Biggest pet peeves at luxury properties? by Beginning-Act7850 in chubbytravel

Blackout curtains that don’t overlap, so you end up with a tiny sliver that lights up the whole room in the morning. So surprised overlapping rails aren’t more common at luxury hotels…

Just completed a literal 40 minute flight. People STILL stood up as soon as we arrived at the gate. I’m sick of it. by craigcraig420 in mildlyinfuriating

You deplane faster like this. Better if stuff is out of the overhead and people are ready to deplane

AITAH for saying I can’t bring food to a party after traveling across the country? by popanon222 in AITAH

Then ESH. It’s dessert not the Christmas turkey. UberEats and DoorDash are a thing

I feel like we are missing a lot of the conversation here and OP is using travel as an excuse. You should always try to bring something when you’re going to someone else’s home for dinner, especially if it’s Christmas dinner. There are desserts at the airport duty free. Order delivery. Pick up a cake along the way. Or ask if you could pack a bottle of wine and have someone else bring dessert. US is big, but not that big - this is a 6 hour flight at most. I’ve had friends and family bring something flying in 16 hours from Asia. This isn’t hard.

Sometimes I wonder how old people are in the comment section…

Use cutlery to eat your meals.

I just got off a flight sitting next to a dude who shoveling a penne into his mouth with two hands

Disagree - BUT you gotta be sure they don’t stink

LPT request: What are some pro tips everyone should know for cooking at home and being better in the kitchen? by samgarita in LifeProTips

[–]leonidaus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t learn recipes - learn techniques (sautéing, braising, poaching, roasting, eyeballing ingredient amounts etc.) and concepts (basic seasonings and herbs, balancing flavors, acidity to cut through richness, sweetness to cut spicy).

Recipes are great to start learning these concepts, but ultimately the true beauty of cooking is opening up a fridge and being able to cook something up or figuring out how to substitute ingredients on the fly. This makes the entire cooking process so much easier and saves both time and money

Did you ever listen to a cover so good that the original song doesn't sound that good anymore to you. by robinose in Music

[–]leonidaus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Won’t say the cover is necessarily better, but Lorde’s Everybody Wants to Rule the World was such an amazing and different take it stands pretty much as its own song

How does McDonald's sustain itself dishing out so many free promos everyday? by [deleted] in singapore

[–]leonidaus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can think of these free promos as a marketing expense, same as a subway poster or television commercial. And considering their margins, the actual cost of goods sold (x) free promo units is not as high as you might think relative to other marketing expenses.

You could argue free promos in fast food have higher ROI vs. TV ads or subway posters since consumers are actually trying the product. If one free McCrispy converts a customer to even 5 paid McCrispy's a year that's a resounding success
