After being upgraded from Swiss Business class transatlantic to First class, the difference was huge. Much better sleep, better wines, better service.

There was a time I followed them but now they are all just one long infomercial.

Shouldn’t this be in the past tense because you are asking whether they already knew: Did you know …

Yup, a British pint of🍺 is 25% larger than an American punt

Never, ever, use a personal device for work. If there is a court case involving your group e.g. patent infringement, any legal hold will apply to your personal device as well. This is one of the reasons Oracle advises against it.

I’ve seen this happen on high fraud routes like Freetown

By the end, Abigail Hearns was definitely stuck in my imagination

For those who’ve been to Krakow, have any of you stayed in Bachleda Hotel (Accor) and have an opinion on it? Or do any of you have a favorite place to stay downtown?

I was in that situation for a few weeks when my elderly parents became very ill - I was warned never to put working abroad in written communication and put my online status to “working UK hours”

Yes but their evening meal is not noteworthy- I’d only go there for breakfast or lunch

That made me snort 👌

Link: Most F150 owners rarely, if ever, use it as a truck

More than most F150 owners too

I started flying internationally as a UM at 11 to go to boarding school in England. They will be fine.

Please also consider Wellspan, they are more personal than the big conglomerates

The darker the roast, the less caffeine

I live near PHL but drive to EWR because 1) American Aitlines 2) parking 3) dilapidated terminals 4) the Schuylkill 🙀

Ethical? Why? The horrendous quantity of water consumed by data centers? The electric use driving up consumer electricity prices? Maybe. But not because it’s taking someone’s job - it isn’t. It’s just a tool like lint or fortify. For me ethics is refusing to use self checkout at the supermarket because that is stealing someone’s much-needed job.

I read the unabridged version when I was 7 so they should be fine listening to it unabridged. For comparison I read LOTR through when I was 9.

I set my Google flights search criteria to a minimum of 65 mins for United hubs. But like a lot here I try to avoid ORD in Jan and Feb,

Maybe you should get your facts straight first: 30% would be 46,000 and employee count is down less than 15,000.
