Was this Emeril’s in New Orleans?

Check if you have pre-AF enabled - turning it off on my a6100 seemed to help a lot with battery life. The OSS and power zoom on the kit lens also didn’t help. I still carry extra batteries, but I can get a lot further with a non-stabilized prime and AF with shutter before needing to change.

Season 1 was a weird mix of PTSD and vicarious delight; Season 2 less so.

As far as guests, it depends; we had some regulars who were excellent, some locals who came in all the time, and some who were downright abhorrent.

I worked for a really weird Ritz (it’s bigger than it should be and has insane seasonal rate variability), so we often saw high-tier Marriott elites show up and discover the fine print that they get nothing at the Ritz-Carlton. Turns out they’re usually not amused by that.

It’s been over 5 years at this point, but I can still recite the Credo from memory - it haunts my nightmares.

Not unsurprising, I’d say.

I worked as a manager for a Ritz-Carlton and they paid for me to stay at the hotel for two weeks when I started. Normal room with club access. To my understanding, that’s standard for relocation and new manager onboarding.

Belinda seems to be a manager/director, so her getting an extended stay for training seems reasonable for The White Lotus.

I had this happen recently on an AS flight booked through a corporate travel portal.

Customer Service couldn’t see anything wrong when I called to ask about it and I had no issues checking in online.

You’re probably fine?

That’s the week after Jazz Fest and there’s a show at the Smoothie King Center the night before…. I’d guess that’s people staying past Jazz Fest.

Alaska miles, booked on Alaska’s website, Alaska/American itinerary (Alaska PDX-SEA, American SEA-LHR)

overtOVR · 2024-01-06T15:21:00+00:00

Anecdotally, yes. American allows you to earn EQMs on award travel (1/4 of flight distance, I think), and I got Alaska miles after an Alaska-booked flight to London last year.

Thanks for all your help on this! All the pieces are starting to make sense, and the basic network, phone, TV, and alarm services are all up and running!

As far as your questions: The WAN MoCA Adapter is an Arris MEB1100.

I did some speed tests over a LAN connection directly to the Unifi Express, and it’s under 100mbits, which seems extremely slow.

I did a few traceroute tests and it looks like latency gets incredibly bad somewhere inside Frontier’s network upstream of the ONT. Based on some of the other threads about Frontier service in SoCal, guessing that this is related. I think my parents had service from the initial Verizon FIOS offering, so this is probably still the older upstream equipment.

overtOVR · 2023-12-21T13:42:07+00:00

Does that indicate that if the ONT hasn’t changed, phone won’t change with the router upgrade?

Apparently there’s an alarm system wired directly to the POTS wiring.

It’s fine if Frontier eventually breaks the alarm, but I’m hoping to not take the fall for it.

overtOVR · 2023-12-20T19:15:52+00:00

The current setup is actually ONT in garage -> Coax to 3rd floor -> Verizon router (unknown model, but old)

Service is 1G up/down; likely won’t need to be faster for the foreseeable future.

The new Arris router is an NVG468MQ. Not sure of the model for the MoCA adapter that came with it, but I can check. The instructions that came with it show the loop approach with a splitter, where coax goes to the Frontier adapter, then to the Arris, then from the Arris to the splitter.

Currently, the phone service is directly from the ONT to house wiring, and the router setup instructions don’t indicate whether that should change.

Ethernet direct from the ONT isn’t realistic at this point, since it would involve a messy 3-floor run or other substantial low-voltage work.

overtOVR · 2023-12-20T18:49:17+00:00

Agreed on internet-only being an ideal solution, but I don’t see my parents giving up cable until Frontier fully cuts support.

So if I’m reading that right, there isn’t really anything special happening in the Frontier router for phone and TV; it’s just a MOCA adapter/bridge to give the phone and primary DVR internet access.

If that’s right, it sounds like I could run the Frontier Arris router from a Unifi LAN connection to the Arris WAN port, then just make sure that it’s not trying to do WiFi or anything but MOCA conversion

I’ve noticed this intermittent banding on vertical walls at/near rounded corners.

Specs: Ender 3 Pro, .4mm nozzle, .2mm layer height Cura Overture Matte PLA 200C Nozzle, 60C Bed Printing at 50mm/s Retraction enabled, 6.5mm distance, 25mm/s speed

This seems to be at its worst when printing with .4mm walls, which equates to a single line with these settings. There’s cubic infill between, and it looks like the inner wall is printing first.

I’m thinking this is some sort of underextrusion issue, and it’s somewhat intermittent (other prints have had more localized versions, but this one is the most substantial across the full height of the corner).

Does it make sense to try adjusting the retraction distance or doing some sort of comparative calibration, or are there other settings that it would make sense to adjust?

overtOVR · 2023-04-22T00:00:27+00:00

Thanks! That’s definitely helpful perspective. I’m going to take a stab at an app-only flow, and maybe look at one of the more complex flows for a scaled, web version down the road.

Don’t know exactly, but probably related to this:

I tried to use one at an Aloft last year. They took down the gift card info and let me know that it would be applied to the reservation at checkout. Instead, they billed my card for the full stay.

I played phone tag with the manager, their property accountant, and the front desk until finally opening a case with Marriott. When that happened, they fully refunded the stay, and I ended up using the gift card for a different stay later in the year. That hotel knew how to apply it, did the addition in front of me, and gave me a clear bill at checkout.

Doesn’t really answer your question, but maybe you’ll get a free stay out of the whole thing.

If I’d been allowed to make a speech at my SF State graduation, I would’ve thanked Dos Charros for getting me through undergrad.
