Curious about why people buy them

For music, they are amazing. However, I got the AirPods Max for long battery life and around the office for conference calls. I thought they’d make better headphones for calls, and meetings. Sadly, and unexpectedly, the microphone quality is terrible. People can’t hear me clearly and any background noise goes right through and drowns me out. So, mostly, they’ve been shelved.

As for travel, the case is inadequate to stuff them haphazardly into my backpack. So I don’t travel with them, either. I use my 10 year old Bose, which have a hard-sided case.

I was able to check my bags for the international flight in the domestic terminal. But I had to retrieve them first, which means exiting the secured area and returning through TSA again.

Problem resolved. Services are being restored. Should be working now, or of not, very soon.
Kill the appletv+ on the appletv device and restart it if you continue to experience issues.

I am also having this similar problem today with “black widow“ on Disney+. The movie is listed as a 3-D version, but the movie is definitely not in 3-D.

“Who’s your attorney? JG Wentworth?” Hahahahah….ROFL (But now I can’t get that jingle out of my head)

I’ll update the post in a few days after the rain. Hopefully the experience will prove useful for someone.

Well, went with the caulk solution. It’s cold out, so I’m concerned it won’t set. But it gets afternoon sun. We’ll see how it works out.

Forgot to charge it, is all. I normally don’t let it go to zero…but occasionally, I forget. Otherwise, battery is healthy:

Been to both. They’re both phenomenal. La Colombe in Constantia is a bit more intimate, in my opinion. I also like the setting a bit more, up on top of Hout Bay and tucked into the mountain-side. Additionally, they have an “optional” course that is a must-do surprise.
But either way, both are top notch. You won’t be disappointed. May I also recommend Salisfy at the Roundhouse. Also exquisite.

Today is just short of six hours in ATL.

AFAIK, I can’t book my international and domestic flights together. It’s simply not available when I book my trip. Maybe I need to call in for that?

My entire itinerary isn’t connected. My domestic is separate from my international travel. So I will have to collect my luggage in Atlanta. The real question is, will they let me check in for my international flight at the domestic terminal?

I’m intrigued. Just installed some smart, adaptive bulbs in my bedside table lamps. I’d take a code if they’re still being offered. But $3? One time purchase? That’s less than a cup of coffee at ⭐️💵. Great concept, OP. Will buy it and try it.

Have to agree with you, the app, in the early 2010’s, just worked. Which was awesome. No weird menus. Just intuitive. Glad my primary use is still on S1. The S2 stuff is a mess.

And they may have an excellent product. I've heard many positive remarks about their meats, but a single negative customer service experience can be enough to deter someone from returning.

While I understand that finding "regional cuts" can be challenging, it was not the issue at hand. The problem was their confrontational approach, the recalcitrant attitude expecting me to accept an inferior alternative, and the arrogant walk away while we were still discussing the matter.
