Bought my wife an espresso machine for Christmas, and we found that Illy is a very delicious coffee brand. Definitely our current favorite.
However, I don't drink that during the work week, so while I'm at work I'll drink whatever. Usually it's the 3-pounds-for-$10 Kirkland brand from Costco...
Yep. We eat there every Wednesday for lunch. Order online, pick up at 1230 during the middle of the lunch rush. Walk in, walk right back out with our food. It's awesome.
And I get a ton of food for $6.96. Honestly it's probably the best deal around for fast food, and I'm full most of the...
Please don't say you're a Pats fan. This is such a ridiculous statement either way, but coming from a Pats fan makes it so much worse.
I still get nervous when watching Super Bowl highlights...from February. The Jets game was in doubt until about a minute left. Yes some games have been...
The games where things go into your drink before you drink it gross me out. Everyone's gnarly hands touching the items, especially quarters. Ugh, is there anything more disgusting than coins? Anyway, when I was in college in the early-mid 90s (get off my lawn, etc.), we had what we called...
The Old Spanish Sugar Mill. Place is awesome but the lines get insane quickly (usually 1-2 hour wait during peak times) which is why we rarely go (we're about 40 minutes away). DeLeon Springs is neat, but there's not a lot to do while waiting.

The Flash is the best live-action DC anything in my opinion. It's incredible what they accomplished in 23 episodes of season 1. Season 2 has been pretty good as well, although topping S1 is a tall order.
I'm in a similar boat. Have lived in the Orlando area the last 15 years and am from the Midwest. Itching to get out West for many of the same reasons as the OP. One of the biggest for me is for my career. While I have a great job here (network engineer), if I want to take it to the next...
So a great example of why we need automated balls and strikes happened tonight. Top of the 9th, Blue Jays batting, runners on 1st and 3rd, 1 out. Ben Revere at the plate, 2-1 count. Ump completely screws Revere with just an awful strike 2 call on a ball that is WAY outside (it's the 4th pitch...
My uncle lives in Barra de Navidad in Jalisco, Mexico. Right on the Pacific coast, just a few miles NW of Manzanillo. Just got word that while he and his wife are safe, his house, shop, and vehicles are destroyed, as well as his restaurant and the hotel the restaurant is a part of. They said...
An automated system was used this year for two minor league games. Seemed to work out fine:

Obviously with this tech being new, there will be kinks, but it's a lot closer to working perfectly than you think.
The *only* human element that matters are the actual players.
The problem with trying to figure out the ump's strike zone is that it's fluid and inconsistent. All of them always are, because they're human. I'm a lifelong baseball fan (41 years and counting), and pisses me off more than...
The human element should only come from the players. It's long past time for automated balls and strikes. Home plate umps have way too much influence on the game. It shouldn't be that way.
Keep umps in the field (with replay), but the arbitrary and fluid strike zone has got to go.
