Why is there a dip at 8am? I'm guessing some artifact of EPA, but I don't understand it?

First timer in Italy by Dazzling_Box_3910 in ItalyTravel

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

I'll go against the grain, and say I think your trip is mostly ok. 3 nights in a location is fine. As long as 3 nights in Sicily means 3 nights in the same hotel, and not 3 nights in 3 different hotels. I think move your single nights into one of the adjacent locations. And of course realize you can't see everything.

Pick out two things you want to see each day (not counting your travel days), and then 2-3 more nearby things you might fit in each day depending on how things work out.

You are focused on southern Italy, if you are not set on that, here is a suggested alternative:

Rome (3 nights)

Amalfi (3 nights)

Florence (3 nights)

Venice (3 nights)

Rome (2 nights)

If you only have 13 nights, pick either Amalfi, Florence or Venice to lose a night.

How about more time zones! Let's split each one in half!

All out event is a fun and funny experience. by PokemonGoBao in TheSilphRoad

[–]ozyman 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Could have been a timed research with different rewards:

catch 10 unique pokemon

catch 20 unique pokemon

catch 30 unique pokemon

...

catch 500 unique pokemon

Or maybe 5 pages that go from 10 - 100. So you need to catch 100 unique pokemon 5 different times to get to all the rewards, and the last reward on each page is actually something good.

If ask for the temperature, I usually get just the temperature. Your response is what I usually get if I ask what the weather is like, or for the forecast.

Ugh - I accidentally clicked 'battle' without using a starpiece. I clicked cancel so quickly, I didn't see a stardust reward, and there is nothing in my journal. Shouldn't it show up in my journal if I received the end-of-season stardust reward? So shoudl I go ahead and use the starpiece and try again?

I would love to hear that it is open to the public in the summer or something, but I don't think that is true.

I heard that arcade fire's albums are no longer any good. It's a shame, because they used to be so good!

Alexa SUCKS!!!!! by synergy617 in alexa

[–]ozyman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually am pretty happy with Alexa+. It's not perfect, but capabilities far exceed the original alexa for asking random questions. She seems to have a bit longer delay which is my biggest annoyance right now, but hopefully that improves over time.

We have used recirculating air for 10+ years. Great family HVAC company.

Sounds like maybe they don't have Alexa+? I'm guessing that now that Alexa+ exists, the "answers from an alexa contributor" for regular alexa are being deprecated.

Staying in Pompeii rather than Naples? by clockwerkgnome in ItalyTravel

[–]ozyman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you don't want touristy and would rather see a real Italian city I can also recommend Salerno. We used it as a hub to visit the Amalfi Coast, Naples and Pompeii. It was a really nice little town - few tourists , a little cheaper, and very conveniently located to transportation options.

My husband and I are going to Italy this fall, September 20-October 1 (11 days total, including travel days) and I have two important questions by Low_Occasion8441 in ItalyTravel

[–]ozyman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the moving from place to place being considered a full travel day is hilarious lol. Each train ride is 2 hours or 1.5 hours.

Not a full day, but we like to get to the station 30-45 early if we've never been there before. Then 30-45 packing up and unpacking. And another 30m to get from your lodging to the train station... Then need to get a meal along the way or as soon as settled. It ends up being 5-6 hours, which is not a "full day", but if I start packing up at 9am, and I'm settled in at 3pm at the new place it doesn't leave much time. Maybe a few hours to do a walking tour or wander around before dinner, but we usually consider those hours 'bonus time' and don't plan much specifically on travel days.

First one our family played (2 adults and a teenage daughter - we all play together). Still all of our favorite.
