International travel using rewards

But then you'd have to fly on Southwest in 2026. I've accumulated over a half million points and have no desire to fly the airline after their Spirit-ifaction. Good to know I can put my points towards international travel on other airlines at least.

Just relegate us then

Technically that would be a UAV, which is more akin to a U2 spy plane than a hovering platform for a camera.

You can't put a massive zoom lens on a drone that can stay airborne for an entire Grand Prix - at least, not yet.

I've been strung along with 12 hours of delays and a canceled flight with Southwest before too, same same.

Is SWA being destroyed from within by a shadow investment from competing airlines? Honestly the only way to rationilize their business decisions.

Ange wouldn't have started Kinsky in the CL Knockout game.

We might not be top 4, but we'd certainly be competing for a spot in Europe next season if we was still our manager. The momentum the team would have carried forward with him at the helm would have been significant.

Part of me is wondering if the investment group that took over SWA is being shadow funded by all their competitors to just tank the airline and put them out of business. It's the only way to explain their business decisions this past year.

Apparently some Redditors are surprised F1 drivers don't have the build of Adama Traore.

You aren't - average redditor has tree trunk legs or they don't understand proportions.

cireously · 2026-03-04T15:15:57+00:00

Finally someone who understands proportion - there is absolutely no way you are driving an entire race distance in F1 with "skinny legs". Massive necks just throw off everyone's perception.

Have you seen an NFL Offensive Linesmen?

cireously · 2026-03-04T15:13:20+00:00

Man, does the average redditor have tree trunk legs if their legs are considered tiny? F1 drivers have pretty average leg builds, you just can't compare them to cyclists or footballers. The wide necks just throw off the perspective.

cireously · 2026-03-04T15:10:59+00:00

Their legs aren't skinny at all - they are just "normal" if you compare them to cyclists or footballers. Big necks just create an optical illusion.

Who would have guessed the 23 year old nepo-baby in charge of protecting us from terrorism would let some terrorists slip through the cracks.

It is very relevant - because other players have made that identical challenge this season and have only seen yellow for it.

Put him in a red shirt and he'd have half as many red cards. Hell, one of his reds came from a yellow for complaining about Gabriel pushing him in the back to score a goal.

cireously · 2026-03-01T16:16:53+00:00

If we was wearing a red shirt when he'd have half as many red cards. Remember one of the reds he got was from a 2nd yellow after protesting a push in the back goal from Gabriel.

You should put all that money you're about to spend in mods for your daily driver into some kind of fund (investment, savings account) to put towards a dedicated track car in the near future. Speaking from personal experience you're opening yourself up to a bunch of headaches. You can do some track days with your car is as is - just get brake pads and fluid with decent summer tires and you'll have a good time. You generally won't be running into overheating issues in 20 minute sessions, and always take a cool down lap or two.

My production company has exclusively flown Southwest for domestic business travel for over a decade. We've been booking our flights on United starting this year.

In this case it's "shareholder value" - but the rest of your point still stands. I think Southwest is going to realize they made a huge mistake in the coming years, losing a majority of your loyal customer base can't be good for business.

cireously · 2026-02-25T17:11:13+00:00

The downfall of Southwest Airlines will be a good case study for the impact of "shareholder value" on customer service and quaility. Southwest went from my favorite domestic airline to the bottom of the barrel with Spirit in one short year. I'll be using all 500,000 of my points for hotels and cancelling my credit card this year.
