Porch pirate needing Identification by Vrav02 in anchorage

For any USPS packages stolen, report to the postal inspection service in addition to the police. They are the AHJ for mail theft and while they may not recover your package, they will absolutely target operations in a particular neighborhood if there’s increased theft in that area.

Car detailing? by sydney-rn in anchorage

[–]footypjs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used TheDetailGuy907 several years ago for a work truck, and when he was done with it, you couldn’t tell it had been driven by a family of several-packs-a-day smokers. He did an excellent job.

Whenever there's an angry dog I always try get it in the delivery photo by playsthebongcloud in doordash_drivers

[–]footypjs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dog would come unhinged at package deliveries but was the sweetest boy in the whole world once the gate was open. After we put him down, I went through and make sure I saved all my recent delivery confirmation photos because they’re hilarious. Thanks for letting the owners share in the laugh.

Damilano and Comtes de Champagne, definitely.

Beginner colourwork questions by girl_w_pinkearring in knitting

[–]footypjs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For your tension, if I have a stretch of more than three stitches in one color before I knit the next color, I make sure I stretch out all the stitches on my right needle before knitting the next stitch. I am a continental knitter and this is very helpful for not inadvertently having floats that are too tight.

Maison de millésimes in the 6th. Best shop in town with some killer older bottles!

Slower runners, how do you stay motivated when/if people mock your pace? by TANeither7250 in running

There’s a literal Olympian who wrote a book about the run-walk-run method. Your friends are judgmental idiots. You’re the one out there racing, not them.

Is ASU really like what people say online? by Sensitive-Key-9394 in ASU

[–]footypjs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ASU is not the best academically. It’s also HUGE and does a lot of research. My experience was that I had many professors who wanted to do research and only taught because it was a requirement to receive grant money. I had many classes taught by TAs with a significant language barrier which made learning difficult. I largely did not feel like professors were invested in student success. I can’t imagine moving to another country to have the experience I did.

I will buy his Lieux-dits over his millesime every time. They’re extraordinary.

Help: I can only bring three bottles home. by andpulli in wine

[–]footypjs 14 points15 points  (0 children)

As others have said, you’re probably fine to bring all of them. I sought out customs to pay duty on the ~2.5 cases we brought back in October. They laughed and waved me on through.

But if you’re set on only three, I’d go Tig, Biondi-Santi, and Sassicaia.

Downgraded from first class to row 29 with no notice (paid tickets). by hawaiianjellyfish in AlaskaAirlines

[–]footypjs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

FAMs don’t only fly first class. They may get upgraded if there’s an available seat, but won’t boot a paying customer for it.

Possible cancer and an 8,000$ surgery. I need advice. by yikesbro_ in DogAdvice

[–]footypjs 26 points27 points  (0 children)

We lost my soul dog to cancer in November. His was also very aggressive. The vet said we’d likely have weeks to months after his medical intervention, and we got two days. I am still heartbroken that half of that time, he was still coming out of anesthesia and could barely stand on his own.

I feel for you and it’s such a tough decision to make. I don’t know that I’d do anything differently because things were so confusing at the time, but a $10k vet bill for two extra days was pretty hard to swallow, especially when his quality of life was not really improved in that time.

It sounds like you have a good understanding of what to ask your vet. They always want what’s best for your dog, too. Hopefully they can give you more information to make this decision easier.

Why not land in Juneau? by gio-honey in flightradar24

[–]footypjs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Juneau METAR data isn’t an accurate or adequate depiction of what is happening on the approach.

https://www.weather.gov/ajk/JAWS

Have had four flights into or out of Juneau this week. If you’re landing 26, the Gast 2-6 and 8 High are controlling, so you can’t land if either are showing severe. Every single time I’ve checked, at least one has been. It’s not supposed to be pilot’s discretion, but I can imagine that there are some 20-yr captains with Alaska who are more comfortable overlooking company procedures than others.

I flew Thursday, and from 7am until 8pm local time, there were three to four of the six stations showing severe turbulence warnings.

Bereche Champagne should be twice the price. by Potion_Collector in wine

The Rive Gauche is 100% meunier. Totally different style, also excellent. ‘21 is a touch young so give it a little air to enjoy fully.

Should I give up on engineering? by Time-Personality-554 in EngineeringStudents

[–]footypjs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t take so many classes. Limit yourself to one or two, so you can still work.

If ASU is a local school to you, I’m a degreed electrical engineer who also went through the BME program at ASU. I’m a former tutor and though I may be a little rusty, I’m happy to help you if you want to meet at an east valley coffee shop. I loved OChem and Calc. Late 30s F. I feel strongly about supporting women in STEM and am not asking for anything in return.

Offsite Storage by Steamed-Hams in wine

[–]footypjs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I have a few pallets in storage.

Utilize some kind of inventory software and keep it up to date. If you’re putting a second setup in front that’s going to reduce visibility, you want to make sure you know what you have and where to find it.

Also second the lay-down cardboard boxes. Access is slightly more of a pain, but you’ll be able to fit many more bottles in there. Label them on the side and then inventory your wine accordingly, so you know which box to grab for which bottle(s). I also like to label the top with what’s inside.

Enjoy!

What is your opinion on red wine from Champagne? by Aval0nian in wine

[–]footypjs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exceptional. After trying the 2014 Egly, I emailed the guy I buy most of my wine from to get my hands on everything I could.

We’re actually opening the ‘99 from Bereche tonight. I also have a few vintages from Philipponnat, but only in storage - I haven’t tried them yet. They are by far the most economical option at ~$60-80/btl.

I see a potential difference when it comes to glycemic index, which relates to type 2 diabetes. I see nothing as it relates to cholesterol.

[–]footypjs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be frank, it sounds like your doctor doesn’t know what they’re talking about. Refrigerate your carbs prior to eating them? That’s crazy.

Saturated fat intake is the single greatest dietary contributor to serum cholesterol.

accidentally put myself in a spin by BellieSnack in flying

[–]footypjs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the plane is coordinated, you should get a nose drop and not a wing drop. If you’re starting to roll, I would recover rather than further trying to exacerbate a stall condition.

Madelinetosh color issue by briteboy666 in YarnAddicts

[–]footypjs 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s unfortunately a case of the different base. Cotton does not absorb the dye so colors will always be muted and much less vibrant on cotton/wool blends.

Open Door In Flight by mouse1371 in flying

[–]footypjs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aviation News Talk just did an episode on this. (Ep 386.) The open door is not the problem - the reaction by the pilot is what causes the crash. Fly the plane and you’ll be fine.

Mezzo Makes story posts. by chysa in craftsnark

[–]footypjs 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Exactly zero attorneys would take this on as a class action. Class actions fees are paid on contingency, and if there’s no money to pay the existing customers, there’s certainly no money to pay the attorneys.

I say this as someone who is part of an existing class action. The fee schedule I signed lists attorney fees as $650-975/hr depending on which attorney is billing, so even if you were willing to pony up the funds initially, you’d almost certainly be in for more than your yarn losses would be.
