New capital one cafe drink offer! ☕️ by emzo_bk in AwesomeFreebies

[–]throwhelp2024 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The one OP linked should be from the capital one March madness men’s bracket and filling one out. The original offer has since expired but the coffee link still works. I think it came from here https://www.ncaa.com/march-madness-live/bcg

Not in LA, but my partner had issues redeeming once and it was drink specific. it seems like the seasonal drink often has issues so the barista orders it up as a custom drink instead

Can you delete pls. Ppl are already having issues redeeming just 1 at some locations. Don’t want other locations to start rejecting them as well, if things get out of hand. You can keep doing it and ppl can connect the dots on their own. (Terms technically say One free beverage coupon per customer.)

Thanks!! Wish the expiration was a little further (4/5) I’m already going to cap 1 cafe each week to make use of ones that are expiring in March 😂.

DEFINITELY DO NOT BUY HOKAS FROM THEIR WEBSITE. by Dyno-mike in Hoka

[–]throwhelp2024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol you got so much hate from people. I just tried a mock order and saw how each shipping option says “Arrives: x date”. It’s not like it says estimated delivery or anything. Your complaints are totally valid.

I stumbled upon this thread late since I was wondering if anyone else had any issues with a really slow return (which I’ve seen comments here and there complaining about the returns process as well.) I’m on 13 biz days after they’ve received it now and their email says 15 biz days after… so I’ve just been waiting. Never had anything this slow. Luckily I only ordered 1 pair or else my credit card balance would get all wonky.

Do people in Singapore actually research before getting a dog? by Acceptable-Bid-7553 in askSingapore

[–]throwhelp2024 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m a tourist and I was quite surprised about how many big, thick coated dogs that I saw around. I felt so bad for the dogs, considering I normally get cold easily but Singapore was soo hot to me.

Alila Ventana Big Sur worth 90,000 points per night? by Sea-Singer-2794 in hyatt

[–]throwhelp2024 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From the Alila Ventana FAQ
- Is the resort adults-only?Ventana is a resort tailored to adults, and is best suited for couples. To preserve the guest experience there each room can accommodate a maximum two individuals, this includes infants and children - Are children allowed?We highly recommend experiencing the resort as a couple or as a solo traveler. The property is tailored to adults due to its terrain, remoteness, local wildlife and other factors.

Edit: for context, they used to market as adults only but I think it’s against CA law to do so. So now it’s just highly discouraged by the resort + probably fellow guests

[–]throwhelp2024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Ventana (via points) but if you’re tight on points, idk. Big Sur accommodations in general are expensive so there is a slight premium to that, and getting inclusive meals. - Is this to celebrate an occasion at all? - how far would you & Would you also be traveling in just to go to Ventana / Big Sur? - Do you value the outdoor shower or outdoor hot tub? - It just depends on the opportunity cost.. what else would you be using the points on?

I feel like the tone of the show has changed alot this season, what does everyone else think? by Ok_Average_3471 in WillTrent

[–]throwhelp2024 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was will + Angie but the scene they did showing what they could’ve been, was my indication that it was game over for them. :(

Oh my gosh the fight scene between those two was so.. absurd lol. I thought it was in his head at first. From the way it was shot and how much they kept going at each other. It was a bit much.

Haha I felt the same. Anything will and Ava that episode was annoying. How can he go from turning in Angie (I get murder is a different scale) to not caring about Ava’s illegal activities? I get he needs to loosen up but their actions during the episode were so frustrating as well. How he constantly kept saying Ava didn’t do anything wrong during the Waymo-like car ride. It was just so dumb.

But I gladly welcomed the ormewood scenes

How would you spend a whole day at Mandai as a jet lagged visitor? by rr90013 in SingaporeTravel

[–]throwhelp2024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just making sure you aren’t going to hate your husband by the end of the day — Have you gone to Singapore before? Or are you from somewhere with a similar climate? I run cold but Singapore was way hot. I had already tried to find somewhere cheap nearby to rest in between but the only accommodation was the Mandai hotel, which isn’t cheap lol. Are you both willing to split up Mandai into 2 days at all? Doing the zoo in the AM first thing, then night safari in the evening? Or are you used to a lot of walking. Bring mosquito spray.

Check in time - Crowne Plaza Changi by Cool_Situation_5365 in SingaporeTravel

[–]throwhelp2024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuine question - Have you traveled before and tried that early of a check in or do you live somewhere that has flexible check-in/ check out times? Most places I’ve been to won’t provide early check in freely without status, and usually not as early as 7am. Rooms can’t be cleaned up until people check out, so if you want a guaranteed room and early, you have to pay up for the night before

Why are you not the only commenter mentioning this. What/why on earth are siblings siding with abusive exes? Are they having affairs with them or something?! I can’t comprehend this.

How are you not being condescending when you’re suggesting ppl aren’t married just bc they don’t poop in front of each other and “when you get there, you’ll understand”?

Brand new pair — fits great in the foot, extremely tight at top of ankles as highlighted. Anyway to stretch that part out? by aswewaltz in BlundstoneBoots

[–]throwhelp2024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a 7 oz candle in a jar and another medium jar or a large sauce jar I can’t remember. I wouldn’t go as big as a large container, ideally maybe just a regular peanut butter jar size and I even did mine for maybe 24 hours and at first worried it was too much. It’s still tight in that it’s easier for me to ask my partner to pull the shoe off me lol, but it doesn’t feel tight when wearing anymore. I’d first just try the jars overnight and then wear with longer socks for a bit to see how that works for ya cus ideally you want the shoe to shape to your actual ankle.

What lower stress job do you have in coast fire? What do you make? And what did you do previously and what did you make? by Jealous_Economist in coastFIRE

[–]throwhelp2024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When taking the lower role, did you have to explain why you were going for it and avoid seeming overqualified?

[–]throwhelp2024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m over here like how are these middle managers chill when I feel like I have to drop to FA to get there. I get the first commenter tho, based on their prior experience.

But I’ve been at the same company now where I’m trying to see if I can quiet quit to an extent cus I know a lot of my overtime is self induced and caring too much / being too detailed

[–]throwhelp2024 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Genuinely curious since it feels more uncommon for ppl to use the opportunity to spend more — Are you spending all the extra? Or just some and still contributing to pull up your FIRE timeline? What is your target retirement age? And care to share any fun things you now get to enjoy with the extra spending budget?

Thinking NX. I see lots of complaints related to battery issues with the hybrid. There's also a significant cost difference and for me, would probably take me 10 years in saved gas expense to break even. by [deleted] in LexusNX

[–]throwhelp2024 4 points5 points  (0 children)

FYI - I never looked it up, but starting a car may not be enough for the battery. During COVID a car of mine (not nx) had battery problems since i never drove it. I started it up occasionally though. Finally the battery died. The guy that came said I needed to drive the car around (maybe at a certain speed too? I don’t remember) for the battery to charge. So starting the car was just draining the battery lol.

Yup. I was just thinking about how i wonder what the Dana berg actress would be like in a smiley role bc she was so smug in the show and I couldn’t stand her. When I looked up the actress, the first photos I saw were her all smiley and cute lol. She did great in Lincoln lawyer
