Cool feature. I may have to invest in one after we get our deck rebuilt in the Spring.
Thanks for the info.

There's supposedly another truck in Nashville with that same audio message/warning going off currently. The truck is surrounded and the robot has been employed to investigate.

I have to say it is the best fire pit ever. No smoke, no clean up, gets extremely hot and is amazing to sit around and drink with.

I got mine during the Black Friday sale but well worth the price and I did a bit of Insta influencing myself as 3 other neighbors bought one as well :lol:

Highly recommend!

They had these at Costco for $220 this past year. Almost got one. I think we will of it comes back
Keep an eye on their site as they normally have them discounted and it includes accessories.

Got mine 50% off on Black Friday and it included the stand and screen.

Weasel, it’s the way it’s engineered with these rings around the top and bottom and it just creates this vortex of smokeless burn. It’s crazy to watch it burn but mesmerizing.
Just got 40% off Ranger and Stand bundle with a 10% off code. Wife doesn't know yet, but she will be happy with it.

Nice! Interested to see the ranger size. Ours is the bonfire and it’s plenty big for 8-10 around a fire.

Lost track, playing with my kids. I did read that it may have been someone just being stupid.

I've developed this weird habit recently of forgetting my wallet when I go somewhere. I swear I do it probably 50% of the time lately. Not sure where I've gone wrong in my routine.

I work from home, so I'm certainly not leaving the house nearly a much as in the past, so it's usually for beer runs. Gotta go back home, get wallet, go back to store.

Fun times.

I just broke down and finally ordered a phone case that holds cards. Not a fan of those but seems necessary at this point.

Get one of these:

https://www.thetileapp.com/en-us/

You can program it to alert you when you leave a certain distance from it.
Also helpful in case you ever truly lose it or forget where it’s actually at.

Or just use Samsung/Apple pay when you can as a fall back as well.

Early pandemic I played some poker w buddies, used venmo to transfer funds. Won a few hundred bucks and got the itch, so put $100 into Bovada. Won a 3500 person tournament, couple grand. Cashed out most, but they payout in BTC. Said fuck it, it's literally gambling money, so I kept it there. Now sitting at 4X my original cash out. Dumb luck

Can I borrow $20?

That's impressive, all of it. Winning a 3500 person tourney. Turning $100 into $14k. Not too shabby.

It was kind of a weird announcement as I understand it.

It made it sound like the team would pay him in BTC but he's really getting paid by the team like any other player. But another outside firm is then taking his salary and converting to BTC. Could be wrong but that's what I took from it.
