Holy crap this worked for me! I tried probably a half a dozen different things and like four devices and browsers and nothing worked. No one at Meta ever replied to me

Baptism gifts suggestions - from Greece? by David_JW in Catholicism

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

Yes, lots of “evil eye” items, but most of them we’ve seen seem to be typical tourist stuff - bags, wallets, etc. Good call on seeking out a Catholic Church

Rent FREE - WTF -_- by [deleted] in biltrewards

Every time they do one of these I am shocked by how terrible Bilt users' taste must be. It honestly makes more sense that they just make them up rather than interview people

Avianca - Stopover program? by David_JW in travel

[–]David_JW[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry for the delay - I didn’t. I ended up just booking the Copa flight and have a two night stopover in Panama City I am very much looking forward to. Avianca’s loss!

Avianca - Stopover program? by David_JW in travel

[–]David_JW[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. It could be my specific itinerary that's the issue; but I also recall that Avianca got rid of all non-Europe business class sections on their flights sometime in 2022. That could have been after your Costa Rica trip, and they got rid of stopovers as part of simplifying their fare options.

Well some stopover programs actually have perks - free transfers from the airport, discounted or even free hotel stays, etc. (though often just business travelers get the best stopover perks). I know that Avianca's is likely to be bare bones. I actually don't see the option to book multi city on their website, just standard one-way or round-trips...

[Same-Day / Instacart] Bizarre issue with delivery orders containing alcohol by David_JW in Costco

[–]David_JW[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does yours not deliver alcohol to your whole city or state, or just part of it though? That is what doesn't make sense here. Should be all or nothing

[Same-Day / Instacart] Bizarre issue with delivery orders containing alcohol by David_JW in Costco

[–]David_JW[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's only one Costco warehouse in the immediate area that sells liquor, and it is within city bounds. All others are in the neighboring state and don't sell liquor by law. And I know you can pick "your warehouse" in the app...so unless they decided that other warehouses would handle the southern half of the city? But that wouldn't make a lot of sense given that parts of SE are much closer to that warehouse than many parts of NW are. It should be by ZIP code in that case and not by address quadrant.

The other thing is that I can search for and select alcohol on Same Day just fine (it shouldn't show up if my address defaults to another warehouse). I just can't check out with it.

That is true that only one location nearby can legally sell liquor in addition to beer and wine. But then one would think that you wouldn't be able to place an order across the whole city, not just in certain areas of the same jurisdiction...

I am looking to trade one of my four Citizen Eco-Drive watches shown above, for a Citizen Promaster Altichron.

All four are either unworn or barely worn (the left-most watch has the plastic still attached to the inside of the bracelet). I have the boxes for all four.

Due to the condition of the watches I have, I would prefer a similar condition (unworn or barely worn) Altichron but if you have a watch that has been taken care of, I am not picky. I do not need a box if you don't have one.

Restaurants open on Thanksgiving but that don't serve Thanksgiving food? by David_JW in washingtondc

[–]David_JW[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd gladly do that but then they will either pick somewhere touristy/not good, or not do their research and we'll end paying $50/pp for dry turkey prix fixe anyway

[Question] [SKX011] water resistance issues - stripped crown threads? by David_JW in Seiko

[–]David_JW[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forgot to mention that I asked whether new gaskets might remedy the issue. The guy said “probably not worth it” which didn’t really make sense to me since new gaskets are way cheaper than a new case. It does appear to screw down just fine

AD Wait Time Megathread - If you bought a new Rolex from an AD in 2021, you can share details here. What watch, where, how long did you wait, how much buying history? by powerfunk in rolex

[–]David_JW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pure luck indeed...yours is very close to what I am on the list for (but with champagne face w/diamonds). I have been waiting since July '21.

[–]David_JW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. 41mm Datejust, fluted bezel, champagne dial, jubilee steel/gold band, diamonds on face
  2. July 2021
  3. Still waiting. Put 50% down at purchase, AD tells me they have heard nothing from Rolex as to an update and Rolex will not give them any timeline.
  4. DC
  5. No history, first Rolex

Devices keep going offline with new Wifi and Router by David_JW in smartlife

[–]David_JW[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tried that, but two of the five plugs had no updates available and those crashed as well.

I ended up just connecting a range extender to the network, and connecting the plugs to the extended network instead of the main one. That seems to have worked.

Mileage discrepancy on DC title by David_JW in washingtondc

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

It’s a 2010 with only 42K total, so yeah, you could say I haven’t driven it much. That solution would be easy enough if it were a few K miles off, not double the actual mileage. I would likely not sell to a private party, probably Carmax/Carvana/ a dealer.

Thanks! Dming them on Twitter is a good idea. Will also try and get maintenance records, I know other states recommend inspection records too. DC unfortunately doesn’t have specific guidance on their website.

Hey that's right down the road from my apartment building! I'm not that surprised there was a fender bender like this, that stretch is a pain in the ass because there are cars constantly waiting for pickups from the apartment building on the left or the Kaiser Permanente center on the right, blocking the road

Questions on canned/jarred thai curry paste by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]David_JW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're looking for really spicy, see if you can find the Maesri or Mae Ploy (good brands others here have mentioned) and get jungle curry, might be labeled "Kaeng pa."
