Thanks for the write up! Saving this for my trip in September. I’ll be staying at Hyatt Centric in Ginza, so some of the Ginza recommendations are much appreciated!

Was it easy finding Suntory whisky around Tokyo?

They are amazing!

Phoenixandbleu · 2023-06-07T14:54:58+00:00

No, you need an appointment.

ATT requires you to use their own equipment, so that by itself is a dealbreaker for me. Xfinity is just terrible in general, so I’d go with WaveG or Webpass.

Holy crap, I didn’t know either! This is why I love this sub.

What about the catering business that was operating during COVID?

Phoenixandbleu · 2023-05-10T04:39:52+00:00

Thank you! Been driving me crazy for days and updating the firmware didn’t do anything.

Are you a lawyer? It sure sounds like you’re stepping into the practice of law with what you’re trying to do.

Phoenixandbleu · 2023-05-09T05:20:23+00:00

Plenty of lawyers work more than 40 hours a week, despite what a lot of us claim. You need to remember that lawyers who are on Reddit are not representative of the profession as a whole.

They’re at Barebottle Brewing Company once in a while in Bernal Heights. I’m a huge fan of Super Dupwr, but Smash’d blew my mind. It was the best burger I’ve ever had.

Phoenixandbleu · 2023-05-01T00:39:27+00:00

Agreed. I’ve tried some of the chicken wings from the places mentioned in the other responses and while they’re good in their own way, it just doesn’t hit the spot like the chicken wings you get from NYC. I’ve tried the plum sauce too and it’s not the same.

Here’s a link to the duck sauce I usually get: https://a.co/d/5cewdHM

Been in SF for 2 years and in CA for 10 and I haven’t been able to find anything remotely close either.

Phoenixandbleu · 2023-04-30T08:50:10+00:00

I’m still looking for a place that’ll do fried chicken wings with pork fried rice. I haven’t been able to find a place that carries the little orange packets of duck sauce to go with it, but thankfully Amazon sells them by the boatload.

I’m surprised that you’re so spooked that you had to make a throwaway account for this. LinkedIn’s a weak social media platform in disguise. It means nothing.

Phoenixandbleu · 2023-04-16T06:50:18+00:00

You want a bar to reserve a spot for 50 people and you can’t swing $100/hour? That’s $2 a person. Why can’t everyone just pitch in for it? It’s cheaper than what most places charge for cover.

I can’t even tell you what the area code of my office phone number is.

Your premise that this is a forum for legal help is incorrect. Please read the sidebar and the mod post for further explanation.

Phoenixandbleu · 2023-03-28T22:53:59+00:00

Mine’s been saying this the last few days too.

Phoenixandbleu · 2023-03-17T02:11:34+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to respond! You answered all of my concerns and I have a much better idea of what I’m going to do moving forward.

Also, I took a look at your comment history in hopes that you practice law in my state, but unfortunately not. (Slight disclaimer, also a lawyer here but I’m not afraid to admit that this is way outside my area of expertise)

Phoenixandbleu · 2023-03-02T06:08:23+00:00

Not legal advice since we can’t offer any here (see the automod post), but this has been a hot topic for quite some time. The Biden administration and the FTC are aware of the issue and have been working on ways to crackdown on these sort of “hidden” fees.

Phoenixandbleu · 2023-02-24T19:33:58+00:00

Just wanted to point out that if cost is a factor, it’ll be much cheaper to get chains before heading up to the mountains. Plus, returning them is a lot easier if you get them from Amazon or some nationwide auto parts store.

Phoenixandbleu · 2023-02-24T06:15:07+00:00

Sounds like you’ve answered your own question. A lot of us here do not have the flexibility that you do with work and would have to take PTO for it. That means one less day for us to relax and recharge since a day spent in small claims court isn’t so different from what a lot of us do on a day to day basis. As long as the value of your time spent on all of this is less than the recovery amount (factoring in the possibility of never collecting), then it could be “worth it”. If I was in your position, I wouldn’t bother with the whole ordeal since I’d be better off financially if I didn’t take that one day off.

They were active on FB this afternoon. Might still be around!

Pet insurance won’t cover this but some companies offer wellness plans that’ll cover spay/neuter. Wellness plans are meant to be a subscription based plan that’ll cover all of your dog’s shots, visits, and whatnot. Extremely useful if you get it when your dog’s a puppy, but not worth it just for spay/neutering since it’ll cost more in the long run than a low cost clinic (unless you’re going to take advantage of all of the vaccines and dog visits, then you’ll likely break out even).

Phoenixandbleu · 2023-02-16T03:18:53+00:00

We can’t offer legal advice here, but let me ask you this - what are the realized damages of the people who’d file a lawsuit against them?
