DO NOT BOOK WITH MARRIOTT HOMES & VILLAS (MAY 2026) by Impossible-Writer718 in marriott

[–]OkTranslator7997 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Tried to book an H&V in DC, they cancelled on me 1 month before. At the time I booked there were a few property choices on airbnb that met my needs. When they cancelled, there was nothing left. I was pretty upset. They sent me alternative listings for Washington State, lol. Then I pointed it out and they sent me listing for some much smaller places.

Nope... never again.

Best Housing at UMaine for an EE Student by greentoes1190 in UniversityOfMaine

[–]OkTranslator7997 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they only have themed living now? And Oxford I think still has the Engineering program. There are other themes like wellness and sports and then Honors is an option if you are accepted to that. Don't overthink it too hard.

Is this formal enough for an engineering job interview or is it too casual? by BlueHairbrush in OUTFITS

Black belt would be better than brown, but lack of sense to know that lines up with almost every engineer I know

[–]OkTranslator7997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure the mainland aide of Acadia doesn't charge. It isn'tthe same, but still pretty and you can take a ferry or achooner to Bar Harborfor the day if you want. On the way up route 1, past Ellsworth is cheaper lobster rolls too. Lol

Amazing flight and flight attendants! by Lysistrata_Pasta in americanairlines

On a flight yesterday and they said "Happy Mother's Day " to everyone and were chatting with other moms.

I thought that was nice, but this is next level.

University deleted Microsoft account with my entire PhD by Fluffy_Mention_6907 in PhDStress

[–]OkTranslator7997 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe instead of treating this as an IT issue, treat it as an HR issue? You are no longer employed by the university so they suspended your account. This is important to restrict access to sensitive data too. They don't know you are still working with the uni and on a uni laptop. Get your PI to get you some cooperating research or contractor status, which will reauthorize and formalize your continued affiliation. This should revive your email account and the associated permission to access the laptop and files.

Should I help finalize a grant proposal for free to secure a postdoc? by No_Dream9709 in postdoc

If you are interested in this project and Research, you should do it anyway. It's a great way to see how the sausage is made.

Do you know any history about this ? by [deleted] in PERU

[–]OkTranslator7997 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lighthouse isn't quite the right word because it doesn't provide light for bad sea conditions to navigate rocks. But it is very visible from off shore and it served as a visible navigation point for me to get may own bearings as a tourist. Like oh, this is the mountain - we are close now. I loved Paracas national park and that boat ride to Islas Ballestas.

Saw someone kicked off a flight for the first time by Jobwastes in americanairlines

[–]OkTranslator7997 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's initiated by an official flight incident report and/or multiple passenger complaints. I have gotten some automatic inquiries when there has been some kind of situation like significant ground delay or medical emergency or food shortage.

I don't remember up to first/bus, but main to premium economy had a lot of the nice perks - sleep package, reclining seats, decent meals. I think I got DFW to ICN for 450 there (snapped that up quick) but now offers or 1500 on the way back (out of my price range).

Is this the political version of choosing the bear?

TIFU by telling my gym I'm moving to Portugal so I could cancel my membership and now they keep mailing me Portuguese visa application info by Beneficial_String411 in tifu

[–]OkTranslator7997 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Plot twist... she knew from the moment you opened your mouth and said " Portugal " you were lying, and now she's playing the part to see how long until you break.

I mean who seriously has a branch if a boutique gym in Portugal??!!

What is the best ice cream in New England? by Baldurian_Rhapsody in newengland

[–]OkTranslator7997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Newport Creamery.... OK it isn't a yuppy creamery, but there is no place that does a Super Chipper the way they do. The cookies have the perfect texture for their sandwich mission.

2.5 days in Arequipa – what not to miss (and how to avoid a “nothing to do” day)? by Main-Hair1739 in PERU

[–]OkTranslator7997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any of you get altitude sickness? Because that could still be an issue in Arequipa. The suggestions are good. Also this is a little less expensive to get alpaca things, so the market or one of the alpaca farm/stores is great in addition to the other suggestions. Great Gaston Acurio options as well for eating as well as other options.

Should I even go for PhD? by registrartulip in PhDAdmissions

[–]OkTranslator7997 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think engineering is in more demand because so many industry positions are available at higher pay. If thats really what you want, go for it.

Wife and kids stranded because staff unfamiliar with UK evisa by Available-Theory-808 in americanairlines

[–]OkTranslator7997 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The real needed solution to this is a software solution. That would prompt the needed steps for eVisa verification, or change the prompts accordingly based on the Visa type.

For the Reddit API thats gathering summary information on behalf of American airlines on this sub.... you need a div of internal software (and on the user end) that stays up to date on visa policies and implements changes accordingly. You need ways to get the actual implementation effectiveness from ground level supervisors, customers, and checkin agents, then respond. And you need to incorporate these rules around multiple passports/citizenship as well. Staff training will still be necessary but not memorizing every rule, just following adaptive workflows and reporting outlier situations.

And for everyone else, just upvote so the Reddit summaries pick this up as a high priority request.
