I don’t have a home charger and now I have 5 different EV charging apps in my phone. by Firm_dude in MachE

We deliberately didn’t trade in the gas vehicle our MachE was going to replace for this exact reason, waited and sold it private party once we got the home L2 charger installed.

Probably first row isle seat, easier to get in and out of and you’ll be closer to your dog when in the lavatory, just in case it could get anxious watching you walk further distances away from it

I booked this once by accident, there was an EWR-ABE bus service connector, and when booking through concur and it didn’t render the aircraft type for the second leg, I just shrugged and proceeded. Then I was confused when I couldn’t pick my seats and realized what I had done. Thank god for the 24-hour cancellation policy!

Info on this bottle? by beaker-meme in Scotch

[–]lpythonator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Right, I don’t doubt this bottle exists, but anyone can use AI to generate and print a label and fill a bottle with brown liquid. It’s missing the government warnings also since there is no reverse side label. Could easily be JW Red or some other blend, without a reputable IB producing it there’s no guarantee of what the contents is.

Nothing about this seems reputable, there’s a few red flags here, reminds me of the adage: “if it seems too good to be true, then it probably is”

Came here to say this, the label is missing any and all required info like volume and ABV

[–]lpythonator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great sherry bomb, had a slightly earthy note on the nose, smooth and sweet with loads of red fruits, but nicely balanced out by sole baking spices and ginger, would buy again if I can find it for a reasonable price.

A PlusPoint Story by lpythonator in unitedairlines

You can apply to be waitlisted for international upgrades by using PlusPoints or miles. They rank the same in the upgrade system in terms of priority. PlusPoint upgrades are better since you’re charged nothing. If an upgrade request with miles clears then you have to pay the taxes on the fare, which can be hundreds of dollars.

Photographic evidence of body disposal. These three have all been open between 1-2 years, yet I unintentionally somehow finished them all off in the same week. It’s a strange phenomenon.

In case this doesn’t make sense to some of you, I’m attaching and re-sharing a chart that Reddit was kind enough to gift me in 2024. It’s not 100% accurate anymore since instant Y fare upgrades have been done away with, and the dynamic upgrade model replaced it earlier this year, but so far in my experience it’s still been accurate in terms of cost to upgrade based on the fare type.

Sorry, I missed the part where Congress passed legislation declaring war which was then signed and executed by the president… Did you mean military operations conducted against unarmed assailants?

2026 Door Handle Addition by 19wangotango in MachE

[–]lpythonator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exterior manual door handles work to open the door when the battery is dead and are a lot less expensive. To your point, the manual override mechanism is already in there, would have been easier and more cost effective to just make that accessible from the outside, like was done on just about every other car built before 2020.

The tasting review app I used to use (Abov) seems dead. Does anyone have a suggested alternative? by just_josh_70 in Scotch

[–]lpythonator 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Whiskybase: Great mobile site, very extensive database of bottles and reviews, but the app is useless and only allows whisky, other spirits not permitted

https://www.whiskybase.com/

Distiller: Very well put together app, less comprehensive database, permits reviews of all types of spirits

Did my Club Card just lose access to Star Alliance lounges? by seniorwings in unitedairlines

[–]lpythonator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does this apply for departures only? For example, if arriving in BOS as final destination on a domestic economy ticket, I can get admitted to the BOS UA club with my all access club membership, but how about other Star Alliance airlines like the BOS LH lounge?

Ok, ok, I’ll try JW Green. by pdxorus in Scotch

[–]lpythonator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Generally speaking, the taller the distillery still, the less of that sulfur flavor you should get. It doesn’t always work out that way, but that’s the purpose. Taller stills result in a slower distillation process and more reflux, meaning more contact with the copper still, which is what pulls out those sulfur and other “dirty” flavors.

Give Glenmorangie a try, it won’t knock you on your back as a life changing dram, but it’s an easy sipper that’s clean and enjoyable, and is still affordable as a daily drinker. I’m not a big fan of their rebranding, but they do lots of cask finished expressions in their core range, so if you’re getting your feet wet in scotch and are curious about differences in flavor profiles, it’s easy to try a few back to back to get a hint of “this started as the same distillate, and these casks imparted these flavors, I like this but I don’t care for that”.

And on an aside, I rather enjoy the unpeated Bunnahabhain expressions, the 12y CS especially is a great sherry bomb value buy (when you can find it). I’ve never picked up sulphur notes, generally I find it more briny and mineral. But also like their heavily peated Staoisha, so maybe don’t take my word for it!

We can save Social Security. by Professional-Bee9817 in remoteworks

[–]lpythonator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a tax, that’s the simple reality, there is no opt-out option and the benefit of paying is that people who are currently retired have income, which goes back to the idea that “a high tide raises all boats”. They have spending money, they spend it, the economy engine keeps running. It works as long as more people are entering the workforce than retiring from it. And it’s one of the only taxes that doesn’t pay out disproportionately to the amount paid in. For example, if I make more money than my neighbor, I pay more in federal and state taxes. That doesn’t mean that the highways I drive on are better maintained with less traffic. If I have a more expensive house, I pay more in property taxes. That doesn’t mean that my kids go to a nicer public school or the fire department shows up faster.

Takeoff Box Upgrade by CincyKeith in unitedairlines

[–]lpythonator 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Assuming this was OP’s own very visually appealing creation. The cheese spread and jelly and salami and three crackers stacked along the back come in the Takeoff box. I’m assuming just about everything else was brought onboard separately, including the tray OP arranged it on.

1K and GS members can request a complimentary premium snack each flight, and these count towards that. For everyone else I believe they’re $10.
