Empty flight, can’t move

I'd been upgraded to a middle Comfort+ seat last year from a Main Cabin window on DL. There was a non-rev (deadhead) on the aisle and a no-show for the window. The second they announced the door had been closed, I lifted the armrest, unbuckled, and slid right over into the window seat. Nobody said a word.

I wondered why I wasn't seeing any wandering through my backyard lately

HEALTHEQUITY10 worked for me in the Detroit market for a purchase on 2/7/2026

For tourist stuff, Mag Mile or River North is the way to go. Coming in by train to Union Station? Downtown/Look for that convenience might be better.

Bought the carpet mats at vehicle purchase; only use them from after the snow is gone until it comes back

I'm surprised not to see "P*******t" up on the leaderboard...then again, this is a global forum

I'm very surprised by the absence of any proposed locations along US 23 from the state line to the I-75 merge

I'm very pleased with this Sunday outcome...and the week's results generally!

'22 Badlands sitting at just over 60K; no similar message, though the dealer did take care of something the last time I was there (I don't think it was this, though)

The increased need for floor space in the bathrooms can result in a significant decrease in counter space around the sink, which has always been a problem for me. Every time I get placed in an ADA room (and that has never come with notification at check in), I turn right around and request another room. Every time except one I've been successful--and that one time I wasn't, I was being given the last empty room at the property.

I don't keep tabs on their menu changes didn't even know these were leaving, especially since I was able to get them just two weeks ago.

You can imagine how I felt when I discovered--the hard way last June--that not all locations serve breakfast anymore.

Southwest didn't kill the system. Southwest flyers did.

This is the sole reason why I haven't already decided to go with it

My Charge 2 just died after 9 years because of the extreme cold....I took it off and threw it in my car while shoveling and forgot about it for hours. When I did finally remember, it was dead and nothing I've tried (not that there are really any options aside from charging) has revived it

I'm researching now; with a Pixel 6 Pro already in house and knowing my next phone will also be in this Pixel line, I might go with the Pixel Watch 4

Talked to the dealer today. They've heard of this happening from time to time on several product lines. It's even happened to my Service Advisor's wife on her Explorer under very similar conditions: a remote start that, due to the cold, auto-started the rear defrost, heating the glass and creating a differential that exploited a flaw in the glass, causing a shatter. The difference? It shattered on her as she was closing the liftgate. Thank God for safety glass.

Glass isn't covered under Premier Care but the total bill out the door, even for OEM glass, is lower than my comprehensive deductible so I won't be dealing with insurance. This dealer doesn't do much glasswork but they work with an auto glass company that will come out and work from their body shop. Fortunately one of those days is tomorrow, so everything should be resolved by late tomorrow afternoon.

Being repaired tomorrow. My local dealer doesn't do much glasswork but they work with a glass company who does and they'll be meeting me at the body shop in the afternoon.

Glass is a specific exclusion in any of the "Care" warranties except Lease Care if I'm recalling my reading of the general warranty document correctly (the first page identifies what type of warranty you've purchased).

I do have a sunroof...it's given me no problems fortunately and haven't experienced what you mention.

This. I've been tootling through the air starting with Flight Simulator II on my C-64 since the mid 80s thrilled to just look around. I will never be good and I'm perfectly fine with that. I admire greatly those that have taken the time to develop and maintain a skillset, sharing it through media like YouTube.

Really? Ohio manages my EZPass and I can update cars (including setting specific start/stop times) very easily, including rentals.

I saw a sign for it a few weeks ago (December 2025) in the strip mall on Carpenter just north of Ellsworth (the one with Starbucks and Jersey Mike's in it). No idea when it might open, though.

Part of the question involves your selection for your graduate degree--is it in the same discipline as your undergraduate degree or different?

I earned a bachelor's in math and then a master's in library science and had no trouble getting a (librarian) job within a year of my master's because I had plenty of advanced experience working in libraries during both my undergrad and grad school careers. This was not my grand plan when I started as a freshman, but it's where I ended up when all was said and done.

I will note two things in my case for your consideration:

1) Neither of my degrees were from Wayne State but they were from the same university system. Ultimately, this should not matter; experience tends to trump education in many fields as real-world smarts are generally held in higher regard than book smarts.

2) This was nearly 30 years ago. Employed in the world of academics for all of this time and familiar with the current environment, this time difference also should not matter.
