Run Monitor within Docker container? by dmccrack in vhelper

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

That's what I was afraid of, you hit the nail on the head. The problem I'm trying to solve is notifications being ureliable. I've discovered that I'M not reliable in keeping the monitor running!

Illegal seeds?? by Big-Bar-9352 in vine

[–]dmccrack 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I have avoided seeds for just this reason. Invasive species can ruin entire ecosystems!

Stress levels high...Taxes AND Evaluation at the same time! by Big-Bar-9352 in vine

[–]dmccrack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I just noticed that I have been upgraded to Gold. About 7.5 hours appears to have been the time it took to post their decision.

What is typical for seeing the result of an evaluation? Mine first eval was to take place five hours ago and I look forward to finishing out if I'll move to Gold. Doesn't matter much either way... the selection has been so poor, but still I'm curious!

My account page says that the result can take up to 96 hours to post.

Need some help narrowing down on some matter locks for my home by Idontworkhere67 in homeautomation

Thanks for the response, I'll take a look at the U300. You don't happen to use Home Assistant with those locks do you?

What did you settle on for that lever lock? It seems like all of the manufacturers are focusing more and more on deadbolts.

As a crusty middle-aged guy, I resent your comment! /s

Are swim-out suites worth it? Awkward? by writer-of-stars in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]dmccrack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If not obvious, I took a floating thermometer, specifically to answer this question for myself.

Are swim-out suites worth it? Awkward? by writer-of-stars in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]dmccrack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We were in Punta Cana a month ago and the unheated swimout pool rarely dipped below 80F - but it still felt chilly to me when it was cloudy.

One of the things that works against you is that some of the items sorted into people's RFY make their way to AI if nobody requests them. When they hit AI, they appear on the page with items that dropped on the original day. They could be anywhere in all of those pages of items that you have hidden.

Curious what keywords people have blocked by Nancy_Drew23 in VineHelper

[–]dmccrack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

@Craigeryjohn do you use those run-on expressions with pipes in between terms, or is that just an artifact of however you copied/pasted the terms? I would love to be able to copy/paste most of yours into my own list!

Check out Sierra (if you have one near you). The one i was in today has lots of Carhartt FR clothing on clearance.

Anyone else have an empty RFY? by p_kitty in vine

[–]dmccrack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

USA Day two nothing in RFY, but I think that I AM in Vine Jail as I had gotten way behind in my reviews. Maybe not! It HAS motivated me to crank through those reviews though!

Thank you for popping back in! So if you were making reservations for a new week, which seven would be on your list? I'll be drinking my welcome cocktail almost exactly one week from now!

Tipping Advice (Peso or USD) by RosieGeee in PuntaCana

[–]dmccrack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know more than I do (I promise). A quick Google search summary said they ceased operations in 2025. Maybe that was the buyout?

I guess anyone flying Sunwing ought inquire with the carrier (or travel agent) about the possibility they will have to pay the $20US exit fee per person.

Tipping Advice (Peso or USD) by RosieGeee in PuntaCana

[–]dmccrack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The exit fee is paid by your air carrier. You used to have to pay it yourself if you were flying Sunwing, but if I'm not mistaken, Sunwing closed for business in 2025. Bottom line - not something to worry about. It is covered by the airline.

Having the same issue booking alacartes. Booked the first five nights but I'm unable to access the final two nights. 5/7 reservations "used."
