- Basically, "All my childless Republican friends say that liberal schools are horrible!" -- nm - Inigo Mar 21, 07:01
People who ride on airplanes: is a 1.25 hour between flights in Frankfurt enough? The other option would be 4.25 hour layover -- nm - prayformojo Mar 21, 06:36 13
- The only time I've been through Frankfurt there was a layover of about 4.5 hours, but the airport is close enough to the city I was able to - Roger More Mar 21, 07:46
- Thanks, everybody. I think we'll go with the non-stop for a little more dinero -- nm - prayformojo Mar 21, 07:40
- I haven’t been there in a while, but that’s pushing it if you’re clearing customs. It’s not the best. Imma say 2/3 chance you make it. -- nm - mafic Mar 21, 07:33
- I haven't really transited Frankfurt, but I've transited Europe hubs a fair amount. What's the itinerary we're talking about? - ty97 Mar 21, 06:42 9
  - Listen to 97. I also haven't transited there because I typically fly AA. -- nm - spamlet Mar 21, 07:14 1
    - I transited FRA many years ago going US-FRA on American and then FRA-SIN on Qantas but it's been so long I don't recall. - ty97 Mar 21, 07:25
  - (and I'm assuming it's all United/Lufthansa flights?) -- nm - ty97 Mar 21, 06:43 6
    - yes----IAD to Frankfurt, Frankfurt to CDG -- nm* - prayformojo Mar 21, 06:47 5
      - So if the flight is from the US to Frankfurt and then connecting to someplace else within the Schengen zone.... - ty97 Mar 21, 06:51 4
        
        hmmm....I'll have to check that. Thanks! -- nm - prayformojo Mar 21, 06:54 1
        
        I am actually scheduled to transit FRA on Lufthansa in September to the Baltics - ty97 Mar 21, 07:33
        
        yeah, seems really tight given the duration of the flight and all that could happen. -- nm - Beaker Mar 21, 06:54 1
        
        I'd be very stressed at LHR, pretty stressed at CDG, not stressed at AMS, I'm just not experienced with transiting FRA. -- nm - ty97 Mar 21, 07:10

- Just pretend you never got it. -- nm - zunk xometimes Mar 21, 06:40
- If I had to guess -- (edited) - znufrii Mar 21, 06:20
- Purely a guess, but since it's a K-1 it may be required to be directly provided rather than via broker. - spamlet Mar 21, 05:59 5
  - Nope just a K-1 - ty97 Mar 21, 06:03 4

- Jeebus -- (link) - Reagen Mar 21, 05:37 8
  - whoa. CNBC mentions no malfuntion or concern from Air Traffic comms and status. 29100 ft to ground level in two and a half minutes. -- nm* - budice Mar 21, 06:13 3
    - Important to note that some reporting in breaking news event is...poor. Like, how can CNBC possibly know if there was a 'malfunction'. They can't. -- nm - ty97 Mar 21, 06:19 2
      - (I can only guess they are saying that the pilots never called mayday or anything) -- nm - ty97 Mar 21, 06:19 1

This may be the worst bracket I've ever had. 8/16, 4/8, 2/4, 1/2 -- nm - Volnelk Mar 21, 04:50 6

- 9/16, 5/8, 2/4, 2/2, 1/1 so I’m still… possibly finishing high. - Will Hunting Mar 21, 05:06 1
  - 6/16, 4/8, 3/4, 2/2, 1/1 so... maybe? -- nm - Reagen Mar 21, 05:24
- This is easily the worst bracket I've ever done. There's no reason to even look at it at this point. -- nm - Krusty Mar 21, 04:54 2
  - The fact that *I'm* in 1st place currently is proof that throwing monkey poop at the bracket works sometimes. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 21, 06:19 1
    - Yeah, it's 100% a crap shoot. People that are "experts" don't do well in picking the winners. It's also what makes it such a fun tournament. -- nm - Krusty Mar 21, 06:21

  - I think they didn't call a travel as they are ruling he doesn't have full possession of the ball...I guess -- nm - Beaker Mar 21, 04:50 2
    - Right but that also makes it a jump ball as both guys had possession. The refs have been pretty bad this tournament. -- nm - Krusty Mar 21, 04:53 1
