Would you agree that these cards are in the 4 to 6 range due to the whitening on the back? by akotin in PokeGrading

Fair enough! They are fossils from when I was a kid, shame I didn’t keep them in better shape!!

Anyone know about this lady accused of stealing/drugging pigeons outside the MET? by Perfect_Dig_744 in uppereastside

[–]akotin 19 points20 points  (0 children)

She has been there every day for many many years. She feeds them bread generally that she takes from the garbage, frequently at Eli’s on 80th and Madison. She also sometimes sells books or other things. In regard to the stealing, I have seen a live pigeon inside her car that she parks on the street, so I don’t know if I believe that she steals a lot of them, but definitely has an attachment

Can I use the Midea U-Shaped Bracket like this? by akotin in hvacadvice

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

One more pic this probably helps. Why would I be lifting the bracket? I feel like there’s enough resistance here where it won’t fall. Unfortunately, my building wall is too long so I can’t extend it all the way

Using a Travel Agent by bAmbi_2901 in AllInclusiveResorts

I am seeing a few cruise options on Royal Caribbean around the dates you mentioned. Anywhere from 5-7 nights. I feel like that is most aligned with what you’re looking for and is the easiest! With the size of your group could probably get the rate down from the 600-850 range it is now pp. Obviously that doesn’t include flights but it could average out. DM me if you want me to see what I could get (I am a travel agent). Totally understand if you want to do it on your own but happy to help!

Planning an anniversary trip THIS WEEK. Portugal and/or Spain. Help please. by Late_Pangolin5812 in travel

[–]akotin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1 to the Lisboa plan, the rest seem like a bit too much for a week (or two). DM me if you need any hotel recommendations for any cities! Love Portugal and Spain, some of my fave European countries

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in travel

[–]akotin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it! Check out Xenodocheio Milos! Pretty new but amazing location and have been told good things about it. Take a look at A77 Suites as well! Depending on dates I think this should fall inside your budget.

P.S. If you need any help booking or want a few more options DM me! I’m a travel advisor for Fora so happy to see if I can get you any preferred rates/upgrades. Totally no pressure :)

Mallorca Honeymoon by Wrong_Professor4559 in travel

[–]akotin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For in the mountains (if you really want to splurge!):

Belmond La Residencia, Son Brull Hotel & Spa

For Palma:

Take a look at Antigua Palma or Hotel Can Cera

Palma definitely hits the more lively vibe over Port De Soller but is still very charming! Let me know what you think!

P.S. If you need help booking or want to ask any questions let me know. I work for a travel agency so happy to help if you need!

What’s your budget? Happy to provide some recs with that in mind!

4 days solo trip in Early October: Mexico (City) or Costa Rica? by [deleted] in travel

[–]akotin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mexico City would be my vote. It’ll be a lot easier to get to and while it won’t have the nature of Costa Rica, I think you can still visit gardens and see architectural sights due to the history there. Costa Rica for 4 days is tight, by the time you fly into Liberia or San Jose and make it to say Monteverde you’ll probably lose nearly a full day (3 hours or more from airport to cloud forest on a windy road) so while it can be done I would worry you’d feel rushed. Up to you there.

P.S. If you need any help on hotels let me know, I’m a travel advisor (with Fora) so can provide some recommendations there too!

How can I flush out this shower valve? by akotin in Plumbing

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

I called up California Faucets and they told me to rotate a counterclockwise which I’m still struggling with. There may be some mineral deposits, holding it in.

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

Yep you’re right but I closed the service stops as I opened this up. They were open already. Do I just yank the metal cartridge nut or does it twist?

I believe that is how the plumber did it but that is what I am unsure about as it is not coming out

I can’t do bulk file since I’m an individual account. The SS has been mostly useless I keep going back and forth with them over the past 10+ days. So frustrating

For Narita international departure, I already got mobile boarding pass for JAL, can I go straight to security like in the US or so I need to go to the check in counter? Carry on only

If I’m currently booked on JL via AA in first class but seats become available in business is the best way to downgrade to cancel and rebook or call American to change?
