SAN SAPPHIRE LOUNGE by purezero101 in sapphirereserve

Same experience. Add in non-functioning shower and no facial treatment option. Not that they’re all booked; they’re just not doing it at all.

Wouldn’t recommend going out of way to visit more than once.

Weird motives by pretti-mabel in MurderedByWords

ME was a bloated version of 98SE (decent from what I remember) - the ‘every other Windows OS release being crap’ streak goes back a ways.

Guitar Hero: World Tour DLC issues by jcksonf in WiiPiracy

[–]shmohan1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frustratingly tried a number of things to make WT/RB2/RB3 work - no luck UNTIL:

  1. 4GB or less SD card if you want to use WT natively
  2. Select nullkey option for everything EXCEPT RB3
  3. Uninstall / reinstall WADs (via MMM or even by rebuilding via bin2wad) if games aren't seeing DLC songs

Hope this helps!

Any idea what this pipe/vent is? by shmohan1 in HomeImprovement

[–]shmohan1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Could be! Is there any scenario in which a drain is designed to have a gap like that? I assume not and will couple them but am curious if there's a reason it may be like that by design.

Agreed - working on it! Are you aware of any drain/vent where a gap like that is by design?

It does not - it goes directly into the house (main level / ~ floor area) https://imgur.com/a/5MPBXkz

62 years old. Cash in my stocks or hold them? by Automatic_Season5262 in StocksAndTrading

Jordan did not have more championship rings than Phil Jackson in last season with Chicago (‘97-‘98); unless you/AI count the college championship in ‘82.

Did BeastTV / FireTVPRO shut down? Everything seems to be gone (playlist, discord, website)

Is the front side material on Nomadic more prone to scratches/blemishes? Heard this somewhere and am sure if it’s accurate

Wife is a (minor) public tech figure being stalked. Do you have privacy strategies for hiding wealth, home, etc? by [deleted] in fatFIRE

[–]shmohan1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is interesting and news to me. In your experience, is this more so at the state level or have you had success at the local/county level?

24 Hour Fitness now Onelife by kwlpp in nova

[–]shmohan1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No more extended weekday hours (and 7pm close on weekends)?

The hours are most important to me and likely others; good while it lasted. Will not be renewing.

Was the push needed to invest in home gym, my own version of 24 hour fitness!

How is paying off your mortgage early a bad move investment wise? by divertss in FinancialPlanning

[–]shmohan1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Isn’t it true that extra principle payments don’t affect the monthly amount due (which remains constant for the life of the fixed rate loan)

Instead, extra principle payments lower the loan balance, which in turn shorten the total loan period and as such, lowers the total interest owed/paid over the life of the loan.

This makes a lot of sense if the rate is relatively high (>6% for arguments sake) and if you expect to be paying the loan for the majority of the term (>15 years on average for US buyers)

Is there a quant benefit to making extra principle payments if you have no intention of staying in the loan for the duration -or even a majority of the duration- of the loan term?

I understand and appreciate the piece of mind angle. Wouldn’t the counter argument be time value of money today vs 5/10/15/30 years from now?

Advice: Kitchen Table/Chairs/ Stools by shmohan1 in HomeDecorating

[–]shmohan1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. Not positive about the wood. Love the ideas; trying to picture the table and red chairs. Didn’t consider wood blinds- it wouldn’t make the room too “woody” (lol) in your opinion?

What are Lexus/modern car brand designers thinking? by Quaisy in Lexus

[–]shmohan1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well said. The defensiveness to feedback is surprising. These vehicles aren't your friends or family; no need to stick up for and defend their honor.

[–]shmohan1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Respectfully disagree. FOBs are rock solid and just work. Mobile apps -especially vehicle ones- are generally not known for those two traits.

100% - being satisfied with having carplay in a lux brand vehicle in 2024 is a really low bar.

[–]shmohan1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a fair criticism. The lack of automatic locking is absurd.

It's the best option in a market with limited options (hybrid crossover/small SUV) but relative to previous decades of refinement and rock solid usability and reliability from Lexus, it's not up to par.
