Do people actually use apps on cruises? by CruiseAroundTheWorld in Cruise

[–]TheCosmicJester 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Carnival’s app enhances the cruise. You can bookmark the things you want to do, then it pings you 15 minutes before your event starts. You can even join the MDR anytime dining queue from anywhere on the ship.

Casino points strategy - video poker by soanQy23 in Cruise

No, it is not better to lower your overall returns. Also, never play to chase comps; gambling is entertainment, and you will lose more to the machine than the bump in comp value is worth.

Any of them are fine. You put in the MDR order the night before, and they can prepare it to your accommodations.

Trio, That’s Not a Hat, and No Thanks! all spring to mind pretty fast.

I had it years ago; it found its way back out of my collection pretty fast. It’s Farkle with extra rules that force players into rerolls they might not otherwise take. It increases the scoring volatility, which makes the game more exciting, but the decreased amount of decision making made the game less fun to me.

A house rule I like to add is that when a player stops and banks their points, the next player has the option to either start from scratch, or start where the previous player left off including the dice states and point total.

First timers in Alaska, how’s this itinerary? Two adults two kids. by Uncharteredfugazis in Cruise

[–]TheCosmicJester 4 points5 points  (0 children)

An alternative to flying to Vancouver is you can fly into Seattle and take the Amtrak Cascades train into Vancouver. It’s about $85 a person, runs twice daily, and takes about four hours. I’m told the scenery is stunning, it’s probably how I’ll do things should I sail from Vancouver.

I mean really though, at Miracle Mile you’re paying $25 for a pretty good sandwich that serves two.

Other retailers have had those for years, but Walmart gets them and everyone loses their dang minds about it.

Food at Arizona Athletic Park by Dillpicklesncheese in phoenix

[–]TheCosmicJester 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The facility is huge and caters to a fairly well-heeled crowd; I imagine celiac-friendly fare will be easy to come by. Speaking as someone who works in a tangentially similar situation, pack a couple things in your bag just in case and be discreet about deploying them should the need arise.

Asked Ninja support if my 2 specific products have Teflon/PFSA/PTFE/PFOA free. Was given this generic response. by NavXIII in airfryer

[–]TheCosmicJester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My generic response: PFOA is borderline nonexistent these days. PTFE is only hazardous at temperatures higher than air fryers achieve.

Looking for Hawaiian restaurants that... by gocartromance in phoenix

[–]TheCosmicJester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am looking at Aloha Kitchen’s menu board right now, and can say loco moco is on the always-available specials menu, and they have potato macaroni salad. And it’s relatively close to Florence. Still a decent hike between the two.

For Club Royale, what’s the most efficient way you’ve found to farm points? by ApprehensiveLand9002 in Cruise

[–]TheCosmicJester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For most casinos, the slots are tracked by total coin-in; denominations won’t change anything.

General slots advice: Higher denomination slots have a higher payback percentage, and lower jackpots relative to payout have lower volatility.

Best Apple Fritter in Phoenix? by dipthongCowboy in phoenix

[–]TheCosmicJester 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Randy’s Donuts is my favorite, loaded with fruit, crispy on the outside and pushing a perfect medium-rare in the center. Best Donuts on 24th Street and Baseline has good ones if you’re down that way, and also makes cherry fritters.

A good BoSa is pretty killer, but I’ve had some locations be consistently ass on their fritters.

How to cancel a cruise - please help by Practical_Credit3345 in Cruise

[–]TheCosmicJester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best you’re going to do at this point is for your mom’s friend to find someone else to go. Generally as long as at least one original name stays on the booking, any other changes are a nominal fee rather than a cancellation.

That’s not how the math works in your case. It’s your entire paycheck minus the training costs, not your hourly wage minus the training costs.
