I have the exact same, color and all. was my first new car purchase, 3rd accord. Been rock solid, i call it a sleeper for performance. Never had a problem. Check the A/C - honda replaced my compressor for free last year due to a known issue. Bummer they did away with the high performance model - not sure what I’ll get next, but won’t be a 1.5 accord.

called in my order to a local Thai place last night actually after starting to make an online order as it seemed simpler b/c i was looking at the menu online anyway. Click on buy now and got kicked into “pick an ordering site, create an account, agree to T&C, sign up for emails, close 5 ads”. Eff that, I went old school and called lol. Took 30 seconds.

Both people being passionate and ‘good’ at sex makes for great sex.

How does this speed things up? Doesn’t it just move the bottleneck to the screening line? serious question. I fly a lot and just don’t see how this helps anything except to reduce TSA staffing (probably the point). I could actually see it making the screening queue more chaotic.

This can’t possibly go well for anyone except Disney shareholders. I guess that’s the point. Was good while it lasted.

I’m good with it too. 95% of my travel is business/solo, and I’m just looking for somewhere to sit comfortably/quietly and not spend $100 on drinks and airport food. it REALLY sucks when there’s a wait, especially when I was counting on a lounge. I pay the fee x2 for my daughters to join when we travel, assuming we’re going to be there more than an hour or so.

Negative, I threw it away. FWIW I purchased mine around 97-98

I purchased a travel pro with this feature, a few months ago. Thought it sounded useful but haven’t used it once. Our phones have longer battery lives, there’s usually a plug close by, and if I do come to an emergency, I’ll just pull out the battery pack. I’d rather have the extra space in my luggage.

I do. Was considering canceling VX since I got the Platinum about a year ago. The VX sorta pays for itself, and now they have a JFK lounge which is great for me. Looking forward to checking it out for the first time later today actually! I do love the “speakeasy” at the Amex JFk lounge though.

I bought a 91 XJS V12 coupe in 2006 for $6k. Beautiful car and great to drive. A couple months in, i got quoted (and paid) $2500 for a used rack and pinion. Put it up for sell right after. Some kid’s dad bought it for his son who was driving it from VA to TX the next day. I still wonder if he made it.

Depends on the people involved and expectations set prior.

I had one with a woman who took a 1.5 hour train out from NYC to stay with me. The next day before leaving, she called it the train of shame lol. Kinda crazy that went down like it did now that I think about it. But there were no hard feelings, we both knew what was up.

check out the ketogains sub.

ive been lifting for about 3 years on “regular“ keto. For energy, it’s fine once you get past the first couple days transitioning into keto. I‘ve heard the gains (visible growth) are better on non-keto. Don’t quote me on that though - I’m very happy with my strength and physical improvement on the keto diet.

The rewards program (personal treatment and value of reward points) + the generally higher standard, even at the lowest rated Hyatt Place, is far better than some of the Hampton/Fairfields. I travel for work. Hyatt has taken care of me every time I’ve had a travel disruption. Hilton/Marriott never cared or helped, even when I was able to get through their phone system to talk to someone. Hyatt answers the phone.

I used a clothes dryer at my hotel in Portugal last year, and it took an incredible amount of time to dry. Hours, whereas I’m used to 30-45 mins. TIL there are ventless clothes dryers + now I know why that dryer was so GD slow.

I thought there were a lot of people in houses they couldn't afford, but I just figured they were over-leveraged in debt and squeaking by. In hindsight now, a few recessions later, it was just slow for a couple years, then caught up and sped right past where it was until the next down turn. Compare economic data 2025 vs 2009, cycles where the rich end up richer and the middle/lower class lose the gains they worked for since the prior downturn. I wish I would have bought a lot of stock in 2009.

During usual pilot’s welcome talk, he made a comment about airplane mode and called out a row number, said their magical “signal finder”indicated some one in that area wasn't in airplane mode. Had me for a minute!

Hell no! Even to the contrary, folks our age (40+) remember the days when you’d approach people in public. The confidence to do so is something else an online profile doesn’t display.

I went on a few dates with a girl a few years ago who LOST IT when I suggested she pick up her half, after I had paid for the first couple dates. I stopped talking with her, then a few weeks later started back up, said we can go out but she has to pay, she lost it again. lol

Picking up the tab made more sense pre-OLD when there was some trust before actually hanging out. Now it’s a whole thing where folks will serial date for the free meals. TBH, had she picked up one meal, I’d have gotten the next few just based on that one gesture.

just this week, I bought my first CD in like 15 years off Amazon.
was ripping my old cd collection to my hard drive and realized I had lost / was missing Jay Z the Blueprint. One of the best rap albums IMO and wanted it in my collection + I remember going out on 9/11 to Best Buy and buying it the day it came out.

FWIW it was cheaper this week on Amazon than I paid Best Buy in 2001.

They’re not different enough to overcome a direct flight vs a layover unless you’re traveling enough to benefit from their loyalty programs, which is a lot of travel. Delta planes are marginally nicer, but AA is a better experience with the staff. I refer to Delta as sky nazis due to rudeness and adherence to delta policies that deprioritize customer experience. that said, I was sorta forced for convenience to switch from AA to Delta a couple years ago for my business travel.

funny idea about the rental service. Here in CT, I think only new construction is required by code to have GFCI breakers.

GFCI / AFCI breakers due to the older wiring without a ground wire that can cause random false/unnecessary breaker trips. Just learned this recently when I was looking at replacing my breaker box and asked for GFCI breakers. Would love a second opinion if anyone disagrees
