Love the concept and want to try it out when I'm in town soon, but the owners' responses to reviews are weirdly aggressive. I'd be going by myself and this would be my nice dinner/treat for the trip so would appreciate any info
edit: thank you all, I called them and it turned out the person I talked to left a note in my file but did not change the reservation, but they just changed it and sent me their own internal confirmation! They were super nice about it too. Thank you for the advice.
My flight was cancelled and the only option to rebook was for tomorrow morning. I called the Hyatt I'm staying at to ask them to hold the room for me and they very kindly offered to change my reservation so I wouldn't be charged for tonight, just for tomorrow night. (I was willing to pay for tonight but it would definitely not have been fun to.) However, it's been over three hours and the change hasn't showed up on the website yet (and the reservation keeps disappearing and reappearing). I did call the main reservations line to have them email me a copy of my confirmation and the dates have not changed on there.
Does anyone know if calling the hotel reception again to check my reservation would be ok, or would it do more harm than good? Is there any chance they'd email me with the dates/rates?
The AI chatbot is better than this tbh.
Context for last couple of screenshots: was trying to figure out why my flight was cancelled, if 'I don't know' is the answer then whatever (wild that Frontier doesn't known the reason Frontier's flight was cancelled?), but the copying and pasting with zero reading comprehension is...interesting.
(Yes I tried to call, went even worse than this.)
(and imo the problem isn't overseas agents. I also called the Chase call center that same day and the people I talked to were also overseas agents, they were just better trained and were able to help me instead of regurgitating a script. This is a problem with Frontier being cheap about who they're contracting out to.)
I'm looking for a cheap indoor antenna for watching sports, specifically channel 39 (WSFL) and channel 35 (ION). RabbitEars screenshot above, but also copied and pasted the relevant info here.
My TV is a very old Roku (it does have a coax cable), and the house is a single floor SFH. The TV is in one of the front rooms of the house, against a both an interior and an exterior wall, ~10 ft off the ground.
| 39‑1 (27) | WSFL-TV | IND | MIAMI | FL | 15.7 | 5° | 12.3° | 104.40 Good | 64.35 | L |

| 35‑1 (21) | WPXM-TV | ION | MIAMI | FL | 15.1 | 7.6° | 14.9° | 102.07 Good | 62.61 | L |

Looking for something cheap (<$30) if possible, as I don't intend to live here very long. Would something like this antenna from Best Buy work? https://www.bestbuy.com/product/best-buy-essentials-amplified-ultra-thin-indoor-hdtv-antenna-50-mile-range-black/J2FPJK95K6/sku/6510090
Hi all! I'm visiting Atlanta a couple of weeks from now and looking to do a hike or nature ramble on the Saturday I'm there. Narrowed my options to Kennesaw Mountain, Stone Mountain, Arabia Mountain, and the East Palisades Trail, and trying to decide which one would be the most worth doing.
What I'm looking for:
Any suggestions for other trails that fit my criteria would be welcome, but mostly looking for help with picking between these 4.
I'm planning on getting a Clara Colour (just waiting to see if Kobo has a Labor Day sale before I go all in) for software reasons, but I saw a couple of people say that the Kindle Colorsoft has a better screen due to calibrations Amazon has done (not as much of a screen door effect, better contrast). This isn't going to change my mind on what device to buy, but out of curiosity, does anyone have any opinions on this if you've owned/used both devices? Side by side photos?
Has anyone had their wisdom teeth extracted recently in Colombo, and how much did it cost? I need all four out, three fully bony impactions and one partial impaction, and looking to do it at a private hospital due to time constraints. Would like sedation, not just local numbing.
Has Kobo had Labor Day sales in the past? I really want a Clara Colour and am wondering if they'll have a $20 off promo soon.
Looking for a used Clara Colour and came across this listing...wtf? This is 2.5x the retail price? Who is the intended audience here?
I am looking for a color e-reader and have narrowed down my decisions to these two options. Any advice/experience from people who owned these wrt the specific things I'm looking for would be appreciated.
Things I'm looking for, in order of priority:
I did think about getting an Android e-reader, but I want this to last for a while and the earlier versions of Android do worry me bc once they reach end of support on the OS there's always a risk of Libby not working anymore--I mostly read ebooks with Libby and don't want to deal with borrowing on a computer and transferring them to an e-reader every time I want to read.
(I want a color screen, and I've seen the photos and I saw the Kindle Colorsoft vs Kindle Paperwhite screens in person. The lower contrast isn't fun but the lack of color in illustrations/the black and white book covers would be a lot worse for me, and I've never had an e-reader before so I wouldn't really notice the difference if not side-by-side.)
Things I don't care about: amazing battery life (I'm fine with charging every ~8-10 hours of screen time), 'feel' of the e-reader in my hand, in-device selection of books to purchase (if I buy ebooks I buy them through a local bookstore as an .epub), portability (not planning to carry an e-reader anywhere I can't take a backpack or bag).
I'm trying to buy an e-reader for the first time, and I've settled on getting ideally a Kobo Clara Colour or PocketBook Verse Pro Color, with the Kobo Clara BW or Kindle Paperwhite or Pocketbook Verse as backup options. And they're so expensive to buy use! Unless I'm willing to buy a model from before 2020 everything is selling for at least 70% of its retail price, usually closer to 85-95%, and at that point it's cheaper or the same value or maybe $5-10 more to wait for a sale.
At that point what's the point in buying used? I'd personally rather just wait for a sale and that way I have the warranty and *know* for sure I'm getting a good quality product without any blemishes or other issues, and I'm curious how these bidding wars happen and why people are willing to buy used when it's so expensive.
This is my first e-reader, and I want either a Kindle Paperwhite or a Kobo Clara Color; ideally the latter, I do know the criticisms and I'd still prefer it. I would really like to save some money purchasing (broke grad student), but I don't see anything steeply discounted on eBay; the pre-owned options mostly seem to be 10% ish off, which isn't worth it to me. Does anyone have any tips for finding good deals for e-readers on eBay?
I suspect I might IBS but have been struggling to figure out what's actually going on because I'm not very good at talking about my symptoms--looking for help with communicating with doctors/phrasing things in a way that might be clearer.
I have a lot of bloating and discomfort after eating a meal, especially in my lower abdomen, sometimes accompanied by stabbing pain (although not recently). Had a lot of reflux in the past but the reflux has calmed down, the bloating has gotten worse. I get full very quickly.
My poop stinks to high heaven. When I gotta go I gotta go, like in the next 5 minutes, but it usually doesn't happen more than once a day.
The poop itself is always normal, maybe slightly constipated, initially, but towards the end gets mushy and fuzzy and very explosive. It's very hard to wipe clean (I generally rinse off with a peri bottle). Photo in the comments.
I've tried avoiding dairy and gluten and it hasn't really helped.
Other info: endoscopy came back mostly normal with some irritation from reflux issues, but also lactoferrin and calprotectin came back normal.
I live in Florida (Miami).
My question is twofold: is it a house mouse or a baby rat? And if it's a mouse, is it possible to have
(Also any suggestions on getting my landlord to take this seriously would be appreciated!)
Tl;dr below:
We previously had an infestation of tree rats but they were removed. The way the exterior was sealed was very shoddy, and the wiring around the vents started to come off. I am now hearing similar noises in the roof/crawlspaces to what I heard when we had rats.
Separately, my roommates started seeing rodents around the house about month ago. My landlord sent an exterminator to "inspect" the house but hasn't done anything about it so far.
Yesterday I found rat droppings in multiple areas around the house--inside a kitchen cabinet (under the sink), in a built in closet my bedroom, in the den. Today I found remnants of food the rodent(s) had been eating on a shelf in my closet (I had a couple of snacks I forgot about on this shelf which probably attracted it) so I cleared some of that area out, and I was able to get a few photos of the mouse but I am very freaked out. I have dealt with mouse issues growing up, but never in a bedroom.
I can't find the spec sheet for my current RAM and I want to add another stick that's compatible with it. The information on the ram is as follows: '16GB 1RX8 PC5-5600B-UA0-1312-XT'. I can tell this is DDR5 UDIMM, with 5600MHz clock speed, and is 8-bit and single rank. However, I need the CAS latency and can't figure it out (and don't want to download CPU-Z right now due to malware concerns). Is there a way to read it off this label?
I want a new screen protector for a Pixel 8 but the brand I'd usually get, Spigen, doesn't sell protectors for Pixel 8 anymore, just for 8a. Does anyone have any suggestions? Don't want to fuss with anything fiddly like the dome protectors as I'm quite clumsy.

The first Florida born- and developed player in PWHL history and IIRC women's pro hockey history in general. Went to high school in Rockledge and played with the Florida Alliance girls' AAA team.
(Not sure if this is an allowed topic, mods, since it's definitely Florida related and hockey related but not exactly Florida Panthers news or South Florida hockey news.)
I'm very much an amateur, I just write scripts as I need them, but I'm trying to decipher someone's code and I'm having a hard time because it's not commented. I'm not talking about comments like
%define class
classdef ClassName
but comments saying why things are done a certain way (eg fitting data to a specific user-defined function without ever saying why the function was used, defining specific variables as scalars and using them without ever saying why they chose the number 80). Does anyone have any tips/suggestions for reading code like this?
(Yes this is Matlab, it's a research lab so no comments on the language please.)
One of the best things about this city IMO. They have a huge catalog and will mail you books for free. Lots of locations, many of them public transit accessible, and they're usually clean and quiet and a good space to work. Free water and reasonably priced snacks at the counter. Lots of great free events. Movies/TV shows available to stream digitally. I could go on...
My only complaint is that they have Hoopla but not Kanopy (which has a superior collection IMO) and that's a minor gripe compared to how many resources they offer.
