OK, if $124 one-way ($247 round trip) doesn’t do it for you, you can get Spirit R/T EWR-LAX for $137.  

You’re talking about a route between two Delta hubs, so not exactly a typical scenario. Even so, I see you could fly SLC-ATL today (i.e. zero advance purchase) for $238 nonstop on Frontier, or $350 on United or Alaska, with a stop.

Even if you subscribe to both Netflix and Hulu, that streaming service bonus is worth about $3.50 per year vs. a 2% cash back on everything card.

How about $124 NYC-LAX?

Deregulation brought down prices by more than 50% and turned flying from a niche product for elites into a mass market product.  It was a disaster for airlines, since their cushy regulated market went away, but a massive win for consumers and the country as a whole.  

This is simply not true. Average all-in fare (including fees) is down 20% from 2000 on an inflation-adjusted basis. In nominal terms, it’s up 14%.

Many years ago, I was visiting Budapest with my family. We ate in a restaurant with a strolling violinist. As he approached our table, my father handed him a very nice tip, telling him, “please take this, and don’t come near our table for the rest of the evening.” He smiled, walked off, and everybody was happy.

Can’t we all just debate something uncontroversial, such as “what is the one true religion,” or “what sports team is unquestionably the best”?

Ask the United Airlines unions how well that worked out...

“passing along the outrageous debt the company’s owners took on when they purchased Gizmodo Media Group in the first place”

“It’s legal for the parasites who buy an ownership stake in your company to decide they will appropriate your livelihood for themselves” 

For the bill-splitting I understand, but absent that, why on earth would anyone use Venmo rather than a credit card to pay Uber?

Hey, I love Con Air.  It just gives off the vibe that pretty much everybody involved (particularly Malkovich and Cusack) are just having an absolutely wonderful time.  

Charging pad is back to $23, sadly.

True, but the crash rate for aircraft is so much lower than the probability of dying going a given distance by plane rather than car is an order of magnitude lower. 

Thanks.  So, maybe not a perfect metric for “works counts,” since it’s not that an intentional walk actually adds real pitches to a pitcher’s “mileage.”  Generally, I agree, they should be included, but for this particular purpose, might make sense to exclude them. 

Does that include intentional walks?  

Kinjamprove is a wonderful plugin.  It allows you to mute users, among other things.  

Again, when you’re talking about people, female is an adjective.  People who use it as a noun (as you are) are doing so very intentionally.  

Hint: she’s female, not “a female.”
