From what I can tell, AA hands them out at check in at NRT. Or at least used to, I stopped flying them on that route after that.

I'd fly BOS-SFO a fair bit, and Delta was notorious for scheduling planes that struggled to cover the distance+headwind. Had to stop to refuel so. many. times.

But isn't every airline terrible? I remember getting chewed out by an AA flight attendant for not having an immigration form "they gave you when you checked in for your flight," and was baffled by the idea that it could be possible to check in at an airport that doesn't fly to the US.

Personally, I like the United EWR practice of changing my departure gate every five minutes to a gate that's five minutes away, and then having the gate agents get annoyed when half the passengers aren't at the gate when they start boarding.

This, but for all newsletters from media orgs. "I would like to continue receiving newsletter A from your organization without opting in to every new newsletter you produce" is not a niche use case.

A few years ago we were going through my grandmother's things and found her bank passbook from when she was at Salem Teachers College. Her monthly train pass cost more than her semi-annual tuition.

One thing I'd love to hear on the podcast is how we got into a situation where the available penalties are either absurdly low (a rounding error on his legal bills) or absurdly high (jail). Seems like there are a lot of "50 dollars or 30 days in jail" type of laws on the books.

@kenwhite.bsky.social does anyone keep track of federal sentencing level vs actual sentence? Asking because Judge Kaplan mentioned that SBF would be level 60.

I mean, they also co-lead all of baseball (along with the Astros and Giants) in world series championships in that time frame. Plenty to complain about with the Sox in the last few years, but not really if we're going back 12 seasons.

Every time, I think "well at least now I've learned my lesson and I'll never do that again." And it's true, until the next time I do it.

You're more confident than I am that what Madison thought somehow matters to the self-described "originalists" on the court.

My college dorm was between the Necco factory and the Junior Mints factory. Ideal location for an octogenarian college student.

The weirdest part is that it looks like someone said "we're gonna have these huge square headlights" and then someone else said "nah, let's have huge square steel panels where the headlights should go, and hide the actual headlights"

I'm still convinced that my version of Yello's The Race, where there's an encoding glitch halfway through that makes a quick beep and then increases the tempo by 50%, is better than the real version.

For extra friction, you can activate 2fa, so you get 30 seconds of "wait, do I really need to do this right now?"

WBUR was always my number 1 preset in the car and I never listened to WGBH, but I mostly stopped listening to Boston radio in 2012. GBH seemed like there was always a ton of internal political infighting going on.

I remember being at a gas station in Michigan in 2005 and seeing a sign that said "ID required to purchase pseudoephedrine" and I thought it was really weird.

I'm firmly in the "don't buy into the de facto salary cap nonsense, owners always have more money to spend if they want to" camp, but 700/10 is enough that my knee jerk reaction was "I'm glad we dodged that bullet"

I'm convinced they only keep it around so they can have a DET/TEC "you'll have to check the crosses!" answer. Is there a name for these bits of double-crosswordese? LOA/KEA and TSAR/CZAR come to mind as other examples.
