That's an unfortunate data error for this hotel name

I'm not an aviation planning expert, but I do find it kind of odd that United has 4 flights from SFO to EWR departing in a span of 2.5 hours (9:30 PM to 11:59 PM). You'd think they'd move one up to close the gap between 4:30 PM and 9:30 PM

Explaincars Drama: passengers should never touch the flight attendant panel. The FAP is off limits at all times while on board. Hands to yourself. C’mon people.

I thought of this article today when the Coom call I was listening into dropped as usual while my Caltrain passed through Atherton/Menlo Park.

Drama!

Tip: If you book a fully refundable ticket with United, and United cancels your ticket, you need to call and ask for a refund. They do not automatically refund the value back to your original payment method.

My little Bay Area city wants to replace its dilapidated community center built in 1949. To pay for this voters, need to pass a new property tax. To help the property tax pass, the measure allows people over 65 years old to opt-out of paying. And still there are retirees campaigning against this 🙁

What’s the play here in rows 45 and 46?

Drama!

I feel like I’m the only person with a Yes on Measure RTM sign in my city. I customized mine to be more relevant to my community. 🚂

Something random I learned last month is that parts of Redwood City have been suffering from a significant mosquito infestation this year. Glad that the County is doing more about this. A reminder that mosquitos can breed in as little as a soda bottle cap of standing water, so check your property.

Well that’s a gift idea I didn’t expect

That Costco is promoting a $2K discount on a $72K car says something about their target audience

“We're not quite back at the level of the 1950s, when cars would get completely new designs every single year“ Completely redesigned every year? That must’ve been wild for quality control.

The current hold time for Alaska Air is 2 hours and 5 minutes. I don't think there's any unusual situations going on right now. Is this the new normal?

Hope folks brought their own noise cancelling headsets!

Explaincars Drama: reminder that the threat levels range from 1-4 with 4 being the highest. The guidance for level 3 is “life-threatening behavior or display of a weapon”, so this is quite a serious and relatively rare occurrence, most of the disruptive passenger reports we see are level 1 or 2.

If It Fits I Sits - BART edition

With gas prices were they are, I wonder if this Car Cruise still happened in San Mateo

It's probably not a good sign when the flight attendants need to get the automated external defibrillator ready...

I flew from London to Sydney once 1. Very thankful work paid for business class 2. I enjoyed the brief layover in Bangkok - that was a good break

I used to work in Downtown San Jose. Here's a photo I took of the Guadalupe River during the 2019 El Nino season. That was a lot of water!

Oops indeed!

I feel bad for the kids who have to walk home after school on this route. That's pretty treacherous. (Taken from my dashcam)

This is too real about what happens in authentic old school Hong Kong restaurants. Locals make fun of how rude customer service is. Imagine the Seinfeld Soup Nazi, but more passive aggressive and faster.

The last owners of my house would be in their 100s now. I still get generic addressed mail that's clearly aimed at them. The ones that bug me the most are the ones that look like letters from the government, with fictional Department of titles - and then a tiny disclaimer inside.

Some photos I took in November 2001

By then I had lived in California for a little over a year, and I remember watching the TV at work: an army of doctors/nurses/students outside a hospital (St. Vincents?) waiting… waiting… waiting for victims to help. But that afternoon wave just never appeared. That image has stayed with me.

It’s been a busy day so I’m really excited to learn more about why everyone is taking about Apple and Duo because surely this means they brought this back…

I'd been wondering how this America West Airlines dba US Air dba American experiment of not having seatback screens would pan out. I guess this is the conclusion:

A Cybercab with someone in the driver seat and Texas plates in downtown Palo Alto

Dear Apple: Why doesn't Pixelmator have a Copy Merged choice to copy all layers onto the clipboard? Is the workaround really to export to a file, open the file, and copy from there?

oops

Drama!

There's probably an essay to be written about how much of the United's 787 from SFO to LHR is for premium classes vs economy class. In pixels, it's ~937 vs ~359
