Zach Lipton recently flagged this answer, which has slipped under the radar for over a year now.
I asked chief prosecutor Lipton to provide the evidence. Turns out the CEO of the company which sells the app is clearly the same guy (photo and name) who posted the answer. This is not disclosed in ...
@CMaster I'm not sure, but the beer part is quite irrelevant and should be removed regardless. But the problem is, if OPs motive is the beer part, then there's no reason to think the rest of the answer is accurate either.
I do agree with his 'walking if your luggage allows it' as I did so myself at least once. But bringing any car into any main city to avoid taxis or local transport? I even never used a taxi in a main city when alone, hardly ever with someone else, public transport all the way.
Boyfriend and I picked up a rental car in Barcelona, on our way out, not pleasant for him, driving, and even I as passenger was not happy.
I have walked extensively through Paris and will add many more miles there, I am sure, but I will not advice it for new visitors with luggage, not as main advice.
I've travelled in both mainland China and Taiwan before, but this time in Taiwan I've noticed a lot more Chinese words and characters used for different types or accommodation, or indeed for the same kinds of accommodation.
In China there were a few words for hotel but for the ones at a backpack...
@pnuts: we have work and working-holiday and it's probably not best to have too many specific work tags since most kinds of working overseas cannot be done by a traveller and only by an expat
Car rentals are within walking distance from Keflavic (without luggage that is) while BSI is in Reykjavic, within walking distance (with luggage) from the city center. That is about an hour by coach if I remember right.
There is likely to be a car rental close to BSI, as that is next to the Reykjavic airport if not at its entry.
I think the entire karma system needs to change and recalculate , it's not fair the same answers just produce karma indefinitely -- of course you will have more karma with more answers but as currently it is, it's more of a quadratic growth
I think new users might need to be instucted to not upvote the top answers with huge vote levels, but as the system gives rewards to high levels of votes that is not fair to the users that would not get those rewards.
@chx That's not how it works, not in my experience. Most of the rep comes from recent answer, occasionally from other answers that got bumped to the top by an edit.
And then I get some rept to a few really popular questions, just because some people read them a lot.
There is no steady stream of upvotes to random past questions or if there is it's very low and dwarfed by anything else.
On another site, I have a (not very good) answer to one of the site's top questions and that's the only one still giving rep while I am not active there.
There is obviously a strong correlation between number of days and rep, but it comes from constantly writing new answers, not seating idly and collecting rep on older ones.
Either way, even is that was the case, how's that a problem? Too strong in regard to what standard? Some intuitive notion of fairness? Something else?
Or otherwise, follow to my activities on the other sites, Bicycles is the best, I have been there about as long as here and while I do not spend as much time there as here, I did read all questions there for months on an end.
@MarkMayo, with regards to the comments you moved to a chat, on this answer travel.stackexchange.com/a/79067/27650 they were NOT a discussion, and aside from one or two to the point.
There has been a discussion in that comments area and when I edited the point of view of both users into my answer, the discussion comments were deleted.
I feel that by removing those comments you do not serve the OP
I was going to put a historically interesting but no longer relevant travel advice in a spoiler tag so people don't accidentally follow it, rather than removing it completely
@CMaster Hmm, that would have worked. Finally I decided to remove it completely. If people really want to study history they can always look at previous revisions. Most people don't study historical timetables though…
Are there any other reliable ways to find cheap, hostel like accommodation last minute, without using hostel world or hostel bookers?
I'm currently finding all accommodation booked up on these two sites :-\
Always when I'm going to travel to someplace, I book my hostel with precedence. Actually I look only for two Booking sites:
http://www.hostelworld.com
http://www.youth-hostels.co.uk/
Is there a cheaper site than these two, which has the same service with same quality, with the same number or l...
This is strange, I have voted at least one 'deleted since' answer but I have 31 votes on the counter on my profile page, 32 on the vote counter in the bookmarklet, and I go the warning only ... left, I think I have only 2 left now. Which makes for a lot less than 40.
I am going to check out how many were Q votes as those do not stand out in the list
@Willeke A mod has confirmed that the tag is against the rules, so I'm removing it. I think I've tagged the majority of the rationale questions, so I'm responsible for cleaning it up now :)
You should have waited for someone to get it off without getting the content to the top, in my view. If the site does not have a method yet, they can make one.
Hello everyone, I've just tried to edit the tag info for customs-and-immigration which bizarrely indicated that the US does not use the term "immigration" to refer to passport control. In fact, at cbp.gov/border-security/ports-entry/operations, CBP says: Port of entry operations include immigration inspections of people entering the country including visitors...
I'm trying to find information on Ryanair and Finnair carry on luggage criteria. Is carry on + laptop bag summarized regarding weight or not. Things like that. I have a direct flight with Ryanair and with one transfer on Finnair back. Are criteria for carry on same for both flights?
Ryanair recently changed the luggage rules allowing a second small bag:
One cabin bag weighing up to 10 kg with maximum dimensions of 55cm x 40cm x 20cm, plus 1 small bag up to 35 x 20 x 20 cms may be carried per passenger
I have a 15.6" laptop, which works out to 38cm width, or about 42 cm...
