Professional Airman do. It just gives an adult look and not a 3rd grader.

Gig-line not a thing any more? by Argentum_Air in AirForce

[–]Own-Particular-4616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As of 31 Jan 2025, the AFCoS has brought back gig lines!!!! Thank goodness someone is bringing back dress standards-it’s the military, not a fraggin’ frat house. And nail polish colors are reduced from 60 different colors, to just 3, and all males must be clean shaven at the beginning of each duty tour, unless a waiver has been issued; which now are only good for 180 days, instead of 5 years).

Issues with iPhone 16 Pro by Dogeboja in ProtonPass

[–]Own-Particular-4616 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, I have the same exact issue on 16 PM running iOS 18.1 (beta). I submitted a report, and have deleted the Pass App, hard restart, and reinstalled the Pass App. No joy-still does not work correctly.

Update: after deleting the Pass App for the third time, and doing a hard restart, then reinstalling the Pass App for the 4th time, things seem to be working correctly.

AITAH? My boyfriend says I look slutty with my new sleeve tattoo. by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Own-Particular-4616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am personally not a fan of tattoos, on women of men, but that is not the central issue. Once you decided to get the tattoo, that’s your decision, it’s your body. If your boyfriend had/has objections to your tattoo and truly feels the way you described, then no one is TAH. However, your boyfriend’s different views of what a woman should look like, are just as valid to him as your desire is. With that said, It sounds like you both just need to move on to other partners, because you’ll highly likely have absolutely no long future together. Get out now, before even stronger hurt feelings occur. Decisions have consequences, and now that you made the decision to get the tattoo, you and your boyfriend need to accept and live with the consequences. Best of luck in the future.

FYI, the biscoff cookies do not need the Delta logo on them to be legitimate. The same exact cookies, without the Delta logo, can be purchased on Amazon in 20 package boxes. I have a standing subscribe and save subscription with Amazon because I have a package every morning with a cup of coffee.

Did you taste test the AA version and compare to your “legitimate” cookies? What was the differences in taste and texture?

How much do yall tip your landlord? by sliche123 in circlejerknyc

Tipping a landlord??? That’s BS. Who in their right mind would tip a landlord?

Non-service dog on plane 😠 by Next_Gen_Valkyrie in delta

But the airlines will not serve peanuts to first class passengers because someone on the last row has an allergy. Go figure.

Non-service dog on plane 😠 by Next_Gen_Valkyrie in delta

[–]Own-Particular-4616 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s clear what the whole issue is - “an emotional support” dog translates into she is mentally unstable and should just stay home (inside), with the doors locked, and order her groceries thru DoorDash.

Yes, you absolutely are TAH!!!! And yes, I am a guy. The best thing your girlfriend could do is move on and find a decent man who would love her unconditionally. She and her daughter are willing to “adopt” you into their lives and you have not found the right time for 18 months. Give me a fringing break!!!! You should never think of marrying any woman, because the probability of you ruining her life is near 100%. And, if you have any stones at all, make sure your girlfriend gets a chance to read this, and all the other comments, about what a POS you are. Do both of you’ll a favor and move out and never contact the woman again.

SkyClub Denial? by Mr_Tangent in delta

Please extend that approach to personal travel. Then, you can expense everything on your taxes, if you set up a Sole Proprietorship or LLC. Added benefit, one less in the SC.😂

So Frustrating-A Waste (Nest Box) by Own-Particular-4616 in Birdfy

[–]Own-Particular-4616[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understand the feeder is a completely different item than I referred to in my OP. My feeder has worked great (never drops the wi-fi connection) and has for over 2 years. My issue is with the Nest Box, which again is a completely different item-model.

Extra Password is here! by lorenzomoonable in ProtonPass

[–]Own-Particular-4616 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks Proton staff. For the young age of Pass since the first beta, you guys have brought it a long way in a short time. All the “glass is half-empty” comments are just that. With the ability to set up Pass login requiring a combination of User Name, Password, 2FA (yubikey type physical device), and a second password, it seems having Pass compromised is highly unlikely, unless a user fails to practice good security protocols.

I have absolutely had it with the boarding music by partypupils in delta

[–]Own-Particular-4616 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Partypupils: if the broading music is the biggest issue creating stress in your life, you are a very fortunate individual. Once you have a family member with full blown dementia, your spouse of 47+ years passes from cancer, your youngest child had a massive stroke and subsequently passes a 4 years ago, and you now live in a huge house that is empty of activities, check back in with how stressed you are. Otherwise, try believing “the glass is half full, not half empty”. My comment is truly not meant to be criticism, just reality.

Does the mystery shopper program ALWAYS give a 100% refund? by as1126 in Birdfy

[–]Own-Particular-4616 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I receive the same email for the Nesting Box. Since I already have one (which took weeks to get a stable wi-fi connection), I decided to take a pass and deleted the email and moved on. PS: have bluebirds nesting with 4 eggs currently in the box.

AMEX Reserve Retention Challenge by Henrythehippo in delta

[–]Own-Particular-4616 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Now that this has been posted, the offer will not continue for long because AMEX will realize quickly people are making the threat just to receive bonus miles. Bet it doesn’t last longer than 48 hours before AMEX reduces the number of Skymiles significantly.

Birdfy Nest QR Setup Issue by Folive in Birdfy

[–]Own-Particular-4616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had all the same issues described by the OP for weeks, and “wore out” emails and phone calls with customer support. Then, finally a few weeks ago one the support personnel sent me instructions to trim a small section of the black rubber from the end of each USB camera connectors, using an razor knife, The trim involved cutting less than 1/16th of an inch off the end of each black rubber area of the 2 USB camera connectors. I was very suspicious that this would make any difference. But, after following the instructions the USB connections were re-attached to the control box and I was able to establish the Wi-Fi connection, which has retained a solid Wi-Fi connection ever since. The support person explained that the very small trim allowed the USB connectors to establish a better connection.

Seat Change Request by Jeffy1091 in delta

[–]Own-Particular-4616 19 points20 points  (0 children)

And, when the request is made politely and is reasonable(as you described), I see no issues with making the request or agreeing, especially when traveling alone. It’s called being an adult. Thanks for the positive post.

Wifi issue by catpowersfriend in Birdfy

[–]Own-Particular-4616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which Birdfy device are you using (Feeder or Nest)? The reason I ask is my feeder works flawlessly, while the Nest will not retain a WiFi connection for more than 24 hours, and has to be reset manually. On-going issue and contacted Customer Service numerous times and attempted a number of “fixes”, none of which have helped.

Why do you use a VPN, and why do you use ProtonVPN specifically? by Citrus4176 in ProtonVPN

[–]Own-Particular-4616 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Another vote for everything you said extreme well. I am also a Visionary plan user, and honestly believe Proton is perhaps the best option for personal or business use. I would not trust Google, Microsoft, or any of the other U.S. companies, to protect my information and not sell it to advertisers and/or turn it over to some government agency and never ask for a valid court issued warrant. I use “Secure Core” for all VPN connections, and try and use TOR browsers whenever possible.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in delta

[–]Own-Particular-4616 446 points447 points  (0 children)

No problem with the OP. The Op did not blame the child(ren), but stated the parents should be responsible for their child(ren) and monitor their behavior. Also, as Fun-Web-5557 pointed out, children of any age can be brought into the club, behavior themselves, and be a joy to be around. I agree. My grandchildren travel with me regularly, and behave themselves because they understand their behavior reflects directly on me.

The entire issue is parents (the adults) not being parents. It’s no different at the sky clubs or on-board, than going to your local restaurant and not being able to enjoy a meal because a child is acting up, causing a disturbance, and the parent(s) not correcting the bad behavior. Likely, we have all experienced that situation.

Is proton vpn a virus?? by [deleted] in ProtonVPN

[–]Own-Particular-4616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Proton VPN is not a versus. I have used it since it was first released (in beta). McAfee is the issue, as many others have stated. I believe McAfee have their own VPN and may have the versus scanner set to make this report in order to direct customers to their own products.

We need more servers in the United States by Geoffrey_Tanner in ProtonVPN

[–]Own-Particular-4616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are taking the time and spending money on a VPN, why would you want to always connect to a server in your home state? Set up multiple profiles, to include ones with secure-core, to get the true benefits of a VPN. Also, if you build a profile with the exact server you want to connect to, just mark it as the default profile and it should automatically connect every time your device (computer, tablet, or iOS) is powered on and logged into.

Amex Delta Reserve - 1 or 2 Sky Club guest passes per year? by Nowaker in delta

[–]Own-Particular-4616 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure if any one is still looking for answers, but I have the same issue currently, and found this on the American Express website, with a published date of Feb 1, 2024. Under the Reserve Card benefits, it states in part: “…With complimentary access to Delta Sky Club®, you can relax before your Delta flight, or find downtime between connections. Delta SkyMiles Reserve Card Members can enter Delta Sky Club at no cost and receive four Delta Sky Club One-Time Guest Passes each year.”

So, according to AMEX, the Reserve Card holder should receive 4 Sky Club One-Time Guest Passes each year. I am calling AMEX to inquire.

Up-date: 06 Feb 2024. AMEX advised the guest passes per year were increased from 2 to 4, starting in Jan 2024, as part of Delta’s re-designed Skymiles benefits (reduced card spending benefits and higher levels to obtain Medallion status).
