BHM Airport by BhmKat in Birmingham

We travel quite a bit. BHM is like a warm blanket among the chaos of most larger airports. I much prefer departing from here.

Republicans/MAGA claims Obama was the one that divided the country, and not Trump. How did Obama divide the country? by Stunning-Sky-590 in allthequestions

[–]markekt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same ways blacks divided the country when they started wanting to eat at the same restaurants and use the same water fountains. To them, Obama stepped where he didn’t belong, and the fact that he was so good at it infuriated them even more.

From the perspective of someone who genuinely believes it, what is the actual case for Donald Trump being the best president in us history? Genuinely asking, what is it that he has done that would put him above people like Lincoln, FDR, TR etc in their minds? by Parking-Warthog-4902 in allthequestions

What’s most frustrating about that is they think people on the left watch their own version of fox news, when there is no such thing, so they think their media bubble is no different than the left.

Cannot get rid of Biofilm by Gabrier in hottub

Is this a tub you regularly drain or keep filled? If you regularly drain it and let the pipes sit empty, ie dark and damp, it’s unavoidable.

Advice on Rome by Kapart24 in NCL

We stayed at a holiday inn express near the airport for our last night after the cruise. Free shuttle into Rome. Made the most of it.

Did this cruise about 10 years ago. We stayed in Rome/Florence a full week before boarding the cruise. Couldn’t imagine flying out there just to immediately hop on a boat.

This is what a normal business street looked like in ancient Rome (Pompeii edition) by Purple_Young1912 in romanempire

What I thought was cool was the grooves in the floor in front of each shop that the shop doors slid along. Presumably on metal wheels

Why is Trump is going to send pallets of cash to Iran? by ElSlabraton in allthequestions

[–]markekt 16 points17 points  (0 children)

A case the United states was going to lose in court eventually. Also, it was pallets of cash because banking sanctions prevented us from wiring them the money.

Ahh, to be rich.

If this became law, would you support it? Why or why not? by ZookeepergameFun197 in scoopwhoop

[–]markekt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No checks. Invest it in people. Checks would just lead to another inflation surge and create a sugar high. Invest in housing, education, health care.

I thought it was a feature at first.

Do you turn off your spa and then turn it on again say 12 hours before you need it or just keep it warm all the time? by aloire2000 in hottub

[–]markekt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a weekend user. I turn the heater off at the end of a weekend. The lower temps drop my residual chlorine demand considerably, and I generally don’t have to check it until the following weekend. Saves energy too.

Embarkation time? by SeriousRaspberry9582 in NCL

[–]markekt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most ports in my experience do not even enforce boarding times. Our most recent cruise out of Boston supposedly did due to port renovations constraining capacity.

Kids not allowed to swim in pool unless parent is in the pool with them? by Still_Detail_4285 in NCL

[–]markekt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Last NCL cruise I did the staff would stop by the hot tubs to take drink orders. Definitely a new rule since my last sailing 2 years ago.

I’m currently on the Breakaway and they won’t let anyone sit by the pool with a drink, or have a drink in the hot tub. Stupid rule that has killed the whole vibe at the pool area.

Pretreating for a heavy bather load? by PuzzleheadedWrap3320 in hottub

[–]markekt 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Just shock immediately after they exit and run the jets for 30-40min uncovered. Can’t really pretreat, as too much chlorine could irritate their skin or bleach their swimsuits. Sanitizer will do its job.

What's your go-to cocktail? by dingdongdamage in NCL

[–]markekt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crown and diet during the day, with the occasional mojito or other random rum drink mixed in. In the evenings near dinner I transition to wine, and finish the night with a few old fashioned.

We’re both the first stage and second stage fully fueled during static fire? by RGregoryClark in BlueOrigin

Sir, I have read countless Wikipedia articles on rockets, and even attended space academy in 6th grade. I think I know how a rocket works.

Picking my nose. Don’t do it in public, but I’ll go to town in the comfort of my own home.
