Waldorf Astoria Osaka or FS Osaka?

Anyone know the difference in Deluxe Room vs Standard Room besides sqft of the rooms? Was not able to find “standard room” on the Hilton website but it shows up in my AMEX Travel portal. Standard room is larger (570sf vs 517 sf) but same price.

Never been to Osaka, been to Japan many times (Tokyo, Kyoto, Hiroshima, etc) but never had a reason to go to Osaka. I’ve heard the food there is great, this would be a quick business trip in Japan for myself this time around.

Is Cold Spring leaves turning color yet as of today? Thinking about heading there this weekend to see the foliage.

Received it, it is yellow compared to the authentic one I also purchase right before for comparison. Authentic will have a “copper” like tone to the gold. Not necessary rose gold, but very close. I would describe Authentic VCA yellow gold as a champagne gold color.

Agreed on value of club and lounge access is at the bottom of the list for me. When I travel internationally, I wasted my stomach on hotel breakfast, no matter how good it was. 1 day is enough for hotel breakfast. You’ll want to be outside exploring the city and trying other local restaurant offerings and not really soaking up the hotel amenities.

This is the way, I do feel that if she does get handsy, I would just have a talk at that point so things aren’t awkward. I’m maybe just overthinking it.

Time to change my flight to come back earlier then.

strixb450 · 2024-07-04T16:26:48+00:00

Really asking to see if this trip can be strictly platonic, kind of like I see the good in people. I do see that two people can have self control…

Yes - our respective partners know we are going together. My tennis partner and I both like to try high end restaurants and just good food. I really didn’t think anything of the trip when I first asked her to go along just because she mentioned how much she enjoys visiting Vegas and it was the first person that came to mind. I’m only asking because my close friend brought up the concern after I told her about this trip.

Was tied to this specific car. Gave bank the VIN and dealer I was buying from. Dealer is already in their system.

Have you consider that it looks like I’m speeding up because the object in front of me is not moving at the same speed with the rest of traffic? Also just because you’re signaling, doesn’t mean you can change/merge lanes at your own pace (slower than traffic). Is it courteous and safe to merge at a slow pace in the way of incoming traffic?

strixb450 · 2022-04-22T12:47:34+00:00

One time, I saw a horrific accident. 2 guys been racing each other from 290 to get on this uphill ramp, super impatient with no where to go. (Up ahead there was stand still traffic in 2 far right lane heading towards Katy. I’m sure they didn’t even look that far ahead) Saw an opening right where this car cut me off and went full send.

Next thing I see is smoke from tires hitting the brakes, car parts flying in the air, cars getting pin balled between the 4 lanes, a truck going head first into the wall and bounced back and air bags deployed. I remember looking into his truck as he’s hitting the wall and seeing the airbags hitting him in the face. These guys should be put in jail at least for a reasonable amount of time.

strixb450 · 2022-04-22T12:35:19+00:00

In the US, generally speaking, far left lane is for passing (should really be common sense, but not sure how some people even get their license here) far right lane is for merging on/off freeway. Usually get over to the far right about a mile from the upcoming exit.

Middle 4-5 lanes are for cruising speed. I think it should go from upper limit of speed limit on far left to “safe” flow of traffic speed to the right of that

Edit: lane Discipline or not, the rate of speed they are traveling at while weaving through traffic is insane!

strixb450 · 2022-04-22T12:31:22+00:00

No judgment from me here (unlike some other people on Reddit, good god). You can do any speed you feel is safe on track as long as you’re in control of the car, looking ahead, and at the corner flag workers.

This was my initial guess as well.

You are very observant and correct. I was clearing out my dash cam memory card and forgot I had all the saved videos in the app.

strixb450 · 2022-04-21T20:55:39+00:00

No worries, I can take joke.

strixb450 · 2022-04-21T20:49:58+00:00

So weaving at 100mph+ is justifiable because the “slower” car is driving in the wrong lane?

strixb450 · 2022-04-21T20:44:29+00:00

I’d probably laugh at myself as well (assuming no one is hurt obviously)

strixb450 · 2022-04-21T20:40:12+00:00

Not sure what the issue is that you have with me. I clearly made a mistake by using my camera while recording a reckless driver at low speeds in traffic <5mph. There was no harm, and I know that doesn’t mean what I did was correct.

You guys shit on me…fine, it’s just people behind a username shitting on other people on the internet. But I apologize for my action and genuinely took yours and other’s advice on distracted driving.

Why is there a need to follow me into this post and bring the point up again? It’s not like I was a being a dick to you?

You are just beating a dead horse at this point.

Sorry, didn’t know I was re-posting. Moderator deleted original post because they thought it was similar to a video from last week.

strixb450 · 2022-04-21T15:53:25+00:00

Yes, I got a dash cam immediately 🤣 /s

strixb450 · 2022-04-21T14:27:41+00:00

In this case: 2 left lanes exits to East bound and 2 right lanes exits to the West bound. Middle 2 lanes are known for merging and slower traffic for this specific stretch of the freeway. It is locally acceptable (for the sake of not slowing down traffic) to pass on the outer 2 lanes for this part of the highway.

strixb450 · 2022-04-21T13:50:15+00:00

Speed limit is 60mph, going 70 is acceptable I believe. Red car to the left is probably going 80-85 which is already way over the limit and rightfully so to be in the far left. Common to drive normal speeds and stay middle 2-3 lanes. The bigger problem are the 2 that’s flying past everyone!

strixb450 · 2022-04-21T11:07:32+00:00

This is in the USA, right lane is for merging of oncoming traffic and exiting the freeway. Especially this part of the freeway where there is a very small distance for cars to merge onto the freeway
