It does but not to the same extent as long as you don’t get too far out in the ‘burbs... Being a more diverse port city helps keep it real

Dallas’ing absolutely means something. It’s means strip malls, mcMansions, 30k millionaires in base model BMWs. being an OU fan. It means plenty

So substitute “Allegiant”. The thought is exactly the same. They haven’t crashed either but that doesn’t mean I’d ever set foot in one of their planes...

Yes because people die if they do things poorly or cut corners. Search “safety issues” and “spirit airlines” if you want to see how slipshod it can get even with regulation.

that makes sense but what an indictment of our crappy infrastructure. the layovers you’re adding must almost double to trip times.

if spending time at the airport is what makes you happy then that go for it. Personally I travel just as much (or more than you - offices in London and Singapore will do that) and the last thing I want to do is spend time in an airport. With the exception of the biz and first class lounges for international travel

I travel for business which means I avoid checking luggage like a plague. With a rollaboard and a laptop bag if you saunter in last you’ll end up checking your bag or putting it way back in the plane. Yes even first class bins fill up especially since American will let coach passengers put luggage in there at the end.

if you travel enough to be an elite spending time in the lounges means you screwed up and have too long of a connection. You want to go from one plane to the other as soon as possible. The only time I want to see the inside of a lounge is waiting for an overseas flight when you don’t have a choice about connections

I agree with you that’s why I said “likely”. To make a generalization I would say that the majority of people going into non-profits have different expectations then those joining your average silicon valley megacorp.

It’s a non-profit. They probably don’t pay inflated salaries to management, marketing, etc. They don’t have fancy offices with expresso machines and gluten free snacks. Their overhead is likely much much lower than a normal silicon valley startup trapped on an escalating spiral of perks.

We don’t miss uber at all in Austin. Since they left we’ve gotten a couple of local options that score way lower in the evil scale. One, RideAustin, is a non-profit that actually pays drivers well and is the same price as uber.

Exactly! The EU wants to drive a stake through the heart of some of their largest car makers just to piss of the Brits. That will show ‘em!

From my life long interactions with Arkansas fans (I live in Texas and they won’t let us build a wall on the northern border) there are few sane ones so this isn’t really a problem 

An acura dealer sent us one of those “we need your car” mailers for my wife’s year and a half old TSX. Since one of us needed to get a SUV and there was no way in hell I was giving up my 9 year old FD RX7 we went in to the dealer fully prepared for shenanigans.

if you were in the back of their 777 you got hosed. They use to have a 2-5-2 configuration but then they magically added a 10th seat for a 3-4-3 configuration without making the plane any bigger.

no, no you’re not. I travel overseas a lot and I have a list of safe for plane movies. Unless I’m in a business class cocoon (not often enough unfortunately) I’m usually sitting next to someones grandmother flying back to their home country and I don’t want to deal with the awkwardness.

exactly that’s the same thing I tell people when they tell me that crap about evolution... Where you there? did you see it?

I have it on good authority that the Easter Bunny and the resurrected ghost of Mahatma Gandhi was helping out Soros too and that’s a fact (at least by these f**king Trump idiots definition of fact)

It’s Clarke Quay she’s probably three sheets to the wind.
