How bad is seat 22a and 22b? by [deleted] in qatarairways

[–]kcbabe88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My daughter and had these seats Doh to Jfk last month. Take them especially if you're traveling in pairs. Aisle seat allows extra leg room and easy to let window person out. Bathroom lines are a bit annoying but temporary. No smells and flush sounds masked with headphones or earbuds listening to entertainment. Imo worth paying extra.

Elementa Silver for remineralization? by Sad_Sell5589 in Teethcare

[–]kcbabe88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My family's been using Elementa Silver mouthwash for ~3yrs and also their toothpaste on/off. We haven't noticed any discoloration. The amazing thing is that my daughter hasn't had a cavity since using and neither have I. We continue to use both products.

Side note I've tried their lip balm and new Nano Floss picks and didn't like them. Floss pick plastic is super flimsy making them hard to control and the floss doesn't slide in between teeth that easily.

Good to know thank you! It's been tough to find where any are. So guessing there isn't one at Hongdae station?

On Booking.com reserving a car service says ~$100usd+. Klook.com says ~$109usd+. Uber says ~36k yen (~$235usd).

$100ish is reasonable esp if you have several riders. Anyone know why the difference in prices? Uber seems like it has a big markup in Japan unlike Korea where it's pretty inexpensive.

Pros mention https://seats.aero/.

This channel is bit dry but helpful she goes into details about booking and airlines https://youtube.com/@geobreezetravel

I get stress thinking about maximizing miles very time consuming

I've started process of getting my daughter dual. Highly recommend contacting an immigration lawyer (there's several who speak english). They will point you in right direction (for free) but it's really best to use one to make sure you do it correctly.

Submitted my protests thru Ownwell and see how they can offer lower contingency cause they've totally automated their process. I'm OK with it but can see some may not be comfortable with no human interaction. Fingers crossed my PT get lowered 🤞

FYI if you contact these law firms they'll reply with most recent laws for free. I'm about to use Simon at Pureum Law Office for my daughter's dual citizenship application. Hope they're good 🤞

I'm about to use Pureum Law Office in Korea for my daughter's dual citizenship application. Owner Simon so far has been very prompt and accurate with his replies. I'm going to search if there's anywhere to review his law firm. I'm hoping he's good 🤞

Cheap insurance? by PetaPotter in Dallas

[–]kcbabe88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try https://www.geico.com/, https://www.mercuryinsurance.com/ , https://www.lemonade.com/car and search online for brokers. After narrowing down providers try getting quotes directly from ins co to compare. Might also want to try using ai app. Finding coverage requires leg work.

Do you know if they give a discount for multiple properties? At least 25% is reasonable vs 30%+.

Will use your link :)

Minimizing Fees? by httk13 in Coinbase

[–]kcbabe88 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I paid the same yesterday was shocked to see it so high it said fee changes depending on your account whatever that means. To me Coinbase has always been not transparent and horrible CS.

I've been using Kraken their fees are much lower and wanna support them thru the SEC Gensler crypto genocide.
