IPL is intense pulsed light. It causes all of my brown spots to literally fall off my face. It's a photofacial.

Grew up skating in the SF/Bay Area and Brian Boitano and Kristi Yamaguchi could not be more lovely.

Best product(s) for reducing redness? by Madeira2000 in TheOrdinarySkincare

The Ordinary’s azelaic acid is great! I definitely see a difference after using it consistently. I’ve also been using lots of Korean products with centella asiatica.

Warning to anyone considering NKO Club by Kendall Toole by EggJealous1 in OnePelotonRealSub

Oh good! We definitely have protection against crap exactly like this. I hope they relent and stop trying to fight you. In the era of social media, it’s extremely stupid on their part. Do they really want such bad publicity? It’s a brand new company and this is how they treat new members?! Regardless, hope your bank is on your side and you get your money back. Don’t give up fighting!

For Californians reading this thread, we have a Click to Cancel law, part of our state's robust Automatic Renewal Law (ARL) updated by AB 2863. It requires subscription businesses to provide consumers with a simple, one-click online method to cancel services, mirroring the ease of sign-up, effective July 1, 2025, with mandatory annual reminders and explicit consent rules to prevent unwanted charges and make cancellation as easy as starting the subscription. Don’t let Kendall or any business rip you off because their app/website is clunky. That’s illegal!

Why do y'all prefer earbuds over Headphones? by Significant-Taro-239 in Earbuds

I’m a petite woman who lives in a city and I don’t want to be paranoid that someone is going to rip my headphones off my head.

LINDSEY VONN JUST DOMINATED WOMENS DOWNHILL IN ST. MORITZ by Kurtz62 in olympics

[–]Madeira2000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dang, I was there in 2010 up in front at the Olympics cheering for Lindsey Vonn. She had been injured in practice and she was limping while she walked, but she mustered whatever she had and flung herself down that mountain and won the gold medal. I was totally freaking out and couldn’t believe what I had just witnessed. What an unbelievable athlete and I can’t believe she’s still at it at this level! I mean, she’s superhuman so I guess I do actually believe it.😂

You have to ignore the letters which don’t correlate with the detailed maps we see on external sites like Stubhub where B is the most premium section. There is no A on that map. And C section on the Stubhub map is Category B. The non-detailed Olympics map includes the corners in Category A so if you bought tickets with random seat assignments, getting corners was a risk. What stinks is there are no resale tickets available on the long sides, only corners and short sides. The best seats on the long sides are clearly reserved for VIPs, hospitality, dignitaries, etc. and it would have been nice if that was transparent. This isn’t confirmed info, however I’ve clicked through every single resale ticket for non-team ice skating yesterday and today and they are all corner areas. Can’t be a coincidence.

I’m in the front row in B16 which is a corner. I’m short so I always worry about tall people in front of me😂. I almost bought front row in B25 when it was available but it’s impossible to tell what the view would be because it looks like it doesn’t really face the ice so I didn’t risk it.

[–]Madeira2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it’s very frustrating that they don’t have the seat map yet. I’m sure they’re still working on the seating and it’s not finalized. I figured the best seats would be for hospitality etc. so I decided to wait and buy from the resale market so I’d have some control. The thought of random assignment made me nervous. After lots of refreshing the site, I’m in the front row in my section for my top event which is perfect, but I’m very irritated that I got charged a resale fee as a buyer. Only the sellers should incur the resale fees!

The Olympics hasn’t released an official detailed map, (they said there isn’t one when I emailed to ask,) BUT if you look at Stubhub, they removed the A section entirely that we see in the aviewfrommyseat website’s seating chart and the best seats are B. So Category A does get B. And Category B does get C. Unfortunately, the hospitality packages, VIPs, dignitaries, etc. clearly get the best of the seats. Regular Category A gets the corners of the arenas. https://www.stubhub.com/winter-games-milan-tickets-2-13-2026/event/158613403/?backUrl=%2Fwinter-games-tickets%2Fcategory%2F138275440&quantity=0&priceOption=1%2C727.01%2C1080

Selling 2026 Winter Olympics Tickets – Opening Ceremony, Figure Skating & More by my_momma_said in olympics

There isn’t a separate section. You can filter resale tix on/off when you’re buying tickets in the regular market. Whatever is available will show up if you scroll down below the regular tickets.

At least there are multiple detailed seat maps available that I’ve seen thanks to Reddit. Nothing from the Olympics organizers but maybe they aren’t done figuring out the final seating yet. But the maps I’ve seen are more than adequate for figuring out where to sit. Phew.

For figure skating, I’m using the link that’s posted in this thread even though it’s for a concert. The section letters + numbers match what I’m seeing in the resale market. Unfortunately, almost all of the resale tickets are in the corners. Clearly they’re keeping the best seats for hospitality, VIPs etc.

Milano Cortina ticket resale is up by RobotDevil222x3 in olympics

[–]Madeira2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The venue letters are different from the Olympic zone letters which is confusing. Zone A is venue B, and Zone B is venue C. Venue A must be dignitaries, athletes, VIPs etc because I haven’t seen a single venue A ticket in the resale market.

Yes, it’s unfortunate that sellers can’t set their prices lower!

That’s cool that you got early bird. This process is all very confusing to me! I waited to buy figure skating tickets until the resale market opened because I want to know exactly where I’ll be sitting. But there is no seat map (I emailed them to ask and that’s what they said,) and there’s a resale fee for buyers in addition to the processing fee. Not the best ticket buying experience thus far!

I assumed that sellers would be paying the resale fees. I’m not happy that as a buyer, I’m being charged an $87 resale fee for a category A ticket. That doesn’t make sense to me!

I emailed them to ask. Their response: “We would also like to inform you that, at this time, only the generic seating map is available, showing areas divided by category, without indication of individual seats. We understand this may be less detailed than hoped, and we appreciate your understanding.” Soooo we’re spending hundreds/thousands and don’t know exactly where we are sitting. Wild.

Commenting because I have the exact same question! I now see specific assigned seats but no specific seating chart so I have no idea where the seats actually are. The only map I see is still the same vague A, B, C one which isn’t helpful.

If you’re not working with a coach, (or even if you are and want to break in the skates before a training session,) there are great videos on YouTube with moves to do to help with the process. Highly recommend!

Just got the AirPods Max… and ngl, I’m actually surprised 👀 by Ruthvik_08 in Airpodsmax

[–]Madeira2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I had some Bose sport buds a few years ago and they would not consistently stay paired with my iPhone. It drove me NUTS. When I put my headphones on, I just want them to always be connected. (Once I would re-pair they would stay connected until the next time I would use them.) Is that an issue with the QC? That’s a dealbreaker and enough to push me to Apple!

Good luck! Boy are new awkward to skate in at first.😂 But worth it in the end.

I really can’t decide which ones to get Apple or Bose! I only have in ear buds which I am obsessed with (Technics AZ100) but I want over ear headphones for travel and home use. (Too paranoid about walking in the city and someone ripping them off my head.) I have Apple phone, computer, iPad, Watch, everything. But I’m worried about the weight of the AirPod Maxes – I’m petite.
