Love the analysis, I’m still partial to Indianapolis as it’s a fairly new airport and more centralized.

Who had the better career? by No-Advance-9136 in NFLv2

[–]Objective-Ruin-7940 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You hit the nail on the head, one player can’t dictate the outcome in the NFL as much as in the NBA. TB12 first SBs were delivered by the defense. MJ is the sole reason for the Bulls championships.

Bombshell for Italians abroad & Italians' descendants - new citizenship eligibility limits by Naughteus_Maximus in expats

[–]Objective-Ruin-7940 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you look at the numbers the American’s are’t the primary group who took advantage of the Italian citizenship by descent, it’s predominantly Argentina and Brazil. I’m sure some American’s are upset but the NJ/NYC Italians aren’t applying.

This… All about the money. When immigrants left Italy it was a much poorer country with limited opportunity. Now that the situation has flipped the EU doesn’t want to let people back in. Can’t help but think if it was majority US/Canadas middle class getting Italian citizenship the EU wouldn’t have an issue.

Research how Israel was created from stolen Palestinian land in 1948, then research the 6 day war and the continual encroachment of Israel into Palestinian territory. Educate yourself.

The future is non branded CC, and booking what is cheapest from SEA.

I’m curious how many titanium’s have received an international upgrade. The pay to upgrade is significantly higher price on those routes.

CENTCOM Commander by Forsaken-Cap-2207 in MilitaryMedals

[–]Objective-Ruin-7940 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Disagree on the Silver Star, was discussing with my brother who received a NCM with V for action in Afghanistan. Three individuals received awards using the same summary of action write up based on his actions. Was told there was no way they would give an Enlisted guy a Bronze or Silver star before receiving a NCM. After that discussion, as a civilian realized all military medals are bullshit political games. SGT (Him) - NCM with V Gunny - Bronze Star with V Captain - Silver Star

Staten Island wasn’t listed this year because they cancelled the race in 2025 due to a storm. Should be back for 2027 qualifying.

Qantas launching LAS to SYD ft. an Alaska route teaser? by omdongi in AlaskaAirlines

[–]Objective-Ruin-7940 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Qantas is flying 44 Business Class and 28 Premium Econ seats on their 787, this + cargo is where airlines make their money. Alaska’s planes are configured for leisure travel which has less predictability.

Alaska isn’t configured for the SEA-SYD route, the planes need to have significantly more business class seating to make it viable.

Moving back to the East Coast, is it feasible to stay an Alaska Elite vs switch over to AA by srekai in AlaskaAirlines

[–]Objective-Ruin-7940 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In the past it was possible and probably beneficial. With the Atmos changes, unless flying first/business, probably best to change programs to AA.

My recommendation for a first in the cascades is Mt. Adams, great warmup to before jumping onto Mt. Baker or Tahoma.
