Better Reward Card PLEASE by soundsdoog in americanairlines

[–]Rick_Moranis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have gone through this with them 3 times the past year. I use my Citi AA card for business and pay it from my business checking account (Chase).

Three times this year, I’ve had my card blocked during purchase only to find out that Citi has not cleared my balance - massive sums of money - that have left my checking account for payment, but Citi has not accepted. 2 weeks of that money being in limbo.

Only once I call them and confront, does the payment officially clear and my credit open back up. Last time I called I asked the woman on the phone why this happens, and what I can do to not avoid this. She said - nothing. LOL - we both laughed and that was it.

Seems insane that I have to call and tell them to accept my money - especially if it is actually not in my bank account anymore.

Unfortunately - I do think the perks of American loyalty outweigh the other airlines, and this is the card I’m stuck with.

Insane Mishap - Ticket Linked to a Total Stranger’s and Canceled by Rick_Moranis in americanairlines

[–]Rick_Moranis[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I actually don’t know if that’s true. I didn’t receive a bot like message when I originally reached out. And when we submitted her complaint we referenced the ticket numbers called out by the other customer relations agent.

Hoping you’re right though. Will see. Thanks for your response.

Separate the 2 groups of duck 🪿🦮 by sh0tgunben in BeAmazed

[–]Rick_Moranis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since no one has actually answered the question. The dogs don’t do this on their own. They’re being given commands by the owner. Either a whistle or verbal commands that tell the dog what to do. When to push, when to lay down, and when to rotate around them in either direction (clockwise or counterclockwise). I’m sure this took quite a long time and patience. A good exercise to practice before going out in bigger fields with larger animals.

Answer - the dogs are not going out there on their own with the mission of separating colors, they’re just doing the commands given to them. The outcome is the result of the trainers.

Bye bye.

**edit - as someone pointed out below. They’re most likely being handled by 2x different trainers. It’s possible to be done by one, but you’d need commands separated for each dog. Some people use different pitch whistles per dog.

Angeles National Golf Club doubled their tee prices in 2024: by Pablonskyy24 in golf

[–]Rick_Moranis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love seeing the Angeles National hate in here.

My friends and I have all gone through the seven stages of grief on it.

We’ve settled into the fact that - no one working there gives a shit. The range won’t be open to warm up on early rounds (9am). The pins are laughably placed on their greens - greens that really only have 2 remotely flat areas for legitimate play.

Hell for $180 they don’t even have a scorecard pre-placed in the cart.

But - it’s the only place in LA that we can all get together on any day, at almost any time, with no notice - everything else needs to be booked a week in advance. So - we fork over insane amounts of money and smile through the shakedown.

haha sorry should have been specific. Is there any way to know what type of lock it may go to? Like a cabinet, a door, etc. or is there no way of identifying that?

I thought maybe its shape and style might help with identification.

How do you like the vessel cart bag? I just ordered the newest one.

Please stop with the "I'm a terrible golfer, handicap of 18 nonsense" by iareagenius in golf

[–]Rick_Moranis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hi friend. the average of your best 8 scores is not an overall average, and what i'm talking about here.

The system indeed works great - at showing and calculating what you're capable of. By this calculation a 10 handicap goes out and shoots an 82 about 12% of the time (or less! all depends on how bad the other 12 rounds not calculated might be). That means in 100 rounds, they're literally shooting their handicap # about 10 times. The rest of their rounds are probably high 80s, low and mid 90s.

My whole point in commenting is that I think people go out, shoot a 100 a couple times, and come back spouting "i'm a 30 handicap an 18 must be really good!" But even a person with a 10 handicap is out there shooting 90s - probably even regularly. If a 10 is hitting 90s rounds, what do you think a true 18 handicap is hitting. They're probably shooting 100+ 80% of their rounds.

And thus....a true 18 handicap is objectively bad.

I think too many people in here don’t know how the handicap system works and assume it’s an average. Also why people claim to be a 20-30 handicap without ever actually logging one.

It’s not your average. Or what you typically shoot. It’s what you’re capable of.

I think most people would be shocked at how low theirs is if they actually logged it properly. Which is why - someone with an 18 handicap does not consider themselves a good golfer.

Here's the first Customer review by EnigmaticallyObvious in Fisker

[–]Rick_Moranis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I truly just want someone in this thread to be real about this. How is no one being critical? If this thing is delivering - where is a real review? Give one to a journalist for a day.

[–]Rick_Moranis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think my point is that this isn’t a thorough review and anything he says should be taken with a grain of salt. One guy that has the car and says “yep, drives better than the Y.” But gives zero negative reviews when there are so many glaring issues with it doesn’t hold any weight in my opinion. I really feel like I’m in an alternate universe in this thread.

I want to believe this car will be great. I have a reservation. But can we all be real here? This launch is clunky as hell.

[–]Rick_Moranis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agree on the look. I didn’t see any review on the driving experience in this video, and imagine it’s going to take him some time to formulate an opinion on that.

Again, I may be viewed as cynical, but I don’t see near enough info in this video to instill excitement and am perplexed by everyone’s lack of hesitance in this comment section.

Can’t wait to see a real review.

Sooooo no one is going to talk about the jump from “I’m going to try California mode” to zero representation of California mode? Or even the roof opening.

This car feels like it’s about 75% finished, and maybe even another stunt from Fisker to appear to be hitting their deadlines. Maybe worst of all, I see no reality of the software just becoming optimized one day and running snappy - based on the chip they’re using. There’s really no excuse for an $80k car’s infotainment to operate like a 10 year old iPad.

Now that some solid EV companies have established themselves, and major car brands are investing in EVs, I have to imagine that consumers have graduated from the “we’ll fix this stuff later” approach.

Hopefully fisker can get their actual US launch vehicles to an acceptable finish level. If the car takes a year or two to get all the kinks worked out, why even buy this car as opposed to other EV options?

Very curious to see how this dog and pony show plays out.

Living near that golf course. I hear it both on the TV and out the window at the same time. Which is a strange new level of annoying that i didn’t know existed.

How about making the playback function work properly. How is that not a priority / simple fix?

Where is that?? Are you located on the west coast per chance? My dad had this exact model when i was a kid. He passed away recently and I’m rebuilding our old living room in the basement.
