REI Emails

I am super frustrated. I think I now remember why I wasn't subscribed to getting emails reminding me of sales etc.

The other day I was looking at some specs for something I had bought last year. Afterward I got the sales pitch email saying don't you want to buy this? No I already have it. But I got the same email the next day. And I got the same email again the day after. That's three. For a product I already have.

Of course I went to change my preferences for email but there is nothing that seems to indicate I can opt out of just getting marketing junk after I visit the website! Does anyone else have this issue/complaint?

Re-Supply score

I am still in awe at this re-supply score. I have lucked out many times - my size Merrell's when I needed them, my size xc ski boots (big savings!), other useful items too. But this was the oddest and best bargain. It says a buckle is missing or broken. I have yet to figure out why (probably they just didn't want them?!). Worn them, no issues, perfect condition. $12.83. LOVE Re-Supply!

Rental Cars

SOLVED I know that the rental car garage at SFO is 24/7 and returns can happen any time, but what about picking up a car? With the ongoing delays, we might get in by midnight, but might not.

Suggestions? We are not staying in the city, we need a car for the week in the East Bay (where my family is) and the Sierra.

Thanks if you can provide solid info!

UPDATE in case someone searches my same question:

Thanks to u/attathomeguy for the link, which never came up in more than one attempt at web searching.

There are currently at least 3 companies listed with 24 hour opening times. Screenshot added.

Easy route question for the knowledgeable

I am looking at going from Springfield MA to Richmond VA. The southbound option has no apparent train changes. But the northbound is via New Haven with a change.

I did look at different dates but they were the same. Is it maybe a weekday vs weekend thing? Or something else I am not getting?

I am purely curious!

almost nothing in "home"

Clicking on home usually gets me all my usual subs plus some suggestions. Today I get 4 or 5 posts MAX and the little reddit character flashing and it never loads more. (I am not aiming for more bananas or whatever but if I were it would be impossible - scrolling goes nowhere.) Is anyone else finding almost no suggestions or choices on their 'home' feed?

Promo Notification?

Got a notification from my Hilton app that I haven't seen before (see screenshot attached). I'm a little confused so hoping this sub can explain. Are they actually giving things away for 250 points? Their website doesn't offer any helpful explanation after poking around a bunch - so many people here can help / explain? TIA.

Reviewer noting question

I was looking for something containing the word "abyss" (lots out there!) and stumbled on this one: https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC9FBMQ_on-the-edge-of-the-abyss

It's not in my area but I noticed it was disabled. Then I noticed it had only two DNFs, from low-ish find counts. Now, I am NOT saying it's there - I have no idea - but I thought the protocol with reviewers was to put a reviewer note FIRST for owner attention and give it thirty days before disabling. That's what ours do and it seems fair. I also get that it is possibly an inactive CO but it struck me as a bit unfair to go straight into disabling something that hasn't got more than 2 DNFs and wasn't flagged by a finder. We have COs here that often need that 30 day buffer if they have got personal issues or are away etc.

In our world this immediate disabling & likely archiving would (usually does) lead to geo-trash. When we can we will find archived caches that appear to still be there and we CITO out the find, after claiming of course. 😄 Thoughts welcome, but especially from the reviewers that are regulars in this sub. Thx.

Chinese food suggestions

Ok I'm looking for not just any decent Chinese food, but specifically dim sum.

I grew up in a place that had one of the largest Chinatowns outside mainland China. I'm picky. Does anyone know of a place within even an hour's drive?? I don't need Boston or NY suggestions, got those covered. So far my only option is stuff from Trader Joe's, which is just ok.

Thanks if you can help. 👍
