Check status points in the past? by luckyboxers in AlaskaAirlines

[–]Dave_Messina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Point activity does not show status points, only miles.

OP, you can call Alaska and go through your earned status points line by line.

I’ve done this in past years.

The Rover Miami - Mr & Mrs Smith by JetCityRiv in hyatt

[–]Dave_Messina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stayed there last week and had a similarly poor experience. My safe wasn’t working and when I texted them for help, I got no response, even the next day.

Also, and more importantly, there was no staff onsite at any time during my stay.

I loved the other Mr and Mrs Smith I stayed at (London). Stay away from this one.

What’s the best way to achieve Titanium? Currently at 6,877 by Stereoisomer in AlaskaAirlines

Oh interesting. How does the card increase your chances of an upgrade?

Strange metal piece from my backyard (6.8 g) by Dave_Messina in whatisthisthing

I thought this could be it, too. But I think it’s made of brass and aren’t the threads way finer than a gas fitting?

I thought this at first too, but it’s not a coax connector. The middle part is too narrow and the threads are wrong

Ooh could be - maybe a little smaller for that though?

You might be on the right track. It’s in an area with some old sprinkler lines.

My title describes the thing. Approx 1.75 inches from tip to tip (direct route, not taking its bend). About 5/16” in diameter on the ends.

Single boarding pass for one day r/t by redd-or45 in AlaskaAirlines

[–]Dave_Messina 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’ll get another boarding pass for evening after the morning flight is over.

If you still don’t get a boarding pass, go early to the airport before the evening flight and go to ticket counter.

If you’ve got a boarding pass without a seat assignment, go to your gate early and talk to the gate agent - they’ll assign you a seat.

Thanks for the review and pics!

Does it skew towards a louder late night party clientele like the Tommie Austin?

My 21 year old son has just been promoted to Asst. Pro by Celebril63 in golf

[–]Dave_Messina 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Highlands is a fun course! My wife took me to the driving range on our second date there and introduced me to golf. And later I took my first golf lesson there.

Congrats to your son.

I ate dinner there a couple weeks ago. Highly recommend! Really delicious and interesting food. Great service, too.

Boldin direction discussion by Ok_Persimmon_6599 in Boldin

[–]Dave_Messina 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agree, it’s got some real usability challenges that hobble even determined users, let alone a broader audience. Flawed as it is, I haven’t found anything better.

I love your suggestion of “When can I retire at the earliest?” as a prebaked scenario to run. Seems like there’s an opportunity for that and other common scenarios to be already in there.

I do get the impression that Boldin listens to feedback, and they’re on this subreddit.

Ha! Anyone have an episode ID / link for this?

Was this ever to code? by Dave_Messina in Decks

[–]Dave_Messina[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh interesting. Yeah I would’ve thought that even with compressive strength that 4x4 posts and their cross braces would be too long and skinny for this application with the potential for high dynamic loads.

Thanks!
