A lot of reviews but no takers here. Does this raise a red flag in anyone’s opinion or is it more a function of where he lives?
I believe it a function of his location.

Should the powers start integrating all threads about a subject or person? It's becoming annoying so many threads on the same subjects: uber, deposits, certain providers, etc.
We frequently do, either when reported or when we notice.

You mean CNN? Correct?
Bozo is definitely not a fan of CNN; however, the one correspondent that was very easy on the eye was Will Ripley, their gay and gorgeous Hong Kong Bureau Chief.

Skyline Chili may be America's quirkiest culinary idiom.
The signature dish of Cincinnati, Ohio — it's also the name of the casual-dining chain that made it famous — is nothing more than spaghetti topped with chili and piled high with shredded cheddar cheese.
"It's weird to a lot of people," Sherry Tomlinson, whose grandfather and father, Nick and Bill Lambrinides, were two of the co-founders of Skyline Chili, told Fox News Digital in an interview.
"People either love it or it's just not their thing," she said. "But people who love it become addicted to it."
Skyline Chili boasts an appealing retro diner-counter vibe, the charms of the Skyline brand compounded by its own lingo.
Skyline's famous spaghetti with "secret-recipe" chili and cheese is simply called 3 Way.
Add diced onion or beans, and it's called 4 Way; add both, and it's known as 5 Way.
Skyline Chili also offers Coneys. That name is derived from Coney Island, New York, home of the annual 4th of July Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest.
The short, stubby hot dogs are "specially made" for Skyline Chili, according to its menus. Coneys are served on a bun with mustard, the house chili and available with cheese or without.
A small 3 Way plus a cheese Coney and soda, eaten in-house with friendly diner counter service, cost just $13.09 with tax during a recent visit to the Ludlow Avenue Skyline Chili in Cincinnati's Clifton neighborhood.
It's a bona fine bargain in terms of cost per calorie.
The price point is certainly rare in this day and age when a fast-food meal for one person to go can come in at $24.
Restaurant industry experts marvel at Skyline Chili's operational efficiency.
Everything on the menu is ready before guests walk in the door and sits in plain view behind the counter as they order. The spaghetti is cooked, the chili stewed, the hot dogs griddled, the cheese shredded.
It takes just seconds to fill orders for an entire table.
Nick Lambrinides, an immigrant from Greece, founded Skyline in 1949 with his four sons.
Tomlinson, the granddaughter, said she has "no idea where he got the idea" for Skyline Chili, though she did note he worked as a cook on the railroads.
Its recipe remains a closely guarded secret.
"All I can say is that my grandpa loved garlic. It was a flavor that was very interesting to him," said Tomlinson.
The main ingredient in Skyline Chili, its diehards argue, is its indefinable deliciousness.
"Skyline Chili is a perfect food and I will tolerate no slander of it," Cincinnati-area native Mat Kinsman wrote in a breathless tribute last year in Food & Wine magazine..
He cited clove, nutmeg, cinnamon and "God knows what else" as some of its ingredients.
Kinsman also said, "To those of us who grew up in the Greater Cincinnati area, this stuff is mother's milk … It's a Cincinnati thing, look it up — and it's the pride of the Queen City."
THAT LOOKS SO GROSS

You can get the same at Chili John’s in Burbank, CA. Quite famous, oftentimes a familiar Hollywood face at the counter with you. The chili on spaghetti is fantastic, I also like it 50/50 with beans.

I'm going to message you privately, to make sure you get it, but in case anyone else here reads and likes this book, I highly recommend the very good TV show that haunted my dreams each night I watched it, Halt and Catch Fire*, not just because it's also about computers and takes place around the same time as the book does, but the characters share the same frustrating flaw of being too smart to stay connected for very long. (But that's not what the show is about, read the NYTimes critical appraisal AFTER you finish the show, to find out what it was really about.) Enjoy! p.s. Each season is better than the last.
*It comes with AMC+, otherwise you can buy it on Halt and Catch Fire on Amazon Prime
I *loved* “Halt and Catch Fire”, and it paralleled a time of my “computer life’ that I could really relate to. And Lee Pace for the eye candy factor thank you 😉

Interesting, I met and wrote a RM review of him on 9/24/23 (as SouthBayGent). At that point there was no female in his ad. We had a great meeting, he bottomed admirably for me, and yes that appendage is the real deal. His latest ad has a very different look and feel from my September hire.

I just noticed he’s got a new seeking.com profile, maybe changing up his options?

Moderator warning….a couple of you have gotten into a back/forth that does NOT further the topic. Let’s get back to European city vs. Bangkok as the OP has posted. Let’s get back on topic NOW and avoid personal warnings and locking the thread.
Thank you!

Moderator warning….let’s get back to discussing whether or not booking an Uber for a provider is a viable practice. Enough about subways.

It would help to say where you're located when you describe a situation.
This thread isn't specifically about NYC. There aren't any cities in the US that have subways to take you everywhere like NYC does. Chicago is a close second.
Many a provider or seeking.com friend have gotten Ubers here in SoCal from me.

A few times now I have texted to set up an outcall and given my location at a central downtown hotel. The provider gives me their outcall rate and I say okay. Then they come back and want me to also arrange an Uber to and from. If you know where you are coming, then why not just give me your rate to reflect that and arrange your own? Don’t make it more complicated than it needs to be.
I’ve had more than one provider say they look at the Uber as a form of “deposit”, i.e. if you arrange and setup the Uber it’s makes the client appear more serious/reliable. I’ve done that on occasion.
There is no reason why it should come up late in the conversation though.

I looked to see if “One Day” on Netflix had been mentioned, didn’t see it here yet. Just finished this 14 episode (< half hour episodes for the most part) series. I really enjoyed it, albeit totally distracted by Leo Woodall. Even as the makeup artists aged him for the 20 years the show spans….he still looked good! 🤣
South Asia Itinerary suggestions?
in Africa/Asia/Australia

First off, note this is not a “sex tour”. I’m traveling with a friend I’ve met on seeking.
I’m looking to visit Thailand, Cambodia, and Viet Nam this fall, 14 days on the ground.
I’m a total foodie so looking forward to Thailand.
Any suggestions on a route/plan to hit Bangkok, Phuket, Ho Chi Min City, Ha Long Bay, Siem Reap, Phnom Penh?
I don’t mind moving around a bit but like a “base” every couple days of 3 nights or so.
Probably this is too broad of a request, but I’m curious what others here might suggest.
