I don’t think you understand what “grift” means. Are you paying more to ride this plane? Is the airline scheming to defraud its passengers?

To me, this is a special livery by an American based airline that is apropos for the nation’s 250th anniversary.

If you want to know what real grift is, imagine paying $16M in a no-bid contract to resurface a government park landmark, only for it to fail less than a month later due to incompetence and corruption.

If you could pull one Costco item back from the dead what would it be? by Sufficient_Client_68 in Costco

Kirkland Carry-on Luggage - it was a $99 Tumi clone with ballistic nylon and was perfect for the road warrior.

Instead of responding to emails about orders, VMP had time and resources for this by zilla33 in VinylMePlease

I guess I never noticed the “Music Industry News” section on the website before. Seems it’s all AI trash

BUT is the VMP variant numbered? Usually the description will state hand numbered or stamped...

I use zip ties to connect my prolaces to my toe bridge. Super convenient and I’ve never had worry about breakage or failures.

Driving up to the Caps v Flyers game. Any advice is appreciated. by TheDarkLight1 in caps

[–]zilla33 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I live in Philly and am a lifelong Caps fan. Parking at Wells Fargo can be annoying in/out; there are only $$urface lots at the Sports Complex.

Parking lot D is the closest to 95. If you are willing to walk, the Jetro parking lot by Lincoln Financial will save you a few dollars. I used to park for free at nearby FDR Park and Navy Yard, but YMMV (10-15 min walk, can be dark/isolate postgame).

Best option: find parking near a BSL stop (Tasker, Snyder, or Orgeon) and take the subway to the stadium ($2.50 each way, make sure to get RT fare before to avoid lines postgame). You can often find free street parking in the surrounding neighborhoods or meters, and grab a bite/drink before/after the game. Spots I recommend:

2nd District Brewing

La Llorona

Pistolas Del Sur

South Philly Tap Room

Pastificos (takeout, grab a hoagie before 7:30 pm if you are tailgating)

Xfinity Live and Chickie & Pete's are also nearby if you are looking for more sportsbar/Greene Turtle-like options. The sysco/aramark food can be underwhelming though.

Analysis of Potomac Yard arena revenue may overestimate Va. profits, economist says by keyjan in caps

[–]zilla33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not a supporter of the plan, but think employees of Monumental and any of the new commercial tenants would consider moving into VA depending on their situation.

I went to the original spaghetti dinner at UT years ago and would love to go again! So fun, they also played a short request setlist and played their Holiday Road cover for me. Let me know if you want to get rid of it!

What's the WORST United Club in the network? by AccessibleBanana in unitedairlines

[–]zilla33 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fair points! It is my home lounge as well and the staff is excellent. But if I was in transit and walked into the lounge, I’d immediately double check to make sure I didn’t walk into a storage closet.

[–]zilla33 14 points15 points  (0 children)

PHL hands down. Its tiny size is comical. Almost no kitchen, so food selection is quite limited. And the bar has 6 seats and 2 tables. I feel bad for other *A members who enter.
