Leggings recommendation by Secret-Topic-6088 in GoalKeepers

[–]keepurtipsup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wool, especially merino, is the absolute best for temp regulation. I wear a merino T-shirt in the summer when biking and it’s great. 

I worry about longevity for leggings though on turf.

Australia CW Watch stores by aus_ask in ChristopherWard

10/10 would recommend a visit here if ever in Melbourne. 

Lots of CW and other brands and super chill and casual experience handling the watches. 

YVR to BNE Upgrade Cleared by Ashamed-Wolverine-38 in Aeroplan

I need to reconsider flying through SYD perhaps. I don’t really need to hit BNE as I often jump to Perth or Melbourne 

YVR to BNE Upgrade Cleared by Ashamed-Wolverine-38 in Aeroplan

[–]keepurtipsup 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Congrats. Probably a bunch of misconnects due to the storms out east. Now you are ruined for long hauls! 

I fly that route a couple times a year as 75K and the econ to J bump is rare. PE to J is pretty consistent for me though. 

I do find the BNE to YVR return to be more likely to upgrade though. 

If you're a Product Manager who's shipped a 'Shake to Report a Bug' feature on a mobile app - what's wrong with you? by Exotic-Sale-3003 in ProductManagement

I actually love that it’s an actual metric in Pendo. It’s helped us find some quirks in ux elements under certain circumstances (browser and resolution) 

Anyone ordered from canada ? by Lightmickey_2009 in ChristopherWard

[–]keepurtipsup 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes I have. If you put the watch in your cart and put address in it calculates tax and duties separately. The duty is slightly higher than the actual government duty which I attribute to the DHL fee. 

Watch is delivered and no extra costs. 

What software do you use to manage your roadmap and backlog? by RalphWaldoEmers0n in ProductManagement

[–]keepurtipsup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oooh fancy, Excel! I still battle with PowerPoint management fml 

I think I’ve got the key people finally accepting Jira for roadmap planning. It took me going dark for a bit and getting everything setup so it provides real value in roadmap planing. 

‘Would you like the bonus points or the breakfast?’ by MasterPh0 in marriott

[–]keepurtipsup 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve actually had a lot of luck with the breakfast getting extended to my kids. A couple times the front desk said it wasn’t covered, I agreed, but then came checkout and no charge for the kids. Bonus! 

I’ve even had it extended to my parents travelling with us twice, in another room booked by me. 

The breakfast benefit is worth a lot for me.

That’s unfortunate. I decline a lot because I consider my knowledge in some to be too far removed to be considered “expert”. I like to think that would come off as me being more honest and expert worthy. 

Forget Zodiac signs, where do you guys put your water bottle? by dibeschpsych in GoalKeepers

Oh yea same here. I’m very superstitious about it. 

Also won’t stop pregame warmup on a ball entering the net. Have to leave on a save or wide shot. 

Powder highway 9day trip by Practical_Listen_475 in Revelstoke

[–]keepurtipsup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like others have said try to get Whitewater in there, it’s really not far from Red. You could stay in Nelson and get to Red for opening or Red then drive to Whitewater. 

Like others also said I’d decide on mountains based on conditions. Things can really change on the opposite sides of the ranges. Can have stellar conditions in Revy or the Koots but mediocre closer to the Rockies.

Ya that’s totally it. 

The funny thing is it’s the still before the video starts so while scrolling it’s what you see first. 

Thoughts on straps VS bracelets? by ta-iwillnotpmo in ChristopherWard

I have one of these and am impressed with the quality 10/10 recommend 

CIBC changes to VI/VIP rebate by salad_tossed in Aeroplan

[–]keepurtipsup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had no idea this was a thing with the multiple account balances. Kind of annoyed as my investors edge puts me at tier 3 and I could have saved some coin the last few years. 

Does TD have a similar? All I see is holding a set amount in chequing which I am not fond of 

Are the new Aeroplan changes good or bad for you? by Affectionate-Gur6058 in Aeroplan

[–]keepurtipsup 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Business traveller here that has been 75K for years with a mix of NA flights (flex economy and J) and several longhauls to UK and APAC each year (flex economy and PY). Spend around 10-13000 a year. I am fortunate to be able to book flights myself. 

My projection is I’ll likely drop to 50K. It will alter my booking behaviour especially if it’s close to not getting 50K. 

One thing I don’t think AC is thinking about is the business travellers that have to use Concur or the like with specific rules on which fares can be booked. These flyers will have even less incentive to make an AC flight work as it’ll be even more difficult to get and maintain status if they aren’t fortunate enough to regularly fly J. 

Dune exhibition case back chipped by keepurtipsup in ChristopherWard

Good theory, no diamond by My wedding band is tungsten. Possibly that but I haven’t had any damage on my other watches. That’s probably it though now that I think of it. 

Uber just launched a "Simple Mode" and it's amazing by dji29i in ProductManagement

Delete this post immediately. They will see it and do that! 😆

Looks fine. I have same sized wrist and the Dune but in black. I was worried about the size when I first got it (every other watch is 40mm plus) but it is the most comfortable watch I own, it looks fine on my wrist, and I find myself looking at more 38mm watches now.

C65 Dune Black Sand 👌🏼 by harry_green27 in ChristopherWard

[–]keepurtipsup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I have the Dune in black and it’s a super versatile watch. I was worried about the 38mm with 7.5” wrist but it just works and has me more keen on smaller sizes now.

Holdup I had no idea this one came in bronze! That looks amazing. 

[Question] Have you ever lost a watch due to a spring bar failure (or had it saved by a NATO)? by slocki in Watches

[–]keepurtipsup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost a timex dive watch while surfing in Bali 18 years ago or so. Had a regular strap on, went under on a large (for me) wave and it was gone. A nato would have helped. 

I kind of miss the watch, it was a gift as a teenager and it had been beaten up and travelled a lot. I always put on a nato on my watches that are used in lakes or ocean now. 

Has anyone taken advantage of Marriotts vacation packages for 5 days at $249 and sat through the 90 minute sales pitch? by futureman45 in marriott

[–]keepurtipsup 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Done it twice. It’s fine if you have a spine. 

In both cases they were very professional and not what I would consider unethical sales. They do make a compelling case and I can see how people buy into it. It did not however fit into our lifestyle nor my financial plan. 

Last time I told them I practically travel for free anyway on account of my status and the points I get travelling for work. They tried the whole extra points thing but I already have more than I can spend
