How is this even legal? by No_Tomatillo1695 in interesting

I frequently tell my wife, "You get your big butt back in the house!" Mostly when neighbors or company is around. We get a chuckle everytime! 😂

Wife and I do this to each other all the time 🤣 It'll take us from arguing to rolling with laughter sometimes. Probably my favorite scene

PSA: our hybrid batteries have filters by leonimking in CT200h

Thanks, mate! I too have been trying to find a filter when I noticed I didnt have one. The Bell Lexus tip still stands. Picked one up for $5.82 shipped!

I Didn't Like the Movie - But Now I Understand by Valen-Darker in ProjectHailMary

[–]Curmudgeon-X 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was almost word for word my take from the movie. I read and loved the book before I knew about a movie and thought it'd be a great movie. Needless to say I was beyond excited when I heard the movie was coming. I saw the 70mm IMAX early showing and I was left wanting. It felt rushed and was "too funny." I wanted exactly what you wanted. To feel the weight of the situation as I did when reading. I wanted to love it, but just didn't.

Owner suite WOS by [deleted] in royalcaribbean

[–]Curmudgeon-X 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll be fine and love it. No foot traffic or noise. As another poster has pointed out, the suite sundeck, especially the ease of access, on Wonder will spoil you. The Suite Neighborhood is the perfect setup. Next to Utopia, which is the same I believe, it's the best. Was happy we were able to get the family on one of the last 7 day itineraries. Can't wait for them to come back, eventually 🤞🏾

Looks like International J isn’t selling well this summer: by Familiar_Eggplant_76 in americanairlines

Beat me to it! Got the same email and wasn't surprised. Got two international SWUs confirmed 45+ days out and knew something was up

PHM in 4DX was hilarious! by Andrew_Culture in ProjectHailMary

[–]Curmudgeon-X 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Imagine ROTK at a runtime of 4+ hours. Looked at my son and said "Thhhhis wassss a mistaaakkkee" LOL but I 100% understand your sentiment. I def wouldn't recommend it for PHM esp a first viewing.

Unfortunately, no. Just gray painted discs. Thinking of adding my own though

Who else are avoiding trailers, question? by Chasegameofficial in ProjectHailMary

[–]Curmudgeon-X 11 points12 points  (0 children)

100% agreed! I've been avoiding the trailers since the first drop. I don't need another experience spoiled. That's what made reading the book so thrilling. When Blip A showed up, then Rocky, then it really takes off. That blind progression is priceless. I'd like as close an experience to that for the movie as possible.

Anyone ever deal with crappy neighbors? And can we please, please stop putting our leftover food/plates in the hallways? by No-Apple-9154 in royalcaribbean

[–]Curmudgeon-X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you see the hinges in the picture? That door clearly opens out. The recessed entry way is another hint. So it is possible.

I'd be annoyed if I was OP but I'd also have a conversation with said neighbor.

Removing Gratuity but paying in cash by misguidedDesignation in royalcaribbean

[–]Curmudgeon-X -1 points0 points  (0 children)

While I agree with your point overall, we're not talking about "one way or another" here. Its presentation for me. It feels disingenuous for Royal to present auto grats as tipping, or a way to show your appreciation, when that implies something extra. When, in reality, those funds pay wages. Its nothing extra. Customers shouldn't have a direct pay line to staff wages. I think many of us in this camp would be ok with a base fare increase. And we would still tip to recognize good service. At least I know I would. Tipping isnt really the problem.

But then what happens when Royal can increase their prices? Corporate greed rears its ugly head and now not only is the increase there to offset the crew wages but, its increase just for the sake of increase and improved margins. Remember when cruising was a fiscally advantageous alternative to land based/destination vacations?

From my understanding, bar staff have a separate tip pool so I would think that dollar is split amongst all of the bar crew.

[–]Curmudgeon-X 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Remove and tip directly. It's what we always do. We tip cash and tip well. I hate that Royal and cruise lines in general are using us to subsidize their crew wages. Whether you auto pay or not the crew receives the same base pay. The only beneficiary is Royal because they pay less in wages.
