White Pebble Suites in the small fishing village of Pollonia is fabulous! Walk to a dozen amazing restaurants and local shops. Small property but luxe and great service

Yes they will let you in at 5 with a 4pm ticket. Just did this a couple weeks ago and was a non-issue

Recently rented from InParos Rent a Car and had a great experience. They will drop off and pick up the car at any location on the island. I think it was €125 for 3 days. Small local company with great reviews.

Have done all three and Milos was the best. You see parts of the island completely inaccessible any other way and the scenery is stunning. Be sure to book a full day tour if you have the time that also takes you to nearby Poliegos island for a swim in Blue Bay. The color of the water there is unlike anything I’ve ever seen!

Meta “Verified” will not help you. If you browse this subreddit you will quickly realize that almost nothing works. Thousands have lost their accounts in the same manner. Meta doesn’t care.

Why doesn’t Facebook offer paid support for personal accounts?

It seems like most issues with hacked/disabled/suspended accounts could be easily resolved by a human case manager when the AI bots fail.

I think most people understand that you are the PRODUCT and NOT the “customer” if you don’t already pay Meta hundreds/thousands of dollars in monthly add spend. So it makes perfect sense why FB doesn’t offer free human support given the large scope of the hacking problem and the cost of employing competent agents.

But there are countless number of accounts being wrongfully disabled that have active engagement with thousands of users. Yet Meta routinely discards users who would be valuable “Products” that both generate content and consume advertising - and naturally would produce revenue and increase profitability.

These accounts are often used for business and/or professional networking but have no need for purchased advertising. Yet the accounts are extremely valuable for their owners and many people would gladly pay for support services to keep their accounts in good standing and to optimize the experience.

So why doesn’t Facebook offer paid support for accounts that don’t buy advertising? Many here would pay thousands of dollars to resolve issues related to hacking or to restore falsely disabled accounts if a legitimate avenue were available. Facebook could charge hundreds of dollars annually for access to such support. It could easily be a profit center for the company. For such a large problem with an easy solution, the lack of foresight is just astonishing to me.

Jensen’s is a small high-end local market chain with great quality produce (but not as wide of a selection as Bristol)

We did this retreat a couple months ago and it was a fantastic experience! The staff are outstanding, the programming is fun, and the quality of everything is high. Met some great people in the group that we still are in touch with after the retreat. Your assessment is on point! Highly recommend for a weekend “reset”

When you’re on Milos, take a boat charter that stops at Blue Bay on nearby Poliegos island. It’s named that for a very good reason and is only accessible by boat. Bluest waters I have ever seen!!

If this were possible at top-level tech companies or VC firms, it would be like getting an MBA through a fire hose. This kind of model would have the potential to result in a much better ROI than most masters programs. This is apparently a very unpopular opinion here but intriguing nonetheless. Getting a paying job at some of these places is virtually impossible unless you’ve been on the Ivy track and have deep connections. It’s a way to level the playing field somewhat

Go to Milos and chill. Stay in Pollonia (small fishing village) where you can walk everywhere. Rent a car for a day €35 to check out Sarakiniko beach, Plaka, and maybe take a cruise to see all the cool beaches around the island. Best way to spend 2 nights after Santorini

Ryan Mountain at sunset 🌅 is epic!

I recommended Selene based on my last experience there a couple years ago. It was excellent then. I just went back and something changed. The service was still impeccable but the food was honestly so disappointing that I cannot recommend anyone spend €200+/person until they improve

Mama Lena in central Imerovigli has some of the best traditional food with modern options. No caldera view but not caldera prices either. For something a little more fancy, Selene in Fira is excellent!

Thompson would probably be the best choice - IF it’s open in time for your trip. It might be the most anticipated hotel opening in years. Holiday House is nice and comparable to a lot of other boutique properties in town. Personally, I prefer L’Horizon, Villa Royale, Korakia Pensione, or Colony Palms for a similar price point.

I think I ran into this same snake 🐍 on the same part of the trail you’re describing last week. His coloring blended so well with the sand that I never would have seen him without the warning rattle. Luckily wasn’t wearing headphones and stopped dead in my tracks, less than 10ft from the coiled danger noodle with 8-10 rattles. Stay vigilant fellow hikers!

Picture & Location

Happened to my partner on the same day. FB had a system-wide outage and people couldn’t access their profiles. This window of opportunity allowed the scammers to send phishing DMs to people and pretend that peoples accounts were compromised. Have tried everything short of the small claims filing and no luck.

I get the feeling that Meta has a giant problem with this issue lately and they have no idea how to fix it

Love the Nomatic 20L “laptop” backpack (more organizational pockets than the similar “travel backpack”. Holds 16” laptop + 13” laptop + 12” tablet + cords/accessories + office supplies & paperwork. Sleek design and ability to carry vertically like a backpack or horizontally like a briefcase. Luggage pass-through + collapsible water bottle pockets. Expandable by 20% to pack more. The 20L model fits under airline seats and will fold into a 17-18” luggage measurement box, but will take up more airline foot space than the 15L model with similar features.

Hotel Panamera has a cool vibe with DJ and a killer sunset view!

Grand Velas Boutique Los Cabos. New adults only property and upscale in every regard. Outstanding food and very quiet. Access to their larger family friendly property next door for more food options. Impeccable service and laid back feel

You can raise the rent as high as you like when the unit is vacant. No restrictions

City of LA has rent control laws that are very tenant-friendly. Once someone has lived in a unit for 30 days, the lease becomes permanent and they cannot be evicted unless they violate the terms of the lease. You must remove the unit from the rental market completely (like a condo conversion) to involuntarily evict. Even if you temporarily remove them for remodeling (and pay their temporary housing), they would have the right to occupy the newly-remodeled unit at the same old price.

There is no loophole for City of Los Angeles rent controlled units. The RSO dictates how much you can raise rents annually for existing tenants. The property is likely priced much less than if rents were at market due to this. Don’t expect that the renters will ever vacate. But you can raise rents to market if the unit becomes vacant. The only way to get them out and raise rents to market is if they leave voluntarily (like a “cash for keys” situation)
