I booked an Emirates flight through the AmEx travel portal, selected an aisle seat, and when I went to check in my premium economy seat showed as a middle seat. I received no notification and AmEx still has the old seat selection.

I called AmEx and they said it may have changed because there was a "schedule change" on the aircraft. There is one flight per day from SFO-DUB, any my flight date didn't change. There are no aisle or window seats left on my flight.

This seems like a massive issue with booking through AmEx - I've never had an airline bump me from an aisle to middle seat before, and for that to happen on a 16 hour flight AND in premium cabin is really upsetting. The cabin is

I received permission via email to return two Afromood shirts ($300 worth of merch), mailed them in, received confirmation of delivery, but haven't heard anything back from several emails over the last month or two.

Have any of you had similar experiences? I don't mind not allowing returns for opened merch and just using the b/s/t threads, but now I don't have the items and haven't heard anything about them and cannot exercise that option.

Hi all! Hoping I can get some help on this issue.

When I try to loosen the grind size (clockwise), the dial pointer ring (above the adjustment ring) also rotates, preventing me from adjusting the grind size. If I hold the dial pointer ring while adjusting, I can adjust the grind size but it is very difficult to do so. Do I just need to tighten the crap out of the dial pointer ring? It is small so this is difficult to do.
The grinder came with a flat rubber o-ring around the air-squeezer that I am not sure if it has specific functionality or not. I've tried to use it to provide additional friction to the adjustment ring but it is not better than doing this by hand.

I like a low key vibe where everyone is watching the game with light cheering

Hi guys!

I’m hoping to batch some Manhattans for a friend who drinks them almost exclusively. The part I need some help with is that he uses Makers Mark bourbon and Martini and Rossi Sweet Vermouth. What whiskey and vermouth can I use instead for an elevated, more special version that embraces these flavor profiles? And what bitters would you recommend?

Am I projecting and trying to fix a problem that doesn’t exist? (I really dislike M&R sweet vermouth)

Any help appreciated!

Edit: To clarify, I am hoping to have a volunteer(s) to teach me/us! I do like the crowdsourcing idea, where each person takes a month and picks a spirit. We could announce at the beginning of the month, and then do a cocktail each weekend of that month featuring that spirit!

Hi Everyone!

​

I am hoping to make a batch of homemade coffee liqueur and gift small bottles to friends for the holidays. I am a bit overwhelmed by the number of recipes and options available on a Google search!

​

Do you prefer coffee powder or cold brew, and what brand or roast? Rum or Vodka? How nice of a spirit should I spring for? Do you have a favorite recipe or a source whose instructions I could trust and follow?

​

Any help appreciated!

Hi all!

I’m just starting to get into cocktails and am slowly expanding my home bar.

In the past I have just used inexpensive triple sec whenever orange liqueur is called for in a recipe.

I am looking into getting a new bottle and am a bit overwhelmed by the number of options. Some of the ones I am considering are...

Grand Marnier

Dry Curaçao

Combier

Gran Gala

Cointreau

What is your recommendation for the best bang for the buck and will give me good versatility across multiple types of popular cocktails and spirits?

Edit:

Thank you everyone for the recommendations! Grabbed some Cointreau, will try the PF Dry Curacao next :)

How have y’all faired crossing the border this year? Should we head to Frontier? Want to avoid car tear down delays.

Looking forward to seeing all of you lovely people!

Facebook post says June 15 but their eventbrite link is broken. I also saw somewhere else that it was maybe moving to August at White River? It’s one of my favorite Indy events and I don’t want to miss it!

Hi everyone.

​

I'm looking for guidance on how to eat more herring, mackerel, sardines, anchovies, and other small healthy fish as an American living in the middle of the US. My family had a diet growing up that was rich in fish like salmon and trout but where I currently live they are lower quality and expensive. I love smoked and dried fish but I find canned varieties lacking in the delicious flavors I experienced in countries like Italy (anchovies on pizza), northern Europe (smoked and pan fried herring), and southeastern Asia (smoked and dried fish, almost like fish jerky).

​

Do you have tips on how to buy some of these fish that are not as common in the US, in

I am looking for design engineer positions for machinery OEMs (currently work in Turbomachinery) in the Seattle, WA area. Most of the companies I run across with my searches are civil/construction or software, and when I search for manufacturing it is all stock materials.

​

How should I find companies that are in a specific industry?

​

What keywords can I search?

​

What sites can I use?

Thank you for the help!
