turn it all around

We’ve kind of swung back around to hotels in a lot of cases. It’s just nice to have to not worry about the little stuff that sometimes doesn’t get detailed in an Airbnb listing, like what to do with trash or towels or bedding or whatever at the end of your stay. Plus Airbnb prices inflated a lot to the point that sometimes it’s not cheaper to do that versus a hotel anymore.

Long term stays are nice in an Airbnb, as is renting a big ole cabin in the woods or something.

If we’re doing a longer trip, like when we were in Tokyo for a couple of weeks, we split it up. We did a hotel the first couple of nights just so we had an easy start to the trip with people who could help us if we needed it upon arrival, then moved to an Airbnb for the majority, then a fancy rear end hotel for the last couple of days to feel luxurious while we ate Kit Kats in bed.

I hate AirBnBs, hate the feeling of sleeping in someone else’s place. Love a hotel. Big fan of Hilton-brand hotels, love the complimentary breakfast. The Hampton in Salem, MA is very nice.

100% agreed. Had so many issues with Airbnb over the years.

AirBNB is good for finding a big rural house to have a party at but besides that I'm going with a hotel.

Airbnbs got too expensive. They cost more than a hotel stay now.

In my pursuit of playing n64 games, I'm considering buying one of those 8bitdo n64 mod kits. That goofass controller being what it is means that it's never really comfortable mapping keys to any other type of controller.

Anyone got one?

if you need that 8bitdo keyboard you can get a standalone numpad. a lot of keyboard guys do that or used to do it. something like a CIDOO V21. but get something lovely to match the keyboard hehe

I was reading the Wikipedia for Jaws 4 and came across this amazing quote about the novelization.


quote:

Taken from the earlier drafts of the screenplay, the shark is directed by a voodoo curse laid by Papa Jacques, a Haitian witch doctor.

I can't find it anymore since Google is bad now but there's an old Vine I think of a guy asking Siri to play a song that goes like *mimicks the reversed part of Missy Elliott's 2002 hit "Work It"*

It's never in any of the Vine compilations I see on YouTube maybe cause of copyrights I dunno

Anyways if anyone knows what I'm talking about and knows how to find it that'd be cool

I'm gonna go get a Baja Blast and some cheesy bean and rice burritos

If you buy a mechanical board like this for gaming, then you just buy a separate numpad for work. It lets you move the mouse closer to the board and improves wrist and shoulder posture.

i like summoning salt but i thought this one was poorly paced and sometimes did not focus on the right things. most likely due to bias from his sources. the guy who broke tetris possibly forever and is on top by a wide margin to this day got about 4 minutes of time in a 2 hour video, and before that it was portrayed as a shame for a young child to receive what a grown man deserved in an attempt to tug at viewer heartstrings. some of the visual work was very cool. 6/10

not trying to be harsh. tetris matters a lot compared to some other things in the world. it was a true cultural touchstone. i'm not even putting down wii sports in comparison. i'm saying it makes mega man 2 look like krusty's fun house. that's all
