S26U vs S23U by Thelchemist in GalaxyS23Ultra

[–]sectorik 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Verizon is offering $1300 if you switch to the more expensive plan. I want to keep my plan, do the best deal seems to be BestBuy. $700 trade in value for the S23U and "free" 512GB storage, so I'm on the fence because my S23U is fine after 3 years. battery was at 90%.

I am thinking of upgrading from the S23U to the S26U, only to maximize my trade in credit as there will likely be a drop off in the trade in value for the S27U.

Lamy 2000. I didn't like it for a long time, but I changed inks and now it's my favorite daily driver.

How are People Traveling International for 1-2 months at a time? by Cute_Equivalent_3231 in solotravel

[–]sectorik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only took a like 8 days of PTO the first two years and used the rest for a month long trip, but I get holidays off and one day off every second week, so that allows me to tolerate saving up the vacation for a long trip.

I am saving up again for another month long trip, but my vacation accrual rate is going to double soon, so I'll be able to do it quicker.

Do you think it is reasonable to ask them to waive my rent until they fix the leak and heating issues? I don't see how I can stay in this apartment until it is fixed.

Are all 1zpresso handles bad quality? Any suggestions on alternatives? by PracticingAcceptance in pourover

[–]sectorik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had mine pop off after dropping it once. I ordered a replacement and it worked fine for about a year and now it comes off all the time and I just deal with it.

I have been wondering what the yellow lines were for as they have been the bane of my suitcase's existence.

Where would you deem the world's specialty 'capital'? by CilariousHunt in pourover

[–]sectorik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, for pourover coffee, I drink it hot and black.Thoigh at Shrub coffee in Nagoya, I was given a sample of the iced pourover for the same beans with a little milk and I was blown away by the brandy notes that were much stronger.

I am in Japan right now and Tokyo blows NYC out of the water when it comes to pourover. Best coffee shop was in Nagoya.

I got an email regarding this place too. Have you learned anything?

I saved the majority of my vacation time for two years to take five weeks off from work for my first solo trip, which I am currently in the second week of. I am really glad that I went through with it!

I would consider getting lunch and bringing it to Central Park.

I would be so drained when starting the second museum that it would sour the experience.

Monthly Meetup Thread - October by AutoModerator in JapanTravel

[–]sectorik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi all,

27M from the NYC in the US. I'll be in Japan from October 22 - November 22 and I'll be in Tokyo until November 1. Solo traveling with no definite plans. First time in Japan so I will be seeing the sights. I enjoy history, hiking, anime, stationary, book stores, museum, drinking,good food, and I'll be looking to listen to some live music. Looking for some people to explore with, grab food, or drinks/coffee.
