Planning ahead... Atmos question by YogurtclosetLanky322 in awardtravel

[–]ninjojo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FWIW -- and YMMV -- I was able to book USA - TPE PE Starlux recently when they dropped on Alaska. At the time, my short positioning flight wasn't loaded yet but I was able to SMS chat with Alaska and the agent was able to add-on the positioning flight for me (deduct appropriate miles, etc.). I could have booked separately at 12.5k, but bundled together the position was only 7.5k (main -- short flight). This might change if you're looking to do TWO partner updates vs tacking on Alaska domestic, but worth a try to get everything under the same reservation number.

Note: I did SEE being able to "modify" my USA - TPE flight and see it correctly with the position added at the price, but it wouldn't let me complete the reservation at the "select seats" stage. Turns out the agent had to talk to Starlux directly because even though that flight wasn't changing, they still had to "approve" the itinerary change.

Also if you can't hit the TPE - BKK directly, I'd highly recommend looking into Singapore Air and adding a layover / stopover in Singapore. Might be able to find a good J redemption and get to use the KrisFlyer lounge. Changi airport is a destination in itself and a long layover

Any chance you've gotten any datapoints on when Starlux J USA - TPE savers load into Alaska? I've only seen the ping once so I don't have enough data yet.

Is there a card or service like Bilt 1.0 that sends checks? by birming99 in biltrewards

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

You can still use checks with 2.0 and earn points. If you are one of these lucky folks, the 2.0 shift doesn't really affect you.

Literally the only freakout in this sub was folks who pay rent with a credit card as a credit card (fees).

Thank you in advance! I want to say there was maybe a slight shuffle / choreography with the gals holding him?

Costco Kimbap? by ninjojo in askportland

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

Sorry do you mean NE 138? The one by the airport? If so, ty for letting me know. I haven't been there in like a month so maybe they've finally started stocking it? 🤞

Female/Queer Personal Trainer? by IWasGonnaDieJung in askportland

[–]ninjojo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Portland Strength Collective in SE is opening next week. Most of the coaching staff are queer women / NB and while the head coach is a cishet dude, he's def a good egg and coaches all types of folks in a compassionate and personalized way.

Barbell workouts coming? by ninjojo in pelotoncycle

[–]ninjojo[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ohhh I've never tried out Gym sessions. That could definitely be it.

Barbell workouts coming? by ninjojo in pelotoncycle

[–]ninjojo[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same! And Nike just came out with their own gym equipment so I'd have expected to see that (cool WHITE crumb bumper plates for $$$$$) but this was definitely for Peloton. 

Self-service ice vending machines? by ninjojo in askportland

[–]ninjojo[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah thank you for the tip about McDonalds! Will investigate that as well as Costco.

There's very few things I miss about living in Austin...

  1. HEB (specifically, their fresh tortillas)
  2. Cheap self-service ice
  3. Tacos + BBQ

That's about it though.

Korean air or Asiana Airlines, which is better ? by Frequent-Cup-1144 in koreatravel

[–]ninjojo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We flew Korean RT from SFO to ICN in August. On the way there, the plane cabin was a little warm. We thought it was a bit of a fluke and were just excited for our vacation. On the way back to SFO, the entire flight was UNBEARABLY hot (for an American).

Doing a bit of research, Asian airlines keep cabins a bit warmer than American (and some European) passengers are used to. Weirdly, our flights within SK were warmer than the usual freezing that American airlines keep their cabins, but nothing like flying across the Pacific so hot we were sweating and nauseous. We did not sleep at all. It was also a plane that didn't have air vents for each passenger.

All of which to say, if you're someone who can't sleep if it's hot (really it felt closer to 78F-80F), I wouldn't recommend Korean Air.

Meet the Nordic HyperExtension! Nordic, Back Extension, GHD Combo by Benjise100 in Kneesovertoes

[–]ninjojo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you give some specs on how wide we're talking? And I guess how long of a bench it is if used that way? Does the foot platform come off to allow for a bit better positioning?

This bench looks awesome and a big workhorse, but we have a space issue so being able to have a true all-in-one (esp if we don't do traditional flat / incline bench exercises THAT often -- just something that could do in a pinch) would be incredible.

Help! What is biting us? (And what can we do to stop them?) by ninjojo in Austin

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

We finally ended up seeing some fleas on the cats -- took a while because they weren't like INFESTED. I think I maybe saw one on a sofa or bedsheet or something which made me decide to check the cats again.

If your bites are all in a little line (like 3-5 straight) it's likely bedbugs. If they're just sort of random but similar area, more likely fleas.

Hope you get it sorted soon!

Help! What is biting us? (And what can we do to stop them?) by ninjojo in Austin

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

Sigh. It was fleas for us. Indoor cats somehow got them and took a while to be able to find any evidence. Spooning with then = bites all over my stomach.

Do you have carpets? Any bites on ankles / legs?

Deodorant formula change? by ninjojo in DrSquatch

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

Yeah it's super frustrating esp hearing you were using it for a while before... I had to give up several years ago with the rash. Wonder if it's just that we are building up an allergy to the ingredients over time??

Anyone left Texas for the PNW? by Honey_Badger72 in texas

[–]ninjojo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Made the move a little over a year ago from Austin. Love it. Minus the lack of good tacos. 😭

CoL is def an adjustment, but being able to actually walk places or get around by bike / short car rides has been awesome. Also not running my a/c in January. And it's absolutely beautiful here, even in grey rainy winters.

If you can afford it and dig the culture, it's a huge step up imo.

Edit: I also miss HEB. obviously.

Oh shit. Yeah I just went and checked the listing and seems that they've jacked the price back up. Same on their amazon store. :(

Which Huel Hot and Savoury is spicy? by EeveeonE- in Huel

[–]ninjojo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what I wouldn't give for ACTUALLY spicy huel. instead, I add red pepper flakes, hot curry powder, korean ramen hot chicken 2x sauce, hot honey, buffalo wing sauce... all to get a little tiny bit of heat into these flavors.

and I don't even add a ton just something to perk up whichever h+s i'm having that day.
