  1. I caught the Omicron finally as well. Only symptoms were dry cough, slight congestion, and maybe some fatigue? I have two young kids though so I’m always tired. No fever (although I took Advil Cold and sinus to manage cough) and symptoms lasted 5 days. I had the free at home test kits so I took one and it was positive. The rest of the family all caught it from me. Wife had similar symptoms which lasted a week (she tested positive). The kids kicked the deal in 2 or 3 days. We didn’t test them though.
  2. Don’t worry. I leave Houston for at least a month between July and August for Wyoming and set the house to 82 the entire time. Doing my part.
  3. This upstairs at 72 for the kids and downstairs 74 until it’s time to sleep and then it’s 70. My most expensive bill last year was ~$200 so the house seems efficient. Also after trying Griddy the summer before the freezeapoclypse and spending $400 in two days I locked in on a 4 year plan that makes me look a genius now.
  4. Damn I feel for the folks who need formula. Cannot imagine the stress. Our family was blessed and my wife was able to breastfeed both our boys until around 15 months so I never dealt with formula. We have a third on the way and hopefully we are lucky again and hopefully this mess is fixed well before our due date.
  5. I found this article to be a fascinating read about Ada and the 777. http://archive.adaic.com/projects/atwork/boeing.html
  6. I reserve judgement until I know if there was an ADU on the property/encampment.
  7. Lucerne is not too shabby either. Although the weather can change quick. And the Matterhorn is a beautiful beast.
  8. I just noticed the email about this yesterday. Pretty nice add. Between the Uber credits, streaming credits, random discounts to various resellers, and 5x pts on travel which I redeemed for Qatar QSuite - the card can pay for itself.
  9. This. The right watches are an asset that appreciates. Because Covid did stupid stuff with luxury items watches have been extra lucrative if you know what to look for or trade into. That watch is too expensive for me though.
  10. I saw the solar eclipse a few years ago in Jackson Hole and it was awesome. Definitely looking forward to doing this again. I just hope the lights come back on.
  11. Xfinity Mobile throttles your data after 20 GB. And the throttled speed is frikin slow. I used them for all of two weeks and switched to T Mobile which has been good for the most part.
  12. United has been great for the past year or so. I’ve had 75 or so flight segments on United in that time and didn’t experience any major fuckery outside of a few weather related delays. Also the new product on the Max 8 is great and the Polaris seat is very good. They need to up their catering game though. Covid isn’t an excuse anymore. There was a medical emergency on my flight yesterday and they let the passengers decide if we would divert or not to save the persons life. It had to be unanimous and I yelled, “ VETO!” I appreciate that because I needed to be on time. That’s customer service.
  13. Chase Sapphire Reserve and Amex Plat. My flight was “delayed” 14 hours and CSR reimbursed me $500 per ticket for hotel room and I think $100 for incidentals.
  14. In the documentary Navalny recounts how an FSB guys email is "hacked". His password was Moscow1. The guy changes his password to Moscow2 and is "hacked" again. He repeats until to Moscow4. Video: https://edition.cnn.com/videos/world/2022/04/19/navalny-moscow-4-origseriesfilms-3.cnn
  15. I watched the Navalny documentary last night on CNN. I think there are a lot more Moscow4s than anyone realized.
  16. Okay economy airfare prices are getting stupid (all from IAH). $1k to fly to ECP in May. $1.2k to go to Boston in June. And the most reasonable route is to JAC for $600 in July.
  17. Truly Aggy. Win big when you were never “winning” to begin with.
  18. Waiting for the dozen or so substacks I subscribe to for analysis on this.
  19. The opening salvo must have been against Surly yesterday with all the double and triple posts.
  20. Every double post provides support to Russia. Knock it off!
  21. Lucerne. I definitely recommend going to Lucerne and eating at Geissmatt. Also the sightseeing train (Glacier Express) between Zermatt and St. Moritz is never a bad idea.
