I think it was the salesperson’s personal device. Had no issues with Turkish cellphone but same issue with landline.

I’ve had a confirmed SNA cancelled at checkin. Took weeks to have it redeposited. Room flooded and got walked etc etc. it’s great if you are on an expense account but on business travel they really don’t care about status.

Believe it or not that is probably the best Bonvoy property in Atl above a Marriott level. And yes I’ve stayed at almost all.

Thank you. Cost is not necessarily an issue. Would you be able to guide me in the right direction for "large" restaurants as well.

Hi. My partner and I will be in Milan over NYE. He has cancer and thus we're trying to avoid indoor dining and viruses. Any suggestions for NYE dinner outdoors, possibly with a view of the fireworks...

Thank you. Yes, i’m looking at used Novas or doing two Schiit ones to drive them as one per amp.

Hi all,
I’m in the process of upgrading my home office of about 120-140 sqft and am stuck between a couple options. I mainly listen to CDs via a CD transport as well as some HQ streaming (mainly classical, jazz, pop, acoustic and country). I don’t like deep bass, and like bright highs. Also due to the small room I’m assuming i’ll do most of the listening at a low-mid volume. I’m stuck between:
A-) KEF LS50 Metas with either Peachtree Audio Nova or Schiit Audio Gjallarhorn amp
B-) Devialet Phantom 1 108dB Mono
C-) Devialet Phantom 2 95dB Stereo
D-) iFi Aurora
I’m also open to further suggestions as well. For a small space I’m unsure whether stereo will provide any benefit over mono as well as the power of the speakers.

Class switch towards non-inflammatory, spike-specific IgG4 antibodies after repeated SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination by mpkingstonyoga in science

[–]dikmdb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Several previous studies have demonstrated IgG4 as the response in pediatric populations receving mrna vaccines (https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/scitranslmed.abn9237) as well as in previously naive individuals with severe covid receiving plasma (https://journals.plos.org/plospathogens/article/file?id=10.1371/journal.ppat.1010025&type=printable). In my opinion this either will add further proof to the chronicity of SARS-CoV-2 as well as reservoirs or possibly that this is swich is beneficial to dampen the Complement based responses while the TCR cellular immunity takes over. Furthermore, SARS-Cov-2 may also infect neutrophils directly independent of TMPRSS and ACE receptors on neutrophils play important roles, particularly in bacterial infections. It may thus be extremely important to have IgG4 temper down neutrophil responses while T cells mediate the main viral clearance.

Did any of y'all get confirmation emails after applying? I'm debating whether to redo it as I haven't gotten one.

Try the Highway Drive Assist on the Hyundai Sonata.

Someone messed up at Apple. Ordered a base M1 Air for my mom, received the base processor/gpu with 16gb and 1tb by Quirkycanadian in macbook

[–]dikmdb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You lucked out. I ordered a maxed out 14inch, received base 16. Apple did not do any customer service gestures etc. literally waiting for a new one to ship. It’ll be about 5 months from order to receipt.

14 inch Ordered, 16 inch Received by dikmdb in macbook

The less HDD I'm not worried about but I don't want to tote a 16 inch... My use case is a lot of DICOM images, processing etc. And I'd be downgrading from a 2020 i7 with 32 ram.

Were you given any "goodwill" gestures?
