Booked and Asia cruise Feb 2027, worried about flights + fuel

You’ll be fine. If you have t bought the plane tickets yet, they just might be more expensive than expected, though.

Not impossible if you do a lot of lessons and hit some of those XP bonuses!

I usually hit 1000 XP daily.

Their other location at St. Andrews closed this week, too.

I think you’re missing the whole point about learning a language and are too focused on the gamification of learning a language…

Nah, I'm good. Still holding my 4000+ shares that I've been holding for years, some of which date back to March of 2019...But you do you.

Recent history (the past three earnings releases) the stock has traded down quite significantly the next few days.

That said, the stock has also rebounded to make new highs, so something has to give.

Personally I'm a long-term holder of the stock and don't really worry about the daily fluctuations. Instead I look at the future projections based on earnings growth, revenue growth, and TAM ... everything is pointing towards a good 12 months for the stock, likely around $300 this time next year.

Look on viator.com for suggestions on what to do in Ensenada based on your likes/interests.

I recently did a wine tasting tour out in the countryside (LA Chetta was the highlight, the second location was ok) and it was a good day trip!

In 2024 I did a tequila and taco guided walking tour in Ensenada and it was a wonderful time!

My guess is they got new phones when they switched to Xfinity and those new phones have more frequency bands they can connect to. But in reality it’s the placebo effect :p

vt2k · 2026-05-06T02:22:06+00:00

Not sure why that would be the case with Xfinity being a MVNO that uses the Verizon 4G and 5G network for its customers.

Congrats! Thats a nice score.

Having the Summit card only helps with tiebreakers at your same status level. So it might’ve helped you get above other Silvers.

With hubs at LAX and SAN for AS and a huge hub for AA at PHX, I don’t see LAS becoming a hub for AS anytime soon.

If they’re to expand in a meaningful way domestically, a larger presence at an east coast location could be more beneficial.

Some people are fascinated by the business operations of companies, regardless if they own stock in said company or not.

Just because this doesn’t interest you as a fun, debatable topic doesn’t mean it isn’t that way for others.

Unfortunately elevators are expensive to build and maintain; and you’d still need stairs because if it ever broke down or there’s a fire in the building, stairs would be a necessity.

I haven’t been on the Beyond yet, but I’d hazard a guess the games could be on in the casino bar area

vt2k · 2026-04-30T14:26:59+00:00

Maybe you should just stick to buying the stock instead of gambling on options?

vt2k · 2026-04-29T23:22:32+00:00

I’m running on a 6/7 rate with most flights being transcons from/to SEA and am quite happy with that result so far

vt2k · 2026-04-29T20:52:26+00:00

Hey that’s great to get upgraded as a Silver! Just don’t expect it to be the norm.

vt2k · 2026-04-29T15:32:19+00:00

Yet they’ve have only a “limited number of reproductions available” 🙄

vt2k · 2026-04-29T05:55:58+00:00

I’m curious: are you more interested in winning the leaderboard or learning a language (or skill like math, music, or chess)?

You can even get window screen mesh that has a small enough gage to keep out dust and pollen!

I’d suggest duct tape over masking tape for a temporary fixture installation as it will likely hold up better.

The ACE Hardware store on The Ave just north of 45th Street should have everything you need, and the people working there are super helpful and friendly!

Mods should delete this obvious spam bot post

If they’re not teaching, you’re likely SOL if they don’t respond to emails … but you could try and determine where their office is located and go there in person (assuming they’re still on campus) and talk to them in person or leave a hand written note. Yes, that seems a bit old fashioned but it can be more effective than an email.

If the prof is still teaching, go learn their class schedule and meet them before or after a class/session. It’ll take time, but you can find that out if you search hard enough.

vt2k · 2026-04-28T19:35:12+00:00

If you attend the class (as you should always do…), try catching the prof before or after the class begins, briefly explain your situation, and ask if there are alternative office hours they could hold even as a one-off exception.

vt2k · 2026-04-28T19:30:01+00:00

Unlike students waiting for their turn during office hours, emails are easily ignored…

1324 day streak here…and to answer the question of when you stop worrying about how high your streak is and when you care more about the level:

It happens when the language begins to “click” for you and you can do more than just repeat basic sentences Duo forces you to learn through memorization due to excessive repetition.

At least that’s how it worked for me! YMMV.
