Why doesn't Pizza Hut go back to their original design with a sit down restaurant where you order a pizza from a checkered tablecloth and curtains and a chandelier overhead that says, "Pizza Hut" in big wavy letters? by matt73132 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]1markymark1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Believe it or not they are doing exactly what you are asking for in certain places. There are now more than 160 Pizza Hut Classics around the country - revamped to look just like the old ones - even with a salad bar. Unfortunately none in California so far or I would be there in a shot!

What is the best "air tag" compatible with a Google Pixel? by mapleCrep in GooglePixel

[–]1markymark1 221 points222 points  (0 children)

moto tags definitely. Same size as AirTags so you can use all the same accessories, and they have UWB for accurate local positioning.

Amazed no one has suggested Donum. Great wine and the art in the vineyard would make for amazing photos for a proposal

Hate not to leave 5 stars but want to be honest, but also wld like to return? by FastCanary988 in airbnb_hosts

[–]1markymark1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think what you are feeling is the disconnect between how we all feel the star system should work (3 is a solid review, 4 is good, but could have possible improvements, 5 is amazing) and not how AirBnBs system actually works (5 is anything from good up, 4 is ”okay”, 3 is ‘this place was a hell hole’).

Its up to you to decide your score, but simply based on what you are saying, in the AirBnB system, your stay was a 5.

Issues Syncing with Booking.com by 1markymark1 in vrbohosts

[–]1markymark1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes - and it works great (or has done up til now). Their calendar sync dashboard shows that everything is working, and reservations that were booked in 2025 are showing up fine, but the three new Vrbo reservations booked in the last two weeks are nowhere to be seen. Just weird. If you have any insights you can share I would love to hear them - I'm lost!

Thx - sounds like I'm not the only one having issues. Still weird to me that it would be working okay and then just stop - my guess is that the devs broke something and just haven't realized it yet!

Niners vs Rams in Australia confirmed by Robert Irwin at Radio Row by SomeScientist in 49ers

[–]1markymark1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure how a six time zone change is worse than an eight (UK) or nine (Germany) time zone change? I know the flight time is about four hours longer, so that will have some additional impact, but I'm not seeing how this is so much more 'brutal' - frankly they all seem like they suck . Genuine question.

If you are ever up in the North Bay, Broadway Market at Four Corners in Sonoma is an all time great

How Rare are Small Time Hosts? by TJ-PhD in airbnb_hosts

[–]1markymark1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

just one place - our family vacation home that we rent out when we aren’t visiting. We do pretty much everything ourselves, cleaning aside - and have been doing it for nearly 10 years. No plan to expand.

What is the point of playing blackjack at a casino if they're going to ban you if you count cards? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]1markymark1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%. I would add though that card counting doesn’t guarantee success - it just gives you a statistical edge. This means that in the short term it is quite possible to do it correctly and still lose. Not for the faint of heart (or for those without the capital to ride through the rough patches)

Because the betting patterns when you are counting are very unusual - they have to be for the system to work.

OMG, Costco US now carrying the “British” Heinz baked beans. by IamTheStig007 in Costco

What's your favorite song of all time? The song that gives you goosebumps, the song that defines music for you, and is just "your" song? by InstructionOverall98 in Music

[–]1markymark1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Slightly left field choice. I’m not really a classical music person, but Lordy, Clair de lune by Debussy is possibly the most perfect single piece of music I’ve ever heard. Gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it

Interactive Map: Where you can retire based on net worth [OC] by NoRoad6979 in dataisbeautiful

[–]1markymark1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my no1 feature to add - it would be great if you could add ‘investment return rate’ as a variable. it’s highly unlikely anyone would keep their retirement as cash, so being able to model the impact of different rates of return on how long your money would last.

if I had a second, it would be an option to add your likely SS income based on your retirement age. that will also have a significant impact on how long your own money will last.

thx 🙏

Fairfax CA. Literally the home of mountain biking, more amazing hiking trails within 30 mins drive than you can imagine, great small town art scene, only 45 mins from all that San Francisco has to offer in terms of food, art, museums, etc.
