  - I won't be surprised at a last minute change of mind -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 5, 11:51
  - Why answer the question now though, they could have squeezed out another two days of speculation. - znufrii Jun 5, 11:33

Krusty signal: This morning subway commute was so awesome, it made the NYT -- (link) - ty97 Jun 5, 11:15 5

  - Considering how big your system is and that a lot of work seems to need track shutdowns, I'm actually not surprised. -- nm - zork Jun 5, 11:48 2

Someone at Alaska Air social media is probably getting in trouble whether this was intentional or a typo but whoa -- (link) - ty97 Jun 5, 11:11 16
- That's amusing. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 5, 11:35
- Would the typo be you/your? I don't get how it would be problematic either way. -- nm - Max Jun 5, 11:13 8
  - Check the name again. -- nm - Baronwatch Jun 5, 11:15 7
    - Also, if your name spelling is rare in your home country, expect issues with it for the rest of your life. -- nm - Max Jun 5, 11:19 3
      - Sure, but when the name is spelled out in tweet that you're responding to... - IrishStephen Jun 5, 12:02 2
        
        You'd be surprised how many people do that when replying to my emails. -- nm - Meg Jun 5, 12:09 1

    - Reading that I still can't make the connection. -- nm - Max Jun 5, 11:15 3
      - Evidently this person (who I don't think exists, I think ST made her up) gets bent out of shape when you get her name wrong -- nm - crash davis Jun 5, 11:17 2
        
        The only person ST has ever made up is crash davis. -- nm - ty97 Jun 5, 11:19 1
