STIS: what's the nicest hotel in Vegas with easiest access to the train? Trying to avoid being near the convention center.. -- nm - colin Apr 5, 12:00 16
- Nicest would be MGM Grand. But NYNY is probably your best "bang for the buck" hotel near the monorail. - ReluctantCynic Apr 5, 12:23
- I'd say Wynn, (I think that has a station out back)...with MGM Grand being a close 2nd. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 5, 12:20
- Just curious. Why avoid the convention center? -- nm - Mop Apr 5, 12:13

- Hilton/Westgate most reasonable bet. Nicest: MGM Grand -- nm - budice Apr 5, 12:01 2

- Got a thing honey roasted? I'm hungry. -- nm - Mop Apr 5, 12:19

Greg Hardy on pictures of his accuser's bruises: "Pictures are pictures and they can be made to look like whatever they want to." - ML Apr 5, 11:47 3

More pennystock news. -- (link) - GregW Apr 5, 11:36 3
- thanks! aside: him messing around with snapchat's "suicide squad" filter is amusing. -- nm - b. Apr 5, 11:40
- I'm still not sure that's isn't a penny stock. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 5, 11:40 1
  - It won't be for a few days anyway. Up H$2 already. -- nm - GregW Apr 5, 11:50
Due to some logistical reasons, I checked my suitcase today. It's so much easier, baggage claim delays aside. But the $25 is a pain in the ass. -- nm - Mop Apr 5, 11:35 19
- My suitcase was half empty. I could have probably shoved everything into my backpack. - Mop Apr 5, 11:56
- is this a work trip? charge it back, yo. also, shut up. your life is fine. -- nm - sleep commander amanda jones Apr 5, 11:44
- Take your bag through security with you and then check it for the free at the gate when they make the inevitable offer to do so. -- nm - ty97 Apr 5, 11:40 8
  - I hate that. Seriously I think they should charge people who carry on their bags fees and checked bags should be free. - pmb Apr 5, 11:46 7
    - I never see it happening (too much revenue in checked bags). And delayed/mishandled bag rates are unacceptable. - ty97 Apr 5, 11:55 3
      - Delta's actually got this figured out I think: Bags promised in 20 minutes* or you get 2500 miles - ty97 Apr 5, 11:56 2
        
        Also please explain to me why on some flights you can valet bags for free. Is that only on small planes where the overheads are too small? -- nm - pmb Apr 5, 12:01 1
        
        Yes, that's the smaller planes (usually 50-seaters) where the bins are not big enough for rollaboards. -- nm - ty97 Apr 5, 12:08
    - I've never thought about this, but I totally agree. -- nm - sleep commander amanda jones Apr 5, 11:48 2
      - wrestling baggage slows filling/exiting the plane the most, but then you have a half dozen employees doing it for $$ an hour -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 5, 11:50 1
        
        right -- nm - the brain Apr 5, 11:51
- "Do I hear $30!" - budice Apr 5, 11:37 7
  - "What're you gonna do? Take the TRAIN?! HA!" -- nm - Mop Apr 5, 11:38 6
    - question: if you carry on into the plane, but the overheads are all full and the stew says you have to check, do they charge you? -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 5, 11:40 5
      - Nope. Most airlines allow you to gate check a bag at no cost, especially when the flight is full or overbooked. - ReluctantCynic Apr 5, 11:42 1
        
        aha, so if they are overbooked and you checked a bag, that pretty much guarantees you'll be on board because they won't want to find you bag? -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 5, 11:44
      - On AA and DL (the two airlines I've mostly flown lately) they *always* make an announcement at the gate - ty97 Apr 5, 11:41
      - No charge. It's a small plane, so I would likely have had to check. - Mop Apr 5, 11:41
      - no. they practically beg you to give them carry-ons to check free at that point -- nm - the brain Apr 5, 11:41
This guy has the GOP nomination race gamed out pretty well. If he's right, a loss in Wisconsin today is Trump's likely Waterloo. -- (link) - ML Apr 5, 11:35 13
- More like his exile to Elba. Trump isn't going away, regardless of the Wisconsin result. -- nm - Roger More Apr 5, 11:45 3
  - What was Trump's Egyptian Campaign? -- nm - Reagen Apr 5, 11:47 2
    - Hmmm... a failed effort that made him incredibly popular and decide to be President. Long-form birth certificate? -- nm - Roger More Apr 5, 11:55
    - Like he'd ever campaign around dark-skinned people. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 5, 11:50
- I'm really vexed by his support in the NE. - Mel Profit Apr 5, 11:40
- A vote for Kasich is a vote for Paul Ryan! -- nm - Mop Apr 5, 11:38 1
  - "We beat Trump to get Ted Cruz. score!" -- nm - the brain Apr 5, 11:45
- I've seen a few references to this, that Trump (who should lose WI to Cruz) could be unstoppable with a win in WI / short if he loses WI - ty97 Apr 5, 11:37
- The vibe I was getting from CNN yesterday was the Trump had finally indeed peaked. Brokered convention, here we come! -- nm - Mop Apr 5, 11:37 3
  - which, for Trump, is functionally a win if the party has to blow itself up to deny him the nomination on the floor -- nm - the brain Apr 5, 11:39 2
    - I'd really like to see the consequences of Paul Ryan being nominated. What a glorious mess. - Mop Apr 5, 11:40 1
      - as much as I'd love drump or herman munster, knowing all the polls say both will get their asses kicked by either hill/bern, there is still a BILLION - zeitgeist Apr 5, 11:48
- Peak Trump again? -- nm - the brain Apr 5, 11:36
things i randomly wonder. could i take off my socks without removing my shoes? -- nm - Truman Apr 5, 11:34 19
- random poll: do you put on your socks and shoes sock sock shoe shoe or sock shoe sock shoe? - sleep commander amanda jones Apr 5, 11:43 17
  - this is so weird to me. i put shoes on after i've done pretty much everything i need to do in the morning and am about to leave. -- nm - Andie Apr 5, 12:04 1
    - me, too. if socks and shoes are planned, I will sock-up while getting dressed, though. -- nm - b. Apr 5, 12:10
  - STOP STEALING FROM ALL IN THE FAMILY! -- nm - Beaker Apr 5, 12:02
  - Sock shoe sock shoe sounds like a test for psychopathy. -- nm - Reagen Apr 5, 11:45
  - wait, there are people who don't put on both socks before both shoes? - the brain Apr 5, 11:44 11
    - I know. insanity, right? it's sort of common here (like maybe it was taught in kid school here?) -- nm - sleep commander amanda jones Apr 5, 11:50
    - Some people* wear shoes inside. - Shaun Apr 5, 11:49 9
      - i do that -- nm - the brain Apr 5, 11:49 8
        
        See? -- nm - Shaun Apr 5, 11:51 7
        
        nobody takes their shoes off at the door when they get to work. why only do it at home? -- nm - the brain Apr 5, 11:52 6
        
        dirty floors, repressed toes and other foot parts. let 'em be free, man, it'll change your life! -- nm - b. Apr 5, 11:56 4
        
        yes i take my shoes off in my place, generally. but if i'm at my dad's or other people's houses for a visit, almost never -- nm - the brain Apr 5, 11:58 3
        
        oh, for that, for me, it depends on the house. some people actually want that/let it be known, others depends on who/what's going on/etc. -- nm - b. Apr 5, 12:06
        
        Everyone takes their shoes off in Canada when visiting. I think it's just assumed shoes will bring in snow. -- nm - Roger More Apr 5, 12:01 1
        
        (Yes, even in July) -- nm - Reagen Apr 5, 12:08
        
        SEE?!? -- nm - Shaun Apr 5, 11:54
  - Sock sock shoe shoe like a normal person. -- nm - znufrii Apr 5, 11:44

Man, those Air Force pilots don't fuck around. An AF base shares the runway here in Portland. Those F-15's gunned it down the runway. -- nm - Mop Apr 5, 11:19 8
- The Air Guard can't give exact details, but those F-15's can go from ignition to flying over Seattle in "about 15 minutes on a bad day". -- nm - ReluctantCynic Apr 5, 11:30 4
  - some guy in a float plane didn't get the memo that Obama was visiting, no fly zone, they scrambled 2 with after burners on *BOOM BOOM* - zeitgeist Apr 5, 11:36 3
    - I wouldn't be surprised. The Air Guard pilots out here don't eff around in the slightest. - ReluctantCynic Apr 5, 11:39 2
      - They really don't. Hearing a pair of F-15s on afterburner is an amazing thing. The noise and vibration is startling. - Mel Profit Apr 5, 11:44 1
        
        we get the ballet of super cargo planes, usually 3 at a time circling and doing touch and goes, every few months we get a few f15s from OR - zeitgeist Apr 5, 11:57
