For future reference, Aerolopa.com has the majority of seating maps for the majority of airlines.

That’s not true. A film’s tax write off value decreases with time. As long as the present tax write off value exceeds the present value of all future film revenue, then it makes sense to deliberately not sell it and leverage the tax credit.

We’ve known they have had this in the pipeline for years. It is priced in until we get new info.

Likely difference between international and U.S. numbers.

For one, the door plugs are installed not by Boeing but by Spirit Aerosystems. Alaska’s maintenance will be focused on that specific vendor’s performance.

Secondly, other bolts will be checked far more frequently as part of standard maintenance. Door plug fitments typically are only checked during heavy checks (which occur every few years depending on type and interval) unless there’s a specific incident that demands an immediate assessment.

Embraer is still an independent company. The merger was a victim of COVID market uncertainty.

You’re stripping these people of way too much agency. As a formerly homeless heroin addict, I assure you that the vast majority of addicts and dual diagnosis individuals can get off the street. Estonia and Switzerland have accomplished this for fentanyl and heroin respectively, in addition to stimulant and alcohol abusers.

The issue is there’s a cohort who thinks that the solutions that enable safe streets require too much sacrifice of one’s individual liberty - even if said individual abuses their freedom to harm themself and others.

That leaves an opening for someone to exploit with a market clearing price.

I wish this were true but frankly, at least on most social media sites, people will happily move forward with any kind of mob justice irrespective of the truth or one’s writing style.

I do think that precision in writing is useful for defending one’s prior claims (and for other reasons!) but I think that’s orthogonal to defending one’s self from mass action on today’s internet.

I’m surprised they don’t just use private RSS feeds for posts like they do for podcasts.

It depends on the market. I worked at the East Palo Alto McD while I was getting back on my feet a few years back and we had hours where 60-70% of the orders used the app in some way. I’d say probably 35-40% of our customers used the app; of regulars, more than 50%.

You can get Oxycodone (usually Mundipharma) in blister packs in the UK/EU from dealers. More common than lose pills.

Not true. I went to a Reform Temple as a kid and two of my companies I cofounded with best friends who were Jewish. I don’t have to accept your clearly fatuous claim that I’m a Nazi because I’m not.
