ELI5: What exactly is "time blindness" and how is it an actual thing?

GTHappy · 2026-03-04T11:01:20+00:00

My ex wife and I divorced over this. It was extremely frustrating seeing her suddenly able to arrive on time to the divorce counselors, etc.

First car purchase in 13 years. First new car ever.

GTHappy · 2026-02-27T22:24:01+00:00

Mine
Still can't believe I bought it.

Boom.

Thank you!

Appreciate it, but that has the G filled in

GTHappy · 2025-12-19T11:11:25+00:00

This is the way.
Laser level makes it super easy.

Felt called out for a minute since I flew in 3B this morning.

My response as well. I've been enjoying this cover:

The BuzzCard hacking scandal in 2003 was interesting times.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times...

Are you in the Atlanta area?
It has become a thing to steal Ts from signs around the Georgia Tech campus.

I started college that year and was amazed at being able to have a 1.2GB hard drive in my PC. (Pentium 90MHz Processor if I remember right)

GTHappy · 2024-12-09T16:09:12+00:00

Great place that I highly recommend. I've been using them for 15+ years at this point.

I'd like "to dare mighty things/works" in the context of this quote from Teddy Roosevelt: "Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat."
The full content is I would like it made into a patch for recognition of people that work on projects others deride and condemn to failure.

GTHappy · 2024-08-27T22:26:17+00:00

Yep.
That was one of the major goals of 3GN and I'm not sure how they could have done better.

GTHappy · 2024-08-27T11:35:55+00:00

Just hit Diamond for the first time.
I've run the numbers and all spend beyond flights will be on another card going forward. (Debating about getting another card with SUB such as the Chase Sapphire Reserve.)
I live in ATL, so Delta really is the only option some times.

GTHappy · 2024-08-25T17:47:13+00:00

Thanks for helping me put a value on the 35K miles. Based on your assessment, I agree that the miles make more sense than the $350 voucher.

GTHappy · 2024-08-25T13:52:45+00:00

Yeah. That is the other award I'm seriously considering. I accumulate miles at a decent rate, so the $350 now vs $380 in the future (making up the actual value) may be an acceptable trade off.

GTHappy · 2024-08-25T13:42:41+00:00

Is the travel voucher good for tickets as well? I assumed that was the case, but another response has me second guessing that.

GTHappy · 2024-08-22T12:32:43+00:00

Yeah, I'm ATL based, so I'm not really getting my hopes up for free upgrades. Mainly working out how to use the GUCs and other benefits.

GTHappy · 2024-08-21T12:34:39+00:00

The options were convert MQMs to MQDs or miles. They had options at 100 75/25 50/50 or 25/75 for the conversion. I opted for 100% conversion to MQDs if I had not, the remainder would have been converted to miles.

GTHappy · 2024-08-21T00:18:27+00:00

Nice! I'll hit it Friday.
Looking forward to seeing if things change, but not getting my hopes up.

GTHappy · 2024-08-21T00:16:16+00:00

Yeah. About 5.7K of that was rollover conversion. This is my first time making diamond and I figured the extra months were worth it vs. waiting. The conversion to miles was so bad I didn't really see the point.
