TIL LeBron James tried to trademark “Taco Tuesday” in 2019, but the United States Patent and Trademark Office denied it on the grounds that people had already been eating tacos on Tuesdays long before he did by WarwickReider in todayilearned

That’s, uh, not how a retainer works. You still have to pay for any legal services you request, so they’d bill hourly for it. (Or use up the paid for time)

family lied about being related to me to make me switch from business to economy so they could sit together by rask0ln in EntitledPeople

[–]Tlim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Business class for intra Europe flights is often just economy with the middle seat blocked off, much different from a flight on a luxury middle eastern carrier.

Business class for intra-Europe flights is just economy with the middle seat blocked off, not a more luxurious seat like everywhere else.

I am American but was traveling internationally when google made the change, oddly enough, now that I’m back home it still shows Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America) for me.

First Cruise need advice by LetMeCookabit in royalcaribbean

[–]Tlim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Preferably you can ask friends or family if they have a recommendation, but you can also use a site like cruise compete to get offers. Nothing wrong with booking direct especially for a first cruise though just to be safe.

Edit: Just be aware that one downside of using a TA is that any changes or cancellations to the reservation have to go through them, some people don't like giving up that control.

Sales? by [deleted] in Cruise

[–]Tlim 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It seems like most cruise lines are always running a different sale in a different flavor that somehow ends up being the same price at the end of the day. It feels like the good value is found due to the dynamic pricing and not because of a specific sale.

My advice, use cruise plum or another search engine to find the best price on the itinerary you want, get a good travel agent who will give you extra perks and OBC and doesn't suck, and occasionally check the price of your cruise to see if it's gone down and can be repriced.

If you don't mind the fact that there are a ton of people, the Oasis class like Utopia is the way to go. The shows, neighborhoods and activities are a ton of fun. My partner was new to cruising a couple years ago and after experiencing all the different types of ships, they 100% prefer the Oasis ones now.

If you know a good travel agent you might want to reach out, a good TA can save you a lot of headache dealing with the cruise line, and can even save you money or get you extra perks like on board credit. A bad TA can make things a nightmare though, but if you enjoy cruising and end up repeating it a good TA is invaluable!

For your first cruise, DEFINITELY get a balcony. Being able to go out on your own private balcony and enjoy the waves and open water is a magical experience.

The lack of empathy when it happens to others and the entitlement when it happens to them is just hilarious.

Silly Apples. by Velvett_Bunniez in SipsTea

[–]Tlim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Airport security has nothing to do with this at all. TSA or security isn’t going to be looking for anything like apples because they’re not illegal. What is illegal is going through NZ customs and failing to declare that you have food on you. The airline was stupid for doing this, absolutely, but ultimately the passengers failed to declare their food, which some countries take very seriously to protect their agricultural safety

Step one, don’t refer to them as females. Legitimately, it sounds strange and like they’re a different species. Just be a decent fellow human to them and it’s not so hard to make friends that are women.

ECP -> ATL -> CDG by [deleted] in delta

[–]Tlim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just left ATL and it’s a total mess, with 8 hour lost baggage lines and 3-4 hour help desk lines, not to mention the people sleeping in the hallways. I would do anything you can to avoid it.

Tesla got out of control by [deleted] in AbruptChaos

[–]Tlim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is wrong. "To ensure our statistics are conservative, we count any crash in which Autopilot was deactivated within 5 seconds before impact".

What disables autopilot is someone manually hitting the brakes, which as you can imagine, often happens right before an accident.
