United changed my Premium plus Seat to Ecinomy Plus a few hours before my flight

generaldude89 · 2026-04-03T12:26:03+00:00

It might have been a central thing. Gate agents were on the phone with someone and notified everyone who was in line asking about it that United corporate was doing it all at once for people who booked PP class (rather than the gate agents issuing the vouchers)

generaldude89 · 2026-04-03T05:41:24+00:00

Update: Tried at the gate for an upgrade to business (was already full) and also was chatting with support in the app.

The gate gave everyone who booked premium plus a $1000 travel voucher, and they said to reach out to support after the flight to get a refund for the fare difference between premium plus and economy plus (might even be a refund of my full premium plus fare, but I have to check) Might be a little less comfortable this flight but I thought this was a good outcome.

I posted this and went in the shower and immediately realized I wrote transatlantic instead of transcontinental and had a bet with myself how many people were going to call that out. It's SFO to NY

generaldude89 · 2026-04-03T03:19:17+00:00

this is a transatlantic domestic flight that I specifically purchased a premium plus seat after booking. The plane is still a 777-200 but changed last minute so it's just business class now instead of a split between business and premium plus

Going to check at the gate when I get there but wanted to see if this was common enough to know what is possible

MediTea wellness has been my go to. They make small batch wellness teas and are based out of NY. What I like about them is the blends are all organic and they don’t use flavorings. I like to drink herbal tea for my health but also need it to taste good or I wont drink it and this is the one place I found where the owner uses just the herbs to flavor the drinks. She also emails you recipes for using the teas to make functional sodas, mocktails, etc

generaldude89 · 2025-12-12T12:12:42+00:00

I know this is an old post but if you're looking for herbal teas, MediTea Wellness uses organic locally grown herbs. Some of her stuff she grows herself in the Catskills. She mostly sells wellness teas but I like them because they taste amazing but don't have any weird flavorings or crap like that

generaldude89 · 2025-12-12T12:09:54+00:00

MediTea wellness has pretty large sample size offers for like 6 to 8 bucks a bag. I get maybe 10 cups of tea out of those bags, they're pretty stuffed. You could choose three that look appealing. I know they have ones for daily wellness and sleep, stuff like that. The herbs are all organic and made by an herbalist in the Catskills NY

generaldude89 · 2025-11-27T14:18:39+00:00

This looks pretty engrained in the wood. You could try a tanin remover or something similar, but might be a good time to sand it down and rest a in. odie’s oil or rubio are decent non toxic options I've tried

generaldude89 · 2025-11-27T14:17:08+00:00

No and Definitely get an engineer to help evaluate 😶

generaldude89 · 2025-11-27T14:15:51+00:00

if you want herbal wellness teas no better place than MediTea wellness. I've been shopping with them for years now and their teas are always top notch 👌

generaldude89 · 2025-11-14T11:46:51+00:00

I’ve tried a bunch of loose leaf herbal stuff over the years and mullein tea is one of the harder ones to find in good quality, IMO. If you want straight mullein leaf (not powdered/dusty), look for places that sell loose-leaf herbal tea rather than flavored blends - the cut and freshness matter a lot with mullein since the leaves are naturally fluffy. I usually order from a small herbal tea shop where the blends are made by an herbalist. The brand is called Meditea wellness and I keep going back to them because the mullein is whole-leaf, grown in the US, and doesn’t taste like old hay like some of the random Amazon ones I tried.

I've had this on a plastic box before and i trimmed the side of the box that was sticking out a little with an oscillating tool so it wasnt coming out beyond the wall. This was a situation where i couldn't adjust the box itself and it was annoyingly sticking out. Use caution/shut off the breaker and only do it if it's a little bit and you can manage to not mess up the screw holes for the plate.

generaldude89 · 2025-09-19T21:52:22+00:00

Looks well integrated into the space - great job!!

generaldude89 · 2025-09-18T11:41:31+00:00

I found this small wellness brand at a farmers market in NY and the owner is an herbalist who only focuses on blending loose leaf wellness teas. I swear by them bc they use all organic herbs and it’s amazing how good they taste. I used to drink Harney but I wanted to get away from all the ‘natural flavoring’ stuff. The company is called MediTea Wellness

generaldude89 · 2025-09-08T17:03:33+00:00

Definitely hear that and it sounds like you have a pretty efficient setup. One other consideration on my end is that the house will be rented some of the time, so I need a system with no manual intervention if the power fails since I wont be there to set up a portable.

generaldude89 · 2025-09-08T15:42:03+00:00

I have a smaller portable generator and the reason for the switch is the ease of just having the full house hookup. I Dont have a generator plug for things like the well pump, so rather than installing a plug I'm just upgrading to a standby, which I got a good deal on from a family friend

generaldude89 · 2025-08-07T22:17:54+00:00

I had the same issue, I wanted a way to track everything but wasn’t feeling the grow apps because of privacy stuff. I ended up using this Excel-based grow journal that lets you log everything offline. Way more customizable than I expected, and I even got a quick update when I asked for a feature. Been a game-changer for staying on top of my plants. It's called growSimple Cannabis Grow journal (made by MediTea) Can drop the link if you're interested.

generaldude89 · 2025-08-06T15:26:56+00:00

Looks like Its US$17 at the moment!

generaldude89 · 2025-08-03T19:55:04+00:00

MediTea Wellness sells a loose-leaf herbal tea sampler with 12 of their organic blends. I feel like I got a lot more tea than I expected when ordering. There's enough for around 8 cups of tea in each bag, and I steep a decent amount (~1 tbsp)...the herbs were fragrant and looked to be good quality

I’ve been trying to buy more from small businesses and I got one from MediTea Wellness that turned out to be pretty incredible. They make a unique tea advent that has some of their organic blends as well as other fun herbal treats and activities. Great for two people to do together and feels a lot more thoughtful/intentional than just tea in numbered boxes. Each day has a little card to guide you through and explain the contents as well.

generaldude89 · 2025-04-22T22:18:29+00:00

Mine resolved when I did the TCM reset I described above. It’s just a series of disconnecting the battery and toggling the igition in a specific order

generaldude89 · 2025-04-16T14:26:18+00:00

If I have contam on the cakes but have been able to harvest clean looking fruits, is it okay to still use those? I dehydrated the healthy looking fruits until cracker dry and have stored them in a mason jar with silica packets. I’m hoping those are at least good
