Cranberry is certainly not Pittsburgh area. Not even close. Like who would willingly drive out of their way to Cranberry to go to a grocery store?

Spent the entire day at the pool and beach yesterday. It was super humid and hot…eve with spf 50 I still got burned up as did my wife and she never ever burns.

Sun here is no joke. Bought a upf rated swim shirt to wear in the pool today to not get scorched again.

I always find these discussions fascinating. All I ever hear is how much money they make on MUT, yet I have never heard from or met a single person that loves MUT. I know people who 'play it', but the structure seems to be universally hated.....so how do they make so much money on it? Point being i...

They have been saying they would fix Madden's franchise mode to not be trash for a decade + and they've never ever done it. They've tried to add stupid stuff, or stuff that was already there that they took away, but it's still the same crappy mode. Much like the Pirates...EA doesn't deserve the bene...

I feel you are a fool if you think UT will be minimized. They have a track record and its plain to see across very single game they release. HUT/MUT whatever is always front and center in every game EA puts out. I am still super pumped for the game. I will have it day 1. I will play the heck out of ...

Looks amazing, but all of the pre-order and deluxe edition bonuses being related to Ultimate Team gives me concern that EA's Department of Money Printing doesn't understand what made the original series special and gives people so much nostalgia. Give me facilities improvements. Give me recruiting ...

I had no clue you could even not have an unlimited data plan as far as cell phones goes these days. This is me assuming everyone streams via apple care play or android auto in their car for spotify or whatever app you use.

Maybe it's my old ears, but the sound quality from a SiriusXM car unit is poor. Like at best CD quality, which sounds tinny and processed compared to Apple Music. Someone on LGP gave out their login/password info years ago, and I still use the app from time to time. App quality is a little better, ...

I still have Sirius XM....its so dirt cheap that its fine to have when I don't want to listen to Spotify or Podcasts. Ronnies post reminded me to chat them up and threaten to cancel so I could get even cheaper rates. I pay like 11$ a month and that covers both of our cars and streaming on line and h...

Book Alcatraz way in advance. It's real tough to find a way on the island once you're in town.
I plan on booking that right after I buy the 49er tickets. I checked and there are spots left in September but im sure they go quickly.

Fast food always had to pay over minimum wage to get people to work there. My memory of high schooling job life, the video rental stores and the movie theaters would pay the ~$5 minimum wage amount because they gave the kids perks and people wanted to work there. But you would get paid more frying ...

My wife wants to see the Golden Gate Bridge and other touristy things (besides going to the game). I think we are going from a Sat-Thursday (haven't booked it yet)...so we should have Sunday/Tues/Wed and part of Monday to do thing with Monday afternoon being the game.

Japantown, as in the city proper of SF?
I believe so? I'm a total noob, I just saw that name come up and Hotel Kabuki when I was searching stuff. I know nothing about any of the areas around there....I'm just trying to find stuff for us to do other than go to the game on Monday night.

Places to stay/avoid in San Fran/San Jose if I'm going to the 49er game? I know the stadium is in Santa Clara, but I'm trying to figure out best place to stay that will give us other places to go to the other days we are there. Japantown seems to be coming up alot as a good place to stay.
