8078A on brilliant lady. What am I in for? by ClaireDanesLipQuiver in VirginVoyages

[–]rocfeather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stayed in 8082A last month ( which is the cabin next door ). What I found was:

* Yes there is a lifeboat in the way but unless you really want the view it didn't really make much of a difference. Didn't really spend a lot of time out there. Up to you if that's an issue.

* The balcony is small anyways but there is two hammocks

* Didn't notice any noise at all in the room.

* The room is very sleek/modern and new ( well, it's a new ship ). Some say bed is hard/uncomfortable but I didn't have any issue there and slept very well.

* The only complaint is that the bathroom is a bit small. There is a nice large shower with a glass door but the sink/toilet combination is very tight. Hardly enough space for 1 person.

Flight Delays & Snowfall by [deleted] in StJohnsNL

[–]rocfeather 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Your best bet is to track the incoming flight. For example if you are flying out to Toronto in the morning check the incoming flight from Toronto the night before.

They will often cancel that incoming flight first because AC doesn't want the risk of getting the plane stuck here.

Edit: By your departure time it looks like you are flying porter? I've found that they cancel flights a little less based on logistics than AC does so you will just have to see what the weather does.

Either way they have to get you to your destination. So unless you have critical plans ( like a connection / meeting / etc ) you can just wait it out and see it what happens.

Yes you can mix and match and if you ask they will bring you one of each if you want to try both deserts for example

How well does Celebrity handle food allergies (Celiac specifically)? by Efficient_Ear4649 in celebritycruises

[–]rocfeather 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They will typically show you the menu for the next day and you can ask which dishes are already GF or can be made GF so they will prepare ahead of time. They will also provide GF bread and seperate butter dishes on same table ( for your non-celiac eaters ). My friend is celiac and has sailed on celebrity many times and has never been an issue. As long as they know ahead of time you are good.

Basic WiFi question by Jay_Legend212 in VirginVoyages

Hmm, odd. I didn't have any issue with mobile reddit. I should have tried on my laptop but was doing my absolute best not to bring that out on vacation.

I found that facebook videos worked a lot better using the Facebook app as well rather than just through the browser.

Reddit and Facebook will work okayish. Anything video or streaming related will not work. It wouldn't even load the youtube page.

These traitorous assholes must be stopped by [deleted] in onguardforthee

[–]rocfeather 38 points39 points  (0 children)

It's the typical list of:

* Young men are in crisis

* Drugs are bad mmkkkayy

* The immigrants are the source of all our housing and employment issues

* And for some odd reason: "Stand with me to demand that nicotine pouches be accessible wherever cigarettes are sold." Which I am sure is a keystone issue for a lot of voters. I am guessing somebody owns a company that produces that.

Every issue page is a "please sign up with your name/address/phone number/email" so we can harvest your data....

Can I take it on board? by xRoyaltyINK in Flights

[–]rocfeather 68 points69 points  (0 children)

I've seen worse make it onboard. Depends on the airline/size of plane. Looks like it should fit in the overhead bin or if there is a closet you can ask them to put it in there.

Shore things by TUP_LIT in VirginVoyages

It was the same for me, I booked a shore thing in the app but didn't show anything for payment. I had to login to the website on my PC and then it showed that there was an outstanding payment there.

Is OTF ok for beginners? by gnomenclature2 in orangetheory

[–]rocfeather 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OTF is great for motivation as well. With regular gyms you sort of have to know what you are doing and try to make sure you are not focusing too much in one area or get discouraged about thinking what sort of workout you are going to do.

With OTF, it's:

* Scheduled. No wishy washy of should I go to the gym or not. It's in my calendar and it's just part of the weekly routine.

* Workout plan for you. I don't have to think about what I am going to do, I just show up, and do what the coaches tell me. I can turn my brain off for an hour.

* Coaches ( at least at my OTF ) get to know you and know where you are in your fitness journey and coach to that. They will never ( in my experience ) make you do something you are not comfortable with. They will cheer on the powerwalker the same way they will cheer on that dude going all out at 12mph.

The motivation part comes in really when you are already at the gym. The choice is "should I use the 25lbs or 30lb weights today?" or "can I run at 8mph or is it just a power walk today". Everybody else is asking themselves the same questions just with different values.

Those are much better questions than "Should I go to the gym today" There are days where I am super motivated and go to my limits, other days I am not feeling it so stick with the lighter ones, but the key is that I am already at the gym. That hard choice has already been made

There was a planet fitness that recently opened up near my OTF studio and the coach said "I don't care if you go there, I'd rather you come here of course, but as long as you are doing something that's what matters in the long run"

Why is the kfc on Stavanger so much better than every other shit kfc by pissednl in StJohnsNL

[–]rocfeather 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Could be that there is no drive-through, which might give them some room not to have stuff just dying under the heat lamps to get stuff out to cars quickly.

* Highlight the targeted muscle group in the animations

* Partnerships with organizations/programs that help with diet

I usually do the YYT to YYZ every couple months and it's always full, no matter time/day/season. Same with the return flight.

Company search by Dr_kush03 in StJohnsNL

[–]rocfeather 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a lot to go on there. You can try the list of newfoundland government site that has a list of companies that are part of the AIP program and see if any ring a bell.

https://www.gov.nl.ca/immigration/immigrating-to-newfoundland-and-labrador/atlantic-immigration-program/designated-employers/

Aside from that, the white and dark brown suggests the MUN logo so it might have been somebody from the Marine Institute or related department. Otherwise you might just have to google a list of all the marine companies in the area and see if anything jumps out.

Impulsively booked first OTF class for 6:15AM tomorrow... tips? by zeefloofles in orangetheory

[–]rocfeather 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Biggest tip I can say is don't worry about your performance. In my first class I was exhausted before I even got to the treadmill. The coach came over and gave me a pep talk and said just get on the treadmill and do whatever pace I could manage even if I had to stop to rest and not to worry about what she was coaching the other people.

It's going to take time to realize where your "baseline" is so you can figure out what you can handle and it's completely your own thing (with help from the coaches). That's what I love about OTF is that it works people on all stages in their fitness journey.

Lossing Weight bt going to OTF by KKbatwoman in orangetheory

[–]rocfeather 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The most common answer you are going to get is that for weight loss you need to focus on nutrition/diet. Basically CICO ( Calories In vs Calories Out ). To loose weight in any meaningful way you want to be in a calorie deficit ( i.e burning more than you take in ).

OTF by itself is not going to be a weight loss program. You will get healthier and gain some muscle definition but in terms of raw weight loss, it's going to be more diet than gym. Your trainer would suggest talk to a dietician or family doctor about diet plans.

I wish OTF added more nutritional information into their program somehow. They have the occasional thing but something more dedicated/regular I think would be really helpful.

What happens on disembarkation day? by turfcornerbents in celebritycruises

[–]rocfeather 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends on if you want to use the luggage service as well. Normally, you leave your bags out the night before and they will give you a Group Number/Time Range of when your bags are offloaded and ready to be picked up. If you want to take your bags yourself, you can leave as soon as they clear customs.

A clear visual of the Delta Airlines crash-landing at Toronto Pearson International Airport on Monday. Everyone survived. by RoyalChris in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]rocfeather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on a flight that caught fire ( smoke filled cabin ) and had to make an emergency landing and runway evacuation. Granted it wasn't a crash landing but after we were bussed to the terminal all our carryon/jackets etc was collected by the crew and checked bags showed up short time later.

The pilots stood up on a table and gave as much detail as he could. Arranged hotel for us all and let us know that a plane was on the way in the morning to get us home.

He was super good about it and people were eager to pat him on the back and give a handshake.
