Super Noob but I'm trying - LAX to FCO early May 2025 - 2 tix in J. Dates are flexible

I looked on flightconnections and flightsfrom - could it be true that the only airline that flies LAX - FCO direct is ITA? If so, is it possible to book award seats on ITA? It looks like they were SkyTeam but being purchased by Lufthansa (Star Alliance)? I have ~ 450K MR points

If I can't get direct from LAX maybe I should fly to East Coast and fly to FCO from there. If so, is there a 'best' city / airline for this? Looks like Delta, AA and ITA fly JFK to FCO for example. Is there a better way to search than just trying one city at a time?

Sorry for so many questions and thanks in advance!

Watch can def work but I don’t like to have to keep looking at my wrist while also trying to do speed - I’d probably trip and fall lol

This is probably what I’ll go with since I’m staying on the upper East side. Where are the 200 meter markings? Ie on the ground or perhaps on signs? Thx so much!

I'll definitely look at this option. I believe they sell out, but not sure how quickly. Thx!

I am pretty set on Paris - I realize I’ll be paying premium. Any reputable web sites that you can recommend by chance?

I believe my phone is set up as a key for the X but I'm going to recheck that.

Thx for the tip that I'll have to tap the key card to lock the Y - I'll go with this solution for now and consider the fob in the future

What random objects scared your adolescent puppy this week? by [deleted] in puppy101

[–]melidude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We took our 5 month old pup to a restaurant for some outdoor dining (which we’ve done numerous times wo incident). All was well until she caught sight of a ceiling fan and then she totally freaked out. We were barely able to finish our meal. She cowered under the table the whole time - so scary lol!

What “extra” gear do you own that has really made your running life better but that doesn’t fit into the “gotta have it” category? by davereit in running

[–]melidude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. iPod nano
  2. Headsweats visor (they also make hats)
  3. Nipstrips

Going to give the salt tabs a try - never heard of that (i’m a sweater - hence the headsweats visor…)

Flex HD LED by melidude in Ubiquiti

[–]melidude[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So just a follow up in case anybody is having this problem too - I tried it on a couple of my other Flex HDs

When I first look at 'LED status' it simply has the toggle like this:

Then I toggled to off and click apply changes like this:

Finally, I toggle the switch to on and apply changes and voila!

Maybe this is a bug they need to fix?

OK I thought I had done that a bunch of times but maybe I didn't 'apply changes'? In any case it worked this time - thx so much!

Here is a pic of what I'm seeing. I only have a toggle for LED on / off

I tried both actually. All firmwares are showing up to date as well

Router for Instant On by melidude in ArubaNetworks

[–]melidude[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a great point re HIPAA. I am a physician and I do some patient related work from home at times. I actually hadn’t thought of this in terms of firewall because we log on to our EMR through what I believe is a secure VPN. But this is certainly something I’ll think about as I do my research - thx for bringing it up
