    Joey, what is great if you're really hungry and want to eat two thousand of something? Mitch wants to know (i.redd.it)

Daft Punk's new song's a real banger

Ty!

Ha, just talked about this with a friend. I live on the east side. Can you share any more info about it? Did you do a tour (is your required)? Was it more fun or more educational or just interesting?

lonb

Great call, thank you!

Btw, one interesting note, I used Gemini, and it pointed out that if we didn't report all of this in real-time to the property host, that may flag VRBO's "accuracy" requirement. While we did not report everything in detail to the host, I did report some. For example, after our first night, we got an automated note asking if we needed anything, to which I replied:
"Not at the moment. But please note for your records that there is a LOT of damage and poor maintenance in and around this house. Including the game tables, dry wall, lights, ceiling, showers and sinks, floors, and more."

It was around $430/night, all-in ($266 before all the fees and taxes). As a comparison, I just scanned the hotels downtown (near River Walk) and the Maverick is $196, Hilton is $210, Hyatt is $279, Intercontinental is $189. We picked it because (a) none of us had been to San Antonio before, and didn't really know the area. The property states in the headline "Near Riverwalk & Downtown" but I guess "near" is a relative term. We figured the price was a bit better than booking multiple rooms at a hotel. However, it's not apples-to-apples, since those hotels have more amenities and house cleaning and no requirements for us. VRBO and this property had no service and lots of requirements about HVAC, garbage, etc.

Good idea on using an LLM. Thanks!

lonb

Fair enough, but can you share specifically why you think so?

lonb

Everybody else read this while singing "Pink Pony Club" to themselves, right?

It's a big movie!

She's expressing a re-realized version of the paradox of tolerance. Society cannot tolerate anyone intolerant in leadership.

Agree with the comments already here (Richmond, T&T in Everett, Triumph Valley). But also would suggest Dim Sum Factory in Factoria. Google maps reviews aren't good, but not sure why. it's a solid, local standby. Large pieces, pretty tasty. Never crowded.

"Hey there lil guy, what's the matter?"

"It's a matter of time."

"Eventually you'll get to the heart of the matter. "

"How?"

(Side eyes Time) "Have you considered a knife?"

I see Robin Williams

From "novelty by boom town" in Oklahoma City. Looks amazing! Crazy that this place only has six reviews on Google maps.

lonb

Hard to believe this is the first time she's ever done this.

lonb

The ending is funnier if you remember "Mondo Beyond". I forget which sketch, maybe the Kipper Kids bit?

lonb

Try dermatology arts. I was referred there by two different docs, and they seem decent? I'm not an expert.

Does anyone know what brand those collapsible saw horses are?
