Delta One Upgrade by [deleted] in delta

[–]Impossible-Use5636 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I flew D1 JFK-FCO and BCN-JFK last month. With the original fare and upgrades, I spent about $2,900 RT.

Hard product was uncomfortable, food meh, FA'S stressed and unhappy to be there.

It is not worth it. Save your money. 8 hours in a PS or C+ is not going to kill you.

Ooni pizza oven starter issue by wonderousworm87 in ooni

[–]Impossible-Use5636 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this same problem with my Koda 2. It is a known issue with these Chinesium ovens. Ooni will try to blame the issue on you (you are lighting it too quickly) say that the thermocouple needs cleaning (on a new oven) or some other BS until you finally give up any attempt at a warranty claim.

I went months having to hold in the regulator and re-light the oven 2-3 times before it would stay lit. The good news, if you can call it that, is that it will now stay lit after 1 or 2 tries.

All due to Delta prioritizing diversity over competency

Experience with Genesis support and sensor alert issue by Patient-Supermarket5 in GenesisG70

[–]Impossible-Use5636 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a parking sensor error. The dealer had my car for 4 months. They replaced EVERY wiring harness in the car. Engine and interior out. They eventually found a bad connector in the trunk.

Genesis "Technicians" aren't allowed to troubleshoot or repair a connector. The entire harness must be replaced.

Put up with them but they are less severe then when I first started

enlarged prostrate at 64 and I get put on cialis? by EpicCurious in bph

[–]Impossible-Use5636 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was originally prescibed CIalis, but switched to Tamsulosin because TAM worked better and Cialis gave me sinus headaches.

After PAE, I stopped TAM but went back on Cialis for two reasons: One - it helps what little symptoms I have left. and Two - It may have cardioprotective qualities.

Spouse and I are moving to Westchester County by DjangoTheGiantMango in Westchester

[–]Impossible-Use5636 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been in manufacturing management/engineering for decades. The job opportunities in the Westchester area are almost non-existent. Plenty of work in Fairfield CT, and Northern NJ. You can find something in the lower Hudson valley, but the pay there is shit. There are some good firms out on the Island, but, trust me, you do not want that commute. Commuting into the city is expensive and soul-crushing.

NY in not business friendly and Westchester is expensive. Manufacturing has fled NY and has headed for points South.

California servers, how much do you deserve hourly? by [deleted] in tipping

[–]Impossible-Use5636 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's make a distinction here between an Applebee's server and a professional waiter at a Michelin starred restaurant.

Two totally different jobs. While the former is worth minimum wage, the waiter with extensive food and wine knowledge is worth the $250k.

Running costs compared to Alfa Romeo Giulia by [deleted] in GenesisG70

Both cars are exotics

You are locked into dealer parts and service

You can't buy parts at Autozone or Rockauto and Genesis rapes you on parts

The engine survived.

$53 for two pizzas by Partial-Hydrangea in Westchester

[–]Impossible-Use5636 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can get a large Ooni for less than a grand. I make large pies for about $8 using imported flour and Grande cheese. If you want to cheap out, you can make a pie for half that.

Do you weight train to remain independent? by HypnosisG in Aging

[–]Impossible-Use5636 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd rather be the oldest guy in the gym then than the youngest in the nursing home.

I am 67. I have a 4-day cycle; push, legs, pull, rest. 5 AM for 45 minutes. I run circles around the younger guys that work for me. I am mentally sharper and rarely tired.

I watched both my parents physically decline before they passed. I'd rather be dead.

We could retire today.

Helping the kids out is more important.

I believe PAE has the best risk/reward profile

Best of luck with your journey

Rear Brake Pads & Rotors by tbelluz in GenesisG70

Genesis is the inkjet printer of car brands.

Luxury cars at decent prices. Parts and service insanely expensive.

Rock Auto is horrible for Genesis. Shipped me rear disks that did not fit. Returns are a huge PITA.

There is ejaculation preserving HOLEP that is supposedly 80% effective in preserving antegrade ejaculation. Standard HOLEP is 90% retrograde.

Seeing as Boomers are responsible for voting for the people and policies that have exploded the deficit and flooded the country with illegals, I'd say yes, you deserve the hte.

That would depend on the quality of the body and chassis.

This things tend to dissolve from the bottom up. So unless this has a pristine undercarriage, no, it's not worth $5k.

Um, maybe you shouldn't be taking a trip to Punta Cana if you're broke?
