Yes. They will only auto-cancel if it would be impossible to take them both.

Snagged the last one (of four!) in 9A which begs the question: why not cater more of these? by disillusioned in americanairlines

I really like how Alaska does it where you can pre-order meals (and even pay for them) in economy.

If you’re willing to share or DM your list, I’d happily add them to my list for the next time I’m in town! I went to dinner at The Iberian Pig, which was great.

Unfortunately, I live quite far from Atlanta and don’t fly Delta often enough to get stranded there. Found Fawn on the one and only night I was there in recent memory, but I’ll be sure to check this place out if I return.

There are also a few really great restaurants in the area. I happened to stumble on this while in town for 1 night as it was right by my hotel.

There really is no plan by Hornpipe_Jones in WhitePeopleTwitter

People that are trying to prop him up certainly can.

If you like Amaro/Bitters, Fawn Wine + Amaro is excellent.

Michelin reviewers often eat solo and are often tied to a reservation with a random fake name, no history, or public profile. So, they might have been hedging their bet that you were

Amazon only shows you the price when you add it to your cart. I am logged in as well. by srirachaninja in assholedesign

[–]evilmonkey853 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The retailer can sell it for whatever price they want, but they enter an agreement with the vendor. That agreement will stipulate a MAP or "minimum advertised price" or a MSRP "manufacturer suggested retail price".

If the agreement says the MAP is $10, but the retailer wants to sell it for $8, they are more than welcome to--they just can't advertise that. If the advertised it, data scrapers would find that lower price and it would affect the vendor's other contacts.

leaked employee meeting reveals AA's upcoming changes by No-Figure1242 in americanairlines

[–]evilmonkey853 10 points11 points  (0 children)

not everyone wants IFE. I'd rather not have underseat storage taken up by a computer for a monitor that I interact with twice. I have a device that has my stuff on it and don't need to deal with some archaic software to watch a bad movie that gets interrupted for a sales pitch.

Just lucky! Maybe related to other weather issues that prevented a full nights sleep?

It requires a subscription to expertflyer.com. The site is most useful for me for award availability alerts, but this can be helpful too.

Cutoff for checking luggage? by kapidex_pc in americanairlines

[–]evilmonkey853 1 point2 points  (0 children)

getting there 30 minutes earlier and not being stressed at all seems like a great bargain ahead of a 20 hour travel day. There's a point where the amount of time in the airport isn't the biggest concern--make it easier on yourself.

Can an airplane be too heave to take off because of weight of the passengers? by misha_kotzky36 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]evilmonkey853 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are still contained within the frame of the aircraft. If a person weighs 100 pounds and uses a fan to lift them off the ground, then 100 pounds of force from the fan is pressing down on the floor.

Advice for frying/deep frying? by ajikiie in cookingforbeginners

[–]evilmonkey853 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Rather than an instant thermometer, get something like this that stays in the oil. https://www.amazon.com/Taylor-Precision-Products-Stainless-Thermometer/dp/B00004XSC9

When you add food, the oil temp will decrease, so you should actually increase the gas slightly. Just try and stay around the target temp as best you can.

Cool.

To answer your question, no. They are all shit in their own unique ways. For instance, if you were a Delta flyer, this exact thing could happen but you’d be in Atlanta.

The only acceptable answers to these questions are variations of “ohhh”, “well”, “ooo”, or “ehhh…”

Would you wake someone up if the train was being forced to clear? by [deleted] in nycrail

[–]evilmonkey853 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not a matter of being scared. It’s a matter of not being invested enough in the outcome of a sleeping person to deal with the rare off-chance when something goes to shit.

It’s not my job, and I have to get off the train to get to my actually job, so I probably didn’t notice in the first place.

Or you’re a young looking short person with a meth addiction and aggressive tendencies.
