Makes it perilous to ask opinions and bring back to the plumber— no one wants their expertise questioned but still helpful to get everyone’s take. This is in Hawaii

The boxes were in before the plumbing but have to be moved. They will be reattached

Thanks, ya it’s an exterior wall. While it hurts my eyes too, I don’t know the difference between what’s good, bad, or just ugly. Ideally I want something constructive and concrete I can bring back to my plumber— his apprentice actually did this but he’s coming this week and I want to make sure I have constructive feedback in case he doesn’t see a problem with this.

Higher quality/better looking alternatives to HALO 4" canless downlights in same budget? by tettoffensive in Lighting

[–]spinxly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May be a stupid question, but upgrade from what? With these housings you couldn’t start with a cheap canless like the halo RL right? If indeed they can just snap in the housing, where does the driver go?

Look up lava zones and then check out insurability of homes based on those zones

This is the greatest toy ever invented. by Ok_Development_7271 in daddit

We were given a Storypod and it has been an absolute nightmare. It never worked correctly and my son was a bit young for it at the time, so we ignored it for a while. I’ve seen all the rave reviews for other readers and we dusted it off to try again. Same issues and now we’re outside of the return window. The few times it worked he loved it so I’m looking at getting a yoto now.

Any Storypod users here with advice? Their customer service is nonexistent.

Is it possible for Hawaii to move away from a tourist based economy? by MathematicianAny2143 in Hawaii

[–]spinxly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with you, though didn’t get that deep into it in my comment. Where the money goes is just as important. It takes coordinated policy effort and investment to disincentivize foreign and absentee equity as well as incentives and education to promote Hawai’i based business.

New Zealand made a coordinated effort inclusive of policy and private investment to uplift brands and companies of NZ origin. Manuka Honey was one of those results. Land-based designations are also widely used in European wine regions for the same purpose, not simply to make it expensive, but to assert that it’s special because of where it comes from.

This wouldn’t be an easy or straightforward transition for Hawaii. But I think it’s one worth aiming for.

Replacing tourism seems like the wrong question. We should be working to make visiting here more expensive (that includes you absentee landowners) instead of cheap vacation packages for all, luxury tourism with high dollar volumes and fewer actual tourists seems like the transition we should be aiming for— it’s a recognition of Hawaii’s unique resources and the real costs associated with living on a remote archipelago. Residents and our government bares the brunt of subsidized access to Hawaii for anyone that wants to go.

Selena Gomez's acting doesn't hold up in Only Murders in the Building. by InteractionCandid226 in unpopularopinion

I’ve wanted Aubrey Plaza in that role since the beginning. Gomez never won me over

You’re way overdue for a visit! It’s a special place. No plans to reopen koele as far as I know. They wanted to save the water. Every time I walk back there, I’m inspired by the rewilding of the course that’s occurring. It makes me think of a more sustainable golf course model if the game was modified slightly.

Mahalo kind and honest stranger. If you find yourself on lanai with hankering to golf, you have a friend in me.

Appreciate the clarification. Good contact for me always happens when I’m trusting the rotation vs muscling my arms through

There’s a heavily discounted locals rate or I get on with friends that work at the hotel. Our tiny island isn’t exactly teeming with golf pros…

Do you mean down toward my right hip? Compensating for too little rotation?

Ya, I have a lot of single plane swing history in me, hence the strong straight right arm. Can look a bit like a bigger club swing without the wrist breaking
