Have you ever shared "the shot"s you got of those 3 cats? Would love to see them if you have :) Best of luck with the bobcat!

In case anyone is curious to see how far people have pushed the game, check out NEDesigns[1]. Some truly incredible RCT (mostly 2) parks. I'm a huge theme park enthusiast and I lov…

I was an intern at CenturyLink the summer they opened their new building in Monroe. Monroe was not fun to live in but the building was gorgeous and great to work in. From my unders…

Standard Blu Rays? Are you sure about that? I started ripping my blus at the beginning of the year and don't remember it being more difficult than buying any random Blu ray drive, …

I'm curious, what did you find lacking in Navidrome/...? I'm thinking about installing one of those pieces of software to serve my media and I'd love to know why you're building yo…

Other sibling comments have mentioned using your phone or the Pasmo passport but I just got back from Tokyo last week and there's a machine selling the Welcome Suica, a time limite…

A mix of Expedia, Agoda, and Priceline! As far as what I looked for in a hotel? Mainly just good reviews and pictures that looked simple and clean. I figured that I wouldn't spend …

I just got back from a trip to Japan where I stayed at a lot of non-western brand hotels. But when I went to their sites directly, they were obviously all in Japanese which I don't…

> America had asked Taiwan to manufacture biological weapons at a lab run by the island’s defence ministry, the report claimed. This reminds me a lot of the (presumably Russian dis…

Pinball is addictive. I don't even have a house to myself and I've had to talk myself out of picking up pins for my apartment. If anyone is in the Bay Area, I recommend the Pacific…

So the parent comment was referencing the steroid era in the 90s like the sibling comment mentions but you also do still see that in the (presumably) cleaner game today. While uppe…

I've been noticing this a lot lately in one of my little hobbies of Halloween events. There's so much history from events in the early 2000s that has been lost. So many links in an…

Epic Systems did as of 5 years ago

There's actually talk that they might pick up the media deal for the PAC 12 (if the conference exists in a week) so you might be right on the money there

I assumed it was Greta Gerwig coming off of two very well received, award winning movies

Happened to me too, on a roller coaster funny enough. I was at Busch Gardens in VA, riding their new coaster (Pantheon [1] for those curious). It's a fast, launched coaster and I g…

We definitely like to trade stories of the days where the parks were so empty that we might as well be in there alone!

Yep, you got it! I concur with that.

I'd say the first one you need to visit is Islands of Adventure in Orlando. When it opened in 1999, it really invented the idea of the IP land, a themed area dedicated to 1 IP as o…

I've been trying to make my way out to Japan for the last couple of years but Covid has gotten in my way. Looks like it's finally going to happen later this year. And I'm so excite…

That hotel looks awesome! I wish I could've stayed there. And I wonder the same. My family moved around a lot growing up and one of the few constants was a visit to a specific them…

I do! And themed dining like Rainforest Cafes and the like. My previous job was famous for their elaborately themed offices (I worked in the Alice in Wonderland building). Wasn't a…

Have you been up to California's Great America to ride Railblazer, another RMC? Seems like you're based in SoCal so it might be accessible to you at some point. Railblazer in the b…

Like you said, it's difficult to articulate but let me try. Growing up in FL, my family would go a lot of parks even though I was deathly afraid of roller coasters and most rides t…

Woah, surprised seeing bio on the front page of HN. I'm a massive theme park fan (which you can probably see from my comment history here) and I follow Orlando theme parks particul…
