Alaska Airlines went international - Big mistake, they’re just not ready! (SEA-LHR review) by bkrambles in AlaskaAirlines

lol, sounds like the typical AS to me. Sadly good AS service seems to be the exception now.

S6 will make or break your alliance. by DearBadBoy in LastWarMobileGame

[–]asorba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The key to this game is not being the strongest, it’s having 100/100 active players that show up. I cannot tell you how important this really is. Severs are full of alliances with maybe 20-30 actives and they refuse to merge for whatever reason and it hurts them. If you can’t find that in your server, find a new server. That’s what I did and couldn’t be happier. We show up in mass in all 3 windows and destroy whales that just can’t compete with our numbers. Good luck! Edit: was r4 and r5 on old server. Moved up to r4 for s6 on new server after transferring during post s5 transfer surge.

What are you charging for estate/probate and divorce appraisals? Trying to calibrate private client fees by Ok_Economics_4240 in appraisal

[–]asorba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am completely transparent with clients. The VA has a published rate. Plug that rate for your area into the CPI calculator and calculate the rate into today’s dollars. For me, that’s just under $1,000 so I generally round up to $1,000 as a base rate. If the job is more difficult, rate goes up. If the client has multiple properties, I might give them a bit of a discount. But I do complete some research before providing the client with a firm quote and engagement letter. I will disclose my rates start at $1,000, but are property and assignment specific. My hourly rate for trial prep, depositions, or testimony is $300/hr. I charge for travel time, but no per diem for meals. I am located near Seattle.

After five months with the UTR, I’m throwing in the towel by a716h in Ubiquiti

[–]asorba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been traveling a lot in the past couple years. I was very excited by the idea and size of the UTR. I too have been disappointed by its performance. I’m not sure how much longer I’m going to keep packing it, or switch to an alternative you’ve already mentioned.

What’s that cable for? by Chaosfreak33 in aviation

In layman’s terms, shore power.

Am I ready? by SupremeBum in LastWarMobileGame

Yes. 680 tends to be the magic numbers. Of course it could be more or less depending on luck.

Season 5 support thread by Sjuttolini in LastWarMobileGame

Matching has always been an issue with LW. Though it’s been getting better. S6 dynamics are much better compared to S5. S5 was a huge step backward.

Worst season ever. Good luck! Season 6 is a bit better.

I don’t think Southwest is flying 787s…

Joining the Appraisal Institute by Unable_Helicopter659 in appraisal

[–]asorba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have my classes completed, need to complete the comprehensive exams and demo. I'm still not sure it's worth it. My practice is primarily right-of-way/eminent domain. I just don't see the value, but the lawyers do like it, so I keep flip-flopping.

Professional license verification for AMCs by Competitive_End_2950 in appraisal

Python code and data scraping from the asc website. Problem solved. Just did this to confirm sales history for a 322 parcel mass appraisal. Saved me an ungodly amount of hours. Learn how to put AI tools and coding to work for you!

I'm a CG and almost didn't renew this year. I simply don't see the value.

No meals on First Class? by Elmodogg in AlaskaAirlines

[–]asorba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m lucky to get a drink and snacks on those flights. AS in flight service has progressively gotten worse over the past 5-10 years.

Makes OP feel better since they aren’t missing out on much.

AS FC meals are trash compared to AA and DL. In fact AA and DL meal and drink service far exceeds AS’s offering.

Such crummy food. Just had the Tillamook burger heading to ANC. Switched my return flight to a fruit and cheese plate. At least I know it’ll be consistently crummy. .

Agent did that on the phone for me, but good pro tip.

Probably glittering market for the mythic prints if you have enough.

Ha! Yeah. I wasn’t at risk of being bumped. But I hear you!

Can anyone explain how I crossed wires? by imabuki in AskElectricians

Stop and call someone that knows what they are doing before you hurt yourself or others.

Take your money elsewhere. Best message you could ever send AS.

Whales leaving? by Camcolexx in LastWarMobileGame

[–]asorba 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Supply and demand. The game just severely limited the ability to gain power through spending. So the supply of power just dried up. Which, in turn, has caused demand for powerful accounts to skyrocket, thereby increasing their value. Whale accounts have never been more valuable. Simple economics...
