      Indiana judge decides a taco is a sandwich. WTH?

      My thought exactly. Who cares if a taco is a sandwich or what possible legal precedent gets set here (spoiler alert: none). The key takeaway is that the ruling stuck it to some up-jumped municipal bureaucrat(s) in favor of a small business owner.

      Colts 2024 - Embrace The Future

      Utterly absurd and anti-competitive. I'll note, however, that this isn't anti-Colts per se; rather, it's simply sacrificing schedule/net-rest equity for the sake of TV ratings.

      Ninth Circuit says Felon has a right to possess a firearm for self defense...

      I am the same. Anyone among free society has all the rights attendant to free society, including RKBA. Anyone unfit to be trusted to exercise RKBA because they are violent offenders should not be left loose among free society. Such violent offenders should be kept behind bars unless/until they...

      Wow. The 9th Circus got something 2A-related right?!?

      I have been reinforcing my decision to never again fly in an airplane.

      No experience with this (I never buy anything duty-free), but I would assume/guess that the limit is the Customs declaration limit for alcohol? (1L, IIRC?) (TSA has separate limits for checked baggage, which wouldn't apply here.)

      I have been reinforcing my decision to never again fly in an airplane.

      I think it would be pretty easy to implement. The handheld scanners can accept card payments directly, and I believe they can even charge cards associated with the Skymiles account. And, it would only be needed for anyone willing to pay to carry on. Everyone else just gets gate-checked, which is...

      I have been reinforcing my decision to never again fly in an airplane.

      Well, yes: that's part of the reason for putting my carry-on in the aisle. Amazingly, post-pandemic, there are, IMX, far fewer people trying to push their way to the front. But, some still try.

      Tips for cheap travel abroad

      A lot of the discount round-trip airfare rates have specific rules around them: day of the week for the outbound and return legs, number of days between each, etc. Booking one-way both ways should theoretically be more expensive for the same trip booked round-trip, but with the fare rules, that...

      It depends on the fare class and method of purchase/upgrade. The cash (and upgrade) prices for Premium Select, First Class, and Delta One are/can be downright absurd. Comfort+ seems to be available for pretty cheap upgrade, usually.

      I have been reinforcing my decision to never again fly in an airplane.

      I'm not certain how much the two are correlated, because there's also been a huge growth in Basic Economy tickets (that come with absolutely nothing and aren't upgradeable).

      I would think Paris CDG would be on the list, as well? Maybe Dublin, if you can connect through DUB. Where are OneWorld's EU hubs?

      Colts 2024 - Embrace The Future

      I like the move. Even if Paye doesn't work out, $13MM is a pretty small cap hit. If he does work out, $13MM is a bargain. And, he is actually a very good DL and an excellent run stopper.

      I really can't control which group I eventually fall into - the same is true for driving, for what it's worth.

      I've been in that very line at JFK, many times.

      I have been reinforcing my decision to never again fly in an airplane.

      Disney Cruise Line is fantastic, but it's a luxury cruise line. I am a fan of NCL. It strikes the right balance for me - and I prefer the smaller ships (2,000 - 2,500 passengers), mainly because I hate crowds and on the smaller ships, it seems to be easier to interact with/get to know the staff...

      I have been reinforcing my decision to never again fly in an airplane.

      We may have the very same Eddie Bauer backpack - mine is self-packable, and goes with me on many trips, primarily as a day bag. I've heard many people express similar concerns - but only before they've actually taken a cruise. There is plenty to do to stay active on a cruise. It's one of the...

      I have been reinforcing my decision to never again fly in an airplane.

      Too true. Delta prides themselves on their percentage of first class seats that are revenue (purchased fare class, cash/miles upgrades) rather than complimentary upgrade. I think it's something like 80% revenue now, when ten years ago it was more like 20%? Combined with how full the planes are...

      I have been reinforcing my decision to never again fly in an airplane.

      A long time ago, I used to be one of those people. Now (I am an aisle-seater), I stand up, get my carry-on out of the overhead bin, put it in the aisle, put my laptop briefcase on the handle - and then sit back down until the deplaning reaches my row.

      I have been reinforcing my decision to never again fly in an airplane.

      A Main Cabin or higher fare class ticket on every major airline except Southwest comes with a self-selected, assigned seat. There's simply no need to rush the boarding lane/area. Your seat is assigned and waiting for you. As for overhead bin space: I have long held that I think airlines should...

      Exactly. Stand up/walk around in the gatehouse all you want. Just stay out of the boarding area/lanes.
