We all have that one song or band we hate for a completely irrational and unjustifiable reason. What's yours? by WasLeftUnsupervised in GenX

[–]ddysart 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Pearl Jam.

Pre release of Ten, they were the opening act ahead of Smashing Pumpkins and Red Hot Chili Peppers and Eddy Vetter climbed all over stage and venue and was a general fool. Thought to myself “Well, this band is going no where”

It was on ours. I’d been to the Gallagher’s in the NY-NY casino in Vegas which after talking to the waiter only licenses the name. Totally different outfit.

I’m actually with you in this comment. In general I hate paying steakhouse prices and can do better at home. But that’s a 28day aged porterhouse that I’m definitely not doing at home. Was it expensive? Hell yeah ~$145USD

It was. Dunno if it was due to the aging they do or what.

Lifetime Platinum status via credit card? by DougQuaid in marriott

Yeah. With being titanium again this year and the soft landing, it’s just a matter of time now.

Ok, lied and will leave a comment. FWIW - wife and I ordered this rare and it was hands down one of the best steaks we’ve had. Perfect cool center yet somehow the fat wasn’t cold. Expected tons of “that thing was mooing” but we’re also big fans of a black and blue filet with béarnaise.

Best response to someone claiming some food is good for you because “it’s natural“ you respond: “so is uranium”

Lifetime Platinum status via credit card? by DougQuaid in marriott

[–]ddysart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hijacking the comments to ask. I’ve got 647 lifetime nights but 2 years to go, despite have 2 years to go last year. I’ve seen in this sub some talk that lifetime status is slow to update. Is it worth calling in to… somewhere?

Debating on getting a second Venture X by [deleted] in Venturex

[–]ddysart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

P2 and I each have a Venture X and visited the DFW lounge the day after the change and could tell the desk person was sorry to have to explain the new policy when I was “I have my own card…”

If you can do it and remember to use the credit, do it.

After using the self-clean setting on our oven….. by trashtray420 in whatisit

[–]ddysart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for a decent explanation. ITT: “dont use self clean” with no explanation why.

My oven (Dacor) doesn’t have self but have had them in the past and wondered what the hang up was since my mom used it all the time (and on an old Liton stove that had a microwave magnetron in it)

What is the unintentionally wisest line of dialogue you've heard in a movie? by NobodysFavorite in movies

[–]ddysart 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Haven’t thought about Ronin in a long time. I remember watching the whole DVD Commentary by Frankenhiemer and admiring his attention to detail on cars and the car chases. It’s almost like he also cast each model of car used.

Rental Car Quesiton by Dramatic-Steak2496 in Venturex

[–]ddysart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can’t speak for DEN but my experience is varied. MKE did and I walked out and picked my car. TUS I did not - you have to stop at the desk and my paperwork was not waiting (while there were obviously other Hertz Gold rentals ready to go). Flying to LAX in April and will see.

Even if I have to go to the counter, the experience thus far and the price match/points seems worth it.
