        Looking forward to hearing how the WiFi features work out for you. My biggest hesitation would be the reliability of the built-in thermometers. I have a Pit Boss, which is why I use ThermoWorks.

        I turn my espresso machine on/off with my phone (via Kasa plug), so I guess a Wi-Fi enabled grill isn't that much different.

        We are good with DCS, based on lots of different grilles over the years. What I know: they will get insanely hot, but are very controllable and even, they have a rotisserie that works very well and you can even do picanha on it if you are lazy. However, budget is high.

        I fully admit I went and bought a share in GME a while back with the mindset of "Hey, I haven't been to a casino in the last 3 years". I feel bad for anyone who bought in on hype alone - methinks they didn't understand the history of the 'Bets' part of WallStreetBets enough.

        Just thinking about this situation, the employee at the hotel could have easily called her phone number and shown it wasn't ringing on the kids phone. She is now known as the Soho Karen and a racist over a damn phone. Hope it was worth ruining your life over.

        This shit happens all the time. I'm happy people are recording everything now. You can't accuse someone of stealing your shit just because you're racist and assume all black people are thieves. The fact that the manager was so quick to enable her only makes this shit worse and has deep implications for our society.

        All it would have taken is for someone to call the phone number of the purportedly stolen phone. If it rang, it was stolen. If not, the claim was bogus. Additionally Dad could have called son's phone to verify ownership. The whole altercation is a disgusting reflection on our current societal bullshit. Beating on a 14 yo by an adult is inexcusable.

        They have a wholesome, positive "love yourself" image which tends to appeal to many a flawed person (usually female) out there. I'm not an "ARMY" but I kinda get it. The fandom however has a subset which has gotten a bit out of hand wrt other fandoms.

        Damn, I hate tribalism.
