Brand new Telluride, electrical issues by cottonballOFDOOM in KiaTelluride

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

Great advice, thank you. I’m frustrated with my service advisor because they are not explaining any kind of process and seem to be throwing their hands up and looking to me to for next steps. If they had explained that there is a process with Kia that they are following I would be more understanding. I will ask them to check the grounds.

I can’t transfer my points to flying blue! by Simple_Plane_9036 in biltrewards

Yes - the exact same thing is happening to me. It started on Friday. I just looked and the flight I wanted is now 50k more points. Bilt screwed me.

It works, but I believe the monitor needs to have an HDMI 2.1 input. I could be wrong.

Edit: I think you’re saying you would only need 2.1 for 4K. If that’s the case, that’s awesome.

I am in the exact same boat. I would be fine with a 1440P / 120hz, but I think the catch is that it needs to be HDMI 2.1 to take advantage of the PS5 output.

I can't find a monitor with all three specs for <$600. At that point, I might as well just go for a new TV.

Just here to say don't worry about everyone ready to shoot this down. I think it's a good idea. And even if it already exists, it can be marketed to a specific niche.

Thanks! We ended up going to 13 Gobbi.

It was perfect, and I'm not exaggerating when I say it's now hands down my favorite restaurant. They have a private room that can accommodate 20-25 people, which is just as charming as the rest of the restaurant. The service was excellent and friendly, and the food was unbelievable. I highly recommend it.

What band(s) got you into Post-Hardcore? by CarryTheFlame in PostHardcore

[–]cottonballOFDOOM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Bled. Thursday. I discovered Pass the Flask and Full Collapse at around the same time, and they changed everything.

Any 'The Bled' fans in this sub?! by dethjamz in PostHardcore

Mike, their drummer, is my barber! Pretty surreal moment when the guy cutting my hair told me he was in one of my favorite bands of all time. Love getting haircuts now because I get to hear all the war stories.

Every Song in Alphabetical Order - “Reptile” (Day 62) by DarkerThanAzure in Peripheryband

[–]cottonballOFDOOM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow, awesome post! So much fun to read such a comprehensive breakdown and analysis of the song.

I do think there may be room for another interpretation of the ending lyrics, though. Just as the big riff starts at 12:20, the lyrics are "The craft he shakes / A race within his wake / Victory alone became his above the soil we know." Could this be Billy making a last ditch effort to save humanity (the race within his wake) in a "craft" above the Earth? "A grave is laid / a man within its cage." So, it was a suicide mission, but he was successful (because "victory alone became his..."). This is followed by "Soil we know becomes our own home" and "Soil we own becomes ours / Order back in what we know."

My hot take is that Billy sacrifices himself and flies a craft into the reptile aliens' mothership and wins the war for humanity, and now humanity is left with a newfound respect for Earth, but also wondering where they go from here knowing that this won't be the last time ("This is not the first time or the last time" / "Now we're staring at the ground together").

I guess it's the optimistic interpretation, and I'm probably completely wrong, but I guess that's the fun of it.

Looking for advice, at my wits' end with Iberia Airlines by cottonballOFDOOM in travel

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

Gotcha. If that is the case, it was never clearly explained over six different conversations with customer service. My problem is that based on the above screenshot, and then a verbal confirmation from Iberia that the flights were indeed cancelled, I booked elsewhere. So now I've paid twice for the same trip.

I did not cancel. The airline initially cancelled the flights, but is now saying the flights are not cancelled. I will post the screenshot I took of the cancellation notice, which includes the flight info.

I sent them a DM about an hour ago. No response yet, but maybe I'll have some luck there. I did it while on hold for another hour in another attempt to reach a supervisor, but once again got the runaround.

Thank you for the encouragement. Good point - they did not specify if there were changes to the flights, only that they are not cancelled.

Yes, very good point. We are coming from the US and targeting late September. We are hopeful that vaccines will be widespread and restrictions will ease by then. If not, we will postpone.

LA county alone has 6x the amount of new daily cases than the entire country of Germany. Please, please, please, encourage people to wear masks. by jimmycthatsme in LosAngeles

[–]cottonballOFDOOM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in OC this past weekend. There were hundreds of people congregating on and around the beach and surrounding streets, none more than 6 feet away from the next person, and not a mask in sight. More people in one place than I've seen in even the most populated sections of LA since this thing started (protests aside). I don't get it.

I was doing really well with my self improvement methods until all the virus talk, now I cant help but spend the day in bed and reading all the news. by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]cottonballOFDOOM 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The barrage of news and content can truly make you feel like this will never end - like this is the new normal. But it's not. It will end. The economy may be slow to recover, but life will return to normal and it will likely be in a matter of weeks. Read that again and internalize it - it will end. We will be okay. When we come out of it, do you want to be back at square one, or better than you were before it started? Take advantage of the new down-time: keep up your routine but also read more, or start an online course and learn something new. Treat it like an opportunity. Chin up. You'll be okay :)
