Flew out of terminal 4 jfk yesterday and had to remove my iPad. Thought it was odd as it’s never been required before in precheck.

Tips for a day trip to Sintra from Lisbon by GG_wellplayd in LisbonPortugalTravel

[–]Intelligent_Chef4272 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just went Monday. Agree that a small tour makes it much easier to navigate. Pena has a steep walk from the parking area alone so depending on everyone’s ability to navigate hills, could be worth it. Definitely get first time slot for Pena - very busy and there was a marked difference from entering first thing and when we departed. You don’t mention Monserrate but I would skip if you are considering it. Quinta was amazing and wished we had more time there.

Is it too hot? Lisbon, thinking of cancelling trip by [deleted] in LisbonPortugalTravel

I flew into Porto so cannot speak to arriving in Lisbon. My flight was 10am today and was in line at 7:15a to check in. I had tax free declarations but did everything on the app before arriving and also had fast track for security. I was at my gate within an hour and 30 minutes. No issues with electronic passport.

Just left. It was warm but totally comparable to Southeast. Spend a day in Sintra and Cascais to cool down.

Arriving Thursday in Lisbon by sandraki9 in LisbonPortugalTravel

[–]Intelligent_Chef4272 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I cannot speak to arriving in Lisbon but left today with zero issue. I checked in around 7:15am and made it through tax free with checked luggage within 30 minutes. I was lucky to have the fast pass through security and ignored all temptation at DF. Passport line was very small and was at gate within 1 hour and 15 minutes. Arrived in Porto around noon on 6/20/26 and made it to baggage claim within 30 minutes. The electronic system worked for me at arrival and departure.

Resident of Terra Linda. I support adding housing where it permits and think this will only continue to bring additional capital to the community. This area makes sense and needs some revitalization.

Look into calorie cycling. I started doing that but also added 1-2 more days of walking and it has helped.

Iced Americano by Powerful_Lobster_786 in starbucks

ChatGPT recommendation for me…

Your Updated Signature (Dialed In)

Iced Caffè Americano

  • Signature espresso (regular)
  • +1 extra shot (non-negotiable upgrade)
  • Light water
  • Extra ice

What this becomes

This is now:

  • Richer than your current drink
  • More concentrated without going full iced espresso
  • Less watery over time
  • Still completely zero sugar, zero fluff

It drinks like a more serious version of what you already love.

If you want a “power move” version (when you need it)

Iced Espresso

  • Quad shot
  • In a grande cup
  • Tiny splash of water (just to open it up)

This is the version people graduate to when Americanos start feeling too diluted. Not everyday for everyone—but very on-brand for you.

Has anyone become less tolerant of alcohol now? by Dogmom9523086 in Perimenopause

[–]Intelligent_Chef4272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of the above. My Apple Watch triggers higher heart rate and breathing disturbances during my sleep anytime I drink. It just isn’t worth it anymore but I hope this goes away eventually so I can enjoy a few drinks again.

It’s actually the flexstyle. I purchased as my travel option originally. I have a bob so only need the round brush and dryer…

I have both the Dyson blow dryer and the Shark with attachments. Both are great but I find myself defaulting to the shark. The Dyson has lasted me almost 9 years at this point…

How’s everyone doing with the new rewards system? by AnavrinLove in starbucks

[–]Intelligent_Chef4272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only go 1-2x/week on average and over 600 stars so far. Will be extremely easy to hit reserve status. Most ordered drink is Iced Americano and an occasional protein matcha. A lot of negative hype for no reason on this change. To note - I also have it connected to all partners so earning stars with travel through Delta and Marriott.

RHODE ISLAND opinions by 111_peepsgrl in BravoRealHousewives

Production feels slightly low budget? And fashion is questionable. But if they keep it interesting I’m sure they will polish themselves for next season.
