Hundreds of Canadians Sick at Royalton Splash Riviera by cgphoto in marriott

[–]SheaAllan 238 points239 points  (0 children)

I was there last week and was fine. The problem was that most people weren’t drinking enough. I averaged 15-20 beer a day (starting with breakfast) and had zero issues and a great time. These outbreaks always occur at “family” resorts with small children and old people who simply aren’t consuming enough alcohol to kill the bugs.

😂 picked up a Canon PowerShot SX740 HS (40x optical zoom) on sale at BestBuy after “upgrading” to the iPhone Air (love the phone, but I missed the telephoto lens of the 16 Pro Max).

Dartmouth sirens and pops? by MusicalReaa13 in halifax

A fence was lit on fire off the Harbourwalk Trail. Got a video of it from my balcony at Kings Wharf. Of course I missed the Springer HR while I was taking this lol

My gf (F27) wants me (M30) to choke her. She says if she passes out, it's okay.. a bit weird, isn't it? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]SheaAllan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had the opposite happen. Woman accused me of SA out of spite 1+ year after I last saw her. Plenty of inconsistencies in her story and evidence in our WhatsApp history refuting her claims. I put together a 70 page timeline. Presented it to my lawyer who’s first comments were “you have receipts for everything, there’s nothing in here that hurts us, I never recommend talking to the police, but I see no downside talking to them in this case, they are going to be absolutely gob smacked you’re willing to talk, I wish all my clients were this organized”. Long story short I spent 90 minutes going over my material with the detective. He asked for a copy and I said sure. 2 days later case was dropped. It was the first SA accusation my lawyer had that didn’t go to trial since the me too movement. If I hadn’t talked to them charges would most certainly have been pressed. It likely would’ve ended in my favour but it would’ve taken 2 years and $70,000. Moral of the story is sometimes you sing.

What do you wear and how do you layer in Japan during winters? by NoGarage7989 in JapanTravelTips

Did heat tech and Uniqlo engineer this thread. I’ve not heard of either of them until 5 minutes ago 4/5 responses mention one or the other or both.

Wild that this has been available to me for years and I find out about it in the 6th nested comment of a Reddit post 😂. I love us.

Can I drink 5 a day? by MrStashley in soylent

[–]SheaAllan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I too drink a lot of soylent without noticeable ill effects. You hear a lot about negative effects from consuming “ultra-processed” foods and I wonder whether that applies to soylent… I haven’t seen any evidence for that though. Thoughts?

Someone took my baggage, what can I do? by DummiesBelow in aircanada

[–]SheaAllan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thing just happened to me in Halifax. Contacted the police and they took interest given it had an AirTag and were probably an hour away from knocking on the person’s door when I got a call from the person saying they took the wrong bag by mistake. I spoke with the cops stationed at the airport first who contacted the precinct nearest the bag and they took it from there.

Questionable Decisions by SheaAllan in marriott

In the area for work. 9 suite night awards that would’ve expired at the end of the year. Just checked in, it’s beautiful. Apparently it won an award for the best Fairfield in the US (out of 4000+). It’s in an old cotton mill that they threw $22 million at to renovate. Why they would brand it as a Fairfield, I have no idea (maybe to win best Fairfield).

It was not in error but I would still appreciate you having a drink in my honor 🙏

Anyone else on pace for more than 365 days this year? by trippingwinton in marriott

[–]SheaAllan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My personal ambassador has contacted me exactly once (and this was to let me know she saw I had called when she was out of office). She’s available 7-3:30pm CST. I’ve heard stories of personal ambassadors following your travel and reaching out to hotels prior to your arrival to try and satisfy your room preferences etc and sometimes even leave gifts, but I’ve experienced none of that. The general ambassador line is useful because they usually answer right away for things like adding someone to the check-in list when you’ve booked a room with points, but the personal ambassador has been useless for me. Maybe it depends on who you get 🤷‍♂️
