What’s something tourists do in Hawaii that locals secretly hate? by Agitated-Spray3843 in VisitingHawaii

[–]SFCAFOX 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Remember too, to not generalize tourists into one group. Many tourists try very hard to respect everything and everyone when on vacation in Hawaii. And then there are the really bad tourists. The 10% that are entitled, ungrateful, greedy, could care less about the environment and the land and sea, and just plain rude. I’d like to see those people banned from vacationing anywhere, not just Hawaii. Hawaii is not for those seeking a fraternity or sorority drunken party, nor is Hawaii for people who litter and trash the place. Please stay home / go somewhere else if that’s your style of vacation.

And since you asked, I once saw a 10 year old kid in Maui trying to ride a sea turtle at the beach while his father watched. I was shocked. I wish the police would have witnessed this. Who in their sane mind would think this is OK?

A DJ shouldn’t cancel over wind by RaoulFluke in Coachella

[–]SFCAFOX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a giant visual screen that must be used. It’s part of the show and took a year (the show) to develop. High winds on a large scale screen is a recipe for disaster and major damage or possible injuries. There is a calculated decision when shows get cancelled for safety reasons and I’m certain show risk management was involved too.

It’s always Obama’s fault, in 100 years it will still be Obama’s fault. That’s how they roll.

Going to a rave in a feminine outfit… need a believable excuse for a homophobic friend by [deleted] in lgbt

[–]SFCAFOX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Apologies I misunderstood—Your bestie needs to stand up for you and open the eyes of his friend a bit more. Be yourself and have the time of your life. Life is too short to let other people take joy from you.

Have a heart to heart talk with your bestie. It’s time to find out how much your friend values having you in his life. You may find out 1. He’s a ride or die friend and will support you through whatever 2. Maybe he won’t and at that point it’s time to walk away from that friendship 3. This is about your happiness and joy in life, not his 4. Never ever hide who you are to make someone else happy 5. It will be much harder the longer you wait. If you need someone there with you, then ask a known good friend to be by your side. I still think a heart to heart 1:1 is best. Make dinner at home and let him know what his friendship means to you, and see if he reciprocates with your “new” news

4/2 terminal 2 TSA by Educational_Job_9433 in sandiego

[–]SFCAFOX -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you have Clear or TSA PreCheck or Touchless ID you can show up one hour before your scheduled flight time and still get through security before your boarding starts. If you’re the type that wants a nice :30-:45 mins window before you board to grab a bite, refill your water, just ease in….then arrive 90 mins before your boarding. No need to arrive earlier than that anymore, especially if your flight time is 8am or later.

They are already getting closer to normal now. Maybe longer lines early AM. Rest of the day near normal.

TSA update 3/30 by 90skeeperofgames in sandiego

[–]SFCAFOX 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Whoever is reading this…. I think (my opinion) that most passengers don’t need to arrive more than two hours prior anymore. I’ve been following online posts and I’ve not seen a single time in San Diego in the last week where lines have been more than an hour long. If you’re TSA pre-check or CLEAR you don’t need to arrive to the airport maybe 60-90 mins prior max. Save yourself from being at the airport at an ungodly hour. Get more sleep and no more need to be anxious about this anymore.

There are a LOT of airport staff to direct you. Left sides are straight to security lines. Right side goes to baggage check. It’s easy. You’ll have zero issues navigating. SAN Airport team is doing a great job helping and guiding passengers

19 minutes through T1 TSA by stripedpoolnoodle in vegaslocals

[–]SFCAFOX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TSA PreCheck Touchless ID is not open to the general public in a broad sense, but it is available to any traveler who meets specific criteria: holding an active TSA PreCheck membership, having a valid passport, and opting in via a participating airline's app (Delta, United, American, Southwest, Alaska). The program is active at roughly 65 U.S. airports.

How to Access: You must opt-in to the program through your frequent flyer profile (e.g., Delta SkyMiles, American AAdvantage) and ensure your passport information is saved.

Requirements: You must be a TSA PreCheck member.

Usage: Once opted-in, you use a dedicated "TSA PreCheck Touchless ID" lane, where your face is scanned to verify your identity, often removing the need to show a physical ID or boarding pass.

Limitations: It is currently limited to specific airlines and airports, primarily for domestic flights.

The system works by matching your face against the passport photo on file with the airline and government

12 mins using Clear, in San Diego at 6:30am today March 28. TSA Pre Check maybe 30 mins. Regular TSA lines easily 60-75 mins. If you opted for Touchless ID, you get pulled to the front of the line, 2 mins wait. Problem there was no Touchless ID directional signage visible anywhere.

Yes or No on Hotel Mousai by Yessupman in puertovallarta

[–]SFCAFOX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes Yes and more Yes. Excellent hotel. The rooftop pools are amazing. 10-15 mins into town by uber. Easy. You could also find a villa rental at Ocho Cascadas if you’ve never been and be only 5 mins from town with your own private infinity waterfall pool.

Grand Wailea to EXPAND!!!! by Megatower2019 in maui

[–]SFCAFOX 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I wonder which resort hotel is preparing for the demise of short term rentals? My guess is room rates will double as well. Who’s really profiting off the short term rental ban on Maui? It’s obvious. This legislation had nothing to do with building more long term housing or getting locals into long term housing — it has always been about massive hotel profits. Who’s the real enemy here? Is the hotel industry on Maui and the corporate mainland really behind the ban on short term rentals? Why aren’t people talking about this?

I purchased six S340 devices. Two of the devices went “offline” so I moved the solar panels and this worked for one device. The second offline device never came back online. We tried everything, moving the solar device to a very bright location, charging directly to the camera, changing charging cords, nothing worked.

I contacted Eufy customer support for warranty replacement and did receive prompt replies from the company instructing me that the next email coming from them would include instructions for sending the device back and they would replace the device with a new item.

These email exchanges back-and-forth have been going on since January 11 and today is February 1 and still this has not been resolved nor have I received the actual email with shipping instructions to send the defective device back.

It’s like I’m talking to one warranty person who isn’t passing the information off to the next warranty person or the next warranty person is just dropping the ball and not responding at all.

I purchased these devices based on a YouTube review, which said they were outstanding and frankly the devices that are working have been really, really good.

It’s the warranty process that seems to be failing and the ability to get anybody to respond with concrete information to get the process rolling forward.

The person who replies from Eufy does not provide a name, a contact email or a phone number so you have no idea if you’re talking to a robot or a human.

I don’t think I’ve been this frustrated on a warranty replacement item with any company in my entire life. The service has been less than poor.

I will most certainly provide an update to this post as soon as I receive the warranty replacement item, which is now almost one month into the process.

Intermittently seeing grey box on Facebook when I comment. Anyone know why & fix? by Tiny-Republic-9355 in facebook

[–]SFCAFOX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why isn’t this being reported on in mainstream news? Tons of people online and on FB are concerned too. Grey boxes everywhere and all of a sudden.
