They don’t even have to change the color palette.

Last things I watched live:

That guy climb Taipei 101.
Tournament of Roses Parade.
NYC New Years ball drop.

It’s all text. Why bother with the PDF? Just put it straight in the body of the email.

Yeah, they are. Didn’t start using Photoshop until much later but my parents bought a 128k Mac in 1984 and I recognize many of the icons from MacPaint.

It’s the Bradley West concourse.

Phoenix is north of Dallas, south of LA. Really though where talking about 1-2 degrees of longitude based on a single point in a large metro area. The rule I’d go with is β€œavoid Mexican food from a state that doesn’t share a border with Mexico.”

That’s probably about right in principle, but needs a bit of refining since Los Angeles is a couple degrees north of Dallas.

Definitely better than the thing they do now where the page loads, then you stare at your browser for 20 seconds waiting for the content to load.

Sounds like they’re gunning for a @crankyflier.com Cranky Network Award for clever flight numbers.

That was added in one of the recent previous updates, but not this most recent one. I remember people posting that at first it only showed one airport.

The question is, does the Monaco Method still work to unlock airports from flights that weren’t showing a destination?

The real β€œproblem” is that the kids are more likely to be liberal and teach seniors how to get information from sources other than Fox News.

They don’t. But arguably Tesla does because (for the Model 3 at least), the window is part of the door but the frame isn’t, so the window has to slide down a little before the door can open.

Indeed. When people talk about flying in a parabola, the first thing I think of is planes like the ZeroG 727. Not the sort of flying Lufthansa passengers would expect.

The picture seems to suggest that only one is an everything bagel and the other two are plain bagels.

Too bad Skyline is nearly useless for tourists. They may have opened the segment that serves the airport last October, but there’s no plan to get the train to Waikiki, where nearly all tourists stay.

More seats per departure is what I try to explain to folks when they ask why SAN needed a new T1 when the runway will soon reach capacity. Lots of 738s/739s and 321s, no more 30 seat props hopping up to LAX.

I can’t really stand them either. Maybe Wait Wait if I happen to be listening st the right time. Otherwise I’ve mostly been listening to my NPR station’s HD2 channel, which broadcasts the yourclassical.org livestream 24/7.

The process feels like it hasn’t been changed from the old days of everyone having to speak to a customs officer after claiming bags. Now you do one stop and LAX has Europe-style options to self select for whether or not you have items to declare after bag claim. IAD is the same for UA transit pax.

More seats to sell if you don’t need the extra range.

Wouldn’t Greenlanders then be subject to those same tariffs and wind up paying back the $10k?
