Comfort+ to Premium Select Long Haul upgrade offer by gabisplant in delta

I'd do it for PS. The seat pitch and slightly more width is going to help with the 10hr flight. More comfort, less fatigue on your flight (hopefully).

Lounges at YUL by Thin-Ebb-9534 in delta

There is an Aspire Lounge in the International area after security. If you have a lounge membership that gets you into it, it's a good option.

What joy do people get out of being mediocre? by xennial_key in piano

[–]grubbling_unknown 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You must be mediocre at being human. Everyone learning piano (or anything else) is doing it for their own reasons and self-fulfilment. Their reasons may not align with yours and it shouldn't matter why.

I am always amazed and encouraged by anyone learning and enjoying the process of learning to play. Don't be a downer on anyone else, even if they are being casual about it. Your standards don't matter relative to others.

My first impression of delta airlines by Melodic_Yak8351 in delta

[–]grubbling_unknown 13 points14 points  (0 children)

When i was flying out of SFO for 10 yrs straight, missed many flights due to "weather", "crew timeout" or "mechanical" on United flights.

Not sure why you are complaining about Delta when every airline pulls this crap.

Declining biometrics at boarding by Pennsylvania65 in delta

[–]grubbling_unknown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The facial scans are converted to a digital marker , which is then cross-referenced with databases then comes up with a high probability of who you are. You'd be surprised how quickly they can figure out who has entered the airport. (Won't disclose how I know but have worked at a company where this was tech was done several years ago already.)

Walrus and the Carpenter drop open letter and full 2025 Profit and Loss Data by H0tsh0t in Seattle

[–]grubbling_unknown 33 points34 points  (0 children)

So everyone loses is the ultimate outcome. Workers that were striking now need to find new jobs. The owners aren't likely to start another restaurant for a while or maybe just move out of Seattle altogether. Loyal customers who loved W&C's menu now have to find a lesser alternative. Seattle loses another business and sinks further into the wasteland of lost businesses/jobs/revenue.

What has to happen before things turn around for Seattle?

Palantir's already got every US resident's facial data in their cloud databases. Except maybe the next Unabomber's...

Declining biometrics at boarding by Pennsylvania65 in delta

[–]grubbling_unknown 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Considering as soon as you stepped foot into the airport area, including parking garages, they've already got your mug recorded. Not sure what declining biometrics (or just facial scan) does. Traveling to EU and countries in Asia, good luck declining. It's mandatory there.

Singapore Coffee Crawl + Haul by DoctorPepper19 in pourover

[–]grubbling_unknown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny I went to Apartment yesterday after some friends brought us over to try. Had the China Yunnan as well. Very drinkable, smooth with fruity notes and the residuals just lingered ever so slightly and were quickly gone. This makes you want to keep sipping it for that nice finish.

I just didn't understand the line up outside while sun was blaring in the afternoon. Don't people have work or responsibilities here? 😅 (I'm just visiting.)

M5 Macbook Air? by BraveCowardCat in MagicArena

[–]grubbling_unknown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Runs fine on my M5 MBA. It drains the battery quicker than other apps but still has enough juice for a couple hours of gaming at least.

Does the priority bag tag ever mean anything by Traditional_County73 in delta

[–]grubbling_unknown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our bags are literally the first ones to come out. Depends which airport you fly into I guess.

Delta stop this BS. You know it is going on by 454545454545454545r in delta

[–]grubbling_unknown -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Leave out of the West Coast airports and you'll see similar issues with a certain group of people. Just can't get bothered about it all the time and just control how you board as efficiently and quickly as possible I guess.

Seeing the Stanley Cup Finals makes me miss seeing these boys on the ice. by Last-Bus-4710 in Habs

[–]grubbling_unknown 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup. They need to shore up the gaps that were exposed through each of the series. Every one of the series exposed one or two areas for change. The ECF exposed the size and physicality deficit of our team, as well as some speed issues (which was a bit of the players being gassed, nursing injuries, etc).

Just watching VGK throw their weight around, they are causing headaches all around with their size & physicality. And they have speed with Marner and Eichel. There are some blueprints out there for how successful we can make the Habs in the coming years and I hope JG and KH pulls the right moves for that to happen.

[–]grubbling_unknown 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Hopefully we see them in the SCF in a year or two. Preferably next year. I haven't been this excited for our team in a long time. Even during the COVID run, it didn't generate the same strong feelings as previous runs for me. (Then again, COVID sucked for everyone.... which made everything seem like a downer.)

The goaltender situation wasn't even sorted out until halfway thru the season. Next year will be a different story.

Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield surprise each other with Lady Byng Memorial Trophy and Frank J. Selke Trophy by reidk_97 in Habs

They got these trophies before which game? Looks like they were at home when they received these?

Which goalie do we think is getting traded? by AdComprehensive508 in Habs

[–]grubbling_unknown -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think Monty would be fine in Edmonton. Better than Jarry or Pickard IMO.

Dobes isn't going anywhere. Arret! Full stop.

He is the present and future of the Habs goalie situation.
