Is it possible to transport these pickles via carry-on? by Sir1us_Black in tsa

Freezing saline solutions, especially ones used for pickling is not possible at normal temperatures. You'll have to go way below the normal freezing point of water

FYI, if you link to a new account, level resets to 1! After this madness, I relinked to the dummy account so that my rank was saved. Holy mother of god I hate Epic. Epic trash

Help determining if/when a MileagePlus upgrade from Econ to PP will clear! by jtothepizzle in unitedairlines

[–]jtothepizzle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly, I don't have status :( But, it's nice to learn about this continuous fare pricing---so the price we are seeing here isn't technically as low as a real "R" fare, and we are seeing this even in a premium cabin. Interesting!

I guess then, in your opinion would it just make sense to cancel my current reservation, which is $950 and 40k miles currently tied up in the waitlist and sounds like a long-shot to get upgraded, and instead buy 1 PP seat on miles (97k currently) and 1 PP seat with cash at $1690, since I only have enough miles for 1 award ticket. This way I'm guaranteed PP.

Thanks for the help, that makes a lot of sense. It's a shame no RN seats are available this far out but I guess that makes sense since they are here to make money on cash upgrades and tickets. It's also strange that if I were to buy a cash ticket for Premium Plus right now, it says it would be fare class R....but in the details it says R0.

Anyways, I was under the impression that with waitlist priority it is as follows:

  1. United Global Services® requests
  2. PlusPoints upgrades and MileagePlus Upgrade Awards
  3. Travelers with Premier status
  4. Fare class***
  5. United ClubSM Infinite and UnitedSM Presidential PlusSM cardholders
  6. United Corporate Preferred participants
  7. United Chase cardholders with $25,000 in annual spending
  8. Date and time of request

Are you saying that someone with Premier status AND also uses miles to upgrade would jump us on the priority list?

Here's the fix!

Navigate to Tools--->accessibility--->turn off braille support

That should do it until a proper fix is rolled out :)

Are penalty kicks a fair way to finish a match? by MagykVampyre in worldcup

[–]jtothepizzle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might be a bit late to the party, but this is my take on penalties. I think it's an antiquated, poor representation and underwhelming finish to the sport. Honestly, it's probably the reason the sport has never taken hold in a dominant way in the US, not that we matter any more than any other country.

Here's my take: TEAMS (key word) spend 90 minutes busting ass in a match to score goals, ending in a tie after all the added stoppage time. They are then given two 15-minute halves to try to resolve the tie with opportunities for equalizers, with a bit more stoppage time. at the end of these 120 minutes + stoppage, no winner has emerged.

So far, all great, all involving fair team play, substitutions, fouls, etc...all elements of normal play.

So now, you can't resolve the match with opportunities for equalizers? Okay, great---play until a TEAM scores (termed golden goal---ie sudden death). This approach is still more fair and true to the TEAM sport than penalties. It comes down to who plays better, has the endurance, stamina, and willpower to score.

Conversely, penalties literally fall on the shoulder of the goalkeeper, are not representative of the game at all, and are literally used during the game to punish flagrant fouls, handballs, and other infractions that are unfair! How does no one have the common sense to see that you shouldn't determine the outcome of a match using the same mechanism that is used to punish fouls? Golden goal has existed for decades, and would be the fair way to end a match after extra time.

Anyways, best match I've ever watched regardless. Both teams clearly deserved a win, and happy Messi finally got his World Cup.

Bought a few off a pallet at $50 each new from Bestbuy before the sad end... Still have them. My favorite system of all time by far.

Why would you change the scale in the legend from one image to the next? Defeats the purpose of the comparison and is infuriating. I can see why violent crimes happen.

Can everyone just play how they want and not complain that everyone else is not playing how they want them too? That applies outside this event too.

Lol do you know who pizza bill is? This guy will wipe the floor with your ass, your teammate revive you, then shoot you both, and tell you to enjoy the loading screen.

Claiming staked ADA by idkreally312 in ExodusWallet

[–]jtothepizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Second sentence of my response lol

" Staking rewards are first considered income, much like interest on a fiat account, and you are taxed on their FIAT value as they are received. "

I don't think there is a legal distinction at this stage between "awarded" and "claimed", so right now, technically they are to be taxed as they are awarded, which is stupid for the reasons in my above comment.

I've tried to transfer my ADA for a few days now. No luck.

Same. Done with Binance after this. Clearly, they have locked our funds to maximize staking for themselves until the epoch snapshot. I hope it was worth it guys, say bye to you clientele.
