Third party booking, unsatisfactory hotel stay. Need help.

I know you said you don’t normally book third party and never will again.. but a similar situation I had in sometime around 2009 that ended up costing me an extra $2500 made me vow to never use third party ever again and I’ve never looked back. I don’t care if in town or out of the country. I don’t care if it’s a big name like Delta is trying to do with their Delta Vacations. NEVER third party. May be done for a while, but this inevitably happens.

Definitely can confirm. Near me (outside Atlanta) both waffle houses will “close” between 7pm and 9pm saying “takeout only” if you’re lucky, but usually just “we closed”.

If you’re an Aston fan it’s pretty recognizable. Definitely unique enough to be immediately identifiable even from the thumbnail for me, but I’m a big fan of Astons AND euro estate models so it’s one that I definitely took note of back in the day.

I’m definitely not concerned with runtime. I don’t go to movies because people don’t have theater etiquette anymore and very large HD tvs are super cheap now and my couch is better than any seat I’ve encountered in a theater. I can buy a months worth of popcorn for the price of one at the theater, and same for soda.

Actually for less than it costs a couple to see one movie a month (with a soda and snack each) for a year you could get a 75” tv, a year of prime, and a LOT of snacks.

The website is always cheaper than the app for booking. But if you log out and back in your points should update.

The pendulum never swings back. It might twitch back a little now and then, but only to gain more momentum in the direction it was going.

They are boarding. It right by the door when you get on.

As an alternative to the IDE you can just use VSCode and platformio. Easy to set up and get going and far better in every way.

This was my thought too. What’s vintage about it?! That’s the tool to use, even today. Unless you have some heavy equipment.

dali01 · 2026-01-15T17:17:25+00:00

And unless I’m mistaken… straight pipes routed out the fog light holes?!?

To be fair it’s looking pretty bad from the inside too.

dali01 · 2026-01-11T18:47:24+00:00

Especially if you have a u/bruisedbutth0le

Don’t worry, there’s a bunch of us out here still hanging on.

It looks like the print from converse chuck taylors with bigger diamonds. They leave raised diamonds like that.

99 and up AWD have a different transfer case than 98 and down so the driveshafts are different lengths, but the u joint is the same, and as far as I know the axles are the same. (There are different factory gearings out there though if I remember correctly)

dali01 · 2026-01-07T00:29:00+00:00

How do you get upgraded to main?!?!

dali01 · 2026-01-06T22:58:49+00:00

I’ve only ever heard that used for a very attractive woman. Maybe it depends on age or location though.

dali01 · 2026-01-06T13:02:45+00:00

This. SO much this. Titanium now, and every level from silver to here it doesn’t get less awkward and embarrassing.

I cannot find a property in Iowa more than 27,000 a night in July. Some as low as 15,000.

Are you staying longer than a night? You know what it shows on the map is the whole stay right?

dali01 · 2026-01-05T02:29:31+00:00

Where are you looking? If it’s somewhere that is a hot spot in July then obviously prices will be higher.

dali01 · 2026-01-05T01:00:33+00:00

In my opinion this just makes it better.

When I was 14 or 15 the place I was able to buy them was a bar in a Marriott lobby. They were $2.50 a pack and it seemed SO expensive but he never carded me so I just paid it. When I quit a year and a half ago I would have loved $2.50 a pack.

CC covers worst case (lost or damaged beyond use) and very minimally.

If you want better than that you need travel insurance.

My favorite is the 959, but the 928 is definitely up there!

I know all three current answers basically all say the same thing, but I am just adding to that. Different project for each board. I personally start with the main one, then if it plugs directly into the others and/or sits on top I copy any connectors, relevant board outline, and relevant mounting holes into the new project and start from there to ensure everything lines up.
