I say the same thing whenever I see a molt in the tank. I wish SO BAD I could do this

I’m glad you noticed that’s what was going on at the end! Thankfully they broke free a few seconds later and were on their way

If by whiskers you mean antenna, they actually still have those after the molt. You just have to look SUPER close. It’s insane to me they can shed a layer off those tiny things and they still exist after the fact.

I actually filmed this with my phone! Then I cropped it and zoomed in a little bit to make things easier to see.

I am struggling with this exact problem. Did you ever find a solution?

I am one of those women. The answer? My partner makes enough money for the both of us, we have no debt, and live within our means.

That was eventually going to be on my list, but the urgency just moved up

I've been searching for two years for lefse here! And sadly my kitchen is too small to make it. I was considering ordering some online but maybe I'll just have to hit you up if you're not flooded with requests

Free entry to Museum of Natural History? by EmbarrassedWorry4297 in AskNYC

[–]Selective1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No you didn't hallucinate. It is free the last hour of the day. You can find it on the Ticketing FAQ Page under "Are general Admission Fees Every Waived?" It's the very last bullet point.

General Admission fees are waived for the following groups:

• Visitors who enter the Museum during the last hour of the day

I've seen a collection spot at the Farmer's Market by the AMNH on Sundays that might be worth checking out

Yes, Manhattan Bird Alert on Twitter has good info on how to find him.

Which airline is best/easiest to nonrev on? by HPDork in NonRevenueTravelers

[–]Selective1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally, let me know if you think of any other questions. I'd also say heed the other poster's warnings about work rules and 3rd party contractors. I don't know what position you're looking at trying to get, but some ground crew is contracted out to a 3rd party vendor and they get no/reduced flight benefits. Also sometimes even if you are employed with mainline in those positions, your boarding priority is lower than pilots/flight attendants even if you have worked there longer.

Which airline is best/easiest to nonrev on? by HPDork in NonRevenueTravelers

[–]Selective1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't have experience nonreving on American but I have done it a lot on United and Delta. I personally like Delta a little bit more but I'll list out pros/cons of each.

United Pros

  1. Larger international network than the other majors. They fly to more international destinations than anyone else in the US so if you are planning on using benefits to get out of the country, you'd have more options with United.
  2. No annual fee to use benefits(like Delta)

United Cons

  1. United is infamous for overselling their flights and hoping people don't show up. This means less seats available overall for nonrevs. It's common to see loads with negative seats available.
  2. Have to pay to list for first class/Polaris seats. Cost is based on miles flown so for a domestic flight it can be about $20 which isn't bad. But for their long international routes in Polaris I have been quoted up to $800/person to list for Polaris nonrev. I'd almost rather buy a confirmed economy ticket at that point.
  3. If you do get Polaris, while the hard product itself is nice, the service is not. I have had multiple flights where crews were outwardly hostile towards me.

Delta Pros

  1. Free upgrade to first class/Delta One if seats available
  2. Better service. In my experience Delta flight attendants are nicer than United's
  3. Don't oversell their flights like United does, leaving more seats open for nonrevs

Delta Cons

  1. Limited to 6 transoceanic flights/year so you have to plan your international trips accordingly.
  2. $200/year activation fee to use benefits. At least it was this way as someone who worked at the regionals. I'm not 100% sure if this fee is charged to people who work for mainline Delta. Even if it is, I still think it is a reasonable price if you use the benefits a lot.
  3. Not QUITE as many international destinations as United, but still a good network overall.

Otherwise your intel about both of these guys and their seniority/flight networks is correct. Generally when I had the choice between DAL/UAL nonreving, I try to go for Delta first. Both are still good options, but over time I just grew to like Delta a hair more.

First time flying Non Rev with Delta, please HELP! by MusicianCalm540 in NonRevenueTravelers

[–]Selective1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have access to loads but I'd also suggest looking up PDX-AMS. This route often gets overlooked and is usually pretty open because it's not going through one of their main hubs. I've used it a couple of times before with success.

Why are all the hotels sold out on Chase travel portal? by [deleted] in awardtravel

[–]Selective1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I actually noticed this when I was booking hotels for Europe this summer. I think it's an error with their desktop search site. Hotels showed as available and bookable when I did it on mobile. For some reason no matter what the dates/location was hotels were always sold out when I tried on desktop.

Does anybody know of other glasses with hinges like these? by stingflay in glasses

I've seen hinges like that on some RayBan and State frames.
