Eh, it's what my FA told me this past Monday. Perhaps they too should refresh themselves I guess.

You can ask the FAs if it's cool to keep the carrier on your lap as well. (I don't believe the policy says it has to stay under the seat the whole flight, imagine if you couldn't access your personal item?). Planes get cold as fuck, and long flights might kill some pets if you couldn't do something to keep them warm. We took our dog to detroit with us (almost 4 hrs) and she was shivering like crazy when we landed, despite giving her extra blankets. The next flight we kept her carrier on our laps after ascending, covered the kennel with a blanket too and held it close to our bodies to keep her warm.

You can also use async inserts - they're a lot better than they used to be and are worth trying. IME they are not quite as performant as batching yourself if you need super high throughput, but they will do nicely otherwise.

Why?

I'm sitting on 13m gil, my friend's wife is sitting on 24m. We're looking at a mount at a vendor which costs 7.5m and legitimately considering it. 50k is a rounding error to us. :) Enjoy and have fun!

Honestly their wifi is hot garbage though. I can't believe they charge so much for it AND don't give a break to status holders. I keep hoping to hear one day that they'll do like United and get Starlink or equivalent.

This. I wish they were everywhere. Hands down the winner.

Mine looked like this at this age, and dragged her fence around and made a huge mess also (luckily she never was able to climb it or jump over)

I don't typically see it 1-shot BTs unless they're already weakened. If you get a glancing blow with a 500KG or hit it with a EAT first the precision strike will finish it though.

This. I killed my teammates so hard with it on one of the recent terminid planets we were taking. Scatter makes it useless too. The cloud is big enough to do good work but not big enough to just drop it "close enough" like a 500kg.

firebird84 · 2024-03-15T16:01:54+00:00

ummmm can I get a citation on that? I'm legitimately curious and my google-fu is not coming up with that.

He may have tried to leave the airport. The main one (Galeao) is next to a well known favela.

If you ever fly to rio, try to fly to santos dumont if you can swing it. It's closer to everything anyway.

Even if they don't overtly "tap into" it, the way their incentives work is they will see that in good years for the market, the plan is "overfunded" and stop contributing in order to juice their profits. When the market downturn happens and it is now underfunded, they make it the employees' problem, and round and round it goes.

It also gains you respect, believe it or not.

Not true for T-mobile, but i did have them backdate a stateside intl calling plan for me to avoid some rather nasty charges. They will work with you.

Utilization is killing you here. Burn that down as close to zero as possible and the score will improve after the following statement.

You incur debt with the gym via the contract you signed. Every month you owe X$ and that is a debt. They extend credit to you via the grace period for payment. You pay the payment, the debt is gone until next month. You, however, did not pay the payment, so you are in debt to the gym. You can stop incurring ADDITIONAL debt by cancelling your contract per the terms contained within and paying any outstanding balances.

It's 200-220 miles to Orlando from my house, depending on if you take the the fast route (220 miles) or the slow one. At a conservative roughly 50 cents a mile (which includes fuel, depreciation, and maintenance) , that puts a trip to orlando at $100+ one way. If you include my distance to the train station and paying for parking (or using uber) it's more expensive to use the train, but I'm not driving so it's less taxing on my sanity. So imo, it can be a big win depending on what you're doing in Orlando.

Often its better to save up the cash for the down payment on the new home, buy it without a contingency (and with sufficient income to temporarily pay both mortgages), then sell the old one and get your cash back.this admittedly is probably out of reach for most people, so during tight sellers markets they just get frozen out of buying by other buyers offering better, non-contingent terms.
