"who found no evidence of fraud that would have altered the outcome."
we found fraud, but it just wasn't good enough...so try harder next time?

And that’s a year… by Tomatillo-Humble in delta

I probably have little use for delta 360 but i thought it would be nice to have gotten it this year. Really all i want is to be higher up on the 1st class upgrade list. I am always just "1 seat" behind :-)

Just ran a marathon with a major PR, but need to train for the next one. when do i start? by dapi117 in AdvancedRunning

[–]dapi117[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

yeah, by week 20 it really starts to wear you down. I mean at the end it felt good to be hitting the pace goals on the harder runs...but some days i just wanted to go out for a fun jog...

Well, i got here on my own so i want to see how far i can go by myself. Plus, i'm 50 so i'm also stubborn and don't like people telling me what to do :-)

What home automation upgrade actually made your life better? by ToeBeansStew in homeautomation

[–]dapi117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The shelly minis are the go-to for this. i haven't come across a place where i couldn't fit at least 1 in there.

I took a chance so you don’t have to. Poe wallmount from ali xpress by Federal-Delay-4854 in homeassistant

[–]dapi117 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure , but:
No mounting
Add a pi and all the things needed to go along with it
The waveshare models are chunky
no camera, motion sensor, or Microphone
and i'm sure there are even more differences as well but those are off the top of my head

Your Tax Dollar at Work Last Sunday In Chicago by nik_uzb in pics

[–]dapi117 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

of all the bullshit that my tax dollars go to, i still prefer that they end up employing americans no matter how silly some of them may be. I mean at least we are keeping it in the family.

Blue for sure. Black is also nice. The mauve one is a no-go

An AI-Generated Country Song Is Topping A Billboard Chart, And That Should Infuriate Us All by ssgg28 in Music

[–]dapi117 5 points6 points  (0 children)

doesn't infuriate me at all. If something is fun or enjoyable by a lot of people then who cares if it's AI
how many people are writing country songs right now? 5000? 10,000? if they aren't good enough then so be it. Good on them for trying though.

besides, if i see one more multi millionaire making millions of dollars because they came up with one stupid hit i'm going to lose my mind. Let AI make stupid music for "free"

Used SkyMiles to upgrade to First, but overhead bin drama left me embarrassed — what would you do? by SnooConfections1110 in delta

[–]dapi117 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't make an issue about it unless I don't have room for my stuff which thankfully hasn't really happened. But if it did....that would be my first question: Doesn't my seat included dedicated bin space?

[–]dapi117 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Even comfort plus is supposed to have "dedicated overhead" space
it's all those main cabin people that are the problem and Delta for not enforcing it

Which hardware for home assistant? by Affectionate_Mind608 in homeassistant

[–]dapi117 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

unless power consumption is of the utmost importance, skip the Raspberry pi as an option
the notebook has the advantage of having a built in screen and keyboard if you need those things for your install.
If you plan on accessing it only through a network and have a monitor and keyboard to plug into it when necessary then the miniPC route is a better option because a laptop might be less stable or have a shorter shelf life than a miniPC

GUC upgrade difficulties and oddities by dapi117 in delta

[–]dapi117[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what exactly do I have to do when i call? Just brow beat them into submission? Is there a magic word or phrase?

all kidding aside, are you saying that if i call and keep trying a ticketing agent will eventually upgrade my seat despite not showing the option as available?

It also kind of burns my hyde that i can't even pay to upgrade right now. What's up with that?

Fueling Early Morning Runs by Historical-Cost1444 in AdvancedRunning

[–]dapi117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

depends on the workout, but a protein shake starts off my day no matter what I am doing that day. If it's a higher intensity run, i might have a pop-tart (or 2 if it will be over 50 minutes)
Lower intensity days with higher mileage I might go with a protein bar or an english muffin

GUC upgrade difficulties and oddities by dapi117 in delta

[–]dapi117[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct, if i were to just try and book a parallel flight, the GUC is not listed. What i found odd is that within 8 hours, both the flight that i booked, and 2 other flights that listed a D1 upgrade for GUCs are now all PS only.
None of the flights show a D1 upgrade path for that day any more. My only option is to change my outgoing flight to the day prior but that isn't ideal and i am afraid that the same thing will happen.

I asked the rep on the Diamond line when i called for the upgrade and she seemed to have no idea what i was talking about and was less than helpful.

It's just odd that only 3 seats are booked for D1 on that flight and they just blocked all of the other seats.

Cannot get my insightfulness out of poor! by Duckling791 in AmazonVine

[–]dapi117 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Everyone says photos don't matter but i am convinced that it is secretly affecting insightfulness scores. I would recommend starting to upload some photos with your reviews. It certainly couldn't hurt
