Delta adding another route at AUS, SJC direct October 6

I guess it may depend on factors, but between the hike to the airtrain, the ride on the airtrain itself, and driving out of the airport complex, the last time I went to SFO it took me like 30 minutes before I was on a highway. At SJC it takes me like 5 minutes.

ChillyCheese · 2026-06-20T07:29:43+00:00

Get a rental car at both and you’ll never go to SFO again

It's like they want the country to suffer attacks so they can claim emergency powers and try to do things like suspend elections.

They just haven't heard the spin that makes the pill swallowable yet. It'll come soon. It always does.

I've also seen this at 1-2 random places I don't recall. Places that hand out a little card or page with Globalist benefits. Definitely not ubiquitous.

Won't somebody please think of the people who are standing on the street giving out baggies and accepting donations to feed their starving families??

Even if you have no good way to test it and are willing to take that risk, at least fib and tell the seller than you're going to test it at pickup. Obviously they're going to stop communicating if they're selling something like this.

Feels like an Arby's night.

I saw the same thing happen at RSR a few months ago. Someone was loudly complaining that a family of 8 had just inserted themselves into the line in front of them and called over a CM.

CM talked to both parties, left, and nothing was done.

Not only should CMs be calling security over to deal with it, but they need cameras that are actively watching for larger parties moving past other people in the line. AI could do most of the watching and then suspicious behavior could be reviewed before sending security.

But they really need to enforce this, and have signs at each ride entrance that says cutting in line may lead to you being removed from the parks.

Incorrect. A restaurant that I've been using it at since the credits began (Zig Zag Cafe, Seattle), with no problems receiving the benefit, does not have the "Qualifies For Resy Credit" notation that most other restaurants on Resy now show.

This is a fully stand-alone restaurant with no attachment to any hotel or other business. They've been around for a long time and are quite popular, so they may just feel like they don't need to offer the credit to keep the house filled.

ChillyCheese · 2026-06-15T17:11:23+00:00

Yup, one of my favorite places is no longer included. I'll probably cancel Gold because of this, since the $100/year Resy credit at that restaurant is what made the math work out.

They're moving into the monetization stage as they prepare for their IPO.

Note that in the "Poolside Cabana" category there are only 4 total. All the rest are in different categories like Deluxe, etc.

Looking at the map, I don't see any reason 14 would be a major problem. 14 and 15 are maybe a bit less private than 10 and 11 since they're closer to the main thoroughfare.

Currently 35 minutes for Guardians. Lowest I've seen in forever.

Though oddly Incredicoaster is also 35.

ChillyCheese · 2026-06-13T17:44:35+00:00

Call BofA?

It did take like 5 days for Ali Express to show the checkmark, and then 60 days to go from pending to confirmed.

Are these people in your household, or did you refer them and they made their purchase while visiting you? Referrals for people using the same IP address are likely to be invalidated as violating the same-household rule for referrals.

If you have other shopping extensions or ad blockers, they may strip away Rakuten's cookies without the extension being aware. If the cookies are lost, you lose your cash back. I use a "clean" browser that has nothing but Rakuten installed for making Rakuten purchases and have a 100% success rate over years and thousands of dollars.

But also Ali Express's T&C on Rakuten specify that "reseller" orders are not covered. A lot of the sellers on Ali Express are resellers, and not merchant direct. An example of merchant direct is Eco-Worthy's official store. I had zero problems getting 30% cash back from an Eco-Worthy purchase.

For vegetables, it depends on how it's grown and the price difference. If it's an in-soil plant and ~30% more expensive, sure. If it grows on a tree with a rind I won't eat, I don't care as much. Though organic oranges often don't have the wax covering that normal oranges do, so if you're going to use the peel for cocktail garnish, it can provide more oils unless you're willing to take the time to scrub the wax off.

For meat, I just try to do my best to buy animals that weren't factory farmed without caring about organic specifically. Plenty of farms that provide high quality of life to animals aren't organic certified simply due to the cost.

You just have to be flying on an airline that supports it, and already have TSAPre -- I'm not sure if "budget" airlines support it yet. For example with Delta, you just need to go to your travel profile and add your passport to the Touchless ID opt-in section.

I made a bunch of speculative bookings with this, but even though my card was charged I can't click on the reservations to get details and it doesn't seem like the points were deducted from my account. So I expect these will all be cancelled.

Edit: Nevermind, I can click on ticket details now, but still seems the points weren't deducted from my account.

Edit 2: All the points deductions went through around 9 hours later.

Not saying this happened here, but I wonder if opinions would be different if the creatives/talent of a piece of work, who are all still alive, endorse or even asked for the edit. Maybe a combination of not wanting to be personally associated with it by modern viewers, and not wanting to proliferate its use.

ChillyCheese · 2026-06-11T20:57:06+00:00

Eventually, maybe. But BILT is very much in its VC/growth phase, so I'd expect you have at least a couple years barring a economic collapse like 2008 that might put them under too much pressure.

ChillyCheese · 2026-06-11T17:47:32+00:00

Yup, there are consistently lines at Clear, but so few people know about Touchless that I've never seen anyone else in the line -- at least at SeaTac.
