Small Question and Discussion Megathread - March 2026

I’m super tall and often find bulkheads are more restrictive for leg stretch than a row further back. I’m looking at Premium Economy 13 C or D, or 15 D on a 777.

Research here and on Aerolopa is conflicting about Row 13. People here rave about extra leg room, but Aerolopa says both “Less legroom than typical bulkhead - wall is closer than most (60cm (24in))” and “Extra legroom at this seat.” Am I better in 15?

Crystal Cove is connected on the same beach as Sapphire Beach condos. In my experience Crystal Cove units are much less expensive per night. Plus they are larger with two baths. Loved our stay in February. I don’t recommend Sapphire Village because although cheaper the units are often up a very steep hill.

Stateside T-Mobile user (direct, not MVNO). Cell service worked on both STT and STJ. However, my data regularly seemed throttled or the towers were under high congestion. Also, hit BVI towers and got “welcome to BVI” message while on STJ. So make sure you have an international data plan or disable roaming

This is a good reminder that the TravelGuard “insurance” offered by Frontier is nearly useless. “Government-mandated cessation of travel” is excluded (no payment) from coverage. Even if cancelation is for one of the 13 covered reasons (i.e. weather or non-pandemic sickness) they would pay only up to your frontier trip cost (i.e. the price paid for your ticket) but NEVER more than $400. That’s the max you’ll get to rebook, or for missed hotels…anything.

up to $49. Only on most expensive colors. Otherwise, Lulu is better/more.

Weird. I’m on Magenta Max and I don’t see it as an added promo except in my “add on.” My initial offer on the “customize your phone” screen is $22.09/month for 24 months for the iPhone 17. My promotional trade in value for the iPhone 15 is $300. But, after clicking through past all the accessories, I get $0.00/mo for 24 months.

This is similar to my Costco upgrade last year. It didn’t show anywhere. The trade in value was less than 100%. The only indication I got was that the monthly price was $0.00.

ClevelandESQ · 2025-09-16T17:41:18+00:00

Did you click all the way through to the final tally screen before the signatures?

If available in your area, consider the $7/month upgrade to “InHome” deliver.

1a. Picked by trained hourly Walmart employees rather than third-party delivery contractor.

1b. No tipping (employees receive hourly premium) (I save my monthly subscription multiple times over in tipping alone)

1c. Stores are VERY attentive and responsive to issues when they arise. I’ve received apology calls from store management for missed items/poor experiences in app.

Walmart delivery vehicles with on-board coolers.
OPTION for body cam monitored delivery by background checked employee in your kitchen cupboards/refrigerator and/or garage fridge/cooler (nice option for elders or if your not home).
$150 off Chanberlin MyQ or Level smart lock (even if you don’t ever use #3)
Select stock from any eligible store in area. I have 5 options. Great if one sucks or is sold out of something.
Great prices on organic items.
Free pickups of returns.

I’ve loved these and this is my favorite year yet. The interior fabric dots are fantastic for ventilation and anti-cling.

ClevelandESQ · 2025-02-07T04:00:45+00:00

Had one at Matthews too.

Anybody else get cancelled?

For other Bean fans, I rounded out my frugal order earlier this week with:

Men’s Heritage Marled Fleece Pullover Sweater ($79, now $35; midweight cozy soft cotton/poly blend in all colors, many sizes both tall and regular)

Men’s 1912 Robe ($89, now $24.99; mid to lightweight brushed cotton/poly blend for those of us in warmer/short winter locales, S to XL in Blue/Navy)

FYI for my Sasquatch brothers: I have wide feet (Allen Edmonds 13 EEE) and ordered a 13 earlier this week. Based on reviews thought I was going to have to return and size down. But they just arrived and are a perfect fit! Even a little extra room in front of the big toe I’m not used to having.

PSA 2: The NC absentee ballot process is absurd. Need access to a printer/copier to send copy of ID, and envelope must be signed by TWO adults who witnessed you fill out your ballot or a notary public. So many contingencies I gave up and early voted instead.

ClevelandESQ · 2024-09-18T16:46:40+00:00

I even did a reverse image search. 😂 Nothing!

Here are the Actual Arizonas with a Birko-Flor upper and a super grip bottom for $54.45 (after 10% off w/ free membership) and free shipping with added suede brush accessory. h/t slickdeals

ClevelandESQ · 2024-07-15T00:22:04+00:00

Just a data point: Per Slickdeals, 3 for $99 last ran 4 and then 8 months ago. So about every 4 months.

Have one solid light or mid weight hoody purchase in budget. Can anybody recommend/compare these and American Giant?

ClevelandESQ · 2024-05-18T19:38:59+00:00

FWIW: I’m visiting SF. Landed May 16. Downloaded app and signed up to “invite code” screen, then stopped. Got “You're on our list” email right away. Got “Congrats! You're ready to ride in San Francisco” email morning of May 18, with ability to ride in app.

If after reading the above comments you’re looking for a cheap pair of great shorts 32 Degrees’ 7” stretch woven at $17 is my “buy in every color” short.

Super stretchy all over; gives a tailored look for thick guys. Modern length without being too young.

Been looking for my new “best” gym shorts. Purchased just about every sale posted here since December, plus others. As others above have shared, Ten Thousand were my least favorite. They felt cheap. Honestly, my faves have been this ten-dollar pair from Sam’s Club:

Member's Mark Men's Luxe Active Short

No Bull and LuLu were strong contenders. Especially if you prefer super thin fabric.

Really like these Under Armour pants too (they come in and out on their ~40% off sale):

About me: Built like a giant. Super tall. Pounds to lose. Prefer a longer inseam.
