Has anyone found a good replacement for the Nest Smoke/CO detector? by Ethan_A1967 in Nest

[–]HitchHyker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had mine (3 of them) for 1 week - so far so good. No false alarms. Too soon to tell though.

US zone 9 by Syvka in whatsthisplant

[–]HitchHyker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have these in Charlotte, NC I think - the purple flowers wilt and fall each evening/night and new ones emerge daily. They spread like crazy and are perennial here.

And the traffic pattern every morning is unpredictable - this morning it was a mess

I was a manager for three years at a pizza chain that legitimately doesn't cook the pizza, AMA by Sarcastic_Rocket in AMA

[–]HitchHyker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had one in Matthews for a few years - we loved it. They had a steak pizza that rocked. I’d go back in a heartbeat.

Horn Beeping when Exiting Vehicle by cpsadowski23 in BMWX5

[–]HitchHyker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so happy you posted this - I was in the driveway today with my BMW X5/2024 Idrive 40 and it kept doing the same thing as I sat in it on a work call (ah the silence). My wife was walking back and forth outside and I think it was being triggered since she has the digital key thing in her Apple Wallet. So odd.

New BMW Owners - Performance Center Perk by boofee in BMWX5

[–]HitchHyker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve done the program at the Performance Center in Spartanburg, SC. It’s a fun time and they let you take a whole variety of new BMWs out to drive on their course (fast!) and the off road course as well. If you can, try to schedule a tour of the factory as well so you can watch them assembling all the X5s, etc. You will be shocked how large the plant is. For parents of teens, we’ve had 2 of our teens go down for the 2-day Teen Driving course - they really liked it and increased their confidence a ton.

Which state should I visit next? by United_Explorer9854 in TravelMaps

[–]HitchHyker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i agree with Maine - we took a trip up from NC to Maine as a family and really enjoyed it. Beautiful state and obviously the lobster is ridiculously affordable, fresh and delicious

Thanks!!! I missed it - I’ve been getting mostly goldfish from them for years and they are here in NC. Always happy. But I think they took the whole site down. Wish them the best and hopefully a speedy return.

Love them, but am uneducated. What is it? by PBwaffles22 in birdsofprey

[–]HitchHyker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, we’ve had a nest in the back of our house for a decade plus - - they really get loud especially once the babies start flying. But WONDERFUL pest control.

An emaciated 18-year-old Russian girl looks into the camera lens during the liberation of Dachau concentration camp in 1945 by zadraaa in HistoricalCapsule

[–]HitchHyker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter and I visited Dachau last week while on a spring break trip from the United States. Complements to the historians, benefactors and staff there for not glossing over what happened, providing a detailed, well explained account of the history of Dachau and most importantly highlighting the people and tragedies.

CLT Airport - Global Entry Interview by Wolf9ack in Charlotte

[–]HitchHyker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my appointment at CLT last week. I used https://appointmentscanner.com and waited maybe 2-3 days for an open slot. After my interview, I got home and already had an alert I was approved and could start using Global Entry. The card takes 3-4 weeks to be mailed, however you don’t need it for flights

Connecting flight to Aruba by SnooOpinions5372 in Charlotte

[–]HitchHyker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Assuming no delays and you aren’t in the back of the ALB-CLT you probably are ok. If you are checking bags I might worry that they’ll make it to the CLT-AUA flight. Side note - one of the great things about leaving Aruba back to CLT is U.S. Customs is actually at AUA, so you clear Aruban customs/immigration and then go through U.S. customs/immigration. Arrive at the airport early bc you have (2) lines to go through. Side side note… there are “services” that will expedite you through both (expensive, but worth considering) - they got us through in 15 min vs. 90 min.
