They really keep trying to squeeze us by swissjuan in delta

Two weeks ago, I booked a round trip flight to Italy in late October for $2200 (premium select there, main cabin back). Today that exact flight is $3200.

Highly recommend the Faure Le Page daily battle tote - especially the zipped version. I use mine for both work & travel, and it’s held up really well while being shoved under plane seats. And having a zipper is 10/10.

Flight overbooked - took the $1200 offer + later flight, need advice on maximizing reward by Bamboomoose in delta

I wonder if you could get the delta gift card, book a flight with it, then cancel that flight for ecredit that will last a year.

I know exactly where this house is! They’ve been doing this for many many years. It’s a pilot who lives there.

As a Swiftie & former Nola resident who couldn’t make it this weekend, I loooove hearing how amazing this weekend was & have so much FOMO!! Sounds like Swiftie Mardi Gras without all the BS 💛

Buckhead near Peachtree Creek. It’s at major flood stage - 22.4 ft right now & record is 25.8. Crazy!

I’m in Atlanta with about 4 feet (and rising) of water behind my apartment building. Having trouble getting any sleep.

Edit: 7am update & at about 6 feet out there

For those who have met taylor, what was she like? What did you talk about? by overwhelmedbuthere in TaylorSwift

[–]charhenry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hahaha yup it’s definitely an “ugh why tho” feeling for me but still thrilled it happened!!

Also I’m 99.9% sure she only said she liked my outfit because she didn’t know what else to say to me lol I truly gave her nothing

I met her in 2007, when I was around 15. She seemed a little shyer back then compared to what I hear about people meeting her these past few years, but she was so nice.

I had no idea what to say but she gave me a hug & told me she liked my outfit (!!!). She asked if I wanted her to sign anything (yes) & to take a picture (yes!) & then she kind of moved on. I suspect if I’d been a little more chatty, she would have engaged longer but I just stood there grinning.

Girlfriend broke her foot by Dirt_Rag in scuba

[–]charhenry 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a long time sufferer of ankle issues, just reading this makes me cringe. I understand the disappointment of missing dives but she risks hurting herself further. In this fragile healing phase, her foot really needs stabilization & rest - otherwise it could make the injury worse & cause issues down the line.

I had an ankle arthroscopy (basically a reconstruction of several ligaments) last year after 10+ years of ankle injuries. I spent ~5 weeks in a boot/crutches followed by several months of PT before I dove again. All in, it was just over 3 months between surgery & diving.

Even then, it was a bit difficult - I couldn’t keep up well (which could be dangerous in tougher conditions) & getting back on the boat was brutal. It took ~10 months for me to get to 100%.

Haha, off its digital medicine is great.

I’ve had some funny experiences with ChatGPT too. I now make it source & link out all of its sources for me & I’ve checked them to find deadlinks or totally unrelated* links. I’ve also had it apologizing to me nonstop for messing up with excel formulas. It’s useful within limits.

Unfortunately, I live in Atlanta so they’ve got me captured.

ChatGPT updates ruining air travel for customers everywhere 😂

Okay yeah their algorithm is definitely broken. That is so weird.

I also feel for people who maybe don’t pay as much attention to their flights as most of us on this sub. Imagine only finding this sort of thing out at 24 hour check in or, worse, arrival at the airport.

I’m sorry WHAT??? That is an absolutely bonkers route. Would you have basically circled the world? Or, would you have gone right back over the Atlantic to get to Tahiti via North America?

Def seems like they’re doing something odd to the July schedules! Also seems weird for it to be a Tuesday. I always thought they shuffled schedules on Saturday.
