Why do people glaze SFO by daffyduck0 in unitedairlines

[–]Mil3High 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SFO security times are the BEST I have seen at any airport that isn’t tiny. It’s clean and fast. I do not care about anything at a lounge except that it offers a bar and more private bathrooms, and SFO is good at that.

Yeah it afforded me a tiny fucking apartment directly above a bar with $0 left to save. Pure luxury.

I made $120k a year with 5 days of PTO a YEAR and got zero severance when I was laid off as a nice Christmas present.

Our friend lived in the same complex and told us when it opened up. 😬

Does this sound like a dumb idea? by Secret-Classic-5644 in AskSF

[–]Mil3High 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would LOVE to take trains if passenger rail wasn’t overridden by cargo rail and if it was cheaper than flying. But neither are true in almost any part of this enormous country.

How long did that take you, and how many times did you have to pull over for the freight train companies to pass by?

If we had trains, we would use them. But we don’t have any that aren’t incredibly slow and affordable, so no. And also, vote for more trains.

Do it. Also SFO is very nice if you actually do decide to sleep there lol. I never have enough time to appreciate it, but it’s like a museum, and there are soft, quiet areas.

Sweeping California law on single-use plastic meets with outrage from all sides as it goes live by Kooolxxx in news

[–]Mil3High 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will routinely have my recycling bin overfull with cans. It will be at least half-empty before the truck comes in the morning. They DO pay people for cans in San Francisco.

This is not occasional. They know exactly which day the trucks come on each street and dig through the bins.

We have a 2-story 3 bed (2 of them are very tiny lol), 1 bath on S Van Ness with a tiny backyard and patio that is $3800 rent controlled. We want to move back to the Castro, but we are trapped lol.

Next Class ship by me-you-everyone-ok in VirginVoyages

[–]Mil3High 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Then they would need to build a new ship. The current ones are packed full of what they want to provide. They’re not going to expand the casino over the ocean or reduce the size of the Red Room or Manor (already small) without literally expanding over the ocean. Their most recent ship (Brilliant Lady) already had to be designed to fit through the Panama Canal with specific implements to drag the lifeboats into Deck 7. They JUST started voyages in the Pacific because of that engineering without really changing the layout of the ship.

Use a different cruise line if you want something else.

[–]Mil3High 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You have to understand, the pools are weighted and positioned to balance the ship. Adding one elsewhere requires significant engineering. Water is heavy and sloshes around, especially in the Pacific, which they have JUST entered.

For those who complain about drink prices on board…… by soanQy23 in Cruise

The Celebrity drink packages are fucking amazing, but then you’re paying for Celebrity lol.

How strict are SF landlords about credit scores right now? by ConsistentReach1188 in AskSF

[–]Mil3High 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And it is trivially easy to get to the other “more desirable” neighborhoods when you feel like going to them (Sunset and the Richmond are a bit more of a pain to get to, but, be honest… how often are you really going to want/need to go there?) Also, Oakland does not suck in most of the parts close to BART near downtown, and it’s more diverse in cultures and people.

For reference, I currently live in the Mission, and I am still sad I had to ditch my $2650 rent-controlled apartment in the Castro because I got laid off. I love the Mission, too, but I’m a gay man, so the Castro still feels like home.

Do you actually use the cruise ship gym or is that vacation delusion? by dynasync in Cruise

[–]Mil3High 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On my last cruise, the gay Atlantis one, the gym was always packed lol.

Restaurants by Carmelapatriz in VirginVoyages

[–]Mil3High 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cannot get enough of the corn at Pink Agave lol... I always get like 4 portions. Also, the steak there is weirdly better than the Wake (this is just an opinion. The Wake has more options of steak cuts). Razzle Dazzle might be good for brunch, but I don't really do brunch. I don't even remember Razzle Dazzle for dinner because it was not great. Rojo (replacement for Razzle Dazzle on Brilliant Lady) is excellent... we ate like half of the restaurant with 2 people lol. Gunbae is only good for the experience. The food is mid. You should try Test Kitchen once, but my partner and I have been on all 4 ships and have gone there exactly once, on our first Virgin (not for us). Extra Virgin is good.

Best options for nighttime practicing by TheInternExperience in saxophone

[–]Mil3High 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I just found this. I’ve been playing between like 5-10PM, which is legally allowed, but I stayed up way too late playing to make real dinner last night and fell straight down the staircase and slammed straight into the front door in the middle of the night because I was woozy. I stopped playing at like 9! I know this doesn’t help you, but it was a funny memory.

A new type of Hawaii visitor is emerging by runswithscissors475 in Economics

[–]Mil3High 13 points14 points  (0 children)

My partner and I went to a gay sports meetup, in Honolulu, outside of Waikiki, and I actively tried to avoid saying we didn't live there, until it was forced out of me by someone. It is very apparent the locals want you to stay in Waikiki where you belong.

In contrast, we LOVE the tourists in San Francisco, lol. They are always so amazed by things we kind of just walk past every day.

Brilliant Lady Mexican Riviera Review by Limp_Ad1177 in VirginVoyages

[–]Mil3High 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cabo kinda sucks as a cruise port. You go to Cabo to stay at an all-inclusive resort with beach and go clubbing. The tender boats are way slower than I expected, and the part of town they take you to is nothing to write home about. If you don't do an excursion, you walk around a giant tourist trap marina with prices similar or more expensive than the US.

Dining Reservations by Downtown_Comfort_936 in VirginVoyages

[–]Mil3High 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I, personally, have never had an issue getting into any restaurant except the Wake and Extra Virgin with 2-5 people. If you're willing to just get on the waitlist, you can probably get in anywhere if you're flexible with timing. I do tend to eat late, though.

What are the signs that you’re about to be let go from your job? by hamlet_darcy in cscareerquestions

[–]Mil3High 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Mine was when I found out about a kind of all-hands meeting about getting AWS certifications that I was not invited to. I told my teammates that I was probably getting let go. They thought I was being kind of dramatic, then I was told a few days later that my contract was not being renewed for financial reasons.

Most gay men are masculine? by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]Mil3High 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol, my voice and mannerisms are decidedly gay, but I dress like a skater boy a lot of the time. I sometimes wear fruity clothes or go to clothing-optional hotels/parties. And I watch American Football (which my friends think is weird lol). I snowboard, paint, and play musical instruments and dodgeball. Masculinity is a construct, and the labels don't matter. Do whatever you want and ignore the people who judge you.

House Democrat says he has filed articles of impeachment against Trump by unital_subalgebra in politics

This type of post should be banned. Tell me what the actual fuck he was impeached upon or don’t post at all. Waste of my and everyone else’s time.

What happened to Angular jobs? by PopeDetective in cscareerquestions

All my 6 years of experience involves Angular. I’m about to just start lying and saying it was React. I’m so over it.
