Recommendations for young child Nintento Switch (Lite) games

Seconded on Mariokart and Yoshi's Crafted World. My kids (7 and 5) like both of those. They like to just grab my games and play around with them and sometimes end up running with a game. They both picked up Mario Odyssey on their own with little help and have both nearly beaten the game...

SNES Classic coming out September 29th for $79.99

Got in line at my local Walmart at 10:30 last night (7th in line). They had 20 available and they were gone in 15 minutes. Nearly half of them went to Walmart employees. Sounded like all of the area Walmarts received between 18-30 each.

Still can't get a Switch

I managed to get one from Amazon this morning before they sold out. Now if my broken wrist would only heal so I can actually play it.

Buying big house vs a small house

Lived in a ~1500 sq ft home (3 BR/2 BA) with wife and daughter until we had our second child. Decided to move to something bigger because rooms were starting to get overrun with toys and baby items. We moved last year to a ~2700 sq ft home (5 BR/3 BA). It's a little more space than we need...

Best Caribbean island/country for wedding?

I got married on the beach in Aruba. My only suggestion would be to make things official in the US beforehand and have a separate ceremony in Aruba. That way your marriage certificate won't have to be translated from Dutch to be recognized in the US. We opted for this route because we had read...

2016 Toyota Sienna vs. 2017 Chrysler Pacifica

The 2nd row seats in the Sienna do come out on the Limited trim. I've read they are a pain to remove (haven't tried myself yet) and some of the seat hardware remains in the floor when they are removed. I don't know if that's just the tracks they slide in or something else. City driving in the...

2016 Toyota Sienna vs. 2017 Chrysler Pacifica

The wife and I have decided to trade-in our 2012 Highlander and go the minivan route. With two small kids it's next to impossible to use the 3rd row seat in the Highlander without taking out the seats or climbing through the back. It's also become increasingly annoying being stuck in tight...

What brand of appliances do you guys recommend?

I bought an LG french-door with bottom freezer when I moved a year ago. The only issue I've had with it so far is the compressor for the freezer icing over once but that was a quick (and apparently common for that model) warranty fix. The in-door ice maker isn't all that great. We have a lot of...

Do you take pride in your car?

I try to keep the exterior washed/waxed regularly but it drives me insane if the interior isn't clean. Of course this is a problem for me with two kids under 4 and a wife that doesn't share my desire to keep the interior of our cars clean. I regularly have to remove food, trash, papers, etc...

At what point do I let my boss know I'm looking for a new gig as an internal hire?

At my company if you apply for an internal position your current manager is notified as soon as you apply. They used to have the ability to deny your application at that point for any reason (or no reason) but at least HR put a stop to that.

Have you ever eaten at a restaurant

I worked in a restaurant in high school where this was a common occurrence (never by me). I assume this happens at most places, especially chain restaurants. It probably also depends on age of the wait/kitchen staff. If it's primarily high school or college age kids I think it's much more...
