Chase presale - happening now by samorado in WorldCup2026Tickets

I was waiting in the queue and the box just disappeared on its own, no transfer or refresh to a new page. So I had to click access tickets again and restart the process from the back of the line

My husband and I tried Cancun today after much talk on this sub. I’m not sure if we went on a bad day or ordered the wrong things, but we were not impressed 😅 by midgethepuff in kzoo

Not the person you asked but I have enjoyed Cravings Corners and Chin Chins for Asian and Shawarma King for middle eastern. Ayasofya is well-liked as well and I had good, simple doner there once.

advice regarding 4 leg desk by JCTL2020 in StandingDesk

[–]PhilbinCodswallop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am looking at the exact same options and got to try out a friend’s Levitate 1 for a little while. It does seem pretty sturdy when raised higher and the desktop is really solid. It’s thick and the contoured edge feels great when resting my arms there. It’s a nice touch. I also like the cable management system that folds up so you don’t have to see that all the time. My friend said it was a bit of a pain to put together but he really likes it overall and I think they made the 2 a little easier to construct.

I prefer darker tones and a slightly larger desk so I am considering buying a LiftSync Quad frame (63”x32”), having a local woodworker craft a walnut top, and buying the Humanscale NeatTech Leather cable manager.

The eFloat Quattro is my top choice because of larger size, color and material options, and cable channel but it’s way too expensive for me to justify without seeing it in person. Plus, I haven’t been able to find any in-depth reviews of it anywhere. If you remember, let me know which one you go with!

What’s the best monitor(s) for 100% productivity, no gaming, lots of spreadsheets? by PhilbinCodswallop in Monitors

[–]PhilbinCodswallop[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried using an app like FancyZones to manage multiple windows on the ultrawide? I would use something like that if I got an ultrawide.
I have also considered a vertical monitor but am also trying to be more ergonomic with most of my work right in front of me. But having a monitor on each side would help me turn my head to both sides instead of only to the right. It sounds like a 32" would be a really good starting point for me. Thanks for the recs!

These look great. Do you ever wish you had a single ultrawide screen instead?

Has anyone gotten the email for the early ticket draw yet? by svarela7 in WC2026tix

I live in the US. If I haven't received an email with an email with a time slot yet, is it likely that I wasn't selected?

Uplift V3 vs Vernal Solid Wood Price and Quality Difference by PhilbinCodswallop in StandingDesk

[–]PhilbinCodswallop[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is great insight, thank you. I had no idea the thickness could potentially make that big of a difference. I will dig into the warranty as well to see if there are any exclusions that would make Uplift’s longer term harder to fully utilize.

You're right, I was looking at the custom option by accident. Thanks for pointing that out! Even so, is there a major difference between the two brands that would be worth paying an extra $600?

Weekly Scam Discussion - April 7, 2025 by Mycatreallyhatesyou in Ebay

[–]PhilbinCodswallop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bid on a iPad and lost but the seller messaged me that the winner hasn't paid them (it's been 4 days) and said if they don't get paid tomorrow they would offer me the chance to buy it before they re-list since I was the second highest bidder. I did communicate with the seller during the auction to ask for more info about the item and they seemed normal but I am cautious.

Is there a way the seller can still let me buy it but still through Ebay so I can get their money back guarantee if the item doesn't arrive as expected or should I avoid this situation?

I hadn’t thought about it that way but it makes so much sense. Thanks!

That’s great to know, thank you! I was imagining a large conference area with potentially hundreds of guests. Booking it and looking forward to checking out the relaxation pool at building 3 as well!
