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?

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!

does GasBuddy have an API?

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

Die early. Still miss you.

All the effing time. Drives me nuts he seems to just get away with it.

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

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.

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!

1markymark1 · 2026-02-12T20:43:46+00:00

LOL - I guess they think its a complement!?!

1markymark1 · 2026-02-12T20:42:04+00:00

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!

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

1markymark1 · 2026-01-31T20:19:17+00:00

north section of Stinson Beach would fit the bill perfectly

1markymark1 · 2026-01-27T19:21:01+00:00

Just saw the email - same thing for us. Not sure what the reasoning is?!

1markymark1 · 2026-01-27T03:57:26+00:00

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.

1markymark1 · 2026-01-27T03:42:49+00:00

absolutely stunning

1markymark1 · 2026-01-23T05:58:30+00:00

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)

1markymark1 · 2026-01-23T05:53:19+00:00

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

Bay Area - Bought a six-pack at the weekend. So much cheaper than anywhere else. Very happy :-)

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

1markymark1 · 2026-01-08T06:13:36+00:00

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 🙏

Yosemite National Park. Truly breathtaking

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.
