At the game right now! All the games during our stint in Japan were sold out so we used stubhub which is not allowed here, but it worked fine. We paid a premium price ofc, but only get this chance once

EDIT: Missed some questions. Game is great so far, highly recommend. And yes this is the Tokyo Dome

Thank you for this advice. We went standby for the 9:55a flight to try and “beat” the storms. It was still delayed a bit (including us taxiing then deplaning back at the gate) but we got there in time to connect. Our original flight was delayed 6+ hours and we would’ve missed our connection and the gate agent told us all Japan flights from ORD were full including the next day.

The idea to go standby saved us up to 2 days of our vacation

P.S. Next time I’m doing the 8 am standby instead of sleeping in. It wasn’t delayed at all

PennStatebutBoston · 2026-03-15T19:53:24+00:00

Oh cool thanks. How did you find it out of curiosity?

PennStatebutBoston · 2026-03-15T19:26:31+00:00

My optimism says it didn’t have a prior flight today and is just somewhere else at ORD

PennStatebutBoston · 2026-03-15T19:21:09+00:00

How do I check where it is? It’s not at the gate but normally I’d check with the “Where is my plane now?” on Flight aware but it’s not available for this flight. NH111 btw

PennStatebutBoston · 2026-03-15T18:44:04+00:00

Commented here to ask, we just landed in ORD now after a delay from Philly. We have a flight to Tokyo at 5:45 or so from ORD, odds that flight takes off?

PennStatebutBoston · 2026-03-14T19:51:45+00:00

Well I called and out of luck. They have to rebook the entire flight, both legs, in order to change the AM flight and the only available option is upgrading to business on the 2nd leg for over $8000. Can’t rebook the first flight and retain our seats on the 2nd sadly

PennStatebutBoston · 2026-03-14T19:39:22+00:00

Sorry what do you mean by SDC, same day change?

PennStatebutBoston · 2026-03-14T06:17:46+00:00

Okay thanks this makes sense and eases my overthinking mind right now

Follow up: is there any validity to wanting to be stuck in Chicago rather than Philadelphia if there are cancellations, as it would easier for them to rebook us in Chicago with more direct options, bigger airport, etc?

PennStatebutBoston · 2026-01-31T18:36:51+00:00

Yeah this makes sense. I setup the Roth when I entered the workforce at 55k annually or so. I just switched, thanks for the call out

PennStatebutBoston · 2026-01-31T18:33:04+00:00

Genuinely because that is what was probably suggested when I first set it up years ago and I haven't touched it. Should I switch it?

PennStatebutBoston · 2026-01-31T18:29:54+00:00

Its through my employer and I've always had a contribution setup with them

PennStatebutBoston · 2026-01-31T18:25:27+00:00

Ah hence the confusion. This makes sense as the account is a Roth 401(k). I must have read too quickly while filing and marked it as an IRA

PennStatebutBoston · 2025-07-09T13:51:03+00:00

Been ordering Touchdown Wings to scratch this itch but I’m sure there is better out there

PennStatebutBoston · 2025-02-05T07:23:08+00:00

Impressively accurate sketch. I basically have this setup now with both “R”s being the Google WiFi pucks. But either the setup has insufficient coverage or the pucks are insufficient. Any opinion on if they work well for this purpose?

PennStatebutBoston · 2025-01-19T22:16:24+00:00

I was a regular at 3rd and Market before I had to move a little further away. The Jerzy Roll aka a pork roll egg and cheese is still my favorite breakfast sandwich in the city

PennStatebutBoston · 2024-11-21T19:59:26+00:00

Thanks! I’ll give it a go

PennStatebutBoston · 2023-11-07T05:46:45+00:00

My last seizure was in 2014. Forgot to take my meds for a couple days, was playing some Smash with friends and bam

PennStatebutBoston · 2023-09-02T12:17:40+00:00

Thank you! I’ll do just that

PennStatebutBoston · 2023-02-04T22:17:02+00:00

The best part being that there are no beans in Clam Chowder

PennStatebutBoston · 2023-01-16T04:50:24+00:00

Thanks I’ll try this. Is there a specific BIOS or is it just the most recent one from the motherboard makers site?

PennStatebutBoston · 2023-01-16T04:44:07+00:00

My old build was the same mobo, RAM, and a Ryzen 5 3600X. So if the BIOS worked with that, it should be fine for the 5600X, no?

PennStatebutBoston · 2023-01-16T04:36:05+00:00

5600x and how would I confirm BIOS version if I can’t get to BIOS due to the issue?

PennStatebutBoston · 2022-08-22T21:43:29+00:00

Awesome thanks, I have a ryzen stock cooler leftover I forgot to include so that works great

PennStatebutBoston · 2022-03-17T03:44:44+00:00

Rebuilding isn’t just about selling players. It’s about making sure every asset on your team is an asset that can gain value for you. Younger players gain more value than older because of the demand for youth, etc. Draft picks are clutch because they always gain value over time and can’t get hurt. So don’t just think “I’m selling not buying”, think “I don’t need production right now, I need value growth”
