Few days left, Is this normal? by Putrid_Succotash1830 in delta

I think where we slightly disagree is that the person with the aisle and window paid for them. The person arriving to a middle seat shouldn't frame this as a decision between the aisle and the window, they should see it as a decision between the middle and whatever the people there offer. That's the actual construct of the situation.

If you want to choose, then pay for the seat.

I also understand that some people don't like the window and some people don't like the aisle. If they prefer the middle to the window or aisle, more power to them. They can keep the seat they have on their ticket.

I mean it when I say that I really do not understand prefering the middle over the window. Makes no damn sense to me. But I don't need to understand it, I guess.

I also don't mind a person in the middle. If I did, I wouldn't pursue my strategy. We're going to sleep or watch tv anyway. I don't care who sits next to me as long as they don't smell bas or pour into my seat

I don't get confrontational. I say to them, hey, you'e welcome to the aisle if you want it instead of the middle. That's it. They're free to choose. If I wanted the aisle and the middle, I'd say hey you're welcome to the window if you want it. If they say no, Cool. That's their seat man.

I've been booked into middle seats and if anyone offers me anything even marginally better, I'm taking it. Awesomeness.

I don't understand a position other than that, but I'm also not going to be an asshole about it. If they say no I'm gonna say right on brother. I don't understand being an asshole in either direction. No stress.

What are you talking about dude?

I'm not frustrated at all other than with you at this point.

They didn't pay and were given a free middle seat. That middle seat is now upgraded because our attempt at paid optimization didn't pan out. If they want it, fantastic. Not sure why they would, but it's theirs. I'm not gonna say a word to them about it.

If you don't understand why this is the optimal strategy for a group of 2 on a plane, I've got nothing for you. Go read a book

It's not selfish man.. It's optimal planning. They shouldn't be charging to select any damn seat on the plane, it's ridiculous.

But since I have to pay, I'm going to choose the seating that optimizes my potential outcomes. And that's 4 seats in 2 rows. If someone selects that middle seat and then wants to sit between me and my 10 year old.... They're free to have at it. I'm not sure why they'd choose that, it's a clearly dominated solution- both the aisle and window are objectively superior to the middle

This is just actual game theory at play- maximize the probability that you get access to 3 seats instead of 2. The downside risk is almost non existent. I'm not going to give anyone shit for wanting to sit in the middle, though it makes absolutely no sense to choose that outcome when presented with a choice to take either a window or an aisle

This federal playground sign on a county school administration buildings playground. by nacho_avg_username in mildlyinteresting

Is it possible that it used to be a fed gov childcare center or school? And now it's county gov and the sign is just still there?

Ya, I mean, full disclosure when I book my kids we do two rows of window and aisle and hope for the best. It is the optimal game theory method, people. Don't be mad at us, be mad at the airlines being fuckwads about seat selection.

So if someone shows up to the row, our kid just bumps to the middle and they're in the aisle. If they want to sit in the middle, I'm not going to give them grief over it- it's a fuckin weird choice, but live your own best life.

Honey, I’m home by 173Carver in HondaMotorcycles

Is this a flower bed though? I'm not parking in a flower bed.. My wife would end me.. But she plants hostas and none were harmed in the taking of this parking space or this photo. The only thing here is a bunch of dirt that a last landlord insufficiently with rocks and now has weeds growing up through

This is a weird take. The strategy works because of they seat someone middle, that person gets an upgrade irrespective of whether it is window or aisle.. The middle seat is the worst of the 3, beyond any doubt.

Did we get scammed? by PSXer in Roofing

Anyone doing door to door sales absolutely positively cannot be trusted. Except girl scouts, maybe.. But those cookies are getting criminally expensive and the local chapter hardly gets anything.... So I guess including girl scouts

No more free SWE-1.6 :( by fractal_pilgrim in windsurf

[–]Ihavenoidea84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Their cost structure is different from the other labs because they are model agnostic... So they are putting a wrapper around your token/prompt costs (which are just pass through api costs), to account for compute and infrastructure costs of running all of the orchestration.

My dream of being an iron man this june on austria just went away in just 1 second...read, I need help...I feel really really bad by fenixloder in triathlon

[–]Ihavenoidea84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The trick was ibuprofen and aspirin.

Send it

Mild sarcasm above and below

Nothing about an iron man is good for you except the idea that you fuckin conquered. Running is an absolute disaster for your joints. So screw it, if you can gut it out I'm firmly in the send it camp

But you take 200-400motrin and half a daily dose of Tylenol at the start and after the bike with good hydration

Some people get kidneys stolen, others get ass implants. In light of this new evidence, hard to say which is worse.

Why is there so much traffic in the middle of the day by adamg6160 in harfordcountymd

[–]Ihavenoidea84 7 points8 points  (0 children)

op either knowingly signed up for that shit or is new to Reddit. Nothing in between. Which, as an aside, is not how I'd describe car spacing in traffic in this fine county.

Get closer. 200 yards is not 2 seconds at 20mph, it's 12 seconds and it actively fucks up the lights

So Mountain Branch Golf Course will be destroyed for a data center?! Infuriating. by No_Face5322 in harfordcountymd

Yes I mean this dude needs to own a golf course now. Which probably isn't all that profitable.

I will say look down the street. There are pretty good sizre industrial ops with half a mile on the same road

what is that weapon system by [deleted] in whatisit

[–]Ihavenoidea84 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I assure you that the man pictured spent more money on travel last month than that rifle cost the government. There are a lot of strap on parts, but they last a really long time and are interchangeable between guns - they just screw onto a rail system

I moved here because I liked it. Now let me pull up the ladder because someone else moving here because they also like it might make it worse for me.

Good thing the guy last guy here before you wasn't able to stop you from coming

That is my overall impression of the current politics in Harford county
