  - Wow. Tron her. She is sublime. -- nm - Spawn Mar 15, 05:46

Does United have an alternate hub to Denver? Local news saying check your flights to Denver, but don't mention flights *through* Denver. -- nm - Meg Mar 14, 22:48 8
- Southwest has a 'focus city' (they avoid the hub word) at DEN as well. -- nm - ty97 Mar 14, 22:51

  - Ah, guess I only know of them from flights I took to KC years ago. Now I go AA through DFW or PHX, and ORD if I absolutely have to. -- nm - Meg Mar 14, 23:01 4
    - Looking at SNA-MCI on UA, many itineraries would try to route you through DEN, but there are ORD and IAH options as well. -- (edited) - ty97 Mar 14, 23:11 2
      - My preferred flight to MCI is AA through PHX or DFW. Otherwise Southwest through LAS or PHX. -- nm - Meg Mar 14, 23:19 1
        
        I know you have no desire to go to LAX, but apparently Delta and Southwest run non-stop from there to MCI - ty97 Mar 14, 23:20

I knew the Grammys would get a lot wrong (I didn't watch) but to see them whiff completely in the 3 major categories is truly sad. -- nm - MDH Mar 14, 21:02 2
- It seemed like a shoe-in predictability who’d win them. *shrug* -- nm - IAmQale Mar 14, 22:13
- I knew the Grammys would get a lot wrong so I completely ignored them, again. -- nm - Spawn Mar 14, 21:46
Beware. -- nm - ty97 Mar 14, 21:00

What sort of mangled phone numbers have you seen people write? - Beryllium Mar 14, 19:27 4

- people here also love screwing with cadence by saying things like oh-four, triple eight, 5-7, double six, 2. -- nm - mafic Mar 14, 20:21
- My mom has somehow never figured out how to read out phone numbers. She does it two digits at a time. -- nm - Mop Mar 14, 20:16
- it took me at least a year to get used to the phone number cadence here. mobiles are AAAA-BBB-CCC, landlines are AA-BBBB-CCCC -- nm - mafic Mar 14, 19:57
