Getting to an event is always easier than leaving for sure. I've never taken a rideshare to NRG, but most stadiums these days limit where you can call rides and it can be a huge pain to get a car after.

If you want "an upper end" hotel they should either stay downtown or med center and take the train. Of course with the parking pass they could drive, but 99.9% chance that driving, parking, walking will take way longer seat to hotel both ways than the train.

It's ok, you can't argue with this level of make believe for someone who believes there was more team offense and passing back in the day.

Its so easy, I never do it more than 3 days in advance and only on trips I 100% know I will take. I love not needing a ticket and just scanning the QR code from my phone wallet.

That said any trip longer than 2 days I rideshare now.

That was an incredible showing by Minnesota. I've always thought Gobert's defense was kind of overrated, but that dude was on a mission tonight against Jokic. Great game after the refs finally decided to frick off down the stretch.

Putting aside how unlikable Gobert is...when he is dialed in, not getting stupid fouls, and not letting players get in his head he is easily the best big man defender and paint patroller since Ben Wallace and probably prime Mutombo.

Wemby is deserving of DPOY and is his own thing, but Gobert is still right there in anchoring a defense.

duplicate, sorry!

I've been doing 5-3-1 based programming for almost 15 years now, with multiple resets. There are weeks at the end of a 5-3-1 cycle where for the last 1 AMRAP I can only knock out 1 single non-spotted rep. Its the last set towards the middle/end of a workout, so not a true fresh max, but probably as close as I will get to trying a max lift.

Its also time for a deload/lower working max reset when I get to that point.

In New Orleans and use Cox for internet only, ATT fiber not available. Paying $150/month for 1G with Cox with a data limit which if we exceed that can be $200/month +, just for internet. I'm going to try out Tmobile for unlimited $50/month. We're fine with 200-300 mbps, we do very little gaming, primarily streaming and work. Also saving $1,000+ year is awesome.

But one challenge, looks like Tmobile gateway (5G Gateway G5AR/G5SE) doesn't allow me to disable the wifi or use bridge mode to connect to my nighthawk mesh router which I want to keep using. And I don't want to put the nighthawk in access point mode because I use guest networks and use other features.

Question for Board...I know if I can't turn the wifi off on the gateway and connect my nighthawk mesh I will create a "Double NAT" issue. However for regular residential use Double NAT really a problem, especially if there will never be a single device connected to the tmobile wifi network?

For saving $1000/year I'm fine with lower speeds and getting away from Cox, but I can't deal with reliability or connection issues. Thanks.

I've had flights like this where I didn't check, but I remember other people saying they just brought a small overnight bag since they wouldn't be able to access their checked bags. But I would confirm with the airline.

Done this back in day when flying from west coast going east, wanted to leave late afternoon/early evening but couldn't find a direct flight and didn't want to take a red eye connection. Would connect into Dallas or Houston and arrive at 11 pm. Cab/shuttle to airport hotel, sleep from 12-6, cab/shuttle back to airport, 7:30 am flight back to NO or BR, straight to work. I don't sleep well on planes and felt much better the next day doing it this way.

I get doing this for a morning flight to Central America where you can't arrive early enough on a connecting flight. Does seem like a lot to do coming back (could just stay an extra night and do both flights the next day?) unless you have schedule constraints.

Yes, probably.

I would check the language to make sure they don't require you to check in at the counter since its an international flight. Also I've seen gate agents get very pissed at people asking for a new boarding pass without having a valid reason (seat upgrade, standby list, flight change, etc.). I think its mostly people who lost a paper pass in the airport which won't be your situation. Good luck.

Only been to United Club once at MSY, it was fine, for a medium size airport lounge, but not as nice as the MSY Delta lounge.

The MSY Club is actually slightly nicer that the average "The Club" brand and the more generic priority pass lounges I've visited in most airports. It does have a lot of chair seating and less tables, when its full can hard to find a spot eat/drink and have your laptop out if you want to work.

Also copying this post I shared previously in one of the TSA threads, during the TSA stuff its been harder to get in.

I'm a regular MSY Club visitor. Warning you, the shutdown has affected how busy the club is and added substantial wait times to get in.

Generally, there was never a waitlist to get in before 9 am any day of the week. Often there would be a 10-15 minute waitlist on weekdays between 10am and 3pm, and hit or miss if there was a wait after 3 or 4. Until last week longest I waited to get into the club was maybe 20 minutes with 2 people, and 15 minutes when solo.

Past 2 weeks, hearing its been slammed with a waitlist by 7/7:30 am because everyone is getting there 2 or 3 hours before their flights. Middle of last week it was an estimated 100-120 min wait for 2 at 3:30 pm. Ended up 80 minutes before I received text but already on plane.

You can pre-book a spot 3-5 days out for $9 on the PP app. Might be worth doing that if you know you are traveling and want a guaranteed seat. Just letting you know.
