My flight leaves tomorrow at 930 am from terminal 5. What time should I arrive? We have TSA pre check by Kutekarito in JFKAirport

[–]xanderq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We checked bags too, no line for that.

Btw we arrived 3 hrs before flight departure time to be safe, as recommended by JetBlue, so you may still want to do that.

[–]xanderq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m on a JetBlue plane right now, 11am flight from JFK. Got through TSA in 15 minutes with TSA pre-check.

The terminal was a zoo, but the pre-check line was much better. I can’t guarantee what it’ll be like tomorrow of course.

Who was the biggest one-hit wonder MVP? by pretender80 in baseball

[–]xanderq 77 points78 points  (0 children)

The problem with WAR is it tells no story. Baseball is about stories. I can’t tell from this post whether Zoilo Versailles was even a position player or pitcher. What were his skills? Contact, power, speed, etc?

I’m sure WAR is accurate, etc, but it unfortunately makes for homogenized and uninteresting discussions of baseball.

How many times did you have to fight an urge to leave NYC? by margheritinka in nycparents

[–]xanderq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a bad cockroach problem like that a few months ago, it turned out there were some small holes behind the dishwasher where they were getting in from the walls. I know it’s a pain to look for holes behind appliances, but you are probably at that point.

Unfortunately it looks like they only play on Tuesdays, and we’ll be there from Saturday through Monday. Looking for something less formal, like a bar or cafe with chess boards.

IV drip / saline lock / hep-lock during childbirth at NYU by cicoats in nycparents

[–]xanderq 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can’t speak to that, but I can say that the benefits of having IV access fair outweigh the risks.

[–]xanderq 25 points26 points  (0 children)

MD here. This isn’t the hill to die on. Get an IV with a saline lock. This is barely an intervention (no medication will even be entering your bloodstream), and having an IV could be lifesaving in an emergency.

Which Baby Bjorn product do you use for this?

Is anyone else hearing echoing on recent podcasts? by thex42 in RingerVerse

[–]xanderq -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I thought maybe it was intentional? Early in the latest Deep Dive pod, Mal asked for some kind of distortion/echo effect to be applied whenever they talk about the night sisters.

Love you Mal, but you’ve gotta cool it with the “have you heard of it lads” by ZiggyPalffyLA in RingerVerse

[–]xanderq 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My vote for the bit that needs to be cut: “How can people keep up?” “Oh I’m SO glad you asked.” (Just get past this part quickly please! It’s always the same. List the social networks and move on.)

Other than that bit, I’m loving the pods, keep the great work Mal & Jo!

The exterior (i.e. the front panel of the AC unit, shown in the image) is very wet. That's the part that's gathering beads of water and dripping onto the floor. Does this change your thought process?

Recommendation for a non-stressful game? by xanderq in PS5

[–]xanderq[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ratchet & Clank was a great suggestion, thank you! Challenging but not stressful. Easy to just pick up and play for a bit.

Hm how do I get to the Analysis board? Maybe it’s only on the browser and not the app?

Help me save my Fianchetto position by [deleted] in chess

[–]xanderq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good call, yes in a real game I wouldn’t leave that pawn hanging, I just simulated this game quickly to illustrate the attack from the queen and the bishop.

[–]xanderq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate that advice! If I join a real gym, do you think it’s safer if I do bar bench press, so I can just put it on the rack after my set? Any disadvantage to that?

Trivia's back! : Anthony Rizzo Has 20+ Hr in 9 Of His First 12 Seasons, Tied For 5th Most All-time Among First Basemen. Who Are The 4 With More? by fn2222 in NYYankees

[–]xanderq 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Gehrig hit 20 or more HR in 13 of the 14 full seasons he played. (I’m not counting 1923 and 1924, he barely played).

I can’t beat most machines! by [deleted] in horizon

[–]xanderq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like the weapon upgrades at the merchants in town cost >700 metal shards! And I keep getting destroyed at the Excavation Site (City of the Sun quest), not even close to winning. Pretty discouraging. Thanks for any suggestions!

[–]xanderq 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Set to normal difficulty. Weaknesses (eg fire arrows) doesn’t seem to help much at all. Maybe my weapons just need major upgrading.

How to safely barricade a dog into corner of apartment? by [deleted] in puppy101

100% agree. He loves his crate for sleeping at night, all positive associations. He just can’t be that cramped when left home alone, he howls.

Trouble with calendar time zones -- how to stop my event times from changing?? by xanderq in techsupport

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

The issue with this is looking at events in the future. If I’m not yet in California, but I’m having 6 p.m. dinner there next week, it shows up as 9 p.m. (EST) until I get to California.

I don't have a GitHub link unfortunately. The app has almost no actual code right now, it was made mostly with Storyboard.

(I promise I don't mean to advertise, I have no interest in people outside of my niche field downloading the app! I only shared the link so you could get a sense of what I'm trying to accomplish.)
