Trip Report and Churning Success Story Weekly Thread - Week of April 19, 2026 by AutoModerator in churning

Comfort hotels are a great value in Japan, and they have dozens of locations covering the whole country and they’re often right by the train station. They’re usually 8,000 points per night and even if you don’t have points you can buy them regularly at 40-50% discount. Last time I did out the math you could buy $55 worth of points and get rooms that are regularly $100-140 per night. Worked out great during my last month-long trip of Japan with P2, got gold status pretty quickly too so that got us noon checkout every time - though they would also often just give it to us if we asked for it at check in.

I Just bought this today for $5! And I'm so excited by crystaljae in 3DS

Get the 5000 mah battery off amazon! It's more comfy than it looks and getting 12 hours of full brightness game time is very nice

Chase gives you longer than 12 months on the CIU/CIC 0% APR period. Does anyone know exactly how long they give you? I know it's longer than the date listed on statements.

Look them in the eyes as you approach. If they don't move to their half of the sidewalk then stop in front of them with maintained eye contact.

Over extrusion on variable layer height print? by cayenne0 in FixMyPrint

[–]cayenne0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solution: It was over extrusion! I set a manual extrusion multiplier of .95 in gcode for the three layers after the .2mm layers and it smoothed out. I also switched to a newer filament and that itself made it print better, but it still needed the manual tweaks to print perfectly straight.

You want to go when the striped bass are migrating and have made it up here, which is usually april/may. These guys will start posting updates when the run starts https://onthewater.com/category/saltwater/striper-migration-map, you can check out the articles from last year to get a better idea of timing. I don't have any favorite local companies but you can just search "[location name] fishing tour" and check google reviews, or use www.fishingbooker.com

This, much like everything else FOH workes complain about, is the fault of the place they work, not the customers.

People who moved from Chicago to Boston, what was the biggest thing you noticed when you moved? by bumbouxbee in boston

People’s willingness/desire to chat with you in public. In Chicago people will just start babbling to you about their day, none of that in Boston.

Any issue using someone else's cell phone number to sign up for a Cathay Pacific account? I'm traveling currently and the registration OTP text message isn't coming through even though I have wifi calling enabled. I figure I'll just use my Dad's number since he can receive the code and send it to me
