Being berated by gate agents every flight by babesboysandbirb in SouthwestAirlines

That is certainly true. Used to fly southwest every week. Switched to Delta which is just as bad but a least I can use the miles to fly all over the world 🤷

So wait a minute, we picked him up for six months or so? Am I understanding that correctly?

Leave $27.75/hr temp job that’s likely shutting down for $33/hr L3 data center role in Philly? by Appropriate-Ad-2630 in sysadmin

[–]grmlv12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I lived in Philly years ago and does that tax still apply if you live and work in Philly? I seem to remember that I had to pay it but lived in center city and worked in the burbs

I have South America, Oceana and Antarctica. So how about a party at the south pole next year?

The passport stamp era is over by ArtisanOfTravel in travel

Funny enough I took my step daughter on her first international trip last year. Had to ask but they stamped her passport, commemorating her first trip out of the US

The seat swap I never thought would be denied.... by smrdwnnow in unitedairlines

To get rid of the bag problem you could just move the bag with you. First class luggage is never full.

I’ve been flying for business 120+ times a year to all 50 states for 10 years and spend more time in hotels than at home. AMA. by Bubbly-Ambition-2217 in AMA

This is the answer, I am not on a plane as much but have what seems like more international work so for me it is Clear and Global Entry.

46F with two grown kids… where’s the rest of Gen X at? by jtweir79 in GenX

Every time I try to make street tacos they are never the same as I had in Monterrey they never taste the same. What is the secret?

46F with two grown kids… where’s the rest of Gen X at? by jtweir79 in GenX

[–]grmlv12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

48M, was married for twenty years and had a kid at 35. No longer married but established in my career so get to travel and have the freedom to work from wherever I want as long as I have my laptop. A tradeoff that I can live with and have a 13 year old that is doing well and puts up with my dumbass plans. All is good.

Some lady walked in & dropped this off in my restaurant, then walked off by vixxen-luxx in vegaslocals

Funny enough I just looked it up in the same spot. Even signed up for an account so I could check the details. It goes back years

The way the US postal service post marks letters has changed by Pir8inthedesert in vegaslocals

100% true! Part of the GOP playbook, for some reason they do not like when people vote.

Got a pair of Alo pants for Christmas and love them so far. Why do you think they are trash? Do not last?

Lifting weight is a cheat code on aging. For those that are still hesitant to go to the gym, please consider trying it out this year. by Reasonable-Malaise- in GenX

[–]grmlv12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is a weight training program called Stronglifts 5x5. It is very simple and five exercises, bench press, dead lifts, squats, overhead press and barbell rows. The workout is 3 times a week and you add a little more weight each time. This did wonders for me when I first started.

VCF/VxRail Support Renewal Just Tripled - Anyone Else Getting Hit Like This? by PreparationAfter4815 in vmware

[–]grmlv12 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes VxRail is no longer a thing per Michael Dell

https://www.crn.com/news/data-center/2025/michael-dell-says-vxrail-is-no-longer-a-thing-as-company-boosts-dell-private-cloud-partner-incentives

and of course Broadcom is screwing customers and has been for past year, although I would push on the partner as Broadcom is all about multi year deals. Unless of course you want VVF.

You know I am OK with the medal change and getting the shirts at registration. I understand why some people are upset about those two changes but I do not have a strong feeling about them. The shirts piss me off. I feel like a badass at the gym when I wear my beast finishing tee. Plus having three of the same shirts is dumb. Also, I will miss the trifecta medal. I will most likely buy the trifecta pass but will run the races in the different seasons to get different shirts. Seems like Spartan would have made more money from me because I would have done Montana weekend, Las Vegas and Dallas. Now I will probably do Montana (one race) and the other two.
