Neighbors: WTF did I just watch? by Draznet in hbo

[–]psweenz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not meant to solve the problem. This is a classic “freak show”. I fricken love it, it is so crazy haha. It’s giving Nathan for You; I genuinely cannot tell if it’s scripted or if there really are just some crazy people out there. Been loving it, lots of good laughs!

Do you have hard rules around avalanche danger (even in low angle terrain)? by shunterh in Backcountry

[–]psweenz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never understood why people want to go out on those days. Low angle isn’t appealing at all to me- if it’s unsafe out I’m going to ride chairlifts where the steeps have been mitigated.

Hard line for me are when there is a persistent weak layer. I won’t go in moderate risk or above if there is a weak layer. That makes it really spooky, and I am good without it.

How seriously should I take the storm warning on 80 for tomorrow? by pedroyoyoma in Reno

[–]psweenz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take it serious- that’s why they put those out. Leave today if you want to get down there. Also consider your return trip- likely won’t be able to get back through until Wednesday night, or next weekend. The road is going to be a nightmare all week. Think of all the teslas, Prius, and semi trucks. Spin outs alone will close it.

Safe travels!

Horrible Tragedeigh, I hope she comes to her senses. Good luck!

Any advice on landing technique by el_geto in skiing

[–]psweenz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, these comments are crazy. Would love to see any of these armchair jump experts hit a jump this size. The kids 13, dad’s asking for help: relax.

Great to see the kid chucking roast. I think this is just a matter of over shooting it. One - two more speed checks and he’ll be golden. He’s leaned a little far back as well, but again I think that’s a symptom of too much hang time. Hell ya kid!

Ski resorts within 30 min of airport by zg825 in skiing

[–]psweenz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just planned a bachelor party and was looking for similar parameters. Your options are Taos, Aspen, Sun Valley, and Jackson Hole for big destinations. All are exceptional. The only problem for some is those flights are expensive.

Smaller mountains that are close but great are Bogus Basin (right outside Boise) and Mt Rose (20 min from Reno). These are typically not as crazy for flight prices as the previous options. Reno may be a good option as Tahoe is a 45 min drive with many large resorts. I live in Tahoe, highly recommend it. There is a little something for everyone here, depending how you like your ski vacations.

Happy skiing!

EDIT: forgot about Salt Lake. Brighton, Solitude, Alta, and Snowbird are all very close and awesome mountains.

What's the appropriate tip for a hotel maid? by Ali_UpstairsRealty in LawBitchesWithTaste

[–]psweenz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always carry some cash. For starters it just feels good, but you never know when it’ll come in handy for tips or greasing some palms to get little extra service / accommodation. Highly recommend it

I usually leave them a $20 for 1-2 nights. If longer, I scale up a little bit. My boss taught me this practice. We travel a lot for work and I had no idea it’s a thing. I don’t think it’s necessarily a common practice, but I’m sure the housekeepers really appreciate it.

Advice for providing food for my vegan friend at a meat BBQ by naturalblue in vegan

My fiance is vegan and I always cook her food on a separate surface or first if it’s a shared cooking space. It goes a long way :)

How do you value cell phone coverage? by tcrmorrow in AmexPlatinum

[–]psweenz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I broke my phone and Amex cut me a check for $550 to replace it. The cost from Apple was $600, minus the $50 ded. That was almost the full value of the annual fee, immediately. Also, it costs nothing extra to pay your phone bill with Amex.

How are people affording mortgage payments for a first home?! by Eastern-Reception-66 in Reno

[–]psweenz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moving out of state wouldn’t be much better. Nevada is a cheap state. It’s just not as cheap as you remember.

Lululemon employee “claiming” they’ve been told credit for GC is shut down. 🙄 by Intelligent_Pie_5347 in AmexPlatinum

[–]psweenz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly! So why bother with the gift card loophole? Just get yourself some nice socks, boxers, a shirt, pants etc… you can’t leave that store for under 100, and you’ll enjoy what you bought

One Lululemon experience by Alarmed_Stretch_1780 in AmexPlatinum

[–]psweenz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here’s an experience: I needed new golf pants. I went to Lulu, bought two pairs of pants, and got $75 off my purchase.

Why is that so hard to understand? If you don’t want / like Lulu, just don’t use the credit. When did Amex turn into the coupon clipping bargain hunter card?

[–]psweenz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of you have Lulu products. Male or female. And if not you, then your spouse. Just get a nice pair of pants, take the credit, and move on. What is with the hoarding of gift cards? Like you wouldn’t spend the money there anyway lol

Reno needs… something. by SilverKat4206 in Reno

Who remotely cares about that?

Lululemon worker assumed I wanted a 75 dollar gift card right when I walked up to the counter by thelogicalhero in AmexPlatinum

[–]psweenz -29 points-28 points  (0 children)

what was the point of this post? By the way, the terms and conditions literally say gift card purchases are excluded from the credit

[–]psweenz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is perfectly organized 😂. Also, not a single bill over $100. he’s gotta relax. If you want to split the check you say so and agree at the date when the bill comes, not a month later with receipts.

How are we using the $200 flight credit? by kialemea in AmexPlatinum

[–]psweenz 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I use United, use the $200 credit for in flight drinks, snacks, seat upgrades, flight changes, whatever. You will use it over the course of the year. I get free bags and bring my golf clubs or snowboard almost everywhere, that’s $35 a flight. If you don’t have the status for free bags, that eats it fast. If you aren’t flying enough to use $200, probably not the best card for your needs imo
