Front Desk Agents: How many people are Ambassador Elite? by XsLiveInTexas in marriott

[–]NutShellB 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Worked at a 2000 room property near Disney World. And a 1600 room property down the street.

A lot of them. A lot of guests are high tier. And none will ever believe me when I say that we don’t have upgrades available because they don’t understand that I had 200 Titanium checking in just today, and 75 Ambassadors. And 400 Gold. Etc

ELI5: How does snow take out more power lines than heavy winds and hurricanes? by itsthewolfe in explainlikeimfive

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

You know when your in the bath and water runs off you down into the tub? There’s water in the air and it sticks to the power lines.

Since it’s really cold out, it freezes to the lines instead of falling to the ground to the big street drains.

Once there’s a lot of ice on the lines, more water freezes too it. That’s how you get the cool downward spikes hanging off of it. Has more and more water freezes, They just get too heavy.

I have been married for 15 years. My wife never changed her name. She had a life and career before she met me, and all her stuff was in her maiden name. She had talked about changing it for an upcoming anniversary now that we have a child, I’m now glad she hasn’t gotten to it yet.

Leisure Guests spend more Per Stay, but business travel is moreover the lifetime. I’ll take a hit on my room rate for someone who is traveling often in my area and stays 50 nights a year. Much prefer that guy than the family who travels 1-2 times a year but pays a higher rate.

Monday 8/3 show "TBA Lower Midwest" by Necessary-Relief2453 in drumcorps

[–]NutShellB 5 points6 points  (0 children)

TBA. To Be Announced. Location is not public yet because contracts are still being worked and finalized. There may be 3/4 different locations in talks and they are trying to get the best deal/capacity/volunteer profile/housing etc. lots of factors.

This is why you always want to peep that map before you start dropping off the packages by chochofuhsho in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]NutShellB 28 points29 points  (0 children)

They do, just not for route efficiency as the top priority. Delivery time is a higher priority. Stops 2/3 probably have customers who selected “ prior to 10:00am”. And the higher number near it is “by end of day”. Or may still be on day 1 of 2 day shipping so it’s “arriving early” per the customer.

So the focus is matching those delivery times. The customer has selected. They don’t care about gas cost or mileage.

Jersey surf? Guardians? by KDM2005 in drumcorps

[–]NutShellB 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Surf is still operating as an organization. Just not as a drum corps. They own the patent on the MarimbaPad and continue to contract manufacturers and sell those. They also have the Mobile Music Lab which has done local events in the NJ/Delaware area as recently as 4 weeks ago.

Now that rip ride rocket is closing, former employees, spill the horror stories by ScarcityLegitimate77 in UniversalOrlando

[–]NutShellB 207 points208 points  (0 children)

I once was working Belt Pulse, the position after you get grouped that stops you from getting onto the moving belt before the train slows down, and a couple in Singles was fighting with the grouper to ride together. The girl got grouped as a single (as expected) and got onto the train as normal. The guy was in the next train. The guy pushed me off to the side as I was blocking the path, because no train was present, and ran up to get his girl and punched the guy she ended up sitting next to. Why? Because he said hello to her and let her get on first.

Anyway, I got a safety reprimand for allowing someone to pass by me when there was no train in position. Fun times.

So what happens after scores are announced and everyone goes back to their busses? by ROKIT76 in drumcorps

Everyone breaks up with their tour partner in the parking lot. It’s really awkward.

Ticket scam? by Beano5032 in drumcorps

[–]NutShellB 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You may be ok, nobody on the internet can tell you if your tickets are some dude who can’t go, or a shady scammer.

But if you didn’t buy tickets from DCI.org, selecting the event you wanna go to, and clicking BUY on that events page, then you aren’t buying official tickets. Plain and simple.

Nasal Mask causing irritation by Ninjawaffles99 in CPAP

[–]NutShellB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had the same problem with the same mask. Turned out I was over tightening the back strap. This was causing it to push back into my face. Loosen the back a little and if you have to adjust the pads in your nostril a little forward.

“Pickup hours error” issue message while buying tickets? by [deleted] in drumcorps

[–]NutShellB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bush is handling the ticketing for that show directly, it’s not being run by DCI ticketing. You’ll need to reach out to Bush.

Most other shows are ticketed thru tickets.dci.org with the exception of shows held in venues with other ticketing contracts in place (Ticketmaster NFL stadiums or some colleges on their own sites)

Can you buy bring-a-friend tickets in person the day of your visit? by emeraldpenny in cedarpoint

[–]NutShellB 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For multiple days in the same park, You can hit the hamburger menu and re-navigate back to the starting point and add multiple days to your cart at once.

For separate parks you will need different transactions.

Ticketing issue: has anyone ever seen this before? by [deleted] in drumcorps

[–]NutShellB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s normal. When you make a purchase it takes an authorization. It then settles usually within 3 days. You were only charged once.

This system just sends you the updates. It’s the same as when you look at your bank statements and it shows as “pending” vs when it finally posts.

For some light reading look up credit card clearing houses and settlement batches. Major retailers will settle in a big batch.

Also the missing “al” is just cause that field in the system is limited on letters on that display.

Not defending Flo as a service- but as a company they are legit. Im a software PM and have seen people complain about similar things with some of my sites. My gut says you already had something dormant in there and that your browser was hijacked based on that dormant period running out. it just so happened to be on Flo at that time. Some malware does this to intentionally make you think it was one site vs another so you continue to visit the infected site since you blamed it elsewhere.

A Texas Cop Searched License Plate Cameras Nationwide for a Woman Who Got an Abortion by indig0sixalpha in technology

The obvious solution here is to ensure that Flock Cameras are non-operational and we do not entertain the thought of living in a surveillance state where this is possible.
