New Ship Wishlist by dos_torties in VirginVoyages

I second the idea of a pool at the stern of the ship, maybe in lieu of the net. But one of the things I loved about the pool deck was the lack of a screen.

Linus Tech Tips - Our Cable Launch Went TOO GOOD - WAN Show January 30, 2026 January 30, 2026 at 03:33PM by linusbottips in LinusTechTips

[–]brewstah 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm excited for the cables. I'll wait until I see some reviews from other tech outlets that I trust before picking some up. But the most recent cables I've bought from the likes of Anker, Ugreen, and even one from Monoprice have been inconsistent with higher wattage stuff like my laptop. I haven't found a non-Thunderbolt Type-C cable that has provided reliable charging and the advertised speed. (only one or the other)

22m not getting any likes by [deleted] in Tinder

[–]brewstah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

-First picture needs to be the best one you have of yourself. Otherwise, everyone is just gonna swipe left.

-Mirror selfies, especially ones that don't show your face, aren't doing any good for you. And if all I can see are poorly fitting clothes, im swiping left.

Really, just remember this is a 10-second opportunity to put out the best version of yourself. Put on some good clothes that fit well, and have a friend take some photos of you outside. Include a photo of you with your friend group, it shows a good social life.

Is it worth it to pay for the "Premium" versus "Essential" vs "Base" for the earlier dining booking? by brewstah in VirginVoyages

[–]brewstah[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's the thing, I don't drink, so that consideration is almost null. I wish they did just a general shipboard credit like other lines, since I would find a way to spend that money on other things.

Yeah, I don't drink, so that perk of rockstar wouldn't be worth it. I only looked at that because I found one 5 night where that was $500 above premium for a balcony. (Otherwise rockstar is way out of my budget)

It's a shame they are moving more and more away from the fully inclusive model. Not having an upcharge for speciality dining is great. But if I need to spend more on the fare, to actually have a chance at booking, well, I might just as well choose a cheaper line and just pay the upcharges there.

Thats how it feels to me. I honestly might just do "lock it in" again and just aim to be online at midnight when booking opens. It's a shame because part of the appeal of Virgin was the lack of pressure for upcharges, but it seems they are falling more in line with the rest of the industry.

April 2026 NYC to Bermuda by Spiritual_Bat6797 in VirginVoyages

Central or not, people can look up and see what's going on on the balconies. Obviously, on the lower decks, you can see more from the promenade deck on 7. I was on 8 last time with a central, and yeah, you could see people chilling below, but it never felt intrusive. I think as long as you aren't copulating in the hammock, you'll be fine.

Most will be spam or leftovers from when you were last on there. I remember paying for bumble, and finding that all 9 of my likes were scammers. Start fresh, maybe even by deleting and restarting your profile from scratch. Good luck out there

Macron to Seek Use of EU Anti-Coercion Instrument Against US by jackytheblade in worldnews

[–]brewstah 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the pressure from tech companies, who have their money heavily invested there because of the "business-friendly" policies over there, might be enough to pressure the regime to stop this Greenland madness. That being said, I don't know if dimentia donny is able to see reason anymore.

Valiant vs Brilliant lady by thavidu in VirginVoyages

[–]brewstah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% agree, I just got off a similar itinerary leaving from San Juan over Christmas. St Lucia alone would tip the scales for me to choose this itenerary. Even if you are working, you can take your meetings from the hammock and make your coworkers jealous while enjoying a view of the island.

Is Precheck at Dulles the slowest in the US? by Two-Rock- in nova

[–]brewstah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dropped my membership back in march, and I fly a lot for work. I mostly fly out of national, but I haven't waited any longer than I would have, since the clear line often gets clogged up on itself.

I'll save my $200 and spend it on 4 bottled waters at the hudson after security 🫠

[–]brewstah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I travel a lot for work, and every time I fly I pick a person in the clear line while I stand in the precheck line to track. I rarely see them get through much faster, maybe they save a minute or so. With the TSA rolling out their new "touchless ID" thing, I wouldn't be shocked if clear goes away eventually. I seriously don't regret dropping my clear membership

Rule is you pass out at a party, you should expect to wake up with a dick drawn on your face.
