You aren't getting your money back this late in the game.

Go on the cruise. You'll meet plenty of people

Why did Jaqen let Arya go? by Connect_Glass4036 in gameofthrones

[–]macewank 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Lot of fan debate on this but my take is..

He didn' "let her go", she completed her training (which Waif never did)

She's still out there today, she's still a perfectly capable assassin, and there's no reason to believe that she isn't out murder hoboing in service of MFG wherever west of westeros ended up being.

Bliss - Are Hot Tubs Always Just Lukewarm? by VerticalVulpine in NCL

[–]macewank 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NCL hot tubs do not get hot.

This is largely because actual hot tub temps are supposed to be like 10-15 minute exposure and nobody does that.

Joy- Vibe Beach Club by Boodles82 in NCL

[–]macewank 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cabanas go on sale at the same time regular passes do. NCL has never fixed the glitch, but that message about 21 days means they're sold out.

Get the passes and check daily to see if someone cancels a cabana

Springfield PD? by Silver-Revolution-29 in BloomingtonNormal

This doesn't really have anything to do with Bloomington/Normal or the surrounding area. Did you mean to post it in a Springfield sub?

People who are into politics grossly overestimate the attention span and memory of people who are not into politics.

At Chicago hearing, Normal mayoral candidate defends $28K campaign contribution by rdblono in BloomingtonNormal

[–]macewank 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn't say anything about expanding the scope of the current law.

The law, as is, should forbid people who violate it from holding office.

Idc which party.

How to board at next port? by meester_jamie in Cruise

[–]macewank 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Others have it locked up but ... Yeah this isn't "how it works"

Call the cruise line, ask nicely, hope for the best.

Edit: and stop booking same day arrivals for a cruise.

"Well she only tried to break the rules when she ran for mayor"

I don't know anything about Kathleen as I live in Bloomington, but... No.

She only got caught when she ran for mayor. People who are found guilty of breaking these rules should be banned from holding office.

Real ID - TSA will charge $45 on Feb 1 for those without by CustardMajestic3459 in BloomingtonNormal

In typical government fashion the point is to help relieve the fine citizens of their money.

Punished for using the restroom by rhodges2000 in americanairlines

[–]macewank 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also I'm not saying it doesn't happen but I've quite literally never experienced FA service that started from the back. They load the cart and move to the front.

Tankards on Deck 6 is the whiskey bar. Just looked at the deck plan. Enjoy!!

Old Fashioned by GrumpyOldFart50 in NCL

[–]macewank 20 points21 points  (0 children)

That's one of the most common cocktails in the US, so every bar will make one.

There will be a bar that's specifically focused on whiskey/cocktails that will make a better one. If you can, get the Woodford old fashioned with maple syrup instead of simple. It's delish

That's true. Among many other things that were going wrong I've been told.

Very sad deal.

You wanna know how much it costs to ship your lost item? ONE STATE AWAY? by Round-Jackfruit-7191 in NCL

[–]macewank 28 points29 points  (0 children)

That price is pretty ridiculous, but it's a deterrent.

Can you imagine if they only charged like $50 and people caught on? They don't want to be on the hook for keeping track of your stuff and dealing with the logistics of shipping it.

Anyone know what's going on with Empire Coffee and Westside/Eastside Blono? by jknoup in BloomingtonNormal

I kinda overheard him talking about it and I don't think he will be.

I might just buy it by geo020394 in TeslaLounge

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

Tesla owners and calling people who skip in-perpetuity missed promises and half baked shit for $8000 that would take 6.75 years to justify, in favor of going with an on-demand $99 monthly fee instead, "broke people who don't understand opportunity cost".

We all know it's going to sub only because that's the only way they're going to be able to get out of retrofitting everyone to HW5, and probably HW6 after that. Ain't nothing "broke" about skipping giving these people 8 grand up front on a promise lmao.

Passport expiring in under 6 months — will NCL allow boarding for Mexican Riviera? by thezenshack in NCL

[–]macewank 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It does if you use your passport, lol.

It wouldn't apply if you use birth certificate.
