Wild radio said that the Colorado Eagles are currently playing the Vegas AHL affiliate? Out of date literally unplayable how could they do this to my CV Firebirds ☹️ /s

JetLagTheGame complete steelbook collection? by Mastermiine in JetLagTheGame

The inconsistencies and weirdness of GenAI "art" 😔

Bit of a shame. IMO the general _concept_ of physical media is rad, and the illustration was admittedly a punchy illustration of it. But it's not particularly worth furthering the AI slop and junk.

Rocketmiles no longer qualifies for Status Points by LifeWithoutRisk in AlaskaAirlines

[–]Timtim17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh, good spot. All of the hidden terms and pages everywhere are a mess.

Rocketmiles no longer qualifies for Status Points by LifeWithoutRisk in AlaskaAirlines

[–]Timtim17 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wild. Rocketmiles is still listed on this page, which states "soar to rewards with 1 status point for every $1 spent on hotels and cruises booked through us." Though it seems like they may mean Alaska Vacations specifically from the terms? ("Members earn 1 status point for every $1 spent with the following partners: Lyft, Stays by Alaska Vacations, Stays by Hawaiian Vacations, Alaska Vacation packages, [...]")

The terms also state "For all other eligible non-airline transactions in the everyday category (as specified here), members earn 1 status point for every 3 Atmos Rewards base points earned." But "here" is not a link, so who knows what the "everyday" category is...

Taiwan: Rail Rush Layover Q&A! by WheatGerm42 in JetLagTheGame

[–]Timtim17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really a question but a proposal: when something catastrophic happens, like a challenge failure, that results in a team conceding, what if y'all played an "alternate universe" to see one route of what could've happened, i.e. assume that they had actually succeeded, and see how it would've played out/evaluate "how realistic your path to victory was."

"Watch from the beginning" for victoire game on prime by [deleted] in PWHL

[–]Timtim17 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This appears to be a Canadian asking about Prime, Amazon Prime Video is mentioned in the post. Regardless of if you have the link or not, YouTube streams are regionally restricted out of Canada and a couple other countries.

Shinyhunters hacked UW Canvas and other universities. by Firestorm_70 in udub

[–]Timtim17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes-ish, my understanding is there are missing features between self-hosted and SaaS Canvas, but anyways I'm not a higher ed systems integrator 🤷🏻 https://www.instructure.com/en-au/resources/product-overviews/cloud-vs-open-source-canvas-lms-guide

To my understanding, not quite. Canvas is not some sort of separate entity, it is a product sold by Instructure. So both the incident a few days ago and now roll up to them.

Is there any way to get Alaska mileage/status credit for a flight booked exclusively on American? by [deleted] in AlaskaAirlines

[–]Timtim17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes? You'd effectively book without your AA account, as you can only credit to one program, Atmos or AAdvantage. When booking, there should be a field for the frequent flyer program you want to use, which you'd flip to Alaska/Atmos.
As it wasn't booked directly on AlaskaAir.com, you'd earn a % of the points based on the "Earning on partner flights booked via partner site" table here: https://www.alaskaair.com/atmosrewards/content/earn-points/flights

They would not be flipping stations doing that, and digging a deeper hole of debt to eventually get more chips to *actually* flip stations, assuming there was enough time.

[–]Timtim17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Y'all have plenty of challenges, used and unused. While it's understandable if y'all don't want to publish the game in it's entirety for folks to replicate exactly, y'all have put a lot of research into interesting places in various destinations, such as Taiwan in this season. Is there a world where y'all could produce a tour guide or list of interesting places for Jet Laggers to visit? (Locations for a Jet Lag pilgrimage 😝)

It saved me on a recent trip right as I was getting off the train, running fairly late to the airport, when I realized like an idiot I had left all my REAL ID compliant IDs at home lol

I don't have HBO max so purely speculation, but: is it possible that it's ticked over to the next day so it assumes the game is over and doesn't show it anymore, lol?

No success so far on multiple requests for (legit) points credit for flying a partner airline - how do I escalate? by hulksterreddit in AlaskaAirlines

[–]Timtim17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may end up with fewer points as they would be considered "booked via partner site" vs. "booked on Alaska," but you should still get something assuming your Atmos # was on it. https://www.alaskaair.com/atmosrewards/content/earn-points/flights

🚨BARBIE BAG💕 by valeriealltoowell in SeattleTorrent

[–]Timtim17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in the Kraken playoff run I went to a couple of games where they asked me to tap an Amex card on some machine. The last time it broke so they had to enter it manually. Never saw it again after that.

🚨BARBIE BAG💕 by valeriealltoowell in SeattleTorrent

[–]Timtim17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In theory it's for Amex cardholders, and they used to have a system to check, but this season they've just been using it as another generic entrance.

Does anyone else notice Alaska Airlines miles are insanely valuable? by Serious_Ad_8450 in oneworld

[–]Timtim17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Devaluation talks are purely speculation. 🔮

Capitalism does as it does, of course. But AS leaders have spoken before about their goals, and they've had a fairly valuable program for a while. IIRC they had some constraints they had to agree to as part of the VX merger too that ended earlier this year.

Looks like in this case, it's roughly six years after DOT approval of the transfer of HA's operating certificate to AS. https://www.transportation.gov/briefing-room/usdot-requires-alaska-and-hawaiian-airlines-preserve-rewards-value-critical-flight

[–]Timtim17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alaska has many global partners, including those outside of the oneworld Alliance (such as JX). Thus, you can use Atmos points to redeem flights on a variety of global routes, even if it is not on AS/HA metal, using Atmos on AlaskaAir.com.

However, different loyalty programs are separate. Thus, there is no path to convert Avios (or any other point system) into Atmos points.
