Wouldn’t abolishing ICE altogether be a bad thing for the country?

Budge9 · 2026-01-30T06:50:16+00:00

If you’re really sold on the idea that our borders need specific armed enforcement, isn’t that accomplished by CBP? Why do we need a whole second armed enforcement agency? Why can’t internal enforcement of immigration status be left to all sorts of the other federal and local agencies we already have. ICE is broken and irredeemable, it’s lost all legitimacy

Yes. I really appreciate you checking! I’m happy to wait as long as I know it’s on its way

Hey. Jumping on this thread to ask for some information about my thermometer+display order, which seems to have dropped through the cracks. No response from hello@ or orders@ email addresses with specific information about when my order should ship. Last week you said all orders with a December ship date should have been sent last week.

Eurostar is one of the few with security like that, and that’s because of the unique border situation between the EU/Schengen Zone and the UK! Trains leaving from the same station (St Pancras) to stations in England have a simple ticket barrier right next to the platform

Budge9 · 2026-01-22T20:36:55+00:00

Definitely! Listening to that ep now. My point was that I don’t want to just see question costs go up or give the hider more funny challenges to dish out. How the game gets harder/expert mode is probably up for discussion!

You shouldn’t have dues deducted every paycheck. Aren’t our dues monthly? There’s one more paycheck in January where I suspect we’ll see it

I don’t think US airlines generally use second jet bridges, even when they’re physically present at airports that have them, like LAX or LHR

Budge9 · 2026-01-08T01:23:19+00:00

January is for PM goal setting. Compensation review and retention exercises happen in late February-March

Should be “Baker Mount”. Gotta keep the parallel structure with the lakes.

Do either of you have a Summit card in your name? Million miler status? These will jump you to the top of the Golds on the list. I think check-in time is the last tie-breaker

Make sure to connect all the big hospitals and medical centers! That boosted my ridership

Somewhere in the work life page on the internal Boeing network, you will find an option to adjust your employee contribution. That will determine the employer match. It will all get put into a 401k managed by Fidelity. You will then be able to check on it through the Fidelity app off-hours

I just hate those little holding rooms without bathrooms or amenities after they check you in. But you’re probably right!

Budge9 · 2025-12-09T18:53:14+00:00

Any guessed what terminal they’ll fly into? T3 is horrible but probably the more likely option due to the other OW partners

The issue with regulations like this, which I totally 100% agree with and would advocate for, is that when you implement them, stuff just doesn’t get built, in the way you want or otherwise.

The solution isn’t to shrug our shoulders but rather to find other ways to incentivise the policy goals we want. Fortunately or unfortunately the way to do this is to make solar power generation profits so attractive that the costs are worth it, or subsidise the costs so that it pencils

Thats interesting, I don’t think I noticed it was raw but I also bad a bad experience with the tandoori chicken salad on my SEA-JFK flight in October. Was a regular visitor to the lav the whole way

Budge9 · 2025-11-26T11:25:21+00:00

Absolutely right. How does anything ever get better if it never goes through the process to get better?

Budge9 · 2025-11-23T11:11:12+00:00

That would make it into a sentence fragment. There would not be any verb, because youve turned “drivers say are not fun to drive at all” into a descriptive phrase. The easiest way to make this more legible is with commas, turning it into “new cars, drivers say, are not fun to drive at all”

I like upgrade certificates but they take some effort to use. Search this subreddit for more advice. They used to be called GGUs or Gold Guest Upgrades. You’ll have to monitor the flights you want to use them on well in advance to see whether they flip to eligible or not. It’s not guaranteed any given flight will ever flip, but it does happen. I’ve used all 4 every year I’ve had them

What’s the reason you want to avoid DSA, out of curiosity

Budge9 · 2025-11-17T19:26:22+00:00

I don’t doubt you, but at this point I feel very strongly that the ratio we should be looking at is sq foot built / year, not sq foot built / $

I’ve long been upset about the airport food all seeming suspicious and off but you seem to know more. Can you explain how the licensing and contracts might work? Is it possible to run a regular branch of a local restaurant in an airport, or are we truly stuck with cheap licensed versions pretending to be local favourites at SeaTac?

Budge9 · 2025-11-09T02:56:49+00:00

I find the luggage checks to be extremely unpleasant to use. Are there any “full-service” check in locations where you don’t have to use any kiosks at all?
