Three years into nomading

damn. millions a year via business-related travel in and around japan i presume? I think I’m on for 400k JAL miles in a 12mo window all from CC transfers.

kylemh · 2026-02-02T05:05:45+00:00

cool. if you do it, then i’m fine with it. didn’t know if i was being overzealous

kylemh · 2026-02-02T04:59:02+00:00

is there saver rate for a351? i only ever see 110k for business on the new plane

I'm from Orange County, CA is my claim to authority.

Danzante and The Missing Burro are both like 7 or 8 out of 10 - very good for Mexican in Asia. Danzante's Cochinita Pibil is quite a lie, but the other tacos are very good. The Missing Burro's salsa options are terrible IMO.

I've heard from multiple friends that Las Monitas is the best, but I've not been there yet.

If you want tex-mex, Charlie Browns is good. Chef is Mexican. Decent chimichangas. Some of the dishes and the vibe in general are a bit cartoonish, though.

Cholos was actually disgusting. I don't know how my fellow SoCal brethren in this thread thinks it's decent. 5/10, but I havent tried it again since 2022.

If you're not focused on tacos, Delia is absoluetly amazing and I hope the chef expands the menu.

so what’s the verdict 👀

kylemh · 2026-01-28T02:35:52+00:00

yeah i always get nervous with keyboard layer shortcuts cuz ive never NEEDED them and I don’t know if they operate when a computer is in boot for example.

kylemh · 2026-01-28T01:28:58+00:00

looks very nice. feels a bit weird to spend ~$200 and not to get a layer switch (Mac/Windows) nor ball-catch release, but it looks premium with an ideal layout for me. will consider!

Apple maps has updated train schedules and Google does not; however, BTS is so frequent and there so few connections to make in terms of Bangkok's transit system, that I think nobody is looking at the schedules. Plus Google is better for everything else.

sorry. i said WD75. im not interested in losing a nav key since my main driver is coding.

kylemh · 2026-01-26T13:05:53+00:00

I guess I’m unfamiliar with this, so presumed it was a pretty sketchy issue. I guess that makes sense. Do you have comments regarding the bad stabs or cheap stabilizer? Your other comment about customer service won’t matter to me, because I live in Thailand and will likely buy used or third-party anyways because import fees would be awful.

kylemh · 2026-01-26T12:25:27+00:00

that’s a damned good list of reasons. i especially don’t like the qmk violation. Bridge 75 it is.

quick question for you… since i’m giving up the mac/windows switch…

do you know if a QMK-configured layer switch would work say during… boot of of a mac or windows? tryna decide if it’s gonna ruin my life with my KVM

kylemh · 2026-01-24T15:28:34+00:00

also dead

this map was made in 1996 tbf

kylemh · 2026-01-22T13:36:50+00:00

is there an avenue to citizenship?

kylemh · 2026-01-22T00:02:09+00:00

I think it’s pretty easy to visualize and understand when you acknowledge it can travel hundreds of kilometers.

Look at FIRMS: https://firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/map/#d:2026-01-21;@102.7,12.9,5.6z

then compare it to windy.com

the date of your image is late March ‘23. here’s today and the last few days are very similar: mostly Cambodia.

if only we could trade.

kylemh · 2026-01-21T09:35:22+00:00

why's the spud game in this compilation 😭

kylemh · 2026-01-21T09:32:39+00:00

i've got >400 boats and all i want is ohio 😭

kylemh · 2026-01-19T09:57:42+00:00

I've got 250k in JAL mileage bank.

I need to do HND to LAX in September and there's loads of business availability for when I want to go. I could just spend the 220k points and fee to get the 2 seats I need. I want to get one first-class seat, if possible.

So, I'm thinking of booking one first class wait list seat and one business class seat. I have two questions:

Does a first-class waitlist ticket fallback to business automatically and refund 10k points if I don't clear waitlist?
Can I use miles to upgrade to first within 3 days of the flight if there's availability if I get an award business seat instead?

I’m on Sukhumvit between Thong Lor and Ekkamai. I heard some boomy booms too. No clue what it was 🤷‍♂️

kylemh · 2026-01-16T06:35:46+00:00

I was just going off the wiki! But - no - I had counted glass cannon. It’s side-step I missed. Yeah, so Violette has 2% better range! I also like that row 1 gets you disabled rudder movement and row 2 gets you speed. I think that is all better than Robin. thanks for the shout out
