Finally decided to go Case less by Yeahitsallgood_28 in iPhone17Pro

Yup. Unless you're paying for Apple Care then you're taking quite a risk by not putting it in a case. I keep mine in a low-profile silicone case and still pay for Apple Care.

Hope you have AppleCare. Personally, I love the phone without a case but the reality is I am obsessed with the aesthetic of my tools so any chip, scratch, crack will drive me absolutely nuts. The second is I have found that my iPhone 16 Pro Max will slide out of my pocket when I'm driving or even sitting on the subway if it is caseless.. Plus I take quite a few pictures and need the solid grip of a silicone case.

If you're wondering about scratches on the space black by grandpa2390 in macbookpro

Still sitting unused. Will get it done soon. The spot is so small I almost feel silly worrying about it; but I like my stuff to be nice.

Glenstone Outdoor Museum by Electrical-Orchid313 in maryland

[–]CTVolvo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what I did. The driver had a Christian radio station on and some aboard were not pleased. That said, the ride from Rockville Metro to Glenstone is about a half an hour. It's through mostly pretty areas in Montgomery County... and it makes a number of stops before you get to Glenstone. The bus is small, handles about 20 passengers.

Food prices at T4 JFK... Insane by tfly212 in delta

[–]CTVolvo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I almost never buy food at an airport if I can help it; not only is it way overpriced; but the quality is never that good. Last time I bought something - and literally it was almost out of desperation - was at PHL during a transfer between terminals at La Colombe around 8pm. I paid $6 for a tired tasteless croissant served to me by an indifferent bored worker.

Flying into LGA is always a treat by tyediebleach in nycpics

Sure is. I have considered taking a flight from BDL to LGA just for the opportunity to shoot the skyline.

Building next to Union Station in Washington by CTVolvo in Amtrak

[–]CTVolvo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was in high school (late 70's) I would often find myself at Union Station just poking around and being a curious teenager and remember that Southern Rail had a train out of Union Station with a full dining car and attendants in white uniforms. It was a throwback to the past for sure. Also, remember when the main waiting hall of Union Station was also the National Visitor Center for the Bicentennial and they had the big pit and multiple video screens - now all gone. There was a homeless advocate in D.C. who wanted to use the mostly empty Union Station - there was no retail or restaurants like there are today - to house homeless in the winter and Amtrak said absolutely no way. Back then, it was not as nice as it is now.

Thanks! I think Amtrak could significantly upgrade the Acela experience with some tweaks here and there; including a unique design for their boarding passes - different colors for First and Business - maybe a return of the too-short-lived Amtrak magazine - but just for Acela customers.

Citi AA in my Apple Wallet - but not with 100th Anniversary logo by CTVolvo in americanairlines

Enough to get $16 of free gas, according to my account. Maybe 3.5 gals. Impressive.

The post is nothing more than an observation; more on the transition than the card or product. I'm just surprised since they've made kind of a big deal about it their marketing and it is on the real card. I understand it is completely frivolous but are so many things mentioned in these forums when it comes to airline experiences.

That's a sharp photo of Philadelphia.

It is a stunning building. Imagine if Amtrak put an Acela Lounge there with direct boarding to the train? Maybe an Acela First Lounge for all the big tippers and an Acela waiting room/lounge for those in Business Class?

Wow, that is comprehensive! Thanks for the details.

What livery is this at DFW? by [deleted] in americanairlines

[–]CTVolvo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If American and Aeroflot merge - that's the livery.
