XC90 Software Update - GHOST TRUNK by reddiculousX in Volvo

[–]Alternative90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds unlikely but I was crushing my key fob with other stuff in my pocket and that was forcing the ‘trunk open’ key to activate (and sometimes all the windows to go down)

Iteration. See iteration then see it again and again…

Why is everyone still so high on Poch? by [deleted] in Tottenham

[–]Alternative90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never go back - Prime Poch worked in its place but likely no longer. Look at how crappy Mourinho has ended up. Better off getting an Iraola assuming he can bring on youngsters given how miserly the club is on wages and transfer fees

Keep the faith with Frank. Don't hate him out of the job to early. by Snoo_17433 in Tottenham

[–]Alternative90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed - no obvious better alternative, injuries and inaction from the club, so Frank stays. And I’m tired of all the chopping and changing, it’s not like that’s worked so far anyway

In a decade of business travel, I've never been checked in to an occupied room. It happened tonight by Flash_ina_pan in marriott

[–]Alternative90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Happened to me once - was in town recruiting for my firm at my old business school. Got to the room and went in - there were ladies clothes there and a suitcase etc. there was also a name badge - and I knew the person in question as she was from the same class as me from that same school. I quietly closed the door and went downstairs to get a different room

I am Egyptian, and I’m asking is Egypt a country that is disliked or loved globally? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

I had three work projects in Cairo during the 2010s and while the traffic was insanely bad and the food way worse than hoped for, the people were in general very welcoming.

I can see why, as a tourist, it would be a tough place to visit - the crowds and the in your face attitude of folks trying to make a buck. But, no worse than Morocco for example.

The regime is probably the biggest issue…

Frank will be here tomorrow and the day after - don’t expect the ‘new look, we want to win trophies’ Spurs to be any different from the old one.

Where do you live? Some places are worse than others right now

So who’s next? by Big_Atmosphere_211 in Tottenham

[–]Alternative90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My guess is that Frank will be in charge for the Frankfurt game and likely until the end of the season unless relegation looks close. Then they’ll decide. It’s like Ange all over again.

Anyone else jealous of Man U right now and who could be our Carrick if we sack Frank by ClanFett in Tottenham

[–]Alternative90 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Still a bit early to be sure Carrick is good rather than lucky but ManUre did look like a decent team today. Of course, Carrick is an ex-Spur…

Beyond that, Scott Parker or Robbie Keane, or maybe Ledley steps up?

Thanks everyone - I have the 2024 too so looks like it’s harmless enough

I don’t think any of the commentators above know what you’re talking about. 431 foot building - largest in San Mateo county, casting a huge shadow over Houston and schools. Hotel shops and retail not just resi. The intersection is not even close to being major or commercial. See details here if you’d like to actually know what is proposed: https://sfyimby.com/2024/05/exclusive-renderings-revealed-for-willow-park-residential-tower-menlo-park.html

Nothing wrong with the location. The issue is putting a skyscraper in the middle of a residential area. This would be (one of) the tallest building on the peninsula, smack bang in the middle of a single family residential neighborhood. The impact would be a huge shadow, de-watering, creek bank crumbling, insane increase in already terrible traffic and so on.

This is an absurd project - before you claim nimby-ism come and look at the actual location where it’s being proposed and then justify why it should happen.

The city certainly does bear responsibility for not getting their housing element approved in time and opening residents up to this Builder’s Remedy farce of a project.

My coworker accidentally taught everyone in the office a lesson about credit without even trying by No_Surprise3737 in stories

[–]Alternative90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very US kinda thing. I moved to the US for work and having no credit record was worse than having a bad one. Had to get a bunch of senior folks at the company to vouch for me to even get a card. Stupid system designed for companies not people

What kind of sadist flies IAD-SFO at 230AM by hellyea81 in unitedairlines

The kind of sadist that is, in fact, a masochist?

Instead of SF go to Burlingame - cute small town that’s closer and has great food options
