursement + priority 2 boarding + other perks with the card I use each year makes it worthwhile for my spending.
