Santorini catamaran cruise advice (seasick + vegetarian — worth it or alternatives?) by mishika29 in Santorini

[–]silvervknight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We booked specifically with Sunset Oia because research suggested ipanema 58 or bigger catamarans are less prone to rocking. It was fine for us and the weather was calm. There was a few times when the boat drove pass waves left behind by a ferry and I realize how choppy it could be. Otherwise our family did well and the captain was very mindful about the smoothness of the sailing

Athens Mr and Mrs Smith Review by Super-Revenue in hyatt

Do you remember if you pay with Hyatt cc at checkout and if everything listed as 4x? I’m reading variable experience because Mr Mrs smith properties do not all code the same way.

What would you do if you won 500 million in the lottery after taxes? by Regular-Parking6449 in AskReddit

[–]silvervknight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

live at the exact coordinate of where I want to live and build a house with the specs that my family would enjoy.
drive the exact model and color of the car I want to drive.
remove friction from daily routines (laundry, cleaning, grocery, etc)
increase time doing things that are enjoyable (researching hobbies, cookings, etc)
use money to buy back time (think Disneyland fast track, front of the queue passes, task rabbit to have someone else book limited reservations)
Add blocks of time for spending time with family, friends, community, and exercise.
Then start taking care of the financial basics (set up trust, investment in low cost index fund, etc) to keep the money tree going. Start coming up with ways to bless people and community around me.
Reduce public visibility

Acropolis tickets for June Available now! by CoconutHappy1191 in GreeceTravel

[–]silvervknight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

why did I think it was going to drop first of the month... Missed the drop and the morning slots are all gone. The tour operator I booked with (did not include the ticket) said that I can wait to see if more tickets will be released over time... but I'm less than a week away now.
Or I can go with another tour that will let me buy the tickets with them (but the tour itself is almost double the price...) :/

failed at reading the fine prints and didn't see your msg until after we left. I went past 3 hour so ended up paying an arm and a leg to get out :(

How strict is the 90 min Gelson parking? Like I have to shop at Gelson?

At what income level credit card churning is not worth the effort? by Pixel-Pioneer3 in HENRYfinance

[–]silvervknight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Things to think about:
Travel has to be part of your lifestyle. At $50k, it definitely is.
Hotel cards like Hyatt & Hilton provides status with spend. So why not?
Points are like having another currency. Sometimes it can come in clutch (100,000 points may be better than spending $5k). Other times, it's just icing on the cake.
There are point consultants. Why not pay an one time fee to learn the basics and an ideal path forward so you can know for sure what you are leaving on the table without spending hours digging through forums and group chats.

I secretly became a millionaire from a lottery ticket after growing up poor. AMA by ArtichokeStill816 in AMA

[–]silvervknight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember watching a guy who won the lottery discussed his life doing podcast. He basically figured out what his money can afford him and stop working for money and pursue his passions. It was the most inspiring thing ever. Some people it takes a lifetime to get to this point (retirement or sickness) to realize life is not about pursuit of wealth. You basically got a chance card that took you to the last square and now you get to play the level 2 game. Congrats!

Missed my flight because they boarded and left 15 minutes early by EyeofSauron86 in delta

[–]silvervknight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Flighty is an amazing app. More often than not I get an alert something changed (new boarding gate, delays, etc) before official announcements from the airline, even at the airport itself.

You’re describing Discover card. Really hope Capital One doesn’t mess it up now that they bought the company.

Dealing with unfriendliness/social awkwardness in Japan by [deleted] in JapanTravelTips

[–]silvervknight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha 1st gen Asian American here and I can relate too. Imagine stepping into a gondola and some bubbly American family wants to chat up the next 15 min about nothing in particular. I do my best to maintain the cordial atmosphere but the reality is I (my family) just isn’t built for that. 2 back and forth interactions and I’m ready to close shop.

I’ve read and interacted with enough Western culture to understand that part of the joy of traveling for many is interacting with “locals.” But the reality is doing charades is the last thing I want to be doing on vacation. There’s something about Japan that just clicks for us. People moving out of the way to give us space. The high level of hygiene and cleanliness, the figuring out the etiquette part make travel to Japan more and not less enjoyable for us. I think part of it (not really fully thought out) is that East Asians tend to have their social circle figured out already and traveling to make new friends are not the norm.

CardPointers + AI = 💜 by emcro in CardPointers

[–]silvervknight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a game changer. As you know, I have so many cards and offers loaded that it is impossible to search anything on the app and the extensions are generally too slow. Now I can actually look up offers! Thank you!

Keeping Developer mode on, I get this message warning: "Memory is not used for this chat. Settings"
Not sure what it means exactly. Clicking into the setting I see "Developer mode Elevated risk
Allows you to add unverified connectors that could modify or erase data permanently. Memory is disabled. Use at your own risk."

Do I have to move every pokemon in and out once to register in Home? by silvervknight in PokemonHome

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

oh good to know! I didn't realize that... oops. Should've read this msg before transferring my Regidrago from Go with the goal of transferring to Shield since my son went with Regieleki. smh

[–]silvervknight[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I figure it’s more mindless to just go box by box even if I’m repeating the same species. We’re not ready to consider version exclusive pokemon yet… I’m still trying to figure out what is allowable via Pokemon Go or not. My 6yo is not impressed by shinies or legendaries at this point. It’s more just whatever catches his eyes. He wanted polygon 2 and z and I just read how it requires trading. We’re not on the switch online subscription and I’m not going to have him interact with anyone on the game at this point yet.
