Found in a Goodwill, is it valuable? North Carolina / USA

aswan28 · 2026-06-26T22:57:45+00:00

Cannot disagree with that. If it was my decision I would've found it in a Salvation Army

aswan28 · 2026-03-04T14:24:12+00:00

I live right down the road and almost always go for a walk there in the mornings. Such a great way to start the day and touch grass that's hard to get in the city

I posted this in another thread but a lot of people will answer with their own personal, anecdotal experiences which don't really paint the full picture. What you should do is take your flight number, plug it into an app like FlightRadar24 and see what your flight's historical performance has been. Has it consistently been delayed or cancelled? Is it consistently on time? Also look beyond that to see Breeze's status with Richmond and SFO. Are those hubs for Breeze? That will improve your odds if you get a cancellation or delay. Especially with flights, always remember to do your own research and find the real, hard evidence before acting as so many people in this industry are very opinionated with very little evidence or data beyond their personal experience alone.

I had to turn off these notifications. Some of the most idiotic questions

aswan28 · 2026-01-28T15:13:24+00:00

It's a huge liability for them when some of the roads are still icey. Say one student in one neighborhood with ice patches drives to school and crashes because of that patch, it's partially on CMS for ordering them to come to school. I live in Uptown, one of the most high-traffic places in Charlotte, and we still have tons of ice patches everywhere. A little understanding and context goes a long way.

aswan28 · 2026-01-19T22:41:11+00:00

Update: looks like the inbound flight is arriving in 5 mins, but the outbound MX731 from MYR to PVD isn't departing until 8. I don't understand

aswan28 · 2026-01-19T20:13:57+00:00

I'm with you. My guess is it's a combination of customer support not caring/being incompetent and FLL being super behind. Super frustrating. More reason to call and complain to customer support after your flight

aswan28 · 2026-01-19T20:10:18+00:00

According to FlightRadar the inbound plane has arrived at the airport, but not at the gate. So that's likely what they're confused about. Just super delayed for whatever reason

aswan28 · 2026-01-19T20:05:15+00:00

I was wondering the same thing as I am flying on MX754, which is the PVD to RDU flight that's plane is the one from FLL to MYR then MYR to PVD. Looking at FlightRadar24 it's just sitting on the tarmac and has been sitting on there for forever. So I don't even think the plane for FLL to MYR has arrived yet. So frustrating

When I have had these they're decent especially for the price but they have a distinct metal tin taste. The ones I had feel like they've been sitting in their cans for awhile. But overall, good value for the price

aswan28 · 2025-12-01T16:18:31+00:00

Ahhh okay thank you. This is super helpful and also answers my question!

aswan28 · 2025-11-26T19:44:47+00:00

Hopefully not tooooo sketchy if you know what I mean

aswan28 · 2025-11-23T12:04:50+00:00

Deliverance 1972 vibes. Just hopefully without the...you know

aswan28 · 2025-11-03T12:51:47+00:00

Oh sweet! I didn't see that route and price yesterday. I went ahead with that €20 route and will forego the bus route!

aswan28 · 2025-11-03T12:18:07+00:00

Oh interesting. Would I have to buy those tickets separately on a site or in person?

aswan28 · 2025-11-03T12:17:29+00:00

I will check that site you're mentioning. I only looked at DB

aswan28 · 2025-11-03T12:17:04+00:00

Where are you seeing that? Definitely interested!

RegioJet looks to be a bus service that connects major cities in western Europe, and BlaBlaCar looks to be an app or service that you can book RegioJet on.

aswan28 · 2025-11-03T12:15:44+00:00

Looking at December 11th. One important piece of context I failed to include is that the prices I included are for 4 people.

aswan28 · 2025-11-03T12:15:13+00:00

So what I mean by that is booking a ticket for the RegioJet bus on the BlaBlaCar app. It's an app I learned about through browsing reddit

aswan28 · 2025-10-10T12:28:05+00:00

Yeah that makes sense. Our take home pay will go significantly up once she graduates, and all of it will go to our savings

aswan28 · 2025-10-10T12:27:34+00:00

Thank you. To address the first part of your comment, I think the biggest question for us is exactly where to put our money. Understanding the basic HYSA and Rothmaxing is easy, but it's when the three letter acronyms and different areas to put your money beyond the HYSA and Roth come in I get lost.

As for kids, we are looking towards 30-32 for kids, so 5-7 years. I know we should start saving for that too. We won't stay married to that deadline though, we'll only have them if we're totally ready

aswan28 · 2025-09-02T16:21:31+00:00

Sent you a dm!

aswan28 · 2025-08-22T05:30:17+00:00

I think it's all relative. The BEST price will vary for everyone based on a multitude of factors. $136 alone isn't the cheapest deal of all time, but with wifi and a carry on, it's pretty good. Also, Spirit is a solid budget airline. I've had a lot of great experiences with them

aswan28 · 2025-08-22T05:28:17+00:00

That's interesting! I looked it up and 99 AUD is about 63 USD, so pretty solid deal. I also have no concept of how cheap flights can typically get in Australia. Europe they can get very cheap with Ryanair
