Not everyone is flying on a ticket they paid for. And children don't have drivers licenses.

Domestic US lounges, eh. They're better than the terminal but not worth going out of your way for. Exceptions are the Amex Centurion lounges and certain lounges run by foreign airlines, like the OneWorld first class lounge at LAX run

AFAIK the portion of the barcode related to the TSA actually is signed in some cases. That's part of the integration required for airlines to let their passengers use TSA PreCheck.

It's quite nice. I scored that on an award ticket back when getting Lufthansa first class on United awards was easy to do. Being driven from the lounge to your plane in a Porsche is a pretty great way to start your flight.

TOD upgrades don't get lounge access since domestic F doesn't get lounge access.

Driving between Houston and Dallas is a lot easier than LA to SF. Far, far fewer bottlenecks along the way.

They used to fill my basement when I lived in Wyoming. Huge swarms of them. So, I don't find the stat too far-fetched.

They don't give refresh grants?

It's fine. Been using it for years.

When I do keto I make sure to drink at least one cup of bone broth every day, generally with some extra salt thrown in. Whenever I do that, I manage to avoid keto flu.

How many markets are served by, say, United and only United? Other than their Micronesia operation, I can't think of any where you wouldn't be able to drive to an alternate airport within an hour or so drive (really just EAS airp

International flights are also more likely to be weight-restricted (like UA's TATL 757 operations).

United Express doesn't operate flights themselves. They own no aircraft and employ no flight crews. They contract out all operations to carriers like Republic. United Express is nothing more than a brand serving as an umbrella for a

Dallas, Houston and Atlanta aren't that expensive. They're three of the ten largest metro areas. $120k in those cities is just fine.

My point is that renewables aren't independent of geopolitical factors.

Leveraging to the hilt and operating at a loss is par for the course in the oil industry. It's very common, especially when new plays open up, either from technological or political advances. In the case of fracking, everyone was scra

But we do need to ship energy across markets over long distances. There's nothing on the horizon that is going to end that need. Energy is still largely in the domain of geopolitics. Russia can turn off gas shipments to Europe. Qata

Electricity may be more flexible for domestic consumption but it's damn hard to ship electrons to Japan or Europe from the US.

This is exactly what I was referring to. LNG can be shifted across markets in a matter of days . Solar and wind don't have that flexibility.

by saryant 9y ago
Natural gas energy can be transported much more easily than solar or wind. As more export capacity comes online in the US I would expect natural gas projects in the US to continue apace even if domestic consumption stays flat or declines.

Have enough in savings to walk away whenever you want. I've been stuck in jobs far longer than I wanted because I'd neglected my emergency fund and didn't have the cash on hand to walk away. Now I make sure I have a year&#x2

I haven't been to Iwa for dinner, only lunch. That runs about 7000 yen. FWIW I've found the chef fairly talkative the three times I've been there.

The inner market is the wholesale market, where chefs and such are buying fish. The outer market is more varied. Dry goods, kitchen supply, lots of restaurants and now a fair number of stores selling tourist kitsch. As a tourist I actually

I've been to Tsukiji a number of times, including the morning after Fukushima. Most recently I was there in September. They're glossing over the recent rules that tourists aren't allowed in the inner market before 10am, lar

That man is a colossal moron, which is part of why I love that article's line about how he too is a transplant. "I'm here! Lock the doors!"

I've never gotten paid directly for speaking at a conference. The boost to my resume, however, has helped me more than double my income over the last three years. I've always been able to get my employer to cover airfare and hot
