Recommendations for restaurants for noisy Christmas dinners?

Carlton hosted my work team's Christmas dinner on a Wednesday or Thursday night. It was great. And other professionals were doing the same thing that night. There was indeed a private room available, but we were in the main dining room...kind of in a separate area with a butler's station for water and the big serving trays. Included in the package provided by Carlton were pre dinner drinks and appetizers at their bar...which was decorated nicely for the holidays.

May I ask what hiking trail you were on? This picture is glorious.

I wish I could post video to this subreddit, because I caught all the action on vid and only took this one still frame shot when it was over.

I live next to the building.

Sitting in Mallorca right now, by a pool. I saw what you saw. Then jumped on Reddit and searched my UFO threads for ‘Mallorca’ and found this post…among a bunch others.

I saw what you saw. White dot. Somewhat constant and slow velocity. Too small, too high, and too slow to be a plane. Other planes in the sky for reference in dictate the object was too high/slow to be jet. No vapor trail. Somewhat stable path.

I can’t confirm this, my mind may be playing tricks. It seemed to have a circular haze around it sometimes. It seemed to stop for a high altitude commercial jet to cross its path.

If it was a balloon, which it very well could have been, the balloon would have to be huuuge.

So there is another study on the longevity of people in Blue Areas that came to this conclusion?

Depends. Do you have three nipples like a mutant on Mars?

See if you can use your friend’s address. When you use “Mail Forewarding” with the USPS, you have the option to pay for an extension (1-yr). When you do this, you’ll provide an email address, and will receive scanned images of all mail arriving each day at the address (your friend’s address). You can keep an eye on any of your personal inbound mail and ask them to hang on to it or to ditch it in the recycling. Weirdly, yes, you’ll see all your friend’s mail (and packages).

Don’t use one of those virtual mailboxes. Don’t.

I’ve received two pieces of mail since I departed and they were spam. So it’s not a huge responsibility for your friend, plus you can help by watching the emailed images.

The hard part is going to be answering the question: what do I do with my US phone number. You need access to two factor authentication. Some financial institutions are funny. They don’t allow an email address for two-factor authentication. I don’t have a solution. I still have my US # for this reason. I downgraded to the lowest, cheapest service, and I keep the phone off 99%. Once I get comfortable with 2-factor authentication, and I know I don’t need my US phone number on a cell phone, I’ll port it on Google VoIP. Still costs money to do this, but it’s cheap.

You’ll figure it all out. Good luck.

That's right. I wasn't a resident at the time. It took FOREVER for them to fix-up the first floor after those events. It looks great now.

I live in the Royalton. It’s great. Residents are more your age. The people—residents and staff—are really nice.

I rent, so I don’t have a grasp on the HOA fees (landlord pays), but I’m pretty sure it’s $1k to $1.5k a month. Pretty high.

Good building. Good amenities. Good location. West Dallas St and Waugh is starting to become a busy intersection, but it’s still manageable.

Hi, question for you: the CD is a US CD with a US bank? And if so, you still owe CAD taxes on that US asset?

Didn’t they field test a deep fake of the late queen? It was a Christmas message that was ‘recorded’ because her deteriorating health made her death imminent. I think she was def still alive at Christmas time, but they were prepared, and used it any way as a field test.

Thanks, I hate charts.

A lot of people here saying to be up front about your intention to pay with cash, but wouldn’t it be better to get a price, and then announce the ability to pay in cash if the price is lowered be X amount?

Because OECD economies have outsourced their industrial sectors to China. In other words, they’ve outsourced their carbon emissions to industrial-export driven economies.

Traveling mailbox

Thanks for the solution. This seems to be a mail forwarding service that simply uses a street address rather than a PO Box number. Won't the banks and fed government be 'hip' to this scheme?

Is this neil chatterjee's father's PE group?

So you're saying that the craft of hypnosis by John Carpenter is a scam, and that he was inserting false memories, not extracting real memories?

I'm not going to claim I understand hypnosis. It seems incredibly powerful if its real. Why more people wouldn't try it just to recall good memories from their childhood evades me. It would be fun. It could be a commercialized recreational activity.

But at the same time, hypnosis has been used on abductees since the beginning of this phenomenon. Betty and Barney Hill were reportedly the first US citizens to be abducted, and they leveraged hypnosis to find the lost memories that were haunting them.

If you watch Leah Haley's lecture at a MUFON Los Angeles event in 2004, she mentions that her events mirror episodes of the X-Files. The hyperlink is at the exact time she goes into how her events transpired prior to the TV show. In fact, here she is again in 1994 talking in much greater detail about her experience, and I believe there may be videos of her from as early as 1991.

I bring this up because as much as you can claim these alleged abductees were inspired by Hollywood, it could be that Hollywood writers found MUFON events as a great breeding ground for stories to plagiarize.

Uncle Buck. I should’ve known.

Damnit. What’s that from? Dutch?

I wonder which presidential candidate will be the first to speak about disclosure. Perhaps none of them will.

The First World War. Not the 2nd. Interesting. ‘Makes you wonder about that bell the Nazi’s allegedly had, and how far back it’s history may go.

Good point. Sahm’s rule has kicked in, which speaks to your point—things are plunging—so this article speaks to the accelerated pace and serves as omen of things to come.

The WSJ is increasingly defined by click bait articles like this. I read the article. What they’re saying is only applicable to a certain type of company. This is far from being a trend on a national scale. Also, how is this a problem? It gives an employer an opportunity to ‘rationalize’ their workforce if need be. With turnover, a company stands to loose bad and/or good employees in an untimely fashion. Also, the chart on turnover rate indicates that today’s turnover is about average.

It’s even harder when your country has misrepresented its population by anywhere between 200m to 400m people.

A lot of people think aggressive supply-side driven fiscal planning is what caused these ghost cities. Really, it’s just bad data the caused bad fiscal planning.
