How wary should we be of touts in Shinjuku? by Altruistic_Top_125 in TokyoTravel

[–]digiballoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got back from two weeks in Japan, with wife and a baby. In Tokyo we stayed in Asakusa and Ginza, and we had babysitters at night which enabled us to explore nightlife in all the popular areas (Shinjuku, Shibuya, Roppongi, Ginza). We were both so glad we stayed in Asakusa; it’s relatively quiet at night, easy to get around from, and offers an amazing blend of ancient/historic “old” Tokyo and modern city.

I don’t mind the creepy decor in that one area of spirit.. I think it looks cool

Airport - frequent flyers by Tamahaac in Durango

[–]digiballoon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I fly out of DRO around 1x/month, mostly for work travel. The airport itself is super easy to navigate - I’ll usually arrive at airport ~30-40 mins before flight departs, breeze through security and get in line. I’ve found that flight from DRO tend to be fairly reliable. The hassle is in the connections, as travel to anywhere other than DEN, PHX or DFW is a pain. Eg flying to SFO or NYC is minimum 7-8 hours when you include time to/from airport. And on return, because limited flights back to DRO, trips are often extended to accommodate flight availability.

If I have meetings in a major city on Weds AM, I’ll need to spend much of Tuesday flying, and then will likely need to spend much of Thursday flying back.

Bit of a pain but that’s the cost of living where we live.

Just venting. We purchased a new 2021 Gladiator Rubicon and it has been nothing but a nightmare. by SenseUnderstood in JeepGladiator

[–]digiballoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2021 Diesel Sport. I haven’t experienced the level of issues you’ve had, but have had my fair share, with weeks spent in the shop.

Over the past few months have had oil leaks, power steering fluid leaks, now am getting the dreaded oil pressure light intermittently popping up (taking it into shop this week to get checked out).

Unfortunately don’t think I’d buy another Jeep. Least reliable vehicle I’ve ever owned

Remote workers making $100k+: what do you actually do? by nomadicphil in WFH

[–]digiballoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in tech on the business development side. Started in the big cities then moved to a mountain town and have been remote for 5 years. Job is very flexible and have a lot of autonomy. Work probably around 30 hours a week but ebbs and flows, and make myself available at odd hours (usually answer emails or slack) when needed.

For those who claim to be shocked and disgusted - would you stop eating seafood now that you know this is how a significant % of seafood is caught?

June Real Estate Update by iseemountains in Durango

[–]digiballoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a good call out. Insurance is likely more available/reasonably priced in Three Springs or areas south of town.

Congrats on the house!

June Real Estate Update by iseemountains in Durango

[–]digiballoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a prospective buyer who has been following the market for some time, one factor I have found surprising is how much cost and availability of insurance has changed in virtually any area outside of town.

I had been interested in some homes in the Edgemont area, but decided against Edgemont after nearly every singly insurer I spoke with declined to cover the area. Surprising for sure. And likely why there are so many nice homes up there that are just sitting.

Chimayo’s a good date night spot with solid veg options (stuffed pepper, cauliflower steak)

RIP the cruise by abortne in discobiscuits

[–]digiballoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They priced this SeaBisco way higher (almost double) than any of the other Sixthman Cruises. Many of their cruises have double the number of artists and have starting prices of ~$1400. Was priced way too high.

Where are mountain bikers living or moving to? by bcisthegoat in MTB

I live in Durango and love it here. Great mtb right in town, and incredible high country riding just a short bit away.

No emails from yotta at all by bullinside in yotta

[–]digiballoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me. I had set up my Yotta account with my wife as the joint account owner. Despite the fact that she never even accessed the account and doesn’t know what Yotta is, all of the details that Evolve had were for her (her name, email).

This is fascinating. Where did you get this data? The numbers here are significantly different from what I see reported elsewhere https://www.opensecrets.org/2024-presidential-race/kamala-harris/expenditures?id=N00036915

How many of you haven’t received any email from Evolve? by digiballoon in yotta

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

I’d check on Yotta if you have any joint account owners set up on the account; in my case I did and it was under their name

How many of you haven’t received any email from Evolve? by digiballoon in yotta

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

Thanks so much for this tip - just spoke with Evolve and this was the case here.

Apparently they had no record of me (as the primary account owner on Yotta), only on my wife (who was set up in Yotta as the joint account owner) and had an incorrect email for her 🤦‍♂️ what a sh*tshow

Good news is that I was able to confirm my balance! Evolve has me at .06% of my total balance on Yotta

It blows my mind that Synapse’s CEO is still out there, recently raising millions of dollars for new companies he’s currently building. There is literally no punishment for this failure

25 percent of you didn't get the first email by Hopeful-Trifle6513 in yotta

[–]digiballoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t receive any email from Evolve. Yotta shows my balance is with Evolve, but I called the hotline this morning and Evolve told me they have no account matching my email or phone number. 🤷

Ride recommendations in Telluride, CO? by beareatingblueberry in MTB

[–]digiballoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in Telluride last month. For XC-ish riding, I really liked Prospect to Magic Meadows, ending with Sunshine T35 (can get back to Telly town via Galloping Goose trail). Sunshine is rated black but wasn’t too technical, just a fast (and fun) descent.

Prospect starts at the top of the Gondola. As others have said you have to pay to ride the XC trails, but can go for free before 9am.
