Yes, it is expired but when he retired he took this profile down completely. He reposted it on RM last week (10 May, it reappeared then in my Buddy list) but he is yet to make it fully active.

At the moment, they want USD for sure. The USD is stronger and more beneficial for them. Question is are they quoting you in CAD or USD for a rate? 

If they travel frequently between Canada and the US this is probably true, but otherwise not so much. If they live their lives in Canada and have no particular use for USD why would they want them? If the CAD is sliding against the USD, of course having USD would be useful but if the rate is constant it benefits them not (unless they quote a dollar figure in CAD and the client pays them that number of USD).

Two comments for situations in comparable rich countries:

• The default should be pay in the currency of the country you're in, and if he tells you his rate and doesn't specify the currency, assume he means local
• But ask him, and if he says USD is fine, ask what his rate is in USD, don't assume that your conversion of his stated rate is acceptable (he may not be able to convert at that rate, or he may want more than the going rate to compensate for real or perceived inconvenience - or his bank's fee - for converting the cash)

I'm entirely unsure what the second post has to do with the thread. Is there some other motive for starting a thread ostensibly about a portrait?

On the topic at hand, it is the first new portrait of the King, but it depicts him in the uniform of the Welsh Guards, and was commissioned when he was Prince of Wales before his accession to the throne. I quite like it, but it is quite a contrast to this portrait (currently part of an exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery in Canberra.

Ridiculous advice 

And the sun rose in the east this morning.

I think it's drawing a rather long bow to attribute all of these incidents involving Boeing aircraft to the manufacturer. A 767 operated by a freight carrier and an old model 737? I'd say operator error, maintenance practices or a less rigorous aviation regulator are more likely the proximate cause.

Last I read, Pita Taufatofua was planning to be back in Paris, representing Tonga.

Airlines have their ups and downs, and today is one of those days for Qantas.

Qantas has agreed to settle a Federal Court action by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission in which the airline had been alleged to have sold seats on thousand flights of it had already decided to cancel. The airline will set up a fund of $AU20m to recompense about 87,000 affected passengers, about $250 for domestic tickets and $450 international. Qantas has also agreed to pay a civil penalty (aka fine) of $100m. The arrangement is subject to formal approval by the Federal Court, but the payments to passengers will proceed regardless of that outcome.

The effect of the ghost flights was far greater in the perception the story evoked than in actuality. For the most part passengers were rebooked without huge inconvenience as they were on relatively busy routes, but on international routes they were often not on the same day. None of that is to minimise the annoyance, anxiety and real inconvenience many suffered.

Settling the case is a further (not farther) part of the massive reputational recovery effort that the new CEO has had to undertake after the controversial administration of her predecessor.

Good to see that you were thanked for that observation!

Has anyone had a one-on-one, in-person encounter with Jakkub in the US in the last two years? He’s showing up in San Francisco right now. His phone number for SMS has too many digits, and his RM messenger has an autogenerated response. 

It's an Estonian phone number (country code, 372 the + sign signifies that it is preceded by whatever the international access code is [011 from the US]). With eight digits after that it's a mobile phone, landline phones and some mobiles have seven digits.

Every country will have it's own phone number formats (Australia has 0x-xxxx-xxxx for landlines and 04xx-xxx-xxx for mobiles, and in the international format they start +61 and then drop the initial 0 from the number).

"Unavailable

Not taking any farther requests"

 

I guess he either got a job or found Mr. Sweet. I'm going to assume that he misspelled 'further' rather than 'father'.

Farther and further are both legitimate words. Further is used for both literal and figurative distance (or in this case to mean additional) whereas farther is only used to mean a literal distance (Sydney is farther from Honolulu than New York is). So, long story short, he didn't make a spelling mistake, he used the wrong word.

Doesn't look very "porn star' quality to me. Maybe home made porn....

Isn't that just the RM characterisation of him, not a claim he is making?

Fun fact, Margaret Thatcher's Conservative Party won the UK general election on this day in 1979, and the party took out an advertisement in the London Evening Standard saying 'Maggie, May the Fourth be with you'. This, I'm reliably informed (okay, 'I have heard') was the first use of the now-iconic expression.

All that is pretty much what was said right after. That it was pretty much unknown how the structure and material was going to react to going down time after time after time. The temperature change too was also a big contributor. It's quite cold obviously down at the bottom of the ocean.

About 4°C (39°F), as water generally becomes more dense as it cools (and therefore sinks), but below 4° it starts to become less dense (think, ice floats).

I can't speak to RentMasseur reviews, but on RentMen many providers don't reply to reviews so in general I wouldn't make too much if there isn't one. Even in cases where most have a reply I wouldn't be too concerned if mine didn't. Obviously if they have heaps of reviews and yours alone didn't get a reply it would give pause for thought.

Tucumcari is lovely this evening. 😋

Looks sort of ... flat!

Although at 1200m elevation, not quite as warm as Palm Springs.

Are you driving Route 66 or I40?

New thread started today merged with pre-existing thread.

Moderator's Note

Gentlemen, the back and forth sniping has gone on for long enough. Remember that the topic of this thread is Sauna Thermas. Kindly resist the urge to launch off on tangents about other things or to comment on how well or poorly some customers behave in their interactions there. In other words, Stay On Topic. Thank you for your cooperation in keeping things civil.

My current regular introduced me to rimming, and does it well. It wasn't on our first meeting, so he had assessed my level of cleanliness beforehand.

He's a nice guy, every bit as good looking as his photos. Setting up a meeting was easy, on RM messenger and switching to WhatsApp. I enjoyed our time together but would have liked it to go further. I put that down to the cues I was sending. I haven't repeated so far, but no regrets at all.

If you're reading a forum or particular topic the search box defaults to restricting your thread to that scope. I've been faked out by this many times, it's very frustrating.

Yes it does default to the topic you're in, but I've fallen for it often enough that I usually remember to look at the text at the end of the search box for the drop down list to change it, if necessary.
