So SWA will no longer have any features that distinguish them from other airlines? Guess my tax dollars will be bailing them out in a few years.

It would make me make a mental note to not fly that airline again.

I mean, yeah, if one is willing to leave longitude out of the equation, I guess you have a point. But any good-faith interpretation of @nsavage's original comment would assume, when reading "creeping north", they mean roughly

Shh, quiet; those narratives aren’t going to support themselves. That’s an awful lot of whataboutism crammed into GP’s comment.

Grew up in Indiana, left 30 years ago, and never did I imagine that I’d be reading that within my lifetime.

Because the climate in the Okanagan is, and always has been, just like Ontario. For those playing at home, it’s a desert-like (if not outright desert) region, and for bonus points it’s on the other end of Canada. Talk about a not “particu

Sounds like my wife’s AW6, which used to have this feature but doesn’t after sending it in for battery replacement (Apple replaces the Watch with a refurb), will continue to not have this feature anymore. IOW, watch that had this feature,

So did you have any more irrelevant things to say? That was uncalled for, and your point could have been made without it.

And why is pointing out anti-Western agenda… Perhaps folks don’t feel as if that’s what you’re actually pointing out. The post you replied to was referring to the direct democracy of Switzerland, not castigating all of Western society.

The technology revolution was so long ago that tech is all I’ve done, and I’m retired now. You think shipyard workers woke up one day in the 80s and said, “fuck welding, imma gonna go program me some computers?” I’ll just skip over the part

Why would he? I’ve been hearing concerns about national debt my whole life (including the 80s when interest rates were a hell of a lot higher than now), and I’m retirement age. I’m not saying those chickens won’t eventually come home to roo

I compared it to .SPX, and the 12 month charts look almost identical.

…and enjoy the same upside! No, you won’t. That ETF is a trailing indicator, and it’s trailing so far back it won’t even show up in the rearview mirror. That, and if you load a comparison chart with .SPX, they look almost identical. No up

Rereading your comment, that’s my woosh moment for the day, I guess. :-) Though a Gary Cooper The Fountainhead does tempt me on occasion. (Unlike Atlas Shrugged , The Fountainhead wasn’t horrible, but still some pretty poor writing.)

at least LOTR's lightweight fans watched the movies! Oh, there’s movies for lazy Rand fans, too. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0480239/ More of a Fountainhead fan, are you? Do ya like Gary Cooper and Patrici

I’m convinced that even Rand’s editor didn’t finish the book. That is why Galt’s soliloquy is ninety friggin’ pages long. (When in reality, three minutes in and people would be unplugging their radios.)

It used to be that if you typed, deleted the correction, and retyped, that spelling would now be the preferred and you wouldn’t have to play that game anymore. Apple broke that years ago.

It’s a graphic of the patient consent form (and not an “infographic”, in the usual sense of the term), what bias am I missing?

phhhht , Ford’s a lot of talk, and they have been for years. When they actually build something instead of blowing hot air on an earnings call, we can then perhaps close the lid on Slate’s casket. I say this as one who put down the (thankf
