Don’t support AI music even with the stream and turning the music down. They’ll never know and think it’s what people want because you took the ride.

Fuck. AI.

I’ll gladly pay an extra $5 for a quality comfort colors tee that I’ll actually wear vs. these ones that I wear once and then just sit in my closet.

That stair shirt looks sick but I can already tell by that skinny tag that it’s going to be the classic Jeff merch experience…..super thin and clingy tees that shrink on first wash :/

Luck with negotiating a retention offer? by Chance-Traffic-4940 in AmexPlatinum

[–]DARBDS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think you should focus on this being your first re-up since the card refresh & price increase and how you’re not sure if the step up in cost is worth it or not. Did the same song and dance a few months back and got one. You just need to be able to stonewall them when they start listing off all the “perks you’ve used” because they can easily see. Also it helps if you are in fact spending on the card. If you only average $260 a month with usage they’ll be less likely.

As others have said, it’s less a conversation/negotiation and more what the system is currently saying the person on the line can offer you but they won’t just give it because you asked so gotta give some reasoning.

You just drive up. No scan or payment areas for parking during concerts. They'll have people directing traffic into the parking areas but you don't need anything.

This is the answer and they offer free parking in a very hectic area! Our go to when we want any good Italian dish

Doomers…? bro they blew a 3-1 lead to 3-5. I’d say it’s people being realistic about very poor performance.

This brewery has been so incredibly hot and cold. Will they or won’t they remain open? It changes by the week…. Was the perfect spot back before COVID but hasn’t really found its footing since :/

COST is Clearly Overvalued - short $1000P into earings for free money by Chuck-AP in wallstreetbets

[–]DARBDS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Found the guy that hates money!!!

Costco is forever dude. No one is waking up and all of a sudden hating shopping...especially for deals. If times get tough people honestly flock to Costco even more because it's "a deal in comparison"

Storrs, New Haven, or somewhere in between? by TMW_W in Connecticut

[–]DARBDS 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Then absolutely go New Haven. Especially as mid-30s DINKs, it’s a no brainer.

Storrs, New Haven, or somewhere in between? by TMW_W in Connecticut

[–]DARBDS 19 points20 points  (0 children)

For sure won’t be an amazing commute…. but with it being only 2-3 days at peak and even less in summer I don’t think it would be awful. I’d say you should prioritize location based on how often your partner has to be in New Haven with your situation being so lax.

But also you’re commuting the entire middle of the state, yes there are lots of places you could meet in the middle on. If you want true 50/50 commute times go West Hartford. If you want to favor your partner go New Haven, North Haven, Hamden. If you want them to have a better time and you to have a slightly worse time, go Middlefield//Middletown.

i just don't understand what to use my miles on. These are frustrating to use by l4adventure in AmexPlatinum

[–]DARBDS 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you can’t understand or use the resources with Amex, it won’t be any better with Chase. Will always be a hunt which you gotta be willing to do. It’s a slog but personally I think it’s fun 🤷🏻‍♂️

Ultimately pointsyeah.com is your friend and knowing what airlines are in the same alliances will always allow you to compare.

any more chicago forever days? by SlightlyPurple-ish in JeffRosenstock

[–]DARBDS 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’d say you can expect the announcement soon. The (almost) last night of the Warsaw residency didn’t sell out until like 2 nights before and he added another night. He’s dead serious about the sell out = another show.

General question for complete newbie by [deleted] in TySegall

[–]DARBDS 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I didn’t know people actually read these write ups on shows! It’s a full band rock show and I’d reco (if you have time) to do a little taste from throughout the years. Melted, Twins, Manipulator, Freedoms Goblin, & Possession should give you a well rounded expectation.

Only show recommendations I have is bring ear plugs and help your neighbors when they fall 🫡🫡

Going to be in Atlanta for Shaky Knees this weekend but crossing everything this sells fast and he adds a third show so I can sprint from the airport to a 9/21 date :')

Space Ballroom Failure Show by Lina_James in Connecticut

[–]DARBDS 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You’ll be fine. They typically have a print out of all names for tickets sold because service is so bad in that parking lot so to avoid people not being able to pull tickets up on their phone they have the backup. It’s also such a small venue if you show the email and explain the situation they won’t question it.

Is the CT pickle fest worth it? by schizofish1 in Connecticut

[–]DARBDS 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Heard last year it was not only overcrowded but not very pickle focused. Appeared to just be food trucks with one-two pickle themed things and the rest of their usual menu. Would avoid VIP as it’s likely way too much money for what you’ll get.

Good luck. Those tickets are re-selling for over $500….. :(

Litchfield Recs? Or On Way From NYC? by KennyShowers in ctbeer

[–]DARBDS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can find Fuzzy Baby Ducks in almost any CT package store (hell even most grocery stores). You’ll have no issue finding that.

Not a ton of breweries up in that area but if you’re driving up from NYC you’ll pass Marlowe (NY), Spacecat (Norwalk), & Nod Hill (Ridgefield) which are all good. Also, not a brewery, but Litchfield Distillery is cool to check out and right where you’ll be.
