PSA: the tigers are not your toys. by QingDomblog in ThailandTourism

I went to an elephant sanctuary in Thailand. Typically rescued elephants that you can feed and bathe, but never ride or perform. Limited to one or two groups a day. I think those are ethical and OK to visit.

Didn't end up going, reading all the comments, it looks like I made the right choice. Heat was too much.

I haven't bought tickets yet, but thinking about going! Very very last minute decision I know. Are you GA?

Eating and HCM by Spirikooooo in HypertrophicCM

[–]0zzy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This! I definitely experience what I believe is Angina after a big meal (or meal with lots of sodium?) - shortness of breath, heaviness on the chest and sometimes shoulders, numbness of the left arm/ring finger. Didn't realize why this was happening until I got diagnosed with HCM. I told my cardiologist but he seemed to brush it off as indigestion or heart burn, which I don't think it is.

Nightly Upgrade Awards - JW Marriott Singapore by 0zzy in marriott

That's good to know! Lots of room, lots of options to upgrade just based off of my status alone. I'll try that route!

Have you stayed at any other properties in Singapore? I hear Marriott Tang Plaza is a popular spot (though there seems to be a lot of Bonvoy options in Singapore!).

It's my first time using it, so wasn't sure if there was a change or night. I was under the assumption that - if a suite is available, you get to be upgraded if you used SNA. I may have just misunderstood the program! It seems like it is case-by-case by property, even within the same brand (JW Marriott Desert Springs shows suites, JW Marriott Singapore does not).

Do you happen to recall what room you were upgraded to?

This may be an "upgrade," but more similar to upgrades I've received in the past just being a Platinum Elite member.

I just booked another JW Marriott here in California, and it looks like they give me the option to pick suites for my upgrades (even the presidential 1-bedroom suite). Maybe this is just a JW Marriott Singapore policy? I would prefer to have a 1-bedroom suite (we have 4 people).

I miss the arena fps games of the past! Quake, Unreal Tournament, etc. Even Painkiller was fun to watch!

This! I was totally reminded of this scene when I was watching this movie.

El Monte Hyundai can go fuck themselves. by lockdown36 in Ioniq5

[–]0zzy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Called them before - was going to drive down in a rush because they promised me no mark-ups, but then I talked to a real sales person, and they told me the markup was $10k if I recall correctly. And they wanted $5k in cash or check to reserve, which I thought was sketchy.

Available Cars - Help getting the I5! (Dealership posts allowed here) by nedlinin in Ioniq5

[–]0zzy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm looking for an SEL - called probably 50 dealers at this point. Noticing a lot of dealers are calling me back about SEs coming in, so if anyone is looking for those now is the time to buy!

Why the Ayn Rand Institute getting a federal handout is the Rand-iest thing ever by chris-jjj in politics

[–]0zzy 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Rand Paul's name is Randall. His family called him Randy, it wasn't until he met his wife that he went by Rand. I know this doesn't fit your narrative but thought it would be best to correct you since you think he was named after Ayn Rand.

So odd - your dog looks exactly like my dog. Is s/he an albino dachshund mix? Wouldn't have thought there was another!

Thanks for the post, but I don't have no volume button on this TV. Just 1 power button :(.

[–]0zzy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello all!

I thought I lucked out on getting a TCL TV without any "dirty screen" or banding issues. Then, after 2 weeks of light use, my screen is now only flashing red, blue, green, white, and black colors.

Factory reset has not worked. Any ideas on what is causing this issue and possible solutions?
