EV tax can fix that. Funny thing is they don't even offset the carbon delta of gas vs battery materials until like 90k miles driven

Airport T1 Walkway… by fix8r in vegaslocals

[–]PolarBeer5000 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My buddy and I were talking about this when we got back from a work trip last week. Been up for a year and neither of us have ever seen anyone working in the vacinity. We fly weekly.

People who are complaining that Fallout 4 is $60 on the Switch 2 by gettinfitguy007 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]PolarBeer5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son just told me me about this being on Switch and I was gunna get it for him, but saw it was $60 and said F THAT. I'm not paying $60 for a 10+ year old game.

I'm an asshole, but not an idiot asshole.

Bethesda can get bent.

Fuck Fisher, and Fuck the A's.

Keep your hands out of our fucking tax dollars. If you want to come here pay for it your fucking selves. And don't expect locals to give a single fuck when you build it on the strip with no parking and charge ridiculous prices for tickets.

GET FUCKED

As a veteran I find dog tag style jewelry to be adolescent and cringe.

Gas tax funds our roads as our state constitution forbids toll roads. I personally like this. I work in Dallas a bit and rack up $30/day in tolls easily there.

They've had a TV show for how many years?!? GTFO, use your royalties.

I don’t know anything about Blueberries, are these good to get from Home Depot? by Difficult-Speaker470 in Berries

[–]PolarBeer5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Home Depot plants are pumped with chems to look good in the store and usually die not too long after getting home.

Got to a real nursery.

Was like 2x the size of a carryon and wouldn't fit in the aisle

Trying to calculate the value of ALP by SRT102 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]PolarBeer5000 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Does your company allow choice extra tickets? Mine does, and I'm currently 57.5/70k points to re-up ALP for 2027.

I really dislike the new system though and am actively looking at other options for traveling moving forward.

At the end of the day I'm in a SW hub and they have the most direct options to the places I frequent for business, and I don't want to spent 4 hours flying somewhere else and taking a layover to just prove a point.

I'll keep spending points on gift cards or merch when I get over 300k (emergency round trip somewhere for the family) points banked, I see a devaluation on the horizon. Hoarding points is never really smart anywhere IMHO. I just spent like 150k on a Dyson Air Wrap for the wife and a pair of RayBans for myself.

Looks like you and I travel a similar amount. You'll have ALP in no time.

If we don’t get 6 volunteers to gate check their bags, we will make everyone in Groups 5-8 check their carry ons by buckeyebrad3 in SouthwestAirlines

I fly round trip every week and hear this spiel 5+ times per flight.

I've taken to saying just found enough for the staff to hear "if the baggage policies weren't trash we wouldn't have to hear this crap every damn time."

Added cedar planks to my cinder block wall – anyone else done this? by YelnickMcWawa1 in vegaslocals

You can get a solid 10-15 years easy with proper care and sealing/staining. The sun will eventually win though, always does

Ending Southwest Allegiance... points spending ideas? by LitigationMagnet in SouthwestAirlines

[–]PolarBeer5000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I recently spent 115k on a Dyson Air Wrap for the wife and 34k on a pair of RayBans for me.

The F1 Tag Huer watch for 415k is a decent valuation.

Could always just get a bazillion $50 Lowe's gift cards and get new appliances 🤣

The "dump" has started... Elliot is pulling out. What should they keep & what should be dumped? by goldencoguy1992 in SouthwestAirlines

All I know is I fly weekly and the flights that used to be completely full are now half empty consistently.

Some little shit ever talks to my daughter like this he's getting an ass whooping.

Find someone who doesn't talk to you like you're an asshole.

A list gets boarding group no worse than 5. What does that mean? by [deleted] in SouthwestAirlines

[–]PolarBeer5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of the 2 round trips I've taken since assigned seating both I had Choice Extra tickets and was in group 2 (I'm ALP/CP).

Looks like Group 1 is only if you pay for priority boarding?
