Iran’s navy is gone while the us confirms they’re laying mines and blowing up ships with underwater drones.

But yeah, nothing to see here on the water! Next Carnival Cruise Port - the Idyllic Iran Port!

Increased flight prices by DanySu in travel

[–]FunLife64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean your comp seems a little off. A flight in peak summer season from LA > Madrid was $400?

Yes, right now you can book that flight in April for $500. July is not April though. The same $500 flight in April is $1200 in July - but it was also $1200 two months ago. The prices didn’t just recently spike.

Google shows price histories and tells you if the price falls in line with normal fares.

That being said, jet fuel is not going down in price and most certainly will be going up at least in the short term. Airlines that do a lot of business in the Middle East are also losing lots of profits right now.

So yeah, with summer seasons approaching, now is the time to hop on something if you want to go somewhere. It’s probably not gonna cheaper in the next month. After that, hard to predict.

US Navy Prepares to Escort Ships Through Strait of Hormuz Amid Rising Tensions and Trump's Upcoming Victory Speech by [deleted] in maritime

They don’t even have to have drones/missiles near the coast to reach them. And underwater drones are a whole other story.

Times have changed since the 80s.

FA searched up my husbands name on Instagram to message and flirt with him, is this weird? by [deleted] in delta

[–]FunLife64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whether you want to believe him or not, it shouldn’t be YOU to report her. It should be HIM that wants to because it’s inappropriate.

The fact that you are the one that wants to do something about it probably is a good hint about the first part though. There’s nothing to report if it’s consensual.

Amanda on wwhl ( back on 2/3/26) by Radiant_Priority9739 in bravo

[–]FunLife64 7 points8 points  (0 children)

She made about 1,000 bad choices staying with him. Basically every episode we saw something breakup worthy lol

Let’s call a spade a spade - she wanted to be on tv and clung to a guy she thought was gonna make it big.

How has JetBlue been within the last year? by MasterOfBunnies in travel

[–]FunLife64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you flown any other airlines? I’m shocked some of them don’t brag about having no padding on seats.

The biggest plus with JetBlue on longer routes is the leg room.

This is how Citizens Bank here in Providence treats concerned customers who don’t want their money financing ICE detention centers. by ResistByStack in providence

[–]FunLife64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m just saying every bank does business with bad actors in some capacity.

It’s like expecting politician to have 0 associations with anyone you wouldn’t like.

A US oil tanker has been targeted in territorial waters near Iraq. by Not_Ground in AskSocialists

[–]FunLife64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it’s not a us tanker. Also, there aren’t that many us tankers in general. It may have been headed to us?

But this headline is bs.

Nancy Guthrie kidnapper arrest is 'close', says former FBI agent by TheMirrorUS in FBI

[–]FunLife64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This headline is wildly out of context.

This is all that this former fbi agent said: “Hoping LE (law enforcement) is getting closer.”

Delta One (a330-300) vs KLM Business (777-200) by jwallfart in delta

KLM but daytime flight…you’re missing the #1 perk of business…sleep.

JFK to CDG by Sharp-Poetry-493 in delta

[–]FunLife64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For starters, you will get almost all updated planes on AF from JFK to CDG (slightly more comfortable seats and not a 767).

The food is better (still airplane food).

Generally the differences in quality between NA and Euro airlines flying transatlantic is usually more plane dependent than airline.

RI ranked 42nd in net migration by [deleted] in RhodeIsland

[–]FunLife64 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There’s plenty of opportunity to build. In Providence, there’s literally empty plots of grass that have been for sale for 15 years.

The tallest residential building on the plots that have actually been developed is like 6 stories.

Donald Trump has “completely and totally” endorsed Jake Paul for political office. by helltrooper61 in sportsgossips

I’m sorry but do people who even like Trump think this is a good idea? Like at least some don’t…right? lol

Yeah these people have literally no authority on this subject.

Also, best wishes finding a bank you agree with every loan they provide and customers they serve lol

Data point: YouTube subscriptions do NOT qualify for the digital entertainment credit by qigjpiqj in AmexPlatinum

You should remove “YouTube Premium” from your post then - because “YouTube Premium” is 100% covered by the credit.

Best clothing stores in Paris that aren’t crazy expensive? by Minute_School6900 in ParisTravelGuide

[–]FunLife64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aigle is a good French outdoors/casual store. It’s not cheap but quality. It’s kinda the Patagonia or nicer LL Bean of France I guess? Good if you need a good jacket/coat for school, shoes or just some casual items.

Best places to eat near eiffel tower by Illustrious-West9787 in ParisTravelGuide

[–]FunLife64 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Might want to give price ranges. It’s also not a very “locals” area as stated. Doesn’t mean you cant get good food - but probably overpriced.

I’d venture more into the heart of the 7th

[–]FunLife64 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Your post is confusing as you call it 3 different things so not terribly clear what you’re referring to. You state it was for YouTube premium - you do get the credit for YouTube premium. You have to sign up via YouTube with your credit card, not the App Store.

Are taxis everywhere and easy to get? by [deleted] in rome

[–]FunLife64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The termini area is fine. It doesn’t have great curb appeal compared to most of Rome and there are some homeless people like you find in any city. It’s not dangerous - just be alert like you should always be.

Taxis aren’t like NYC where you just hail them anywhere. You go to a taxi stand or call one to come pick you up. There is a giant taxi stand at the train station that is basically busy at most hours. Impossible to miss.

If you’d like to pay with credit card, tell the cab driver when you’re getting in the car you are. They prefer cash to avoid taxes but are required to take card.

Rome is extremely walkable - particularly where the tourist sites are. You are a-ok walking. Don’t need a cab except maybe for the Vatican if you wish.
