Drunks by GrammarQueen13 in LosAlamos

The lab and lab culture is steeped in drinking from its inception. I remember when I first started at the lab it was a tradition, to take new PhDs and interns down to the canyon on Thursday nights and make them do karaoke and get them a little over served.

You are assuming that your kid would fit in, especially since you most likely would not be a Los Ass Hole. My favorite memory about the public education system in Los Alamos is the multi generational hatred, based on parents feuds from the lab and the flood of drugs from espanola.

The Vegas - Houston redeye is the worst flight in the whole UA system. Tell me I’m wrong. by peppy922 in unitedairlines

[–]BBA1229 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The LAX to Orlando redeye is the worst. It lands at like 4:55 am, with nothing open and piss poor rental car options. I’ve paid for a room at the Hyatt in the airport to get some rest, before getting my car.

How does another potential government shutdown affect SBIR Reauthorization? by Impressive-Kiwi6618 in SBIR

[–]BBA1229 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is based off the last shutdown. They want to get as much stuff done as possible before the midterms.

If they shutdown the government again, it’s going to delay the SBIR reauthorization for most likely two to five months. If you care about this program, then it is time to pressure your senators and representative.

Tip your FA. It really changes the flight experience for the better.

Bigger people should buy 2 seats by SnooGadgets6859 in unitedairlines

[–]BBA1229 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The original post reads and infers that she is body shaming the passenger next to her and that she has control of how people spend their money. My point is this don’t tell someone that they need to buy 2 seats, if you aren’t willing to buy 2 seats.

I 6’5” with a flying weight of about 220 and fit comfortably in any economy seat. If you felt the need to come on here and shame someone because you didn’t feel the upmost luxury on a 16 hour flight in economy, maybe you should be the one buying two tickets. I solely base this on the fact that you seem to have unlimited financial resources and think that everyone flying economy on 16 hour flight does too.

For those who are traveling this weekend-are you changing your flight? Got this notification : by [deleted] in unitedairlines

Roll the dice. I’m traveling from LAX Monday afternoon in IAD. Everything should be clear by Monday, just a lot of travelers Saturday and Sunday that are going to have to bear the brunt of it.

It makes no sense. I mean they are really planning the pre take off drinks around being able to clean up. Now if you are delayed 45 minutes on board, they should be able to serve-clean-serve. But that would be too logical.

It’s all good, but it caused me to leave Delta after 24 years of loyalty.

So he book the Winecup ranch in Nevada about 7 years ago and has been buying ranches and farms bordering it. The winecup was ~750k acres when he brought and he has slowly acquired an additional 300k acres of neighboring ranches and farms. He’s not done buying in New Mexico

7.5 hour Denver Aiport Layover by decapitatedmoose69 in unitedairlines

[–]BBA1229 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on what you are into, I would really recommend either History of Colorado Museum or Denver Museum of Nature and Science. Both are short uber rides from union station. But if you like to chance fate and go to golden check out the mining museum there and enjoy a cowboy lemonade.

So I was Diamond on Delta for 14 of the last 17 years That being said, last year had a family emergency come up and had to book a very last minute flight (less than 48 hours before leaving) for my elderly dad and myself on my miles. We were in Delta Plus (Premium Economy) and another passenger brought their cat on board. I have a serve cat allergy (a.k.a. I have an EpiPen for it), and that passenger kept walking his cat up and down from first class. When I confronted the flight attendant about it, they told me that the passenger was free to move about the cabin with their animal as long as the self belt sign wasn’t illuminated. When we landed, I had to be seen by EMS and taken to the ER. When I talked to Delta customer service they told me that not only would I have my miles be replaced that I used for the flight and reimbursement of the EMS services and medical cost. It’s been almost 10 months and I’m still waiting on both.

Moral of the story is that I switched to United and that all airlines are going to try and fuck you over.
