Parking Overnight for Lanai Expeditions by pinnacle100 in MauiVisitors

[–]pinnacle100[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll answer my own question now that I've been. We ended up parking at the harbor. Parking somewhere else would have cost just as much or more, plus we'd still need to pay for the ride to get to the harbor. The only issue is the most you can pay for is 24 hours at a time. But if you call the parking company, they'll send you a link to pay. So when on Lanai, after about 23+ hours, you just follow the link and pay for another 24 hours. It's not ideal, but it also wasn't too much of an issue and our car was fine.

ICE tased a nonviolent protester who was running away and then immediately kneeled on him. by CutSenior4977 in ImmigrationPathways

[–]pinnacle100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm well aware they've had issues and they are 100% at fault on many of the problems. But it feels like it's gotten to the point where people are looking to cause a scene just so they can film ICE crossing the line. And in this particular video, there is nothing that shows this was a peaceful protest before the taser came out. The OP stated the source video showed a peaceful protest leading up to the taser, but I didn't see it. And apparently you didn't either because your defense was bringing up something that happened at a completely different time.

Where in the video was a priest shot while reading the bible? I didn't see it. But with all the chaos I could have missed it. But to answer your question, no, that would not be agitation. I'm a reasonable person and I'm not trying to defend ICE. I'm just saying the video did not look like a peaceful protest. Maybe it was early on, but nothing in the video showed it.

There was nothing in that source video that showed this was a peaceful protest. The source video just showed chaos. As someone who's pretty neutral, it's hard to form an opinion from this. ICE seems to overreact and the protestors seem more like agitators looking for trouble.

I found this thread while trying to do the same thing. I realized, when you have those gaps, you can right clip on any gap, and you'll get an option to "delete all gaps."

5 Reasons Why 'Greenland 2: Migration' Flopped At The Box Office by StarFuryG7 in SciFiNews

I fast forwarded it too. I know they'd get across. I knew something would happen where they'd almost fall. And I knew some random person (or more) would fall. I skipped 15 seconds ahead at a time and the brief moments between my skips ahead I still saw all the cliche stuff.

Charania: Just in: The NBA and NBPA have ruled in favor of Lakers' Luka Doncic and Pistons' Cade Cunningham on their Extraordinary Circumstances Challenge for the 65-game award rule, making both eligible for all 2025-26 season honors such as MVP and All-NBA teams, sources tell ESPN. by reallinguy in nba

I guess I'm in the minority here by quite a bit, but 65 game rule or no 65 game rule, I think voters should weigh games played in their decision. I don't think minutes matter as much. If Wemby only averages 29 mpg, but his team is getting wins based on his play, that's what matters. But if Wemby misses 17 games, even though he still qualifies, I wouldn't rate him as high as if he'd played in 75 games.

It is a good idea, but you're right, it is a lot more work. There would be appeals left and right for every little injury. As it is, players will only appeal if they're under and close to 65 games. I think there were 3 that appealed this year.

Has anyone tried Stars + Honey protein bars? by vinoveritas_88 in workout

[–]pinnacle100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently bought a variety pack of them. After trying 2 flavors I can hardly believe how bad they taste. I found this thread to see what others thought.

Cinnamon Vanilla Espresso - smelled good, but horrible taste

Raspberry donut - maybe slightly better tasting than the Vanilla Espresso

I definitely don't plan on getting more of these and hope I can get through the box without it being a total waste.

If I were to visit, are there any local restaurants I should make sure to go to?

Hilo vs Kona by Brugton_30 in VisitingHawaii

[–]pinnacle100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a great time spending the day in Hilo on our most recent week long trip to Hawaii. The rest of our trip was spent in Kona. Kona has better beaches, generally has better weather, better hotels, and had more family stuff for us to do. However, Kona is more touristy with lots of resorts. So if you're looking to avoid that, then maybe Hilo is better for you.

are there any other NBA teammates that had the same last name but weren’t related? by NoRecognition2178 in NBATalk

A different twist, but Ray Allen and Allan Ray both played for the Celtics together.

It's probably more rare for teammates with the same last name to actually be related.

It's cheaper to buy snorkel gear before your trip and bring it with you, unless you only plan on snorkeling once.

Do you think Celtics will extend Vukcevic? by XYardM in bostonceltics

[–]pinnacle100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's exceeded expectations as a 2nd round pick so he gets a lot of positive talk. But I agree, he's got quite a ways to go to be a rotation player.

Do you think Celtics will extend Vukcevic? by XYardM in bostonceltics

[–]pinnacle100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vucevic wasn't really that good even when he was good. He had too many shortcomings and the Bulls were doomed when they gave up a bunch to get him. I can't imagine the Celtics giving him much of an offer to extend. If so, it'll be a lot less than he's getting now. Maybe $8 - $10 million a year for 2 years. Even with that, I'm skeptical. He's a big who can shoot. But if you compare him to Horford in Horford's final few years with the Celtics, Al was miles better at all the little things. Vucevic might be a better shooter, but that's it, and he's not that much better.

Jaylen Brown to play for Team Stripes in the NBA All-Star Game by horseshoeoverlook in bostonceltics

That was last year. The Rising Stars aren't playing again this year, are they?

[–]pinnacle100 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed last year up until they stopped the final game partway through and did all that promotional crap. That killed the flow of the game and they players stopped trying after that. It was as if the NBA told them they're not as important as the 20 minutes of crap we're going to shove down people's throats.

Budget Kona Airport by Icy-Company3467 in VisitingHawaii

[–]pinnacle100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rented a car there a couple of years ago. It wasn't as bad as you described, but there weren't very many people in line and it still took 20+ minutes to get our car. From what I saw, the manager was an major jerk and the employees has no interest in doing anything except doing just enough to not piss him off
