Things you have learned or purchased because of the Locker Room

[Rlarrick113]

First and foremost, this forum has been great for travel related recommendations. From places to go, to great hotels/restaurants. I have learned of a few good apps or websites as well. Like Hopper and of course the cheap eye glass website that I always forget the name of. But one of the best products I have purchased due to the Locker Room has to be magnetic collar tabs. Absolutely love these and use them almost daily.

What are some of the best things you have purchased or learned about from the Locker Room?

#1 - toilet paper in the bowl in public restrooms to prevent splashback.

The gas tank on a rental car (on any car) can be found by looking for the arrow on the dashboard. Never knew that.

On a serious note, around 10-12 years ago my dad was going through the many stages of Alzheimer's / dementia. I started several threads at the time looking for experiences and help from others who had gone through this as well.
@FSU_UCLA provided several links and suggestions that were very helpful. One in particular spoke about how a certain common anesthetic brought about dementia like symptoms in a small percentage of senior patients. That scenario fit my father perfectly. Because they think the reaction may be hereditary, I let any anesthesiologist know I don't want that used on me.
There are a bunch of really smart and helpful people here mixed in all of you degenerates!

How do you know if you don't know? Seems suspicious.

For me it has to be Sous Vide. Own a multi cooker instead of an ancient crock pot.

I did not know about this. thanks.

 

[Bartdog]

someone suggested the Robin Hobb books and I've since read almost all of them.

bought a ps3 because @Phinhead wouldn't shut up about how great a bluray player they were. He also convinced me to get a temperature gauge for my grill.....

no shortage of movie and restaurant recommendations.

it's been so long it's hard to remember more specific things.

 

[cmanole]

That you're not a real fan if you post on the TC and say anything negative about the coaching staff...

Not because of anything here, but I bought an XBox One S when it went on a great sale on Prime Day even though I already own a PS4, Nintendo Switch and a ton of old game systems specifically because it’s a great 4K BluRay player and I’d just bought a 55 in 4K Roku tv for the bedroom. Now I’ve got the PS4 and Switch on my living room tv and the XBone S on the bedroom tv. It came with a bunch of Microsoft exclusive games and I bought a couple of others including Cuphead which I thought would be a good game to play together with my wife but is so frustratingly difficult it just causes hostility.

Same. The wife and I were able to get two round trip tickets to Paris for 800 total.

Medium priced wine. Expensive wine is for suckers.

When you buy the cheap swill you’re getting wine made from what is basically unsorted grapes of varying qualities. And I’ve had some “ok” wines under $10 (Usually Portuguese or Spanish), but they’re just what I would call “drinkable” and are very thin in flavor just no major offnotes or harsh chemical flavor. I saw a metric (maybe on here) that said basically from $0-25 you’re paying for the quality of grape and after about $25 you’re only paying for marketing as no grapes really cost more than that (although I’d somewhat disagree, at Opus One they take it to ridiculous levels where individual grapes are scanned electronically to see their sugar levels so not only observed visually but internally and that probably costs more than $25 a bottle to achieve). And I basically agree.

Here’s a case in point, I just did a trip about two weeks ago where I toured several wineries in the Sonoita and Verde Valley AVAs in Arizona (a VERY undervalued wine state, definitely on par with California and Washington in a three way tie for me and just ahead of Oregon, New Mexico and New York). The very worst wine I got (which admittedly was not ALL wineries but we did go to 6 in Sonoita and 6 in Verde Valley) came from the two most expensive a winery in Tombstone which sold their wines for an average of $50-60 which got away with charging that because it was the only winery in Tombstone, a tourist trap, and Caduceus which was priced not too much cheaper and able to charge that much because of its connection to the lead singer of Tool, Puscifer and A Perfect Circle. The best wineries were far cheaper and more in the $25-40 range including Callaghan and Dos Cabezos. I did like a higher priced winery called Sand Reckoner in Tucson but again their wine was higher priced because it was basically the only one of its kind in a fairly large city. If it was down in Sonoita the wines would have been $10-20 cheaper.
