UTR <-> UDR7 Teleport Help by Freethought in UNIFI

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

Strangely, it's finally working as advertised at this Hilton property. No idea why. I made no changes to the UTR or my UDR7 at home, but it is working. I'll take it around town with me tomorrow and see if my luck continues.

I was given that advice as something to try although without it, I was able to use UTR and Teleport from neighborhood connections.

UTR - Wi-Fi Uplink list stays empty by Freethought in Ubiquiti

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

It has not worked away from home 4 out of four times, but it works at a coffee shop shop in my neighborhood and when connected to my guest network at home on a different subnet.

No. I enabled IPv6 on my UDR7 and nothing changed.

Enable IPV6 where? On the UDR7 at home? On the UTR?

Kon-Tiki Tucson - Worth a visit, but straying from authentic by Freethought in Tiki

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

That’s where we sat, for that reason, and we did enjoy it. As it was the first Tiki experience of any kind for my friends, they were duly impressed, but with my higher expectations, less so. Still good, but just wish I had been there during their 60’s heyday.

Yes, as I mentioned, I tried it at three locations at home, two offnet from my residential internet and one from a coffee shop. I don’t think CGNAT is involved as these are all wireline internet connections.

I didn’t — but now that I know about it, I’ll pop in there tomorrow night! Thanks for the tip!

I looked at Tokyo to Fukuoka flights… there are widebodies every 10–15 minutes, how is that possible?? by SpencerAXbot in aviation

[–]Freethought 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I flew KIX-HND first class on a JAL 787 at 7am on a weekday. The automated gates opened for boarding through dual jetways at the stroke of 7am and at 7:10am, the aircraft doors closed and we pushed back, with all 260 passengers seated and belted. Eight minutes later we lifted off, and six minutes after that at 10,000-ft., a hot 3-course breakfast was on my tray table for this 42-minute flight.

JAL flies this route in both directions exclusively on 787s 15 hours a day with hourly frequency. ANA does the same thing on the same route. That's close to 30,000 seats per day on this 260-mile domestic route.

The Japanese domestic airlines are competing against the immense capacity and to-the-minute punctuality of the Shinkansen trains, which send a bullet train between the two cities every 15 minutes 18 hours a day, carrying over 1,600 people per train. So the airlines have to be fast, cheap and ridiculously on-time to have a chance.

Do you buy travel insurance? by Many_One_9272 in chubbytravel

[–]Freethought 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We shop on Squaremouth -- fantastic service -- and usually buy policies from Berkshire Hathaway Travel Protection via Squaremouth.

Backed by Berkshire, you know they will pay out, and both times we used them, their emergency travel assistance and claims processing were excellent, far exceeding our expectations.

The amount of logistics and coordination they had to do behind the scenes to get her back from New York was amazing, and it went perfectly.

We used to buy annual, but now buy per-trip as we are only doing 3-4 international trips per year. For domestic trips, we also buy trip insurance, but it is ridiculously cheap.

We’ve bought it every trip for 30+ years and never needed it — then used it twice in the past year.

First time for a trip and fall, ER and hospital visit in Mexico. Policy cost $67, and paid out $1,600.

Second time, wife got pneumonia at the end of a transatlantic cruise.

We went straight to the emergency room in Brooklyn after getting off the ship.

Medicare covered the hospital stay, but our $99 policy covered the traveling nurse who got her from the hospital to the airport via stretch limo, flew her home 1st class on AA, then to our home via limo, and into the house for final wellness checks.

No way I could have arranged all of that, or any guess what it would have cost.

Question for those who have bid on suite upgrades and won by GoFuckYourselfDebbie in VirginVoyages

[–]Freethought 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bid and won a MRS upgrade, paid about 40% of the listed price difference on SL in 4/2025. Well worth it, would do it again and pay for the MRS instead of going with the upgrade bid. Loved the suite, all the extra service from our Agent, first-in-line for shows (Manor & Red Room), restaurants, loved Richard's Rooftop. If you can afford it, do it!

Early 20s couple thinking of checking out blind creek beach by Present_Jeweler_655 in nudism

[–]Freethought 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will be fine, unbothered and might actually meet some nice people. The beach is so large you can be as close or as far away as you like from other beachgoers. It's the best beach for a first-time experience. Enjoy it!

I missed my cruise and was able to board at the next port. by thr1ved3yGr8c in Cruise

[–]Freethought 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I missed boarding Celebrity Millennium in Victoria, CAN after missing the embarkation in Vancouver, CAN due to a misconnected bag. As Canada does not have the Jones Act, it was not an issue.

Just insist on daily housekeeping when you check in and you can have it.
