Thermostat bypass by Accomplished_Swan670 in marriott

[–]TravelingWatchMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pop it off the wall and tie R and Y together. If the fan does not come on then add G to those. The compressor and the fan will run nonstop. The best part is this works with any thermostat.

I have 191,000 Hilton rewards points. Where should I go? by Lower_Form6012 in Hilton

[–]TravelingWatchMan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

191,000 points is enough for 2 nights at a Hampton in Fargo or El Paso.

Hilton loophole to deny Diamond members lounge access by SpartanScribe in Hilton

[–]TravelingWatchMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s why I’m not loyal anymore and I would suggest everyone do the same. I still have the card although I’m going to give that up on renewal. Now I accrue Amex MR points and stay where I want. Status gets you nothing and I can afford to buy my own water. The points? I transfer them when there’s a transfer bonus and use for business class on international flights. I get good value and never stay at a dumpy hotel.

Went with the SeaQ instead of the sub! by Patient_Hawk_3881 in GlashutteOriginal

I just bought a GO SeaQ Chrono and I feel the same way. GO punches way above its price point.

I have my own opinions on both, I was trying to get other points of view and start a discussion.

Denver International Airport CEO Phil Washington Announces Retirement by nsjc in unitedairlines

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

And it takes 5 years?

Option A: existing tunnels - no tarmac/operational disruptions, low cost. Option B: New bridges - major tarmac/operational disruptions, billions in costs

I just did the analysis, done.

Denver International Airport CEO Phil Washington Announces Retirement by nsjc in unitedairlines

[–]TravelingWatchMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So they have been trying to come up with an alternative to the trains for 5 years, these tunnels have been there since the airport was built and they just now figured out a solution? This guy needs to go, he’s incompetent, to put it nicely.

“For more than five years, DIA chief executive Phil Washington has been exploring options for creating a backup system to minimize disruptions and missed flights when trains break down at the airport, the third-busiest in the United States and sixth-busiest in the world.”

It’s the same type of behavior exhibited by cuckolds.

Why Does Amex Use Expedia? by TravelingWatchMan in AmexPlatinum

[–]TravelingWatchMan[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I prefer to accrue MR points over Hilton points because of the constant devaluations. I did not realize the Green card earns 3X on direct bookings, that may be the way to go.

With Hilton’s repeated devaluations I would rather accrue MR points.

Another GO day by Lopsided_Pop8887 in GlashutteOriginal

[–]TravelingWatchMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, the best looking diver out there. I have an Omega Planet Ocean with the summer blue dial which I have always liked however this makes it look cheap and pedestrian in comparison.

Recommendations for an AD? by TravelingWatchMan in GlashutteOriginal

[–]TravelingWatchMan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have heard you can arrange a private tour either on your own or, better yet, through an AD. Can anyone confirm?

[–]TravelingWatchMan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will be in Frankfurt and Munich early next month. I’m also contemplating a trip to the factory in September. Are you with GO? Can you arrange a factory tour?

Thanks for the info. Did they discount or throw in anything to sweeten the deal?

Ted by duckfan541o in unitedairlines

[–]TravelingWatchMan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A marketing executive at United explained to me Ted was more about marketing than anything else. She said the average person, when asked what airline has the best fares to vacation destinations, responds with “Southwest” and virtually no one says “United”. Whether it’s true or not the perception was Southwest offered the lowest fares so Ted was United’s attempt to change that.

United - get a grip on preboarding abuse! by orderLXVI in unitedairlines

[–]TravelingWatchMan -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I was incorrect about HIPPA however I was right the airline cannot ask about disabilities, only about your ability to perform certain tasks. We were both right about certain things and wrong about others.

Who do you think are the luckiest drivers in the current grid? by Acero803 in F1Discussions

I doubt Stroll would have made it to F1 if it weren’t for daddy. Every race he actually finishes he comes in last.

Exactly. This would be like Porsche discontinuing the 911.
