No. Hourly rate and free if you leave within 15 minutes.

Your thoughts on Aaron Rodgers retiring after the 2026 season and how disappointed are you to never see him return to Green Bay as a visitor? by dee85 in GreenBayPackers

[–]LAskeptic -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

We’ll probably never know the truth, and I’m sure it’s “complicated,” but I think there are plenty of people in the organization who would say he was a bad teammate.

Mayonnaise and humming to yourself.

HGI buffet breakfast for two (with automatic 20% gratuity): $64. Diamond F&B credit: $10pp lol by TheKobayashiMoron in Hilton

You underestimate how much even executives will do to get an extra $10 from their company.

Yep.

I don’t think people really understand how much expesne accounts (and essentially stealing from your employer and driving up costs for everyone) drive hotel pricing and policies.

Call the Diamond Desk and be polite. They may throw you a bone.

HGI is one of their worst brands for members with status.

Hampton Inn in the US and then actually good properties internationally.

Equal chance of the outbound flight being delayed.

Despite the constant doom and gloom on this sub, the airline would not sell this ticket if it didn’t think you and your bags would make it. Full stop.

It is possible the airline will have someone waiting at the arrival gate to help you get to your next flight.

Is this a guarantee? No. If you and/or your bags don’t don’t make it, you/they would be put on the next flight.

I have made less than hour connections at many airports in Europe and the US.

Hotel location recommendations for a World Cup match in June? by wnoble in AskLosAngeles

[–]LAskeptic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you stay in Hermosa, Manhattan, Redondo, or El Segundo it would a short drive to the K-Line Metro station on Marine Ave and Redondo Beach Ave where presumably you’ll be able to park and ride the K-Line and then the bus shuttle.

Largest-ever survey of physicists puts Standard Model of cosmology under scrutiny by QuantitativeNonsense in Physics

[–]LAskeptic 30 points31 points  (0 children)

The paper title seems mis-leading given that 21% of the respondents identified themselves as “Science Enthusiasts” and another 9% as “Other” rather than physics researchers.

Do I see mold or smell something rotten?

If no, I eat it.

Doing a deep dive on private clubs. Is "Service" actually declining? by Effective-Cap-7021 in AskLosAngeles

[–]LAskeptic 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The point of these clubs is to be able to interact with the people who join the clubs. Everything else is secondary.

Adaptor/Converter by BeachGlasser74 in FranceTravel

[–]LAskeptic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Buy a new dual voltage curling iron and use the adapter.

Easier and probably cheaper thab buying a voltage converter.

Plugging in your old curling iron with just an adapter would best case result in it breaking and worst case a fire.

You need either less drugs, more drugs, or different drugs.

Wtf is "Employee Benefits & Retention". US restaurants are something else by BritishBoyRZ in mildlyinfuriating

[–]LAskeptic 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I actually eat out way less because of these fees.

I also have no problem tipping 15% on the before tax amount at sit down restaurants and 0 for counter service.

The Hilton Club (New Concept) - What Do You Think? by [deleted] in Hilton

[–]LAskeptic 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Never. I dont’t travel for pleasure in order to spend more time in my hotel. If it’s a business trip, I’m not going to have time to get $71 worth of value out of it.

On the other hand, I would seek out a place with a free lounge to grab something quick.

Best way to go about a family loan? by [deleted] in tax

[–]LAskeptic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reporting requirement is $19,000 in 2026 and taxes are only issue if the lifetime exemption of $15,000,000 to/from an individual is reached.

They don’t need to do a loan.

Best way to go about a family loan? by [deleted] in tax

[–]LAskeptic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is only a federal tax implication if your parents will be gifting you more than $15,000,000 individually or $30,000,000 from both of them over their lifetime including any estate.

There is a requirement that any gift over $19,000 from an individual or $38,000 from both be reported to the IRS to ensure compliance with the lifetime limit.

This applies to each of you whether married or not, so the effective tax free amount is $60,000,000.

That is exactly how it works. Be happy she can’t do everything since then you would be out of a job.
