 | So if the upcoming Knightfall Robin is a repaint of GL Tim Drake Robin, do you guys find it too tall for Batman? And probably against Titans Nightwing too? If so, guess I have to trim 5mm from Robin’s leg. 😅 submitted by noelisimo to McFarlaneFigures [link] [comments] Screenshots from Toy Shiz review. https://youtu.be/jZNw_Xb1nEM |

2023.06.06 22:56 Ask_me_4_a_story Trip Report: Using my Go Wild Pass to Get to Costa Rica (Spoiler Alert I found Wild Sloths!)
Hi Go Wild Friends! In case anyone wants to know about beautiful Costa Rica I went there using my Go Wild pass so I thought I would do a story about what happened in Costa Rica. There aren’t really a lot of travel tips in here, its just the wild shit I got into in Costa Rica. I did another write up with actual tips about South Beach in Miami on a budget here if you want to read that one.
Okay, Costa Rica, so fuckin amazing! I want to fly to all the international places Frontier goes so I decided to do Costa Rica second (Cancun is an easy trip for me in Kansas City, they go nonstop there every weekend). The hardest part about Costa Rica is just getting there, I took a bit of a circuitous route.
I always take a big vacation each year after tax season, its fun for me to turn my phone off and go somewhere off the grid and not even think about work. Last year I went to Argentina and Uruguay and it was wild but honestly, this year was even better! I first wanted to stay with my brother and see my nieces and nephews in Orlando so I booked a one way flight from St. Louis to Orlando for only $19 with my Go Wild pass. I got to take a train from Kansas City to St. Louis, it was only $37 and I loved it actually, something about trains is so fun for me, probably because I took one to Chicago in college and stayed in a homeless shelter, my first real experience solo traveling, I loved it!
I spent the afternoon in St. Louis riding around downtown on those fun scooters and eating chicken wings and walking around the baseball experience place they had, it was a good afternoon. I had a late flight to Orlando but I fucked up the terminal (don't google which terminal is Frontier, its wrong). I went through security and bag check only to find out I was in the wrong terminal so that stunk but I had plenty of time for two security checks so no big deal. The flight was delayed so I didn’t get into Orlando until almost 2am and there was a long line for the rental car. I regret not doing the one you can pick up without talking to an agent so much, it was only like $5 more, do the self check car rental if possible. Orlando was fun, got to see my nieces and nephews and my brother and his wife put a little guest bedroom in the shed, easy to get into at 2am without waking anyone up.
After two days in Orlando it was time for my big flight to Costa Rica! So excited! This flight was only $51 with my Go Wild pass, an absolute steal. It stopped in Atlanta and then I was in Costa Rica in no time. On the plane a bunch of us were excitedly talking about our Go Wild passes, its kind of fun to do the spiderman meme thing and be like, you have a Go Wild pass? Me Too! The ringleader told me there were wild sloths if I went to a place called Manuel Antonio. I said what the fuck did you just say, wild sloths? Oh yes! I literally had no plans for a whole week so I mentally added sloths to the list of things I wanted to see. I have a travel buddy I met in Mexico to visit in San Jose and I wanted to see the volcano and the beaches of course but that was it.
At the airport you will want to get some cash, they have an ATM right there when you walk out. Don’t do the currency exchange, those people were giving really shitty rates. After you get cash walk around outside the airport to the backside, it’s a short walk and that’s where all the city buses come. There are buses to San Jose every 15 minutes, just jump on one of those its only like $1.50 and it goes 25 minutes to downtown. I have a huge aversion to taxis in Latin America, I’ve been ripped off a lot and airports are especially bad.
Once in San Jose you can walk most places, it’s a fun city to walk around. I stayed at the Costa Rica Backpackers hostel which I do not recommend for one big reason. Its so fuckin hot. I didn’t even think about checking for air conditioning, most places have it now. Also, I like hostels and the common areas and the hammocks and I always set up my chess board and play at night with beers. But I really like to have my own room at a hostel. This private room was I think $35 a night which is pretty good but it did not have air conditioning, just a fan recirculating hot air and it was right off the street so yeah, no recommendation for that one, I only stayed one night. That’s the fun thing about how I travel though, no reservations and no plans, if its not great I just go to a different place. I hung out with my travel buddy that night and we smoked a lot of um… cigarettes and went to this place where locals hang out. It was like some fuckin fast and furious movie but with Ticos, guys were just flying around on motorcycles on wheelies. I bought a huge meal for my friend and me, empanadas, a bunch of other Costa Rican food, it was so fuckin good and the whole meal was only $7, ha!
The next morning I set my chess board out at the hostel and I put $10 out on the money clip like I normally do when I travel. It’s a fun way to get people to play, if you beat me you get $10 if I win, nothing. My chess is kind of like a parlor trick too because I play in less than 5 seconds every move so everyone is thinking through it and Im having beers and going quick, usually at a hostel there gets to be a crowd and Im playing four dutch people on warm night in Mexico, so fuckin fun. On this morning a kid came up to play and I was teaching him chess for awhile nervously, I didn’t see his mom anywhere and secondly who brings a kid to a hostel? I couldn’t remember the last time I had seen one. He starts just taking my pieces off the board and then he takes the $10 and says welp I guess I won. I laughed and I said alright then, good job buddy. Just then his mom hobbled over, a Danish hippy with a broken foot. She thanked me for hanging out with him and told me the doctor said not to walk too much but it was hard with a six year old. I said sit down, sit down and I got her breakfast and helped her out. We talked for a bit and I told a funny Mexico story and helped them get their stuff together and she said oh you have to come to our hippy community in Puerto Viejo, you can stay in our shack by the ocean. I said oh that sounds fun today Im going to see a volcano but maybe later. She said they are the most beautiful beaches in Costa Rica, one is entirely black sand. I said Im listening. She said they were poor in a little shack by the rainforest and they have monkeys and sloths in their backyard. I said um what the fuck did you just say? Wild sloths? She said yeah, tons of them. I booked a ticket right away for the 6am bus the next day. I went with my friend to the active volcano and then he dropped me off at my hotel. I booked the Radisson the second night because I really wanted Air Conditioning. Im soft like that, sorry. And it had a hot tub. I’ve never seen that many people in one hot tub, ha. At night I did a Tinder date, I found out all the cabs are pretty much $6 in San Jose so it was easy to get there and back and I went out with a fun lady who told me in Costa Rica they eat chicken wings with gloves, did you guys know that?
I got up at 4:30am and packed up for my 6am bus. At the front desk I asked them if they could call me a cab and they said its an additional $30 US. I was like nah, fuck that, $30? What a ripoff, I’ll just walk, its only 2 miles. So I walk pretty far into downtown San Jose and whoooooooosh, a bottle explodes near me! I go what the fuck and look up, theres a drunk Costa Rican man in a soccer jersey like two blocks away screaming at me in Spanish! I had so many questions, the first of course was who is balling out of control at 5am in the morning? The second was, who the fuck is that Latino Roger Clemens? I could barely see the guy from two streets away and he was (presumably) drunk getting that close to me with a full bottle of beer? The last question of course was who is drunk and throwing FULL bottles of beer? I walked away from his direction and then saw that there was a whole bar full of drunk soccer fans like him and I noped the fuck out and ran to the taxi stand and got a taxi. I said you know what, a taxi isn’t such a bad idea!
I regretted not Googling anything because my phone didn’t work at all in Costa Rica. They said I could buy a sim card but I didn’t want to, I kind of liked being off the grid. But I really wanted to find wild sloths. Maybe the person beside me will help I thought as I stood in line for the 6am bus. Damn, I hope its not someone rapid firing Spanish at me though, my Spanish is not great. Most of my Spanish I’ve learned from the music of Bad Bunny. I was relieved to see my seat in 44 was next to a Japanese man in 45. Oh that’s awesome I thought, he will struggle with Spanish too and we can find wild sloths together. Nope, turns out Im a racist asshole, he was a Japanese Argentinian who spoke perfect Spanish and no English, none. His phone worked too and he was putting all these upside down house letters in Japanese and beautiful beaches were popping up, I really needed his help. I tried to befriend him but they speak a different kind of Spanish in Argentina, cajes instead of calles and so fast, so fuckin fast! His had like a little stall in it before it winded up too, like a UUUUUU mi esposa no esta aqui! His wife was either sleeping back in San Jose or dead, I couldn’t really understand. I noticed he had a bear avatar on his phone so I knew he liked animals so half way through the ride I decided to try to tell him they had sloths there. Hay peresozos en Puerto Viejo I said but he didn’t understand what I was saying. I said peresozos again and put up three fingers mimicking a sloth and then I panicked, I was like shit, what do sloths do? Its an animal famous for not doing anything. I pretended to hang up side down and he is (loudly) guessing animals in Spanish and Im like no, peresozos! Maybe I was saying it wrong but I had no Google so I said es posible tu telefono? And I typed in sloths and all these upside down houses came up and the words Oso Peresozo. And he goes UUUUUU OSO PERESOZO! I don’t know if you’ve ever been on a bus traveling through rural Costa Rica and seen a Japanese Argentinian get excited in Spanish about wild sloths but it is… ADORABLE!
Si SI! Oso Peresozo! I yelled. People are turning around now, they are like why the fuck are the American and Japanese guys back there in 44 and 45 playing charades two hours into a 6am bus ride? I said juntos? (Together) and he said si si! He told me where we could get bikes to rent and what to eat, he was the perfect travel partner! He said Yelp dices Jerk Chicken is the best to eat here. I said thanks Juan, you are my favorite travel partner! We had an amazing day in Puerto Viejo, beautiful beaches, monkeys, wild sloths, God damn that was an amazing day. He even showed me where my hostel was and I dropped off my bag. This hostel was called 456 hostel which I also do not recommend because no AC and there are weird animals running on the roof but I didn’t care, I just wanted to throw down my bag and get back to looking for wild sloths. The lady said we can’t just take your bag you need to check in first, I said listen lady you see that God damn excited Japanese man out there? We got wild sloths to find! I had no desire to spend one second in that hostel but Juan goes “Esta bien, cerveza” and then he had a beer by the ocean while I checked in. I joined him for a beer and it turns out that is a beautiful setting for a hostel. Still don’t recommend though, so fuckin hot.
Juan and I had an amazing day in Puerto Viejo, God damn that place is beautiful. We saw wild sloths, monkeys, and had an amazing time on the beach. I was sad to see him go, what a great travel partner! He pointed to where my hostel was but I said I would ride back into town with him. To be honest, I forgot to write down the name of the bike rental and there was like a hundred in Puerto. I turned my bike in with his to his surprise because we had rented for a full day but I told him I wanted a motorcycle. He used his expert Googling skills to get me to the cheapest motorcycle place. It was only $30 a day for a motorcycle which I thought was very reasonable. And I didn’t have enough cash on me and they didn’t take cards so the rental guy just said no worries man, take de bike to the ATM. That was pretty trusting! I came back with the money and got the bike and I can’t tell you guys the drugs part because the mods said no talking about drugs.
That was such a fast motorcycle. I turned my Bluetooth speaker up all the way and floored it and zoomed down the coast in time for the sunset, so God damn beautiful! Something about that warm Costa Rican sun on your shoulders and the sound of Khalid and the smell of salt in the air riding along the beautiful ocean, it will change your life. After the sunset I went to Cat’s house and her beautiful German friend Alina was there. There were three kids too and as soon as I got there they went riffling through my bag looking for candy. I had two caramels but was one short so I gave the little kid my chips. This was her sad face for not getting candy!
Cat was hobbling around on crutches so Alina and I said sit down we will take care of dinner. I went to the store down the street and got so much stuff for that poor family- toilet paper, rice, peppers and Barbies for the kids and a soccer ball for Marcello. Gringo santa claus when I came back, both the ladies cried, Alina said her girls had never had a Barbie doll. Alina and I cranked up the music in that little hippy house by the ocean and made dinner and drank wine and laughed while the kids played with their new toys and Cat relaxed and finished her remote work. We ate the food and drank the wine and smoked…cigarettes and had an amazing night. Alina asked if I wanted to share the Tuk Tuk and I said yes. She said it in kind of a mischievous way so I thought maybe she wanted to make out. And she was very beautiful so I said yes. We got in the Tuk Tuk and rode back towards town passing my hostel, she winked and said your hostel was back there you know and then put her hand on my arm.
I thought Cat was poor but Alina was super poor. She told the tuk tuk driver to turn left by the trash dump and we pulled up to an even tinier house right next to the rainforest. She said wait out here and I’ll put the kids to bed. So I waited on the porch. The kitchen was actually outside, a little refrigerator and a little stove and a sink. I sat in the chairs and she came out and we smoke a um cigarette together and then she said wait here. I was like fuck, wait her for what? Is she going to rob me or something but she didn’t seem scary, she seemed sweet. She came back out with a big giant mattress and threw it on the porch floor. Then she took off her shirt and said in her German accent, “Un now we share our bodies.” I thought that was a pretty sexy thing to say so I took off my shirt too and joined her except I didn’t want to have unprotected sex with a hippy so we just made out.
Sometime after she slipped back inside so I was alone on the mattress on the backporch by the rainforest. I thought that was a pretty good place to spend my first night in Puerto Viejo and I looked up and saw a hundred million stars lighting up the sky and fell asleep. But not too many hours later, God damn I awoke to a caucophony of jungle sounds! So many monkeys, just fuckin howling. And there were these weird rat things running around, they weren’t small at all, if you’ve ever seen the Princess Bride fucking ROS. (Rodents of Unusual Size). I honestly thought the monkeys were coming on the porch, that’s how loud they were.
I jumped up and leaned the mattress against the house and started walking, past the trash dump and out to the ocean. The first beach I came across was the black beach, it was amazing and I sat there until the sun came up. I had no watch or anything and my phone was dead so I walked for a long ways until I found a Tuk Tuk driver who took me to Cats. I got my motorcycle and went back to the hostel but when I charged my phone I found it was only 6am so I went back to sleep. But the hostel had no AC and there were some fuckin animals on the roof right over my head so I couldn’t sleep much. I went to the beach and found more wild monkeys and then sent Cat a WhatsApp message to see if she needed my help since she had the broken foot and Marcello was home, it was some kind of Costa Rican holiday.
She said sure come over and so I drove my motorcycle back down the coast and went back to the store and got more supplies and cooked them a big lunch. I had asked before if they eat meat because some hippies don’t and she said sure but its expensive here I don’t know if you want to buy it. It was $4 ha, I got some ham and rice and peppers and made a huge lunch and drank some beers and cooked while Cat did her remote work. She took a picture and I asked if she mind taking a short video of me cooking. IT wasn’t for social media or friends or anything, that video was for me so I could remember when I could be happy. A trip to Costa Rica for only $51 with my Go Wild pass and I got to be by the ocean and I met new friends and I was actually helping someone, I realized that day that’s what made me the most happy, that’s why I wanted the video.
After lunch I cleaned up and then Marcello and I played some chess. She asked if I minded watching Marcello while she ran to town with a client and I said sure, no problem. I was wrong, it was a huge fuckin problem! She said she would be back in an hour and then we could go to the hippy get-together on the beach. She was NOT back in an hour and I fuckin panicked. I didn’t know this lady’s last name, I didn’t know Marcello really, I called Cat and she didn’t answer and I tried texting her, nothing. I thought fuck, she must have abandoned me with this kid. And I don’t know how to get ahold of the authorities and it was a holiday, this shit was basically the plot to the Adam Sandler movie Big Daddy. I started pounding beers because I was so nervous. I asked Marcello if he knew Alina’s number and this little dude said, and I quote, “Who’s Alina?” What the fuck? I said buddy, the lady that was here last night with the kids? He said he didn’t know them very much. Oh my God I thought, I’ve definitely been saddled with a kid. But then I was thinking, you know what, I could raise this kid, wouldn’t be that bad, live in this $400 a month house by the ocean, sounds good. But I have my own kids back home in Kansas City and that made me panic even more, now Im fuckin slammin beers so worried. Every car that goes down this little side road Im like oh please be Cat. Now this kid is starting to yell at me to come back out in Norwegian, I don’t know Norwegian and he wants me to read him books, which are also in Norwegian, Im full panicky at this time.
Finally Cat came back I said Cat, I wasn’t comfortable with that, I don’t even know your last name or anything. She goes, why, whats wrong? And goes running in to see Marcello, I said oh no, he’s fine, nothing happened its just that I thought you left and weren’t coming back. She said why would I leave my kid I love him more than anything in the world. I said I know, okay, its just that I was panicking. She said calm down, all good, lets go to the hippy fire circle. I was not going to go, I was going to get the fuck out but I really wanted to go to the fire circle, I was hoping they would let me spin the fire. So we went to the fire circle, Marcello and Cat with the client and me following behind on the motorcycle. We relaxed on the blanket and then up came beautiful Alina looking like a million bucks in the sun tucking her brown hair behind her ears. She got on the blanket with us close to me and I retold the story about how I thought Cat abandoned her kid with me and we all laughed and smoked again and had beers and then watched the sun go down. I didn’t know Marcello didn’t know how to swim so I showed him how to swim a bit, a little lesson in front of the beautiful sunset. After the sun went down it was time for the fire circle and the main guy said brother, thank you for helping Cat, you are in our circle now, whats ours is yours. I said oh man thank you so much can I do the fire spinning? And he said that you can not do. Damn.
So I watched the others spin it jealously and then I got us some appetizer snacks from the restaurant. After the fire circle and the singing and everything we decided to have a picnic at the black beach. They went to the store to get the food and I went to go get my motorcycle. When I got back I guess Alina had stolen something from the store because the workers were all around her and the police were coming. It was equally sad and scary. They took everything she bought away and Cat said its okay she had enough so we all walked to the black sand beach and I gave Alina a hard time for being a thief until we all were laughing. We had a great night by the ocean and then they both got Tuk Tuks and I got on my motorcycle and drove back to the hot hostel and fell asleep and I never saw those hippies again. The end.

There are buses to San Jose every 15 minutes, just jump on one of those its only like $1.50 and it goes 25 minutes to downtown. I have a huge aversion to taxis in Latin America, I’ve been ripped off a lot and airports are especially bad.
Once in San Jose you can walk most places, it’s a fun city to walk around. I stayed at the Costa Rica Backpackers hostel which I do not recommend for one big reason. Its so fuckin hot. I didn’t even think about checking for air conditioning, most places have it now. Also, I like hostels and the common areas and the hammocks and I always set up my chess board and play at night with beers. But I really like to have my own room at a hostel. This private room was I think $35 a night which is pretty good but it did not have air conditioning, just a fan recirculating hot air and it was right off the street so yeah, no recommendation for that one, I only stayed one night. That’s the fun thing about how I travel though, no reservations and no plans, if its not great I just go to a different place. I hung out with my travel buddy that night and we smoked a lot of um… cigarettes and went to this place where locals hang out. It was like some fuckin fast and furious movie but with Ticos, guys were just flying around on motorcycles on wheelies. I bought a huge meal for my friend and me, empanadas, a bunch of other Costa Rican food, it was so fuckin good and the whole meal was only $7, ha!
The next morning I set my chess board out at the hostel and I put $10 out on the money clip like I normally do when I travel. It’s a fun way to get people to play, if you beat me you get $10 if I win, nothing. My chess is kind of like a parlor trick too because I play in less than 5 seconds every move so everyone is thinking through it and Im having beers and going quick, usually at a hostel there gets to be a crowd and Im playing four dutch people on warm night in Mexico, so fuckin fun. On this morning a kid came up to play and I was teaching him chess for awhile nervously, I didn’t see his mom anywhere and secondly who brings a kid to a hostel? I couldn’t remember the last time I had seen one. He starts just taking my pieces off the board and then he takes the $10 and says welp I guess I won. I laughed and I said alright then, good job buddy. Just then his mom hobbled over, a Danish hippy with a broken foot. She thanked me for hanging out with him and told me the doctor said not to walk too much but it was hard with a six year old. I said sit down, sit down and I got her breakfast and helped her out. We talked for a bit and I told a funny Mexico story and helped them get their stuff together and she said oh you have to come to our hippy community in Puerto Viejo, you can stay in our shack by the ocean. I said oh that sounds fun today Im going to see a volcano but maybe later. She said they are the most beautiful beaches in Costa Rica, one is entirely black sand. I said Im listening. She said they were poor in a little shack by the rainforest and they have monkeys and sloths in their backyard. I said um what the fuck did you just say? Wild sloths? She said yeah, tons of them. I booked a ticket right away for the 6am bus the next day. I went with my friend to the active volcano and then he dropped me off at my hotel. I booked the Radisson the second night because I really wanted Air Conditioning. Im soft like that, sorry. And it had a hot tub. I’ve never seen that many people in one hot tub, ha. At night I did a Tinder date, I found out all the cabs are pretty much $6 in San Jose so it was easy to get there and back and I went out with a fun lady who told me in Costa Rica they eat chicken wings with gloves, did you guys know that?
I got up at 4:30am and packed up for my 6am bus. At the front desk I asked them if they could call me a cab and they said its an additional $30 US. I was like nah, fuck that, $30? What a ripoff, I’ll just walk, its only 2 miles. So I walk pretty far into downtown San Jose and whoooooooosh, a bottle explodes near me! I go what the fuck and look up, theres a drunk Costa Rican man in a soccer jersey like two blocks away screaming at me in Spanish! I had so many questions, the first of course was who is balling out of control at 5am in the morning? The second was, who the fuck is that Latino Roger Clemens? I could barely see the guy from two streets away and he was (presumably) drunk getting that close to me with a full bottle of beer? The last question of course was who is drunk and throwing FULL bottles of beer? I walked away from his direction and then saw that there was a whole bar full of drunk soccer fans like him and I noped the fuck out and ran to the taxi stand and got a taxi. I said you know what, a taxi isn’t such a bad idea!
I regretted not Googling anything because my phone didn’t work at all in Costa Rica. They said I could buy a sim card but I didn’t want to, I kind of liked being off the grid. But I really wanted to find wild sloths. Maybe the person beside me will help I thought as I stood in line for the 6am bus. Damn, I hope its not someone rapid firing Spanish at me though, my Spanish is not great. Most of my Spanish I’ve learned from the music of Bad Bunny. I was relieved to see my seat in 44 was next to a Japanese man in 45. Oh that’s awesome I thought, he will struggle with Spanish too and we can find wild sloths together. Nope, turns out Im a racist asshole, he was a Japanese Argentinian who spoke perfect Spanish and no English, none. His phone worked too and he was putting all these upside down house letters in Japanese and beautiful beaches were popping up, I really needed his help. I tried to befriend him but they speak a different kind of Spanish in Argentina, cajes instead of calles and so fast, so fuckin fast! His had like a little stall in it before it winded up too, like a UUUUUU mi esposa no esta aqui! His wife was either sleeping back in San Jose or dead, I couldn’t really understand. I noticed he had a bear avatar on his phone so I knew he liked animals so half way through the ride I decided to try to tell him they had sloths there. Hay peresozos en Puerto Viejo I said but he didn’t understand what I was saying. I said peresozos again and put up three fingers mimicking a sloth and then I panicked, I was like shit, what do sloths do? Its an animal famous for not doing anything. I pretended to hang up side down and he is (loudly) guessing animals in Spanish and Im like no, peresozos! Maybe I was saying it wrong but I had no Google so I said es posible tu telefono? And I typed in sloths and all these upside down houses came up and the words Oso Peresozo. And he goes UUUUUU OSO PERESOZO! I don’t know if you’ve ever been on a bus traveling through rural Costa Rica and seen a Japanese Argentinian get excited in Spanish about wild sloths but it is… ADORABLE!
Si SI! Oso Peresozo! I yelled. People are turning around now, they are like why the fuck are the American and Japanese guys back there in 44 and 45 playing charades two hours into a 6am bus ride? I said juntos? (Together) and he said si si! He told me where we could get bikes to rent and what to eat, he was the perfect travel partner! He said Yelp dices Jerk Chicken is the best to eat here. I said thanks Juan, you are my favorite travel partner! We had an amazing day in Puerto Viejo, beautiful beaches, monkeys, wild sloths, God damn that was an amazing day. He even showed me where my hostel was and I dropped off my bag. This hostel was called 456 hostel which I also do not recommend because no AC and there are weird animals running on the roof but I didn’t care, I just wanted to throw down my bag and get back to looking for wild sloths. The lady said we can’t just take your bag you need to check in first, I said listen lady you see that God damn excited Japanese man out there? We got wild sloths to find! I had no desire to spend one second in that hostel but Juan goes “Esta bien, cerveza” and then he had a beer by the ocean while I checked in. I joined him for a beer and it turns out that is a beautiful setting for a hostel. Still don’t recommend though, so fuckin hot.
Juan and I had an amazing day in Puerto Viejo, God damn that place is beautiful. We saw wild sloths, monkeys, and had an amazing time on the beach. I was sad to see him go, what a great travel partner! He pointed to where my hostel was but I said I would ride back into town with him. To be honest, I forgot to write down the name of the bike rental and there was like a hundred in Puerto. I turned my bike in with his to his surprise because we had rented for a full day but I told him I wanted a motorcycle. He used his expert Googling skills to get me to the cheapest motorcycle place. It was only $30 a day for a motorcycle which I thought was very reasonable. And I didn’t have enough cash on me and they didn’t take cards so the rental guy just said no worries man, take de bike to the ATM. That was pretty trusting! I came back with the money and got the bike and I can’t tell you guys the drugs part because the mods said no talking about drugs.
That was such a fast motorcycle. I turned my Bluetooth speaker up all the way and floored it and zoomed down the coast in time for the sunset, so God damn beautiful! Something about that warm Costa Rican sun on your shoulders and the sound of Khalid and the smell of salt in the air riding along the beautiful ocean, it will change your life. After the sunset I went to Cat’s house and her beautiful German friend Alina was there. There were three kids too and as soon as I got there they went riffling through my bag looking for candy. I had two caramels but was one short so I gave the little kid my chips. This was her sad face for not getting candy!
Cat was hobbling around on crutches so Alina and I said sit down we will take care of dinner. I went to the store down the street and got so much stuff for that poor family- toilet paper, rice, peppers and Barbies for the kids and a soccer ball for Marcello. Gringo santa claus when I came back, both the ladies cried, Alina said her girls had never had a Barbie doll. Alina and I cranked up the music in that little hippy house by the ocean and made dinner and drank wine and laughed while the kids played with their new toys and Cat relaxed and finished her remote work. We ate the food and drank the wine and smoked…cigarettes and had an amazing night. Alina asked if I wanted to share the Tuk Tuk and I said yes. She said it in kind of a mischievous way so I thought maybe she wanted to make out. And she was very beautiful so I said yes. We got in the Tuk Tuk and rode back towards town passing my hostel, she winked and said your hostel was back there you know and then put her hand on my arm.
I thought Cat was poor but Alina was super poor. She told the tuk tuk driver to turn left by the trash dump and we pulled up to an even tinier house right next to the rainforest. She said wait out here and I’ll put the kids to bed. So I waited on the porch. The kitchen was actually outside, a little refrigerator and a little stove and a sink. I sat in the chairs and she came out and we smoke a um cigarette together and then she said wait here. I was like fuck, wait her for what? Is she going to rob me or something but she didn’t seem scary, she seemed sweet. She came back out with a big giant mattress and threw it on the porch floor. Then she took off her shirt and said in her German accent, “Un now we share our bodies.” I thought that was a pretty sexy thing to say so I took off my shirt too and joined her except I didn’t want to have unprotected sex with a hippy so we just made out.
Sometime after she slipped back inside so I was alone on the mattress on the backporch by the rainforest. I thought that was a pretty good place to spend my first night in Puerto Viejo and I looked up and saw a hundred million stars lighting up the sky and fell asleep. But not too many hours later, God damn I awoke to a caucophony of jungle sounds! So many monkeys, just fuckin howling. And there were these weird rat things running around, they weren’t small at all, if you’ve ever seen the Princess Bride fucking ROS. (Rodents of Unusual Size). I honestly thought the monkeys were coming on the porch, that’s how loud they were.
I jumped up and leaned the mattress against the house and started walking, past the trash dump and out to the ocean. The first beach I came across was the black beach, it was amazing and I sat there until the sun came up. I had no watch or anything and my phone was dead so I walked for a long ways until I found a Tuk Tuk driver who took me to Cats. I got my motorcycle and went back to the hostel but when I charged my phone I found it was only 6am so I went back to sleep. But the hostel had no AC and there were some fuckin animals on the roof right over my head so I couldn’t sleep much. I went to the beach and found more wild monkeys and then sent Cat a WhatsApp message to see if she needed my help since she had the broken foot and Marcello was home, it was some kind of Costa Rican holiday.
She said sure come over and so I drove my motorcycle back down the coast and went back to the store and got more supplies and cooked them a big lunch. I had asked before if they eat meat because some hippies don’t and she said sure but its expensive here I don’t know if you want to buy it. It was $4 ha, I got some ham and rice and peppers and made a huge lunch and drank some beers and cooked while Cat did her remote work. She took a picture and I asked if she mind taking a short video of me cooking. IT wasn’t for social media or friends or anything, that video was for me so I could remember when I could be happy. A trip to Costa Rica for only $51 with my Go Wild pass and I got to be by the ocean and I met new friends and I was actually helping someone, I realized that day that’s what made me the most happy, that’s why I wanted the video.
After lunch I cleaned up and then Marcello and I played some chess. She asked if I minded watching Marcello while she ran to town with a client and I said sure, no problem. I was wrong, it was a huge fuckin problem! She said she would be back in an hour and then we could go to the hippy get-together on the beach. She was NOT back in an hour and I fuckin panicked. I didn’t know this lady’s last name, I didn’t know Marcello really, I called Cat and she didn’t answer and I tried texting her, nothing. I thought fuck, she must have abandoned me with this kid. And I don’t know how to get ahold of the authorities and it was a holiday, this shit was basically the plot to the Adam Sandler movie Big Daddy. I started pounding beers because I was so nervous. I asked Marcello if he knew Alina’s number and this little dude said, and I quote, “Who’s Alina?” What the fuck? I said buddy, the lady that was here last night with the kids? He said he didn’t know them very much. Oh my God I thought, I’ve definitely been saddled with a kid. But then I was thinking, you know what, I could raise this kid, wouldn’t be that bad, live in this $400 a month house by the ocean, sounds good. But I have my own kids back home in Kansas City and that made me panic even more, now Im fuckin slammin beers so worried. Every car that goes down this little side road Im like oh please be Cat. Now this kid is starting to yell at me to come back out in Norwegian, I don’t know Norwegian and he wants me to read him books, which are also in Norwegian, Im full panicky at this time.
Finally Cat came back I said Cat, I wasn’t comfortable with that, I don’t even know your last name or anything. She goes, why, whats wrong? And goes running in to see Marcello, I said oh no, he’s fine, nothing happened its just that I thought you left and weren’t coming back. She said why would I leave my kid I love him more than anything in the world. I said I know, okay, its just that I was panicking. She said calm down, all good, lets go to the hippy fire circle. I was not going to go, I was going to get the fuck out but I really wanted to go to the fire circle, I was hoping they would let me spin the fire. So we went to the fire circle, Marcello and Cat with the client and me following behind on the motorcycle. We relaxed on the blanket and then up came beautiful Alina looking like a million bucks in the sun tucking her brown hair behind her ears. She got on the blanket with us close to me and I retold the story about how I thought Cat abandoned her kid with me and we all laughed and smoked again and had beers and then watched the sun go down. I didn’t know Marcello didn’t know how to swim so I showed him how to swim a bit, a little lesson in front of the beautiful sunset. After the sun went down it was time for the fire circle and the main guy said brother, thank you for helping Cat, you are in our circle now, whats ours is yours. I said oh man thank you so much can I do the fire spinning? And he said that you can not do. Damn.
So I watched the others spin it jealously and then I got us some appetizer snacks from the restaurant. After the fire circle and the singing and everything we decided to have a picnic at the black beach. They went to the store to get the food and I went to go get my motorcycle. When I got back I guess Alina had stolen something from the store because the workers were all around her and the police were coming. It was equally sad and scary. They took everything she bought away and Cat said its okay she had enough so we all walked to the black sand beach and I gave Alina a hard time for being a thief until we all were laughing. We had a great night by the ocean and then they both got Tuk Tuks and I got on my motorcycle and drove back to the hot hostel and fell asleep and I never saw those hippies again. The end.
2023.06.06 21:52 Federal-Influence672 Hotel agent appreciation?
Hi everyone We (our band) are travelling to Nova Scotia this summer to compete in piping competitions. We’ve booked a hotel after MUCH back and forth and I’d like to say thanks to the hotel team who were so patient with us. Would bringing a bottle of our local booze or gift cards for local (to them) stores or something like that be appropriate? We will definitely be writing a review for them, any other thoughts?

2023.06.06 21:11 autobuzzfeedbot 20 Actors Who Were So Beloved Voicing Characters, They Were Then Cast In The Live-Action Adaptations
- First, Katee Sackhoff voiced Bo-Katan in Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels, so when it came time to cast the character for The Mandalorian, Katee was offered the role.

- Jodi Benson voiced and did the singing for Ariel in the 1989 Disney movie The Little Mermaid. In the recent live-action film, she can be seen giving Ariel a fork during the market place scene — a literal passing of the baton.
- James Earl Jones lent his iconic voice to The Lion King when he portrayed Mufasa. His performance was so iconic that when Disney made the live-action version in 2019, James was brought back to play Mufasa once again.
- Jean Vander Pyl, who voiced Wilma in the original The Flintstones animated series, made an appearance in the 1994 live-action movie. She played Mrs. Feldspar, Fred's former teacher who attends his surprise party.

- Kevin Conroy voiced Batman in various animated projects starting with the beloved Batman: The Animated Series. He appeared as Bruce Wayne/Batman from another Earth in an episode of Batwoman, as part of the massive Arrowverse crossover event "Crisis on Infinite Earths."
- Ikue Ōtani, who is best known for voicing Pikachu in various Pokémon films, shows, and video games, actually voiced Det. Pikachu in the movie Detective Pikachu. Her voice can be heard as Pikachu's "normal voice," aka what the citizens of Ryme City hear besides Tim, who hears Pikachu as voiced by Ryan Reynolds.
- Nolan North, who voiced and did the motion capture for Nathan Drake in the Uncharted video games, made a cameo in the live-action movie starring Tom Holland. He can be seen as a hotel guest sitting on a beach, who talks to Nate and Chloe after they wash up on shore.
- Tara Strong voices Harley Quinn in various animated shows, movies, and video games, so when it came time to make a nod to the character in a Suicide Squad episode of The CW's Arrow, Tara provided the voice. She was credited as "Deranged Squad Female."
- Jim Cummings has provided the voices for Winnie the Pooh and Tigger since the late '80s, so when Disney brought the characters to life in the live-action Christopher Robin, Jim was naturally asked to do their voices.
- Ashley Eckstein, who voiced Ahsoka Tano in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Tales of the Jedi, various video games, and more made a quick voice cameo in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. She can be heard reprising the role of Ahsoka when Rey hears various past Jedi.

2023.06.06 20:30 Extension-Captain-56 Follow up about false/exaggerated review from host who scheduled a 6+ hour pool repair without telling me
Sorry this is SO long, I just want to give all the details. I called airbnb who is reviewing the case, but I don't have a great feeling about it. They didn't take ask for my side of the story or anything. Are there any other steps I should take?
Their review: "I would urge future hosts to use caution with hosting this guest. We had an unforseen issue occur with our pool filter, which required an immediate repair on the unit. This guest became very hostile and demanded we refund her for the day. The pool was out of commission for 4 total hours. We refunded her $200 for the inconvenience but that just wasn't enough for her. We have hosted thousands of guests, and guests like this are not the ones you want at your property. They will find a very minimal issue, and use it against you in an attempt to gain some sort of refund. It's borderline fraud. She was also extremeley rude, disrespectful, and belittling to me and my entire team. We did everything we could to explain to her that sometimes unforseen issues arise, and we do our best to resolve them in a timely manner. Please don't put yourself through the headache of hosting name, I promise you will regret it."
Background info/responses to their review:
"unforseen issue, which required an immediate repair on the unit"- They told me the home owner scheduled the repair last minute & didn't tell them until the night before... they never passed the information along to me, I just woke up to multiple men in the backyard. I also didn't have or report any issues with the pool, so I'm not sure how something unforeseen and immediate arose on my 4th day there.
"This guest became very hostile and demanded we refund her for the day."- I was not hostile, nor did I "demand" anything. My words were "i'm requesting a refund for the full day i didn't have use to the amenity i spent $3500 to use."
"out of commission for 4 total hours"- 6+ hours** I woke to them at 9am and they left after 3:30...
"They will find a very minimal issue, and use it against you in an attempt to gain some sort of refund."- I've stayed at many airbnbs and hotels, and never had any problems or requested refunds. I don't knit pick for problems and didn't add in all the other problems with the house since they didn't impact my stay. This was a full day without the pool, which is the main amenity I booked this very expensive luxury home for. I had no plans on the trip other than to lounge by the pool. Didn't feel like a minimal issue to me and I genuinely did nothing that day except swim once they left. I know that's on me, but I was there FOR the pool.
"She was also extremeley rude, disrespectful, and belittling"- I was upset, but I don't believe this is true. The worst I said was "okay you can do whatever you want, so that's just a lie. this will definitely be in my review. absolutely horrible and unprofessional experience. thanks for ruining my vacation. $200 for a $600 day that i spent inside hiding. genuinely so ridiculous." in response to them saying "I sent you a $200 reimbursement. I’m unable to refund you for the entire day of your stay. I understand your frustration, and I apologize again for the inconvenience. I’m not trying to downplay it, but what can I do at this point. It’s already been done. I hope you have a safe day of travel, and sorry again." This was after a long conversation where I was nice and just explaining the situation.... all they would reply was "I apologize for the inconvenience" over and over. I know my last reply was wrong, but I don't think it justifies their review.
As angry as I was about how the whole thing was handled, I took the advice here and held back from putting too much emotion in my review or fabricating details. This is mine, in case it matters- "Beautiful home, but I wish I'd booked elsewhere. On my last day, pool cleaners came for a 6.5 hour repair that no one told me about until I asked why they were there. I got a small refund, but don't feel like it made up for the invasion of privacy and an entire day without the pool, which is the reason I chose the home. There were a few other problems, but nothing big enough to upset me. The property itself was incredible and is exactly as pictured in the listing."

Please don't put yourself through the headache of hosting name, I promise you will regret it."
Background info/responses to their review:
"unforseen issue, which required an immediate repair on the unit"- They told me the home owner scheduled the repair last minute & didn't tell them until the night before... they never passed the information along to me, I just woke up to multiple men in the backyard. I also didn't have or report any issues with the pool, so I'm not sure how something unforeseen and immediate arose on my 4th day there.
"This guest became very hostile and demanded we refund her for the day."- I was not hostile, nor did I "demand" anything. My words were "i'm requesting a refund for the full day i didn't have use to the amenity i spent $3500 to use."
"out of commission for 4 total hours"- 6+ hours** I woke to them at 9am and they left after 3:30...
"They will find a very minimal issue, and use it against you in an attempt to gain some sort of refund."- I've stayed at many airbnbs and hotels, and never had any problems or requested refunds. I don't knit pick for problems and didn't add in all the other problems with the house since they didn't impact my stay. This was a full day without the pool, which is the main amenity I booked this very expensive luxury home for. I had no plans on the trip other than to lounge by the pool. Didn't feel like a minimal issue to me and I genuinely did nothing that day except swim once they left. I know that's on me, but I was there FOR the pool.
"She was also extremeley rude, disrespectful, and belittling"- I was upset, but I don't believe this is true. The worst I said was "okay you can do whatever you want, so that's just a lie. this will definitely be in my review. absolutely horrible and unprofessional experience. thanks for ruining my vacation. $200 for a $600 day that i spent inside hiding. genuinely so ridiculous." in response to them saying "I sent you a $200 reimbursement. I’m unable to refund you for the entire day of your stay. I understand your frustration, and I apologize again for the inconvenience. I’m not trying to downplay it, but what can I do at this point. It’s already been done. I hope you have a safe day of travel, and sorry again." This was after a long conversation where I was nice and just explaining the situation.... all they would reply was "I apologize for the inconvenience" over and over. I know my last reply was wrong, but I don't think it justifies their review.
As angry as I was about how the whole thing was handled, I took the advice here and held back from putting too much emotion in my review or fabricating details. This is mine, in case it matters- "Beautiful home, but I wish I'd booked elsewhere. On my last day, pool cleaners came for a 6.5 hour repair that no one told me about until I asked why they were there. I got a small refund, but don't feel like it made up for the invasion of privacy and an entire day without the pool, which is the reason I chose the home. There were a few other problems, but nothing big enough to upset me. The property itself was incredible and is exactly as pictured in the listing."

2023.06.06 20:10 gextyr Oceanic Jetpack Review
TLDR – The Jetpack is quite good for certain kinds of travel, offers some handy features, is not of particularly robust construction, and has a few minor design issues, but I like it for its intended use.
Now that I have completed about 40 dives with my Oceanic Jetpack, including many local dives and a few significant trips – I think it is time for a full review. I am not in any way affiliated with Oceanic – this is my review, and I’m going to give you both positives and negatives. My primary recreational dive gear includes an OxyCheq 18lb Mach V wing (no STA), on an aluminum backplate with a standard “Hogarthian” harness. Aside from the Jetpack and Accel fins discussed here, plus an FDX10 regulator I bought almost a decade ago, I don’t own any other Aeris/Oceanic products. I will also tell you up front that I have no plans of ditching my well-loved BP/W – but I now have another handy option for lightweight travel. The Jetpack has been available for about a decade now, originally under the Aeris brand, and now under Oceanic. They are no longer listed on Oceanic’s website, as the Biolite is their current flagship travel BC – but you can still readily find Jetpacks for sale. The list price is around $600 USD, but you can often find them for closer to $500, or even less. When they first came out, I wrote them off as a gimmick – not at all suitable for a Serious Scuba Diver™ *cough*. I only decided to buy it because I found a good deal on one, and I had some annual scuba budget to burn, and thought it might be handy for solo trips. However, as gimmicky as they are, I find they do fit an important niche: ultralight dive travel. All your dive gear trip can be packed in a lightweight backpack which can fit under an airplane seat! Cool, idea in theory – but how well does it works in practice?
First, let’s talk about what you get. The concept is this – a BCD that turns into a backpack. The actual implementation of this is a back-inflate BCD which allows you to remove the cummerbund/waist band and stow it, along with the wing, cam bands, inflator, inside a zipped compartment for travel. You can also stow other wet gear in that zip-up space when you disembark from the dive boat. It also comes with a semi-dry backpack to stow the rest of your gear. The backpack snaps onto the BCD portion for travel, but also has its own straps so it can be worn separately as just a nice lightweight day pack.
When my Jetpack arrived, and I opened the box, I was happy to see it came with two non-dump-able cam-band weight pockets, as well as the two quick-release weight pouches on the waist. I don’t know their official capacity, but you should be able to add around 10lbs on your hips, and another 6lbs on the cam-band. It also came with an appropriate length LP hose, which seems to be the standard these days, and is much appreciated. When all is said and done, you basically have a standard BCD which just packs up very cleanly, and a good backpack.
For the primary intent of this system – travel – it is quite a good system. I can fit my boots, regulator, and a shorty wetsuit (the wet stuff) in the BCD compartment, and the rest of my gear, including a small (SeaLife) camera and lights in the backpack portion, with room left over for clothes, snacks, and other travel necessities. While trudging through airports, I have found myself wishing they had included a mesh water-bottle pocket on one side like most backpacks have these days, but it isn’t a deal-breaker. I have now travelled to two Caribbean islands, and to Hawaii with it – and in all three cases I did not need to check any dive gear. My visit to Hawaii was a one-week solo business trip, and I didn’t check anything at all! My dive gear, laptop, camera, various batteries and electronics, and travel snacks all stayed in the Jetpack, while my clothes, fins, and other various necessities went into a roll-aboard suitcase. I managed to fit a week’s worth of business attire, casual attire, and all of my dive gear into my carry-on allowance! Beat that! For the other trips mentioned, I chose to check bags since I was traveling with family, and they were going to check theirs anyway – but for the first time in a while, my bags weren’t overweight since all my dive gear was carried on!
One word of warning – the backpack doesn’t fit “real” dive fins. Oceanic advertised the Jetpack with their Accel travel fins, which I went ahead and purchased when I ordered the BCD itself. I require the X-Large Accel fins, and they don’t really fit in the backpack. At least, not if I want to fit anything else in it. I imagine if you don’t have giant feet like me, you might be able to get away with packing your fins in the backpack. A quick note on the super lightweight Accel fins: I’ve worn them for every dive I’ve done with the Jetpack – I am mostly happy with them for low-current, easy, tropical diving. They aren’t quite big enough or stiff enough to provide the power I’d want for anything more advanced. I’m not giving up my Jet fins any time soon, but I will continue traveling with the Accel fins when it makes sense.
The biggest plus for the Jetpack, as far as I’m concerned, and every bit as important as the ease of travel – is the fact that I am just carrying a single, compact backpack onto the dive boat. I have ranted many times before about how much I loathe dive gear bags. On a cramped dive boat, big gear bags are a pain for everyone. There is no such thing as a dive gear bag that doesn’t suck (fight me!) I have tried everything from cheap mesh duffels to expensive fancy name-brand gear bags – and they have all let me down in one way or another. Even if gear bags weren’t a problem, carrying ONLY a backpack onto the boat – and nothing else – is so utterly wonderful I can hardly describe it. You are bound to get questions about it on the dive boat (“Are you renting gear? No? Well, where is yours?!”)
Above all, the Jetpack helps keep your space on the dive boat neat and tidy. I find that when I get on the boat, I’ll set up the tank with BCD and reg, clip my mask to a d-ring with a double-ender, stow the fins, don my wetsuit and boots… then the only “loose” item remaining is a small, handy semi-dry bag to stow odds and ends (phone, car keys, hat, sunglasses, dry clothes, etc.) The backpack easily stows under your seat or in a dry box on the boat – and even if it is somewhere wet, your stuff will stay (mostly) dry. No more mess, no more gear scattered around the boat, no more getting in the way of other divers, no more fighting over stowage space for gear bags. At the end of the dive, everything quickly stows back into the backpack configuration. With a Jetpack, you’ll probably be the first diver to be set up and ready to dive - and be the first one off the boat at the end of your trip.
Now let’s discuss fit, configuration, comfort, and in-water performance. The Jetpack is easier to adjust to different sizes than many BCDs - the shoulder straps, chest strap and cummerbund/waist strap are almost infinitely adjustable. As a BP/W fan, I usually take this for granted – but I know many jacket BCDs have limited size adjustment. I'm a big dude, and the fit is perfect for me... but my skinny 10-year-old son can comfortably wear it too after some minor reconfiguring. Setup and teardown are every bit as easy as they show in the YouTube promotional video (https://youtu.be/r9y5MOKn\_iM).
Now, after all this praise, there are also a few questionable design choices I’d like to discuss. The first ones that come to mind is that the zip-up compartment cover for the BCD rolls up and stays with the BCD when you dive. I prefer less “stuff” on my BCD which causes drag or can get snagged/tangled. It seems to me they could have just made the cover panel zip all the way off. Once you unzip the cover panel, you roll it up and Velcro it under the wing, and also Velcro the edges of the zipper compartment out of the way.
The other problem with setting up the BCD is installing/removing the waist strap. Let me be clear, it isn’t hard to assemble – but it does require some dexterity. To get around this, I have been happily wearing it, even in the airport, with the waist strap still attached. The weight pockets just become snack pockets while you are flying! Plus, if you leave the waist strap attached, setup on the boat goes from a few minutes down to a few seconds.
The biggest issue I have with the Jetpack is a lack of good attachment points. For instance, it is missing shoulder d-rings (likely to save weight and cost), which was very nearly a deal-breaker for me. What they give you instead is some fabric loops which are useless unless you are attaching something with a carabiner (known by ScubaBoard afficionados as “suicide clips”, but I don’t really want to have that fight here.) The loops might work for XL bolt snaps as well, but I prefer to use smaller bolt snaps unless I am wearing thick gloves. The good news is that you can add your own d-rings to the 1.5” webbing on the shoulders. I did that on mine (currently using 2” sliders until my 1.5” ones arrive in the mail) and replaced the inflator strap with a bungee loop while I was at it. Good to go! The second related issue here is that the hip d-rings suck. I keep my SPG clipped at my left hip, and the clip point on the Jetpack isn't quite where I like it. It also it isn't readily adjustable – without changing the fit of the cummerbund. If it were just the placement, it wouldn’t be a big deal. Unfortunately, it is also a flat plastic d-ring which flops around where it is stitched in, instead of a snug metal d-ring held by a slider. This makes one-handed SPG clip-off a bit trickier than it should be, which is annoying.
While diving, the BCD is, well... just a BCD. It works. The controls are exactly what you expect. The inflator hose is a pull-to-dump style, which is handy, but I mostly use the bottom (butt) dump - which is also fine. It has more lift than anyone would ever need for a single tank, although I expect it will almost exclusively be used with AL80s. I don't care for bungees on my wing, but they make sense on the Jetpack, given its purpose. If they bother you, they can be removed. It isn’t as stable as my beloved BP/W – no surprise - that's just the nature of a lightweight travel setup. Yet, it is still a back-inflate style BCD though, so I can deal with it a little floppiness (is that even a word?) and had no trouble getting my trim dialed in. Overall, it was comfortable on the surface, and (more importantly) while diving.
Next - the quality… The construction is very lightweight as expected, but that makes me a little worried about how well it will hold up. In the year I’ve had it, and the 40ish dives I’ve done with it, I haven’t had anything break/teafail/etc. but I still have some concerns. The most obvious weakness is the little fiddly Velcro hook-and-loop bits, such as the straps to hold the rolled-up cover while it is in BCD mode (and which hold the inflator when in backpack mode.) If those fail, you’ll be left with a huge waving flag of fabric during a dive. There are better options than Velcro for this component - perhaps some stainless grommets and bungee loops. In the 40 or so dives I’ve done, I have had no issues other than minor fraying of the edges of some of the Velcro, but we'll see how it looks after a few years. Simply put, like any lightweight travel BCD, you need to be gentle with the Jetpack. Unlike other travel BCDs, though, the Jetpack will be carried unprotected through airports, tossed in overhead bins, and dropped on hotel floors.
The last and final complaint I have is the construction of the shoulder straps. On any BCD, when the actual weight-bearing shoulder strap is separate from the padding, it is destined to be a little awkward. To make the BCD as adjustable as possible, the shoulders straps of the Jetpack are constructed from soft 1.5” webbing, with pads underneath the strap, which tuck into pockets below the shoulder strap attachment point. Generally, this works well – however, sometimes the shoulder pads slip out of their pockets. This mostly occurs when I don/doff the BCD, or when I have it packed to carry off the boat. The fix would be to add a pad of Velcro inside the pockets where the pads tuck in. I feel like Oceanic could have also used normal 2” stiff webbing. That might lessen the problem with the shoulder pads and make it possible to put on standard 2” sliders and d-rings.
Finally – for the price point, you can absolutely get a “better” BCD. You can certainly find a lightweight travel BCD for about the same price. Yet, you won’t find something else with these features - above all, the ability to walk on/off the dive boat with just a compact backpack. The Jetpack isn’t perfect – the construction could be a little more robust, and there are some design changes I’d love to see Oceanic make if they ever re-release it. It can’t and won’t replace my BP/W for most of my diving needs, and I never expected it to. It has a very specific purpose, perhaps even more specific than a typical “travel” BCD. However, the Jetpack allows me to pack up all my dive gear into a compact backpack for travel, which is a fantastic and mostly well-executed idea.

I don't care for bungees on my wing, but they make sense on the Jetpack, given its purpose. If they bother you, they can be removed. It isn’t as stable as my beloved BP/W – no surprise - that's just the nature of a lightweight travel setup. Yet, it is still a back-inflate style BCD though, so I can deal with it a little floppiness (is that even a word?) and had no trouble getting my trim dialed in. Overall, it was comfortable on the surface, and (more importantly) while diving.
Next - the quality… The construction is very lightweight as expected, but that makes me a little worried about how well it will hold up. In the year I’ve had it, and the 40ish dives I’ve done with it, I haven’t had anything break/teafail/etc. but I still have some concerns. The most obvious weakness is the little fiddly Velcro hook-and-loop bits, such as the straps to hold the rolled-up cover while it is in BCD mode (and which hold the inflator when in backpack mode.) If those fail, you’ll be left with a huge waving flag of fabric during a dive. There are better options than Velcro for this component - perhaps some stainless grommets and bungee loops. In the 40 or so dives I’ve done, I have had no issues other than minor fraying of the edges of some of the Velcro, but we'll see how it looks after a few years. Simply put, like any lightweight travel BCD, you need to be gentle with the Jetpack. Unlike other travel BCDs, though, the Jetpack will be carried unprotected through airports, tossed in overhead bins, and dropped on hotel floors.
The last and final complaint I have is the construction of the shoulder straps. On any BCD, when the actual weight-bearing shoulder strap is separate from the padding, it is destined to be a little awkward. To make the BCD as adjustable as possible, the shoulders straps of the Jetpack are constructed from soft 1.5” webbing, with pads underneath the strap, which tuck into pockets below the shoulder strap attachment point. Generally, this works well – however, sometimes the shoulder pads slip out of their pockets. This mostly occurs when I don/doff the BCD, or when I have it packed to carry off the boat. The fix would be to add a pad of Velcro inside the pockets where the pads tuck in. I feel like Oceanic could have also used normal 2” stiff webbing. That might lessen the problem with the shoulder pads and make it possible to put on standard 2” sliders and d-rings.
Finally – for the price point, you can absolutely get a “better” BCD. You can certainly find a lightweight travel BCD for about the same price. Yet, you won’t find something else with these features - above all, the ability to walk on/off the dive boat with just a compact backpack. The Jetpack isn’t perfect – the construction could be a little more robust, and there are some design changes I’d love to see Oceanic make if they ever re-release it. It can’t and won’t replace my BP/W for most of my diving needs, and I never expected it to. It has a very specific purpose, perhaps even more specific than a typical “travel” BCD. However, the Jetpack allows me to pack up all my dive gear into a compact backpack for travel, which is a fantastic and mostly well-executed idea.

2023.06.06 19:20 Daisiavu Going in August
Hi guys! I know this is one of the most commonly asked questions but I feel like my situation is very mixed.
Me and my boyfriend have booked tickets for 5 days in the parks from August 15-20. We know it’s going to be super hot and rainy and are fine with that but have heard soooo many mixed reviews about how busy it’s going to be. Many say it’ll be low crowds because it’s the start of going back to school and the florisa weather can be miserable, but now it’s also the end of food and wine and the very beginning of mickeys not so scary Halloween party (which we got tickets for). We are definitely getting genie+ and utilizing those as much as possible and ILL if necessary. We are also staying in a Walt Disney owned hotel so get early access.
Is this just going to be a roll of the dice once we get there or are we chilling?

2023.06.06 19:13 packmanwiscy r/NFL Top 100 Players of the 2022 NFL Season - Honorable Mentions (125-101)
Welcome to the Honorable Mentions for the NFL Top 100 Players of the 2022 Season!
Today we are just barely dipping our toes into the ranks for the NFL Top 100 Players of the 2022 season. Players whose average rank landed them in places 125-101 are the Honorable Mentions.These players don’t receive writeups, but are released so you guys know who just missed the cut-off. After all the rankers did list out to 125, so it’s only natural to mention the players who ended up there
METHODOLOGY
Link to more detailed writeup on our methodology- Step 1: A Call to Rankers right after the Conference Championship games
- Step 2: Rankers from each team nominated players to rank, with a 11 game minimum threshold. Players are associated with the team they played for in 2022
- Step 3: The Grind. We instructed users to tier positions groups into T25, T50, etc based on 2022 regular season play only. This took several weeks as the rankers tiered each position group and discussed them. There were no individual player threads and no arbitrary position caps. Just questions and rankings.
- Step 4: Users submitted their own personal Top 125 lists.
- Step 5: User lists were reviewed by myself, u/mattkud , and u/MikeTysonChicken . The rankers were expected to answer questions about their lists. They were allowed to make any changes to their list, and were not forced to make any changes
- Step 6: The Reveal… where we are now!
