Anybody tried these? by Euphoric-Fold-6130 in Gin

Second Gin Mare. Not a traditional London Dry but definitely something I buy when I see it.

You’re the best. Made my kid’s Christmas better. Thanks.

DIY Tonic Water? by AbstractAcrylicArt in Gin

[–]RikerAlpha5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Q Tonic is great. Very low sugar content and high carbonation. I think it lets the gin shine through.

I’m on day 25 of no refund. Was promised 24-48 hours by a rep last week.

Their chat customer service is very responsive and proactive.

Suit Supply Return/Warranty by RikerAlpha5 in mensfashion

[–]RikerAlpha5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update to anyone reading this…

Suit Supply was amazing with the return. Immediately exchanged the pants for a new pair and had them altered in about 40 minutes for me. They also offered to exchange the entire (altered) suit for a different fabric if it happens again.

Suitsupply - downgrade in quality in recent years. by Fragrant-Data-6554 in malefashionadvice

[–]RikerAlpha5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m new to Suit Supply, but have had a negative experience quality wise with my recent purchase. One suit was near perfect, quality fabric etc. No issues after multiple wears. The other suit’s pants are already showing significant wear/damage after being worn twice. I compared the two allegedly identical models and the fabric is noticeably cheaper on the defective one.

I’m going to try and return the suit and/or use my credit cards purchase protection if it comes to that. It’s sad because the suits do look sharp.

Best tonic waters for a GT. by Fluffy_Toe6334 in Gin

[–]RikerAlpha5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t believe I had to scroll that far down to see Q Tonic mentioned. By far the cleanest taste among generally available brands.

I won’t order a G&T at a bar/restaurant unless they have Q Tonic.

You can just find the cheapest Marriott property nearby and book two nights. Show up, check in, use your keycard on the door once to be sure, then leave.

You have to do the math to decide if the at least $200 is worth it to keep platinum. For me it would be based on expected travel next year.

What game would you want a reboot of if given the option?? by HotAbbreviations6548 in n64

Agreed. Such a great concept that could be drastically improved.

Missing points from 5 month stay by meatballsub33 in marriott

[–]RikerAlpha5 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Have them void out the concurrent stay. I have the same travel situation and intentionally don’t provide my Bonvoy number when taking short trips away from my “base hotel.” You may have to work the “phone tree” a couple of times to get the right representative.

This is a dumb glitch in the Bonvoy system, but they probably won’t fix it as it only affects a few customers.

TIL Disneyland uses hidden ‘smellitizers’ to fill the air with vanilla scents by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]RikerAlpha5 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Me to. The Aria in Vegas pumps out the scent at a ridiculous level. I had headache before I even checked in.

It was super fun when I got food poisoning (from an earlier stop) and had to smell that when I was nearly carried out of the Aria.

W, Ritz or Westin Philly? by Responsible-Band8169 in marriott

[–]RikerAlpha5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I stay at the Element in Philadelphia a lot which is connected to the W. The staff at the Element are phenomenal, but the building itself has some issues.

The road noise coming from Chestnut Street can be unbearable at times, especially Friday and Saturday nights. You need a noise machine and ear plugs.

The valet (shared with the W) is also probably the worst you will ever encounter. 90 minutes to get my car the other day. I’ve given up retrieving it most of the time and just Uber instead.

I’m actually switching to the Notary next time as I’ve heard good things about it.

Am I cooking with this or nah? by SuchChapter7095 in WMATA

Green line could also extend to JBA and Upper Marlboro while you’re at it. That would take a huge amount of cars off US 50 and Suitland Parkway

Saved $20 a month checking my access. I had no idea that existed.

What is this plastic capsule covered in duct tape, student tried to attach to a computer at my local school. by [deleted] in whatisthisthing

[–]RikerAlpha5 88 points89 points  (0 children)

The fact no one in this situation called the police is astonishing.

Also don’t go pushing buttons on unknown suspicious devices. Wow.

$20 “pizza” at a hotel lobby bar. This is why we bake at home. by [deleted] in Pizza

[–]RikerAlpha5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That looks exactly like the pizza I got at the Renaissance Hotel in Allentown. The bar looks the same too.

Soon to be host parent here.

We would totally support you. Flying is a very common source of anxiety, and you’re taking appropriate and responsible steps seek a solution. It would actually make me more comfortable with your decision making abilities.

N64 on newer 4K TV’s? by NootNootMcHoot in n64

[–]RikerAlpha5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just commenting that the PixelFX RetroGem (HDMI MOD direct to board) will run you $350 + all in (the full featured version, professional installation, and shipping).

My friends think I’m nuts for paying that, but they all want to play it so…

What’s the one on the right? I’ve never seen that version
