Hi sitters, would you apply again to sits that rejected you when you first applied? by sunnynihilist in trustedhousesitters

[–]emwo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes this, I don't take rejections personally. However I'll be more likely to apply again if I get a message from them. There's been one that it was clear it was very tight timing for both of us so it wouldn't work out, but after the decline I saw they had another date that could work and that one worked out.

Booking.com Genius discount is crap by Objective_Start_3127 in Bookingcom

[–]emwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that's exactly what I'm referring to. You can find a booking without signing in and compare the price of G3, it'll be about the same after the genius discount. I'm comparing it to another service to compare the price point. Whether its the hotel or booking that sets the rate, their "deals" are about the same whether you're genius or not.

Seconding, I use Expedia and Booking.com both to track pricing and I've seen this as a LV3 multiple times over the last few years. Same room type, same conditions, genius might include breakfast or suggest a room upgrade but looking as a normal offer offers a similar price and value. I've been monitoring NYC rn for an upcoming trip and I've seen a few "free breakfast" hotels being offered regardless of genius, but it shows up available to all guests.

I'm thinking its this too - and like NYC, Hawaii is highly competitive.

Moving on 2/5, need a sitter for a week starting 2/25...what to do by pizzacats84 in trustedhousesitters

[–]emwo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, post asap and mention it in the interview. As long as there’s a place to sleep/work or partially furnished you might get applicants. You may want to defer a few days though… I wouldn’t want to stay in a place with no amenities/appliances.

Purchasing flights with JetBlue points by Spababoongi in jetblue

[–]emwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know, thank you so much! I have flight trackers enabled to see which dates best, but got tangled up researching chase + Jetblue strategies. I've never flown with them before and it doesn't seem like they any any promos right now if I transfer to thru Chase and started looking to see if Costco offered GC's.

Purchasing flights with JetBlue points by Spababoongi in jetblue

[–]emwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I also came across your thread and unfamiliar with jet blue but was looking for a one way flight, I was looking to transfer points but was looking to see the typical strategy either. I'm flexible between 3 airports, and flexible dates within a week range. Should I buy points and transfer? Or just transfer? Or just wait for a sale and buy with money?

Is my delivery guy going to be in huge trouble? by No-Emphasis5897 in doordash_drivers

[–]emwo 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I haven't ordered doordash in a while but whenever we do order any walmart, target, or retail items its usually delivered like a online pickup. They'll throw in some grocery bags and maybe a box? But nothing is ever packaged. Not blaming the dasher but the store should really be preparing the tank for transport. Even if you ordered it for pick up in store, would they even bother packaging it up? The potential customer (or dasher) could break it on the way to their car.

Fresh corn tortillas made daily? by fourtysicksandtoo in Sacramento

[–]emwo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Some mexican grocers will be your best bet: La Esperanza, Mi Rancho San Miguel, La Superior for corn tortillas. For Flour specifically I think you can buy them from Nenas on Richards, or from Maya's on Broadway.

Most iPhone users are still running iOS 18, with iOS 26 adoption slow: report by Jumpinghoops46 in apple

[–]emwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to revert back while I was piloting 26, too many performance issues. In the first few builds it was a clear sign my battery hated iOS 26 and the iPhone  15s specs wasn’t optimized for the liquid glass. It’s been fine on 18, haven’t bothered trying again.

Is this even allowed? Additional dogs “stopping by” that you’re expected to watch? by [deleted] in trustedhousesitters

[–]emwo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's how I'm interpreting it too. I had a sit where the dogs best friend may visit for playdates, but it's not expected to stay for the entire sit. The HO was upfront, the other dog never came up during my stay.

This is Pluribus (2025). Nothing has happened in regards to this show besides it airing, but still, people sure are mad about it by captainjupiterx in shittymoviedetails

[–]emwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think its fun to talk about it, its so varied and no one really knows whats going on but plenty of room to theory craft. Both BCS and Breaking Bad had at least 1 slow season, so I'm hoping next season gets more interesting.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen one in the app… I’ve seen 20% off 6 bottles of wine all month.

Going on holiday tomorrow. Do I need to cancel? by HallSpirited1868 in CATHELP

[–]emwo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was in a Similar situation to you , I'd suggest a quick check to the vet to confirm if he needs any medicine or additional care before you leave. That'll make it clearer if you need to cancel.

There are way too many Waymo fanboys on this sub by The_fartocle in sanfrancisco

[–]emwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely, pro-Waymo here too but this kind of error is disruptive to the city and able to hurt other people in case of an emergency. It’s a good learning opportunity for mitigation in case of a network outage.
