You’ll certainly get your money back. There’s little incentive for a credit card company to deny you. It’s not like the airline is going to retaliate against them by refusing Visa cards or something.

1848

Yeah, that’s entirely fair. Their stuff is clearly tailored towards a few specific learning styles.

A little late. Two things:

Didn’t know your Google search results get hijacked by the food delivery places too:

This is pretty damn cool.

Guy seems legitimately to be a nice person.

1854

I had no idea I was supposed to hate Guy. I guess I missed the whole homophobic controversy though. That kind of thing wouldn’t be a minor problem regardless of whom he helps.

1855

Remains to be seen, but there’s a general feeling they’re using this to downsize our very expensive downtown San Francisco office in favor of “free” home office space.

1856

I call that first one too little too late. And the second one doesn’t make all of his other issues go away.

I should really just give up. I can’t stand the guy, that’s all. YMMV.

I stopped in the office for the first time in 2 months today. We were told Friday that it will be a bit before we come back, and some of us may be close to permanently remote. So, I cleaned out my desk and grabbed my docking station.

They moved a few people from employee health into our areas. It was weird seeing my desk set up for someone else, with both their stuff and my stuff sitting there.

There is a line in heat I like: never have anything in your life you can’t walk away from in 30 seconds or less. That is how I approach crap at work. It took me 10 min instead, mainly because I couldn’t find where they put my docking station. I walked out with a mask on, gloves, and a large duffel bag. I felt like I was robbing the place.

Here in NZ offices etc are in theory allowed to be open. My employer asked for volunteers to start going back into the office. No one did so WFH for the next month for everyone.

In my case I WFH as a matter of course so it doesn’t impact me one way or the other

My local newspaper has a weekly syndicated column called The Travel Troubleshooter.

Last 6 weeks every situation involved the failure of a travel entity to reimburse for coronavirus related cancellations.

A lot of companies seem to feel they can keep your money because it’s financially difficult for them to reimburse it.

There’s already been lawsuits filed. Not travel related, but StubHub is refusing to reimburse tickets paid for sporting events by claiming they have not been “canceled” yet, and that they might be rescheduled.

Pretty despicable.

1860

All of the airlines for my cancelled trip to Spain, Portugal, and South Africa (via Dubai) have refunded my money. LATAM was the last one to do it and I just saw the credits in my account today.

1861

Cut my own hair (3 months worth) for first time ever using a Conair Even Cut v1. Worked pretty well.

Not to be confused with the Nic Cage movie.

This appears to be better reviewed AND
40% cheaper:

I have a hard enough time trimming my beard correctly. I think a self-haircut would be right out based on my lacking skillset.

1864

That would be more convincing if they found a model who actually had any hair to remove in the first place.

1865

v4 of the Conair Even Cut cuts closer than the v1 I have:

1866

I have cut my own hair for a few years with a Wahl, similar to

It’s a more traditional and corded design not easy to hold for self-trimming, but if you have low standards for a basic coiffure, it is sufficient and seems bulletproof. The hardest part is around the ears, where the paradox of extremely poor vision means I can either have glasses on and see my trimming work, or have the glasses off to trim unobstructed yet do it blind.
