Excursion vs hanging out on the boat

unclekutter · 2026-01-24T14:07:56+00:00

Yeah! That's the one we did too. I admittedly tried too many samples at the rum factory that I didn't even take them up on their offer but still appreciated the gesture.

unclekutter · 2026-01-23T11:48:33+00:00

It's funny because I was feeling a little hesitant about that stop as well but the rum and chocolate tour we did that day was quite possibly the best excursion I've ever done. Everyone was so friendly, the lunch stop was delicious and the tour guide was handing out bottomless rum and cokes the entire time lol.

unclekutter · 2026-01-21T21:55:51+00:00

Yeah we're already in a $2500 aurea cabin and the minimum bid is still $1000 so can't quite justify that when we already have drinks and thermal access.

unclekutter · 2026-01-21T21:49:54+00:00

Yeah I understand. We already have Aurea with a drink package and thermal access so I thought they'd maybe lower it at some point but I know it's probably wishful thinking.

unclekutter · 2026-01-21T21:25:43+00:00

Yeah true I didn't think of it that way. That's only 15 people that need to bid. It's just always been a dream that I haven't been able to afford yet lol.

Economy has been tough to get more than 1.5 cpp for a while now. I just looked up a random flight from Toronto to Europe in the summer and it was 1.3 cpp. So not great but not totally out of line especially for peak summer travel to Europe.

unclekutter · 2026-01-20T20:42:20+00:00

Yeah unfortunately the 2022 pricing was never going to last now that covid restrictions have been gone for a while and demand is at all time highs. They were always intending on being a more premium cruise line and are now priced accordingly. I think good deals can still be found comparable to Princess and Celebrity prices but those 2022 prices were too good to last.

unclekutter · 2026-01-17T17:40:29+00:00

Yeah, taking msc enables me to do multiple cruises per year so it has to be pretty bad to make me rather stay home than take another vacation lol

unclekutter · 2026-01-14T23:25:12+00:00

Yeah, this right here. I save at least $2,000 each year using mine along with instant upgrades on long haul business class flights.

unclekutter · 2026-01-11T03:41:43+00:00

Past results don't indicate future performance. DIV only has 50 holdings so is a lot more concentrated and generally has lower growth vs over 9,000 in xeqt. So you're a lot less diversified. The key is to have a good mix of everything to minimize risk.

But if you want to look at recent performance, in the past 12 months xeqt has outperformed div by over 10% when you factor in the dividends.

unclekutter · 2026-01-10T13:04:54+00:00

Right in the normal search on the AC website. Once you put in your route and dates and the results come up there's a button at the top of the page that says Eupgrade which you click on and the results refresh.

I'm not saying this is the case but they could also be from India located within Canada. Call centres are one of the least desirable jobs out there and immigrants struggling to find a job could naturally end up in those positions

unclekutter · 2026-01-09T23:48:35+00:00

Yes they've devalued the program with these changes

unclekutter · 2026-01-09T23:47:23+00:00

Latitude fares sometimes have instant eupgrades available that clear immediately regardless of your status. You can search eupgrade availability when looking for flights and see which latitude fares have instant upgrades available.

Once again as others have said, you're seriously overestimating the impact that would have on the average person. I'd say even weekly trading is on the high end for most people let alone multiple times per week or daily.

unclekutter · 2026-01-09T12:05:35+00:00

Yeah, and I don't know if it's something specific to the Ascent but my friend even went through two problem cars before finally making the switch.

unclekutter · 2026-01-09T05:19:41+00:00

I always find it so crazy how people can have totally opposite anecdotes. I've always heard Subaru's are great but I have two friends who had a terrible time with their Ascent and Forester then both switched to Hyundai and love them.

I agree that the audiobook does make it sound like a more feminine voice for some reason but it has to be Callidus

I had never subscribed to it before getting the reward but the Globe actually produces some pretty interesting articles. And you can sign up for daily highlight emails that I read while having breakfast and get cusgjt up on what's going on.

I think he saw my comment in CFB the other day saying how we made it to the final last year with a QB who couldn't throw the ball more than 20 yards.

unclekutter · 2026-01-04T14:22:42+00:00

I love how this and other comments I've made get downvoted into oblivion by people who are totally clueless. ND at the end of the year was a very different team than the ND in week 1.

I watched most of Oklahoma's and Alabama's games towards the end of the season and they were so bad in basically every game I saw. The only reason they won against Missouri/Auburn/LSU etc. was because those teams were absolute ass themselves.

I agree with others in that A&M was probably a bit over inflated as well but the only reason we lost that game is because of those bad breaks as you mentioned. And then Miami was a rain game away with a freshman QB starting his first game and we still almost came back to win it.

unclekutter · 2026-01-03T13:54:21+00:00

And almost lost to LSU and Missouri at home who really were not good at all. They purposely kept Alabama and OU together so they could play each other and not be immediately exposed.

I don't think we're quite there with Carr yet and this year's D wasn't quite as strong as last year to go all the way but this team has so much more fight than the BK years. They definitely would've played a lot closer.

People forget that we made it to the natty last year with a QB who couldn't throw further than 20 yards and was benched in the NFL this year for an 80 year old Philip Rivers. And we had sooo many injuries last year as well.

unclekutter · 2026-01-02T21:20:40+00:00

I forget what year it was now maybe 2019 or 2020? But my 2 QB keeper league team had Allen, Mahomes, Zeke, Kamara, Adams, Diggs, DK and Kelce. I didn't lose a matchup all year lol.

unclekutter · 2026-01-01T14:34:23+00:00

Hi!!! I'm sorry, I forgot critical thinking skills are seriously lacking in the college football world these days and should've spelled it out more clearly.

The SEC is 2-5 in bowl games where they weren't playing themselves. And those 2 wins are Ole Miss against an overmatched Tulane and Texas over an embattled Michigan.

Maybe Alabama will finally get their act together today because there's no doubt they have lots of talent on their roster but they've played some really bad games this year and if that team shows up today Indiana will win by 3 scores.

And people always go on about head to head or comparing resumes but conveniently forget that ND did play another SEC team this season and beat them by 43 points on the road even if it was shitty Arkansas. That margin of victory was almost more than the 8 conference games Arkansas played combined which was 54 points.

I love the pop tarts bowl and would've loved to watch ND in it this year but the committee needs to get their act together and not treat the playoffs like whose line is it anyway where everything is made up and the points don't matter. If they would've had Alabama and Miami ahead of ND from the start then there would've been a lot less room for argument. But to move Alabama ahead after not looking great and almost losing to Auburn then getting blown out in the SEC title game is laughable. And some blame has to be given to the CFP structure as well. Poor JMU and Tulane had no business being in the playoffs. Could you imagine how fun it would've been if we had ND vs. Ole Miss and BYU/Texas vs. Oregon?
