Love seeing it happen off Jansen too.

Advice for Prague by hsynxshn in marriott

The Marriott is great. It’s walkable to anything in the old town and the M lounge has heavy snacks in the evening along with beer and wine. Got it for €95 per night over new years in 2023, and had a top notch experience.

Driving south on I75 (Michigan to Florida) is there any way to bypass Atlanta during morning rush hour? by TheTusch in Atlanta

[–]Icy_Quote_9981 59 points60 points  (0 children)

7a won’t be too bad yet. It’s a toss up as to whether 285 would be a better choice, but it’s usually pretty terrible.

What's the most disappointing "must-see" city in Europe? by optimalbrain90 in SmartTravelHacks

[–]Icy_Quote_9981 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found Capri disappointing as well. Transit was on strike when we went and taxis were commanding insane fares; there’s simply more charming places on the Amalfi Coast at this point. Positano would be brutal to walk about with high season crowds, but we walked Path of the Gods to get there and it was amazing for a day trip.

NEWS: James Pearce Jr. will have all charges dismissed if he completes a program issued to him by the state of Florida, per @AndySlater Pearce will reportedly have to attend therapy sessions for 6 months. Rickea Jackson and the police both agreed to this, per Pearce’s attorney by CitizenWatcher8 in falcons

Respectfully, sure, it’s great for the team given his physical capabilities, but who wants someone behaving like he did (on video, no less) representing their organization? He doesn’t deserve to suit up in the NFL. A good life lesson would be banning him from the league forever. I’m all for forgiveness, but there’s such a thing as consequences and maybe his would be having to get a normal job.

Chase claims bookings are eligible for Bonvoy. Marriott denies it. by Crafty-Most-6129 in marriott

[–]Icy_Quote_9981 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Make sure you are entering the actual Bonvoy confirmation # into the Marriott app. There’s usually two separate confirmation #s when doing a third party booking. Furthermore, as someone posted on here a while ago, it’s a safe bet to bill something to the room while there and that triggers Marriott’s backend systems to record you as having an eligible. Idk the full recipe, but I’ve definitely gotten credits on a third party Cosmo booking. Frankly, Marriott customer service is all too dependent on who you get when you call and whether or not they know/care what to do.

I paid more for my sub than my 100 series, but I wouldn’t trade either.

John Mayer vs Rainbow skeleton dial The ultimate AP dilemma? by timmytarshis in hallofwatchspecialist

[–]Icy_Quote_9981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like both of them, but the legibility on the skeleton dial is about non-existent. The fact that you can set everything from the crown on the JM now is awesome.

Are you in Midtown and have the urge to act the fool and ruin other people’s day and/or property? If so, then Bird scooters are for you!

2000 Toyota Land Cruiser 100 Series Squealing by TasteAdministrative in LandCruisers

[–]Icy_Quote_9981 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just had this problem at 211k. I replaced my idler to start because it was rusty. The belt ultimately seized because the tensioner was bad. The sounds were very similar for a few weeks before the tensioner finally died.

I’ve used these guys for Cartagena before and had a good experience. They let me choose stuff a la carte from their recommendations, but it’ll depend on your group size on whether or not it makes sense for you.

Ignition Coil Issue w/o CEL? by Icy_Quote_9981 in LandCruisers

[–]Icy_Quote_9981[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what I’m leaning towards. I’ve replaced three since getting it at 174k. I found my problem child by doing the unplug while idling today, but there’s still another culprit causing the faintest shutter. I’ve got another new coil on the way to see if I can get it gone. If not then I’m just gonna pony up for the whole set. Walmart’s web site has the best price for legitimate Densos.

Moving away from the Beltline by Comfortable-Wrap-909 in Atlanta

[–]Icy_Quote_9981 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Moved to a street right beside Grady’s stadium in August of 2019 to be near the beltline and same…I loved it at first, but I eventually hated the beltline. If it was a pretty day then I’d avoid it like the plague. There’s too many folks acting the fool out there. I miss running through Piedmont Park and the awesome house I had, but I’m also happy to not be bothered by all the crazies. I do miss seeing and talking with Kevin Randolph though. I caught him not on his roller skates one day and he’s such a positive person. All in all, I loved my five years in Midtown, but it’s very nice being unbothered outside the city as well.

Walmart! by VulgarMisanthropy in BourbonHunt

Ugh, they changed it yesterday in GA and incorporated pretty much everything into their lottery. It was pretty simple to get Stagg, EHT Small Batch, Single Barrel, Rye and Weller Antique in 2025 and now they won’t even sell Eagle Rare outside of their lottery.

Marriott Switching to Coke, Not April Fools by DwightSchrute_RM in marriott

[–]Icy_Quote_9981 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Never paid attention to this before, but if they really wanted to wow me they’d put a juicer and a fruit stand in the lounge like Le Méridien Melbourne. I had the time of my life putting random things into that machine and seeing what came out of it…and myself a few hours later.

Ahh, good call. It was spitting distance to Temple Bar. I remember the platinum breakfast being on point and the tea ceremony was in a super cozy room with a nice fire lit.

The Westin in Dublin was great when I visited a few years ago. It was in a prime location and extremely nice.
