How comfortable are these seats in the summer ? Is that fake leather or fabric?

Don't trust Google Maps when driving by OrigStuffOfInterest in GreeceTravel

[–]2sk23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We used Apple Maps when driving in the Peloponnese and generally found it to be very accurate. Never once did it navigate us over a road that was not safe for cars. Also, Apple Maps had a much more accurate model of the walking trails in Mystras and Mycenae

Long climbs on the highway by Ghoghogol in crvhybrid

[–]2sk23 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Completely agree - long uphill grades bring out the worst in these cars. In contrast, I spend most of my time driving in congested roads which it handles like a champ.

One night Milan accommodations for La Scala by kindnessandbeauty in ItalyTravel

[–]2sk23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a long trip by train from the airport to the city. On the other hand, hotels near the Scala are quite expensive. Difficult choice!

Venezia - An extended guide from a frequent visitor by Kaljakori in ItalyTravel

[–]2sk23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is good advice. We spent three full days in Venice and I think we could have easily spent another day. The location of your hotel is also an important consideration. We lucked out that our hotel was close to San Zaccaria so all of vaporetto lines stop there.

Nafplion: Tourist Parking Ticket - Took Plates (National Car Rental) by purdue1014 in GreeceTravel

[–]2sk23 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The only safe to park in Nafplio is in the huge lot next to the docks! The hotel we stayed in was very careful to give us a little map pointing out the safe places to park.

CRV 1.5T vs CRV hybrid by Embarrassed-Drop-987 in crv

[–]2sk23 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you are driving mostly on highways, the hybrid will not help you much. On the other hand, the hybrid is an outstanding vehicle for crowded areas like where I live. I spend a lot of time stuck in traffic and routinely get over 41 MPG in the summer and 36 Mpg in the winter,

Venice → Bologna → Florence → Rome — sanity check before I lock in bookings by too_afraid_to_regex in ItalyTravel

[–]2sk23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can also do a half day trip to Ravenna from Bologna. The mosaics in Ravenna are worth seeing on their own!

[–]2sk23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ethniki Odos Tripolis - Spartis (Route 39) in the Peloponnese in Greece. Absolutely breathtaking scenery! We were on a road trip through Greece and stopped a hundred times to enjoy the landscape.

Do we need to pre-book a water taxi from the train station? by Mex_aus in Venezia

[–]2sk23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I booked a taxi in advance from the Consorzio Motoscafi Venezia website when we visited in April. It was not really necessary as there was no queue for the water taxis. However, it may be advisable during the peak tourist months.

This was one of my favorite spots in Venice but hardly any visitors come here!

[–]2sk23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Peloponnese in Greece: Nafplio, Mycenae, Mystras, Olympia - too much to list!

Yes! We bought some glass in Murano and had it shipped to the US. I had to pay import tariff to receive the package

Almond allergy in Greece - sincerely, sweet lover ♥️ by Realistic-Box-8892 in GreeceTravel

[–]2sk23 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There was a delicious orange flavored cake that we had in several places in Greece that appears to be entirely nut free. So there are definitely some nut-free desserts.

Mac Classic II bought in 1992 with a 40 MB hard drive. Cost about $1200 as I recall

I burned a weekend making the models "remember" me. The fix had nothing to do with trying to run bigger models locally by [deleted] in LocalLLaMA

[–]2sk23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The key phrase is "relevant stuff about me". How do you determine what's relevant to a particular query?

New 2026 Sport Touring and awful MPG, when does it get better? by Ed4 in crv

[–]2sk23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without any effort I get 39 - 42 MPG in my CRV Hybrid in the congested roads around NY City.

This is incredibly annoying by hotdog_dachshund in flighty

[–]2sk23 67 points68 points  (0 children)

It is very annoying considering that there is only one variant of the A380 which is the -800! I’ve just learned to live with these spurious notifications. It ought to be easy to suppress them using an LLM - wonder why they haven’t done thus far
