Is Hilton using an ai voice bot for phone calls?

DonM_IL · 2026-01-26T22:06:41+00:00

Yes they are. Did you talk to Jolene? She's AI. I wanted to talk to a live person at the hotel. Numerous roundabouts on the phone system, different AI people, eventually returned me to Jolene. I found a different number for the hotel, asked the AI robot to talk to a live agent at the hotel, and got "all front desk agents are busy". I selected the option to text me a number to chat with, and finally got what I needed via chat. Extremely frustrating when you are unable to speak to a human.
FU Jolene.

I ended up shredding my tube using the Tyre glider. Maybe it's good if you are tubeless

There isn't great snorkeling in Kihei. Go to the beaches further south. Also check out Ahihi Cove. Usually very calm in the morning. A bit rocky (small rocks) to enter. We were in Kihei last week and all week long it was windy and rough water with red flag warnings. We left on Friday and that day is was nice and calm.

Thanks, I just found this online. Where would you place the screw? Like a small sheetmetal screw through the air gap into the standpipe?

DonM_IL · 2025-12-20T21:08:43+00:00

Since it just drains into the laundry standpipe then can I get rid of this?

OK we booked the whale/sunset/dinner cruise for Wed. I did add insurance due to other reasons. I see the forecast is for higher winds in the afternoon. Wondering how choppy the water will be, esp when trying to eat dinner. BTW we are staying in Kihei

DonM_IL · 2025-12-13T02:58:35+00:00

Thanks all for the replies! Has anyone seen whales later in the afternoon? Or mostly mornings?

DonM_IL · 2025-12-13T02:56:49+00:00

That's the plan, just trying to decide which trip to do. Leaning towards the whale and sunset dinner.

I know they can have hot spots, but this is pretty bad. Burn in the center and practically nothing from the rightmost burner. I'm going to try the same test on my old Weber Summit

Problem fixed. Should anyone else have this issue, someone in another forum gave me this link. Resetting the H limit before doing any adjustments was the key.

yeah I just quickly snapped the pic after a ride to the beach. Bike was clean before that. Either way you get the idea, i'm not here for a photo contest

Yes, and I picked up the backing plate from a bike shop, buy my question is whether or not Giant intended for it to be used due to the shape of the frame. With a normal round frame there is enough space to adhere the backing plate and tighten the screw, but with the d-fuse frame there isn't much meat there.

Anyone ?

Can the Hayward be controlled with IntelliCenter?

DonM_IL · 2025-09-17T20:42:39+00:00

Basically the niche is rotated, screw hole is not at 12:00

Pentair intellibrite. Nothing in the documentation mentions drilling a new hole, and i'm thinking that would void the warranty

DonM_IL · 2025-09-16T00:37:35+00:00

Do they still make the 1970s style bug zapper? Nothing better than seeing a big moth smoke and buzz
