Lin's guys come in and wipe out the entire facility. It appears there's at least 2 dozen prostitutes and johns who were killed. An episode later, they're joking about putting some paint on the walls and things go back to normal.

Wouldn't this have triggered some national heat from the FBI/ATF, especially given the MC's history? Since Nero knew most of these girls personally, wouldn't that have triggered him a little more emotionally? Not to mention, the club owes him like 500k and he's financially ruined.

I know there was a lot going on in the last season, but this stuck out to me as pretty ridiculous.

I eventually want to put this in an outdoor kitchen build, but that is years down the line. Is it possible to unbolt it from the cart? I saw they sell a built-in version without the cart, but I will need the cart for a few years.

Over the last couple of weeks, I have issues with reddit using Safari on MacOS. When I visit a subreddit, it often freezes and takes 10+ seconds to load and won't let me click on anything. Eventually, it loads and I can click on a thread, and then when I go back, same issue. No issues in Chrome and no issues with a Private Browsing Window, so I believe it has something to do with my logged in state. I have tried cleared site data, cache, etc. Has something broken in the last couple of weeks?

I set the reasoning to low, as I don't think you can turn it off, and man, it flies. I have tried Grok and the various ChatGPT 5.6 models and this one is the fastest I have ever seen in Hermes. It's almost as quick as using it in a minimal harness like Pi. I am using my free google credits in AI Studio to run it.

The Whites lived in a nice neighborhood in a decent house. Walt made $43,700 from teaching and less than 10k from the car wash, Skylar didn't work, and they have a kid with special needs. They have two cars. Obviously, they weren't living like royalty and didn't have much in savings, but that is essentially impossible in 2026.

He talks about getting your grip elbow deep and popping out the heel slightly, so it creates more of an aoki lock style break. I know it would be hard for a ref to see, but is this legal at all levels?

This was our 7th cruise, 2nd on Disney. We have been on Carnival, Princess, Royal, and Disney. This was our 3rd post-Covid cruise. We took our 12 year old niece and wanted to do something nice. My wife wanted to try concierge and we booked a Concierge Family Oceanview Stateroom.

Concierge

Boarding the ship was an OK experience. We got there around 10:50 and the Concierge lounge in the terminal was packed. Standing room only. There were soda and water available. We hung out for a few minutes and were on our way to boarding the ship. On other cruise lines, you get a set time and we haven't really had to wait in a long line, so this wasn't a great perk in my mind.

The Concierge Lounge was nice. Drinks from 5-10PM and some decent food options on the menu. The grab and go options were good, too. The standout feature of the lounge is the crew working there. Everyone was friendly, and great. Any questions or issues got resolved on the spot. For example, my wife was shopping and for some reason her account was locked out. She sent me a text (I was in the room) and I called the lounge and they fixed it in 5 seconds.

Skipping the lines for the show was nice, but not needed, IMO. You still have to get there 30 minutes before the show starts. At that point, I went to restroom and there was a line about 50 deep in the main area. I think if you got there a bit earlier, you would still have access to great seats without waiting in the concierge line.

Disembarking the ship on the last day was great. They send you on a private elevator and they meet you on the third floor and escort you out.

Was it worth the price difference? For me, definitely not. I would rather go on two cruises and wait in lines a little more. If they added an option to skip character meet lines, then it would shift the calculus a lot more. As is, I just don't think you get much value for the price you pay.

Stateroom

The room was great. The attendant was amazing and kept the place spotless. We didn't see a single hair or spec of dust. We had some unique towel animals, as well. My only complaint is that there is a separate sleeping area with a Murphy bed and couch bed that doesn't have a TV, but that is minor. We were able to connect our niece's iPad to the DCL wifi and stream on demand from there, so no big deal.

Dining

I was really disappointed by the dining options. When we boarded, we ate at 1923. The food was decent, but there was one server there who was terrible. He had an attitude. We ran into him during breakfast at 1923 and had the same issue. Everyone else had a great attitude and what you would expect on a cruise. We have noticed a really bad drop off in customer service across the board post-covid. Our first two cruises were on Carnival when were in our 20s and we were actually blown away by the service on Carnival, of all places. Since Covid, the service has been bad on both Royal and Princess.

Our MDR server was nice enough, but not very attentive. The assistant was terrible. We literally ordered 2 cokes and a lemonade and didn't get them until the main course came out and didn't get a refill on the first night. Similar issues throughout. I got the sense that they were overwhelmed and likely stretched too thin. I feel terrible for them, because they likely get bad reviews on the service, when the system just sets them up to fail.

Lion King was great. 1923 was fine. Marvel was terrible. Seriously, you can't slap a costume on someone and have them walk around? The food overall was really bland. Some warm items came out cold. I ordered a steak one night and it had no seasoning whatsoever. Of course, there was no salt and pepper on the table, and it took forever for our servers to come around and ask if we needed anything. Our niece got some French fries and they have to come around and spoon the ketchup on for you. For a kid's burger and fries, they should just provide a condiment cup with ketchup on it. Waiting 10 minutes for them to come around and spoon ketchup on a kid's meal is ridiculous.

I wish they kept the poolside options open later. I would have rather just skipped 1923 and Marvel and eaten the BBQ or Tacos. Speaking of which, I expected the brisket to be bad, but was actually good. Not any smoke flavor, but cooked well. Juicy and tender. For a cruise ship, I would rate it a 9/10. I could eat every lunch and dinner at Donald's and probably will if we go back on DCL again.

Ship Layout/Design

The ship was beautiful. Classic design with lots of nice themed art. Even the carpets look amazing. The elevators were all fast and in good working order. The layout of the ship was great, with no obvious choke points, like on some ships. The ship was spotless. They do a great job of keeping everything clean. The bars and seating areas are great. The bartender in Haunted Mansion was amazing.

Shows

We did all of the shows and they were good/great. No complaints at all. We did have technical difficulties during Hercules, but they got it back up and running within about 15 minutes. Pirate night was awesome, better than I remembered from our last Disney Cruise in 2018.

Private Islands and Pools

Lookout Cay had the better beach, but it is a LONG walk to get there. They need to come up with a better system. It seems like the infrastructure isn't quite ready for prime time. Castaway Cay is obviously better built out and provided a lot better experience. The food at both was mediocre, at best, and closed too early, IMO.

The layout of the pools on the ship was pretty unique. Instead of one big main pool, they had separate smaller pools. The lifeguards were great at keeping the kids in line.

App

Not a fan of the Disney Navigator app. It was hard to plan things out and find simple information. The layout is just bad. They should invest more in this if they are going to take away the printed itineraries they used to provide in the rooms daily.

TLDR

Skip concierge and spend the money on a second cruise. I think 4 days is really ideal for this ship. I couldn't imagine doing 7 nights on it, with being limited to the MDR for dinners and the limited amount of activities on board. I would rate our experience an 8/10 overall. We had a nice time and generally, the customer service was great throughout the ship, but the dining rooms have a lot of issues they need to work out.

So I just watched this for the first time and had a really hard time wrapping my head around who the rat is. Steve Buchemi seems pretty sketchy. He's a classic sociopath, so I wouldn't put it past him.

The fat guy who calls his father "daddy" also seems like a sleezeball. Speaking of Daddy, maybe he is the rat and is setting up all of these criminals like Jack in The Departed. I am pretty sure Michael Madsen didn't do it. He's like the one I am sure didn't do it.

Since it is left up to the audience to figure it out, what say you?
