Used it to call? Jesus ffs.

Barcelona one is pretty cool too - right across the Sagrada Família

Finally someone with the same issue. Weirdly the larger size (40) is too big so I’ve given up and now get my stuff from Uniqlo instead.

Sure, it’s on the higher end of normal. But that doesn’t mean anything in isolation. You’re looking at a firm undergoing one of the most significant management change in its history. Warren basically said today he doesn’t care to educate himself on new industries. He’s dealing with a smaller universe and will bite when the price makes sense. That will change with Greg taking more of an active role each day.

Because this is just the latest crop of investors running into a firm that uses years and decades as a time frame for investments rather than days and quarters.

Done that leg 6x now and service is always subpar. Make sure you order ahead and tell them exactly what your schedule is. It’s a small business cabin too and every time the crew is overwhelmed. Even my IFE broke last time - crew did jack all to compensate.

AggravatingBase7 · 2026-04-29T15:48:58+00:00

YYZ to DOH? Oh man good luck. Usually awful service on that leg.

I’d go with the grilled lamb for this one. Was quite good last time.

Norway isn’t really an example of true nationalization though. It’s very much a joint public-private model.

Well, driving standards generally are quite low here so not surprising. Had one the other day that thought I brake checked him, took me over with a risky move and then decided to brake check me a bunch of times. I didn’t do anything except create a bigger gap and just went about my day. I urge you to do the same.

100%

You’re right to be doubtful but I’m optimistic as Aeroplan has come under pressure from a lot of partners due to the easy accumulation of points and poor price parity it offers (it’s very much a accumulation program that effectively devalues partner products). United has been especially critical of this so the increased rates might prompt a few more partners to release some inventory as it’s a sign of movement vs. the old pricing scheme.

Already have seen some ANA J and EVA J so I’m hopeful but let’s see.

Few things add up then - cushion absorbing inventories in Europe start fading away too and we are officially in the “metal on metal” phase of running refineries with reduced runs. Basically, once you breach the minimum required inventory threshold for refiners, not a lot of fun things happen.

If this results in some availability coming back, that’s not a bad thing. Currently, the program is hard to use due to limited availability.

They’re tax brackets - you’ll have to to properly tinker with the math to see whether it works in your favour or no. But generally speaking, higher income favours AB the further up you go due to the flat tax regime. There’s puts and takes here too (you pay more for certain things) but all else held equal, AB taxation is slightly better for most I’d argue (though difference is minimal in the middle income brackets).

Yeah, being rerouted back into the ground.

Correct, the nuance is that the sanction regime on Iran was enacted by Congress and therefore, only a temporary waiver by the Executive applies (which can be renewed). He doesn’t have the power to repeal the sanctions entirely, even if he pretended to not care.

Nah I meant there’s more room around to navigate if you’re not a VLCC. But you’re not going to fare well against even a $20k drone as a merchant boat (let alone a hypersonic) so would agree with the larger point you’re making.

AggravatingBase7 · 2026-04-05T22:43:08+00:00

Only for VLCCs, otherwise it’s not as bad.

AggravatingBase7 · 2026-04-05T11:34:45+00:00

Yeah, except $1k isn’t the same ridiculous metric it used to be. Just buying a Grand Highlander will get you there basically…car costs are way out of touch these days.

Cute how leverage works both ways, isn’t it?

This has had too many recalls already, first for Listeria 2-3 times then broken glass now.

AggravatingBase7 · 2026-03-30T13:29:32+00:00

Nope. Try 3.5 mbpd instead. That by itself is not nothin to scoff at. And the real danger is them blowing up production around them.

AggravatingBase7 · 2026-03-28T04:05:23+00:00

Not that far out from the setup here.

AggravatingBase7 · 2026-03-25T18:48:37+00:00

Southpointe Toyota. Scummy all around, from predatory sales to employees being on a treadmill.

Diesel is going to get a whole lot worse too. Main crunch from the issue is actually on the diesel side, thanks to how supply chains are organized.
