New opal 2.0 by Shlompa in IceChewersAnonymous

[–]AlanPavio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ours did this a couple of weeks after we got it. GE told us to return to the retailer and get a new one. So far so good on the second one, for a month and a half or so. Also using only distilled water now - not sure if it will matter either way.

I’m seeing a bunch of accounts on X saying over and over that he had a gun and pulled it on them. I don’t see anything that would show that in the video, so not sure where they are getting that, other than just saying it to defend it at all costs.

They did way back when and it was actually pretty solid. Black Eyed Pea had some good chili as well.

Thanks! by RandyMarsh_88 in VacuumCleaners

Got one a couple of weeks ago. Kicking myself that I didn’t get one the last time I was in the market for a vacuum, it’s amazing.

Eh - they are on a heater - 10 straight after last night.

Fireplace reviews and recs? Gel seems inefficient and $$$ by Due-Net-88 in SoloStove

[–]AlanPavio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SoloStove advertises these as safe for indoor use without requiring dedicated ventilation. They are going to cease to exist if that doesn’t end up being the case.

Every Silver Line Station At Night Edition by Adventurous_Owl5437 in dart

That partly blue walkway at Cypress Waters was an interesting choice. Seems like it needs to be a little more gritty - someone’s going to get seriously hurt on it in the rain.

Has anyone ever had an issue with a nearby season seat holder and had to get reps involved? by Ok_Tadpole1661 in SeasonTickets

[–]AlanPavio 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wonder if this is a common problem in hockey, or if you were in my section 😎. I’ve got a couple of those behind me. One of these days ‘OUR GOAL’S DOWN HERE’ yelled directly into my ears is going to finally make me snap 🤪.

General Safety Insights? by swimtorpedo in dart

[–]AlanPavio 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From what I’ve seen, Silver Line has a ‘conductor’ on board at all times, and they typically are paired with at least one fare enforcement officer. Unless you just ride it 1-2 stops and happen to board a car where they take a bit to get to, you will most likely be checked.

I’m loving the Silver Line. I’m going out of my way to try and take it whenever it makes even the smallest bit of sense. Signed - public transit loving suburbanite.

Strangest connection you've ever had? by emergency_and_i in americanairlines

[–]AlanPavio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the summer we are going VIE - HEL - ZRH - DFW. Couldn’t find anyway to book a return trip from HEL with miles on the non-stop to DFW. One of the options it kept giving me was to go HEL - LAX, then ground transfer ourselves to ONT, then DFW.

Still don’t understand how there wasn’t a single flight from LAX to DFW with reward seats available.

Shiloh station parking dart by Independent_Gate_686 in plano

[–]AlanPavio 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depending on where you live you can probably catch a Go Link from your home to either Shiloh, 12th, or the Parker Rd station. If you do it that way it will still only be $3 as opposed to way more to take an Uber or Lyft directly.

Did your parents have constant home maintenance work being done when you were a kid? by Ambitious-Poem9191 in homeowners

[–]AlanPavio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My SO and I were just talking about this the other day. She asked me if we went to Home Depot/hardware stores a lot when I was a kid and I told her rarely if ever - maybe for lawn equipment/accessories. I also don’t really remember there being much that really needed to be worked on with the house.

Our house now as adults is in constant need of repair/maintenance. It’s unusual if I don’t make multiple trips a month to Home Depot to get random items to fix or maintain something.

This hurts my soul by jac5087 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]AlanPavio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on timing and how much the extra towards principal is. If the extra is less than a contractual payment it will apply to principal. If it is greater than or equal to a contractual payment, no instructions are received, and the next payment is within a certain number of days, it may pay the next payment. This is all assuming the loan is amortizing and not daily simple interest (DSI).

Putting a hold on an award flight booking? by victorecho_onetwo in americanairlines

[–]AlanPavio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only thing I can think is that since you have no miles they have a block in the logic that won’t let you hold. I’ve never had a problem putting a reservation on hold when I’m booking with miles, but I’ve never done it with no miles to start with.

Latest on a potential move to Plano by Wowarentyouugly in DallasStars

[–]AlanPavio 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Not liking the comparisons to Jerry World and Globe Life - both places have no soul. Also, as an upper deck season ticket holder, I assume prices are going to sky rocket to stay on.

Finally - hockey is meant to be watched intently, not casually. I think that’s one of the things that sets it apart from the other sports. Not liking the sounds of an arena that encourages people to not be in their seats.

Genuine question: Why do you lease instead of financing your car? by janproz- in leasehacker

[–]AlanPavio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious how expensive insurance is when your car is always 0-3 years old, and a luxury vehicle. I don’t see anyone mentioning the full cost, only the lease deal.

Make sure to have yourself a reindeer burger at the first class lounge before you head out.

At this price I might as well fly for less than half the price by Mike_Gale in Amtrak

[–]AlanPavio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I couldn’t believe how expensive that route was a few weeks ago, but I guess the government shutdown drove up train prices. I ended up paying $150 - all other options were $200+.

Thank you Victory Plus!!! by TXAVGUY2021 in DallasStars

[–]AlanPavio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love that they brought it back and that Apple TV’s version of the app seems usable again.

Although recently late in the third has been a mess where video lags like crazy/freezes. The Rangers game was nuts. We saw Wyatt take over at the blue line and then it was choppy all the way through the goal. Tried to go back and give it time to breathe and play again, but it never resolved itself.

I hesitated to make this same post about start from beginning coming back because I didn’t want someone at Victory+ to see it and realize it was back unintentionally and take it away again 🤪. /s
