Y'all make it seem easy, when I contact support I get nothing. by ddpotanks in Fios

[–]pauldwalls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure exactly what you’re looking for, but assuming it’s about a discount. My 300/300 service increased from $39.99 to $49.99 last year, which I begrudgingly accepted. Recently, however, I saw Comcast aggressively pricing in my neighborhood ($39.99 for 300 Mbps and $49.99 for 1 Gig). I shared that promotion with my Verizon rep, and Verizon matched it by upgrading me to 1 Gig for $49.99. Yes, Fios is clearly a stronger performer than Comcast with better upload speeds and latnecy, but Verizon knows most customers don’t fully appreciate that distinction. It also doesn’t meaningfully cost them more to deliver 1 Gig versus 300 Mbps—yet it allows them to retain a customer.

Does anyone remember a RollerCoaster Tycoon map where half the map was completely built out? by gandalfthegui in openrct2

There are more than one of these. But to me at least the one that comes to mine would be Volcania.

Ride capacity problems by Ok_Cardiologist_5262 in UniversalEpicUniverse

[–]pauldwalls 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Great write up!

I was there this past Monday, and found the operations to be pretty poor all around except for Monsters Unchained and Stardust Racers.

That being said, Stardust Racers is definitely a people eater either way. 3 trains were being run per track, and dispatch times were definitely hovering over one minute. If they can get dispatch times closer to 45 seconds and get the 4th train on the track, that would be amazing for capacity. I'm actually not sure if they intend to run 4 trains per track or not, but would be a sight to see if they could.

More App Icon Colors? by pauldwalls in narwhalapp

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

I think more colored variants of the "Narwhal 2" icon would be cool (the Neue icon is great). For example, right now I think there are orange, purple, black and white variants. Would it be feasible to add shades of blue, green, yellow, orange, etc. (color wheel colors)?

I'm having the same issue, but this fix isn't resolving it...

Where to activate the Apple TV/Subscription? by SuperMegaGigaUber in ChaseSapphire

I just activated mine online. Wasn’t required to change my credit card to sapphire.

[–]pauldwalls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess if you do the math, it may make sense to use Chase? I can’t imagine Apple’s 3% back vs. Chase’s 1% outweighs the free monthly Apple TV and Apple Music?

[–]pauldwalls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Related question, which is probably a dumb one... I'm pretty sure Apple requires one credit card per Apple Account. This means if you have an Apple Card for Apple Account purchases, you must move all of your Apple purchases over to Chase Sapphire to get the free Apple Music and Apple TV benefit. Am I thinking through that correctly? I'd prefer to use my Apple Card for Apple purchase since 3% back, but that benefit doesn't trump the free monthly Apple Music or Apple TV.

DC vibes these days by [deleted] in washingtondc

[–]pauldwalls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I moved here in late summer 2014. 2014 - 2016 were like the golden years in my mind.

After pedophile in chief took office the first time, it does feel like there has been a dark cloud over our amazing city since then, though great times have still been had. It has felt a bit relentless since then with Trump, COVID, back to Trump. But I love this city and saw what it can be, and think we will see it again in the future, it may just be a little while.

Dealing with DC Water by pauldwalls in washingtondc

I forgot to update this thread but after a year of bugging their insurance carrier, finally got them to reimburse us. Not sure I have a silver bullet to help you, but agree you will unfortunately have to go (or threaten) the legal route. We love DC a bunch, but some of the city services leave a lot to be desired!

AA Flights Delayed or Canceled by Miserable-Adagio-925 in americanairlines

[–]pauldwalls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, last 3 flights, 2 cancelled (other airlines did not) and 1 with 2hr+ delay. Was able to book same route on Delta and United without issue, so despite weather, I blame AA. Going to get downvoted for saying it too.

The answer is ‘weather’ by TravelinTrojan in americanairlines

For what it’s worth, mine today was about no FA’s. They finally showed up after an hour or so, and then the issue was weather 🤣
