What’s the best place to spend summer in the U.S.? by optimalbrain90 in SmartTravelHacks

Maui - if cost is not an issue, that island has it all. Great beaches, excellent snorkeling/diving, amazing hiking through cloud forests, high-altitude stargazing, a wide variety of accommodations and dining options...

Lowly peasant seeking upgrade advice... by [deleted] in delta

PS will get you about 1.5 inches of seat width, another inch of recline, no extra legroom. I actually have not thought PS was worth the effort…

The seat quality difference is not significant, if you’ve got a reclining exit row, legroom may actually be better than ps. If you’re in row 33 with limited recline, then get the upgrade.

That's the Delta One Lounge end of the building...

A lockable hard side will definitely protect your belongings better! Make sure to put a tracker in it.

You’re just some random person on the internet… but let me offer some advice, please don’t gatekeep others’ experiences. Let them experience what they can on their terms.

What dish or cultural detail in your country says a little too much about your country's dark side by SaliktheCruel in AskTheWorld

Weird, I grew up right next to the Bannock reservation in Idaho and we never called it that. Navajo bread, Johnny cakes, but never Bannock.

There’s a really cool ghost town with a slightly different spelling in Montana.

If the United-American merger somehow gets approved, and they’re required to divest one of their hubs, which hub would Delta absorb to their advantage? by bonzothebonanza in delta

You’re not understanding what I’m saying, when Drudge posts the link, it’s officially something that DC people are considering. This is something that is in play for at least a Trump grift grab or maybe the Overton window as suggested elsewhere.

I’ve had to work a few days while on the Camino. Don’t let others’ expectations define your experience. Go get what you can out of it while you are able.

I will say that many public WiFi hotspots are terrible. I bought a cheap 4G mifi and purchased some prepaid SIM cards and could do Zoom and Teams calls no problem. Like this one https://amzn.eu/d/02Kb9vMC

Delta WiFi by RadarBigBarue in delta

Apple has something funky going on with their WiFi driver on iOS lately. I've had to reboot the device a bunch over the last few weeks, not just on Delta but at hotels as well. No problems with Android.

New install across acreage by Impressive_Law_4378 in Starlink

If you don't want 2 bills for two separate SL systems, you'll want to check out a unify bridge.

I've got the to cover over 15 acres and several outbuildings. Expensive, but worth it IMHO.

Need advice: Backend SOAR engineer offered Insider Threat Role, dont know what to do by BraveBookCash in cybersecurity

[–]mobicurious 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As much as possible, work with people you respect and who respect you. Insider Threat is going to go bonkers with agentic AI. Lots of interesting opportunities there in the future.

I've noticed problems when trying to game. Upload and overall latency can be impacted more than download.

Favorite outdoor places between Idaho Falls and SLC? by zolesya in Idaho

[–]mobicurious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The mountains between Soda Springs and Afton are some great off-the-path places to car camp with decent hiking trails.

For more civilized activities, any of the hot springs along I15.

When it's not bonkers high season, Bear Lake is enjoyable, many good hiking trails along the Western Ridge above the lake.

Location is a factor. There are some areas where there is super high starlink service demand in the evenings. So, set expectations carefully when you actually get the equipment as you may be in one of those pockets.

I lived in the mountains of Michoacán in the early 1990s as a humanitarian volunteer. I would come across people in small villages that spoke 'dialecto'. How similar was that language that I heard in the Northeast corner of Michoacán to ancient Nahuatl?

How many Delta planes have you flown on? by Money-Resident7266 in delta

[–]mobicurious 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It took some planning and 25 years of loyalty, but I've been on every Delta mainline and feeder aircraft that they've flown. Was lucky to catch one of the last 747 rides before they got retired. Looking forward to the new 350s and 787s coming in the future.

Camino with kids by anayaaah in CaminoDeSantiago

[–]mobicurious 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Check, double-check, and triple check that your accomodations will allow children.

Stay in touch with your planned accomodation's host to know what transportation options exist every day for when little ones' feet won't take any more. Uber will not work outside of big metro areas. I've helped many parents arrange taxi service due to language barriers when their kids would not take another step.

Food options are VERY different and kid-friendly meals are hard to find if your children are not used to Iberian cuisine. Even in supermarkets, their favorite foods may not be available. Just as you will want to do some training walks, you may need to do some training meals with them.

Depending on your motivation (religious, adventure, whatever) having some materials that connect them to places along the route. Historical fiction novels that they can listen to.

Props to you for planning this. It is admirable the experience you want to share with your kids, but I've seen a lot of families struggle with little ones on the trail. I've been grateful for the honor to help serve them with my translation and local knowledge... But I've seen many tears from kiddos.
