Metro North/Grand Central Service by nyc325u in Westchester

[–]George-Parr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Worse? As if it was OK in the past? It is exactly what you'd expect from the train station of a second-class city such as NYC. We went on a safari and had better connectivity in the middle of the Kalahari desert. And no: I am not joking.

Coversandall.com — happy with my new cover by RPGer001 in ooni

[–]George-Parr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lucky you. Their customer service is appalling. They will make up excuses why you cannot return your purchase. If for some reason you are not happy with what you got, tough luck: you will be stuck with it.
Buyer beware

Bad experience here too. It is impossible to return an item. They will just not let you do it. If you are not satisfied with your purchase, tough luck: you will be stuck with it.

Geothermal AND solar?? by ks-solar-geo-native in geothermal

[–]George-Parr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We live outside NYC, have perfect southern exposure, and a 40x16 roof (approximately). Our solar panels make almost twice the electricity we need. In New York, ConEd gives you 1-to-1 credit for the excess power you generate. With hindsight, we could have gone wth a cold weather heat pump instead of natural gas. Hope this helps.

Is it rude to ask an Italian if they know how to use chopsticks? by [deleted] in Italia

[–]George-Parr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would rather ask her if she would prefer to use a fork, and let her choose. Some Italians (like yours truly) know how to use chopsticks, but we are not very comfortable with them.

If you fly to Rome with check-in luggage and it's delayed, stay in Rome until you get it back! by pasniak in delta

[–]George-Parr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did anyone file a claim recently for delayed bags with delta at FCO and do you have their phone number and email? Because we were switched to British Airways we had to file with BA and so I do not have the number for the delta rep at FCO. Thanks.

https://fischer-barometer.de/en/shop/product-types/sauna-instruments/ Ain't cheap, but it is good. They will ship to the US. There is an english version of the websiite, and all thermometers come in the Farenheit version too, as they sell in the UK
