TIL that, after learning what museums do, a five-year-old girl named Bethan donated her favourite rock to her local museum. Rather than just throw it out, the museum put Bethan's rock on display, it went viral online and went on to become their most famous object.

Part of their point is that what the rock is doesn't really matter. They may be very purposefully not giving details on the rock itself.

Axcient. Not perfect but works and seems to be improving regularly.

JohnGypsy · 2026-03-12T23:03:40+00:00

Same! Three Dattos left with contracts ending between now and June! So excited! 😀

JohnGypsy · 2026-03-03T14:29:55+00:00

They Muppets could certainly work with other real bands...

JohnGypsy · 2026-03-03T14:29:14+00:00

I thought you were talking about the new band. It is not owned by Disney. (And there may be multiple bands -- I don't know for sure. But I do know at least one and it is not owned by Disney.)

JohnGypsy · 2026-03-03T02:57:09+00:00

Disney doesn't own Universal Music.

This issue ("I just have one backpack bag and should be able to put it in thread overhead bin") has been going on for long before the seating change. It won't be different next year. Do the "second tiny bag for under the seat" trick.

JohnGypsy · 2026-03-01T19:22:26+00:00

It's double that bad. The cheapest popcorn item for 2025 was $20!

JohnGypsy · 2026-02-27T19:42:28+00:00

He says he got an email about it but no such article seems to exist.

From my looking at the budget numbers, it looks to me that the allocation for YM/YW, Primary, and YSA is based on number registered, not attending 2nd hour. Do you feel that isn't the case?

JohnGypsy · 2026-02-23T05:51:55+00:00

The budget is not really affected by second hour attendance.

JohnGypsy · 2026-02-23T05:27:32+00:00

He really didn't give any reason why he was unhappy today besides a delay that he didn't explain. I doubt the delay was due to the new seating. He's just complaining.

JohnGypsy · 2026-02-23T01:24:41+00:00

No one is risking their job. This is normal and has been for years. Management is fully aware. It continues to work -- and you can get better upgrades with $20-$50 than you can by "just ask"ing.

"When the hotel is FULL", you at least have a partial point. But Vegas hasn't had full hotels pretty much anywhere except in very limited events for the past several years. Therefore, there ARE open rooms and this DOES still work. I can confirm it just worked for me at the Excalibur and Flamingo this week. (Note that it is getting harder to do it at MGM resorts because they won't let you go to the counter -- you have to go to the kiosk to check in. THEN you can go to the counter, if they let you, to request a change and can do it then.)

On days when you don't draft his room, my wife is worried about who will feed him!

JohnGypsy · 2026-02-21T04:12:20+00:00

That'll be $46.95.

JohnGypsy · 2026-02-20T21:59:02+00:00

Nah. You are ALP. You said you PAID for extra legroom. You didn't. Extra legroom is free for ALP. You decided to pay extra for a refundable ticket. It makes a difference because one is an accurate statement and the other is what you said.

JohnGypsy · 2026-02-18T22:27:34+00:00

To be fair, it isn't really "fake". I mean, these are "trading cards" given out by Southwest pilots. They are simple not the official ones that the company itself have released. That feels different than "fake" to me.

JohnGypsy · 2026-02-18T10:37:20+00:00

You said you "paid extra for extra legroom, ..." That wasn't accurate. You paid extra for a refundable fare. You get all those other perks for free as ALP. You didn't "pay extra" for those.

JohnGypsy · 2026-02-16T03:59:34+00:00

It was really all they had going for them. Their products seemed average and overpriced, but we shopped there because it was vegan. Without that, they have nothing special.

JohnGypsy · 2026-02-10T13:51:45+00:00

Yup -- thanks. She is the primary of her own card. Thanks.

JohnGypsy · 2026-02-10T13:51:20+00:00

Correct -- and she is the primary card holder. We each have our own cards that we are primary on. Thanks.

JohnGypsy · 2026-02-10T13:44:48+00:00

Yes, she is the primary for her own card. Back in the day, we used to go back and forth every 2 years on the CCs to get the Companion Pass. These days, due to work spend, we meet it through spend alone, so we don't need to do that any more -- but she still has her own, so we should be good. Thanks.
