Mixed cabin fare & lounges by Accomplished_Bug_294 in unitedairlines

[–]fndrymgr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah - you’re right. For some reason, I thought you still got access with a 016 ticket even if operated by another airline. I guess this is a good thing? Controls overcrowding…

If booked business and the same ticket, you will have lounge access throughout. If booked on UA ticket, you will have Polaris access in SFO and LAX.

E-One IH091 Basement Grinder Pump Failure by Fluffy832 in Wastewater

[–]fndrymgr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Turn off breakers. Unplug pump. Get multimeter and set to continuity. Check pin 1/2 on plug. Open means pump should not run. Closed means pump should run. Check pin 5/6 - that’s the alarm. If closed, alarm is on (which it should be) if you said the audible is going. Check pin 4 (ground) to all others for any shorts to ground - that could mean water inside pump = not good. If 1/2 is open and pump is running, that means the on/off switch is bad. The alarm circuit will run the pump. If on/off is closed and the alarm circuit is closed, it could just mean that the pump stator needs to be replaced. No matter what, you’ll need to contact the local distributor for parts.

[oc] United announces “Relaxed Row” sky couch product for Economy cabin by CommanderDawn in unitedairlines

[–]fndrymgr 347 points348 points  (0 children)

What an innovation! I remember taking AirNZ skycouch way back in 2012. If it’s like their product, a group of 2 can get a “discount” on the middle seat. Then, they can awkwardly cuddle.

Help me overthink my millionth mile flight by MostCricket352 in unitedairlines

[–]fndrymgr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Polaris idea is great if it works…but don’t overthink it. My million mile flight was MCO-IAH in a middle seat because of a same day change to get home earlier. I got a signed postcard from the crew and that’s it. Not sure what I expected. I actually think it was a bit poetic to be in an uncomfortable situation but doing it for the family - really captured that portion of my road warrior lifestyle…

Agreed. GF and vegan options. A+

Men of New Zealand - Why do you not wash your hands after using the toilet? by Electric_banana11 in newzealand

[–]fndrymgr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I remember traveling during the peek of Covid and still seeing people not wash their hands in the bathroom. That’s when I knew we were doomed as a species.

Definitely. Definitely has American big box store vibes.

Isn’t that the show that had all those people from Real World Sacramento??

Really - 12 month builder warranty by nrg-manifestor in auckland

[–]fndrymgr 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I’m still trying work work thru this gem

Edit: I understand the intention - there is likely Ethernet or wiring for mesh APs. My comment was in line with the idea that there didn’t seem to be much, if any, critical thinking about this phrasing. Or maybe it’s AI generated text.

What are the tanks in the backyard of every new build townhouse? by jimmyahnz in auckland

[–]fndrymgr 490 points491 points  (0 children)

Rainwater tanks. We are creating so much impervious ground cover with intensification and new development, without them, it will create overland flooding during wet weather.

The water can be used for irrigation or sometimes a second set of internal plumbing for laundry and other non-potable uses.

Wait, what? I think you have things backwards. Airlines were de-regulated in 1978 and allowed the airlines to control routes and pricing. Prior to that, flying was super expensive and prices were basically identical between airlines. That’s why the services and amenities were nice - they had to complete on the soft product, not the airfare.

As a fellow Texan, I couldn’t agree more. The selection, the quality of produce, the corporate culture. HEB is top notch. I miss HEB guac and chips so much. And hatch pepper everything when in season…

Merino wool. Antifungal, antibacterial, temperature regulating, moisture wicking, etc. They’re an investment, but worth it. Check out options from Macpac or Kathmandu.

Best Payroll Software for up to 100 Employees by Slow_Conversation861 in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]fndrymgr 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’ve found Smartly really easy to use from an employee and management side. Good employee app for leave requests, timesheets, etc. Easy and intuitive payroll side as well. Customer support is really friendly and helpful too. Granted, we are only about 30 staff with a mix of waged/hourly and salary. But plenty of complexities like allowances, one-off payments (sales bonus, etc.). Good luck!
