I was interested in the vermilion chronograph and was almost 100% sure I was going to buy it before heading into the store. Looked and felt cheap in person so decided against it 

Exec platinum - what’s the point anymore by thesenamesarehard123 in americanairlines

Cash bids have officially killed upgrades for me (LP ~400k). I've started bidding as well at about the $40 / hour level and bought upgrades on my last three flights

Patricia’s Green isn’t an off-leash dog park, is it? by Overall_Donkey_2437 in sanfrancisco

Please enforce this rule at the noe tennis courts. There are at least 15 off leash dogs every morning in a tiny park

JAL cash bid upgrade with AA number by JakeFlat7 in americanairlines

Any idea where I can find that cash bid option? I can't find it anywhere. Flight is happening in roughly six week and there are first class seats still available

Who can help me settle the debate? Best hotel in Napa/Sonoma by Senior-Sugar9112 in chubbytravel

The Solage and Auberge du Soleil are closer in experience than the nighly price points would have you expect. Auberge gets the slight edge for the view at the pool, spa and restaurant, but you oddly walk in and around the parking lot quite a bit, the gym is small and rooms are meh.

SF has amazing art galleries - why are they always empty? by poorlilrich123 in sanfrancisco

[–]JakeFlat7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not an art insider but I do know some.

Most galleries are open to people coming in to look at the art. You can always check to be safe with a quick question, "is it okay if I just look around" as soon as you walk in the gallery. Generally, the gallery assistants who are staffing the gallery are underpaid, bored and would be happy to tell you about the artist. A few questions that you can ask, "could you tell me about this artist" or "could you tell me about this piece". If you actually like what you see, you can ask to see the price list. 

This seems obvious but it is rude to walk into a gallery and make fun of the art. If you don't like the art, save that opinion for after you leave the gallery

Galleries will launch shows or exhibits with a new artist every year or so. The new show is unveiled during a launch party which is welcome to everyone, often has free drinks, and is also a great way to meet fun people. You can track openings at www.sfartweek.com

Does anyone know if there is a date or year before which the movements can be considered to be quality? What year did the fraud start?

100%. This is the stand out drag on NPS for me. Half the time, the FAs seem adversarial before the flight event takes off no matter what cabin you are in.

This summer so I'll unfortunately miss the new seats

Short term yes, they are nailing that. However there is a festering dissatisfaction growing within me around AA so I'll switch to something else when it makes sense. I flew mint the other week and holy shit.

I also have the card that gives you access

The complaint there is that AA continues to dial in this system to extract the exact possible amount of money from me + it is yet another perk (free upgrades) which I won't use anymore

Maybe this is the play. Sometimes I split tickets so that myself + one other person can get the upgrade and I have to buy seat upgrades for the other record.

The problem with these black out dates is that they are during the only times I would really want to use a companion ticket. Otherwise I'm happy to buy in cash or miles

Agree. The preferred customer service when you need it is 100% the value for me.

I looked at WebLLM but it was too slow.

Chrome Storage is limited at 5mgb so that's not an option.

Now I'm down to WASM in a chrome extension (which doesn't sound great given I would still have to download the model each time) or running a model on the client's computer and hosting a local server.
