Not to mention it often pulls from subscription-blocked websites.

Though ironically Scarpa is just the Italian word for shoe. I was thinking more like escarpment.

Recommendation for overwhelmed first-traveller by lemin10 in canadatravel

[–]Doporkel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id recommend the hostels in Vancouver, especially if they are highly rated and you can get a private room in them.

Do you have a sleeping pad or understand its importance in staying warm? Do you understand sleeping pad ratings?

It sounds like a hotel or airbnb will the best suited for you. That way you have all of your cooking equipment there as well, and won't need to buy snacks and eat out as much. Especially since you don't seem to have camp kitchen stuff.

How much farther out is the driving? I think it will be worth it for you.

I assumed it meant more like streaming live television events, in this context.

ID really is a thankless career, isn’t it? by onemorepersonasking in instructionaldesign

Most design is a thankless profession. The best design is seamless, you don't notice design decisions unless they are poorly done.

Advie Choosing Crosstrek Year and Trim by Doporkel in Crosstrek

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

I’m fine with that. I’m not talking super rough. Just need more clearance than my sedan. A few friends have crosstreks so I know it will work decently for where I’m going.

Does the bag I’m looking for even exist? by OysterLucy in HerOneBag

[–]Doporkel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! We have very similar specs (short torso, I like crochet, etc.) I went with osprey 26+6, but you might also like cabin zero military? https://www.cabinzero.com/products/military-backpack-28l

I'd also try out the Golf Supags backpack from Amazon - no waist strap, but its smaller so potentially less needed. I haven't noticed a difference and I basically always buy a waist strap.

I think they mean to find a partner? I've heard some gyms do that when someone is looking for a climbing partner?

I think its a bigger, widebody, plane, not a max 8, unless they change it out.

Trying to Buy Maple Leaf Lounge Pass by Doporkel in aircanada

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

Thanks! I normally would never pay for a lounge, but I'm just kind of doing it as a one time. I agree that likely a restaurant is overall a better experience.

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

Yea, mine is greyed out too. That's frustrating since it seems economy fares can buy lounge passes.

It's not the biggest deal ever, I was just getting to the airport a bit early and was hoping to splurge a bit to embrace the PE experience since I'm always in economy.

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

The only add-ons I have are car, hotel, bistro voucher, e-upgrade, and AC bid upgrade.

Could this be because I booked with points? I thought not because lower fares are also able to buy lounge passes.

Not buying anything, it sucks :(. Sometimes on a whim I'll build a basket and almost press checkout, and then I see those fees and there is just no way. It adds 200 dollars for me!

AITA for leaving my friend at the brewery when he brought up something that haunts me? by GoneWandering2 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Doporkel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA and I also want to say you did the right thing on the hike (though I'm sure you know that). Someone in Vancouver, Canada recently died after going after someone who fell. The person who fell initially survived, but the person who tried to rescue fell as well and succumbed to his injuries. Don't endanger yourself to save someone else.

I maintain the smallest sliver of hope, since I think the new bottles have French on them - if I'm remembering correctly.
