    - or Wild Wild West - gort Feb 28, 23:45

  - could also have been Blue Thunder, or ... in a stretch ... Danger Bay. But yes, Airwolf. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 28, 23:02
- the good McGillicuddy: I Love Lucy -- nm - Peglegpete Feb 28, 22:29 6
  - Ha! I was stumped on that one! Terrific--Pretty fun! -- nm - Flavorize Feb 28, 22:39 4
    - It was intended to be the second-hardest one on the list, but only because the hardest one is also, on the surface, the most vague. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 28, 22:41 3
      - I'm 66 I've seen Lucy make her McGillicuddy jokes on the show reruns 100+ times. this is a generation thing. you gotta be old :) -- nm* - Peglegpete Feb 28, 22:44 2
        
        I was originally going to call that one "The Good Chocolatier". -- nm - Beryllium Feb 28, 23:01 1

LA Kings => Jonathan Quick has been traded to the Columbus Blue Jackets -- (link) - budice Feb 28, 22:14 1
- why do you trade a 37-year-old goalie in the last year of a 10-year contract? I mean salary cap, but that's a kick in the teeth. I bet he's *pissed*. -- nm - mafic Feb 28, 23:06
This was mentioned on the work slack ... it's extremely funny, but if you're avoiding twitter like me, perhaps not worth clicking through to. -- (link) - Beryllium Feb 28, 22:11

“Banshees of Inisherin” is shot really well and the acting is great. But goodness this is not a me type of movie. -- nm - MDH Feb 28, 20:41 3
- I kinda feel this way too. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 28, 20:52 2
  - Yep. It's a very good movie...and I'll never rewatch it. -- nm - Flavorize Feb 28, 20:57 1
    - It's a good movie and I've watched it and it will stick in my mind for quite a while. But I can't put my finger on why. - Beryllium Feb 28, 21:24
And, of course, I took the wrong pill a minute ago. Just a couple hours early, so no big deal, but a painkiller would've been better. - Beryllium Feb 28, 20:39

    - Ooh, You're Welcome. - .☕ Feb 28, 23:26
  - With Frontier -- nm - . Feb 28, 20:33
- I bet you could get a Greyhound for like half that. -- nm - mafic Feb 28, 19:21 3
  - Amtrak from $161 per person each way! -- nm - ty97 Feb 28, 19:22 2
    - $209, in coach, for 30 hours. - znufrii Feb 28, 19:31
    - Greyhound from $173.84, and as little as 29 hours! -- nm - mafic Feb 28, 19:25
- I’d do Southwest and see where else Frontier can get you. -- nm - spamlet Feb 28, 19:07 5
  - Atlanta, Boston, Cancún, Charlotte, Chicago–Midway, Cincinnati, Dallas/Fort Worth, Denver, Fort Lauderdale, Fort Myers, Jacksonville (FL), Las Vegas, - ty97 Feb 28, 19:16 4

      - I've flown them TTN-ATL actually, using credit from our delayed flight home from New Orleans. -- (edited) - znufrii Feb 28, 19:23 1
        
        I'm sensing a trend here..... -- nm* - ty97 Feb 28, 19:27
- are both direct? if so, I'd go with the southwest just because I got home earlier -- nm - Peglegpete Feb 28, 19:01 4
  - After getting stuck overnight in PHX, It'll be a while before we book anything that isn't direct. -- (edited) - znufrii Feb 28, 19:07 3
    - American has lots of non-stops from PHL! - ty97 Feb 28, 19:14 2
      - not to PDX off-season anymore, apparently! -- nm* - znufrii Feb 28, 19:15 1
        
        And Alaska only flies PHL-SEA, not PDX. Welp, off to Newark with you then! -- nm - ty97 Feb 28, 19:19
- How long is the Frontier travel credit good for? They usually expire after some time (a year, or less). Check the fine print. -- nm - ty97 Feb 28, 18:57 11
  - would need to book within 90 days, looks like. -- nm* - znufrii Feb 28, 18:58 10
    - book within 90 or fly within 90? Why aren't you eligible for a fee-free refund? Did they schedule change you to an overnight connection? -- nm - ty97 Feb 28, 19:00 9
      - and it's book within 90, if I'm reading this correctly -- (edited) - znufrii Feb 28, 19:06
      - see below. schedule change of our current flight was less than 60 minutes, so they are not offering a refund as an option. -- (edited) - znufrii Feb 28, 19:02 7
        
        Did you book this as separate one-ways? I thought the outbound fight had a major change? - ty97 Feb 28, 19:13 6
        
        The outbound did, but since I already updated my reservation it's not giving me the option to cancel anymore. -- nm* - znufrii Feb 28, 19:15 5
        
        ahh okay. Might be worth leaning into that major schedule change if you want a full refund - ty97 Feb 28, 19:18 4
        
        That's also assuming I can get a hold of an actual person to explain it to. -- nm - znufrii Feb 28, 19:20 3
        
        Details, details -- nm - ty97 Feb 28, 19:21 2
        
        J wants me to complain on Twitter. -- nm - znufrii Feb 28, 19:22 1
        
        Worth a try, though people complaining about airlines on Twitter is about as common as bagel and pizza shops in NYC. -- nm - ty97 Feb 28, 19:22
- 'cancellation fee'? Why would you pay a cancellation fee with such a major schedule change? -- nm - ty97 Feb 28, 18:56 1
  - my current flight is MIA-PHL which got moved up by 45 minutes, and is the flight we can no longer make. -- (edited) - znufrii Feb 28, 18:58

- Not wild about either option. -- nm - pmb Feb 28, 18:56 6
  - Johnson’s connection to the CTU gives me a lot of pause. - spamlet Feb 28, 19:05 5
    - Yep.Also wants to add a lot of taxes to businesss. While generally I agree on a more macro level, at a local level it may just cause businesses -- (edited) - pmb Feb 28, 19:30 4
      - Vallas sounds like slightly less awful Eric Adams (to a complete outsider). but will definitely be a choice/contrast election -- (link) - hollywood big shot Feb 28, 20:00 3
        
        I don't think he's good for the schools at all. -- nm - . Feb 28, 20:31
        
        He’s sort of different. He’s a fairly accomplished manager, but there are a lot of troubling things in his resume. Comments he’s made about CRT that - pmb Feb 28, 20:13 1
        
        He put out a bunch of last minute ads walking back his more GOP talking points. -- nm - . Feb 28, 20:32

    - You’d think Pippy would have already know that. -- nm - Qale Feb 28, 19:16
  - Maybe it's a canadian thing -- (pic) - Beryllium Feb 28, 18:52 [Attachment] 2
    - Ahh yes. -- nm - Pippy Feb 28, 19:45

- And I've now been disconnected from the live agent chat because I apparently didn't reply fast enough. -- (edited) - znufrii Feb 28, 17:46
- My wife missed her connection back down south by 15 minutes because someone got rowdy on a previous leg of the flight and - Reagen Feb 28, 17:41
- Have you considered - ty97 Feb 28, 17:40 6
  - My fault for booking Frontier in the first place, you mean? -- nm - znufrii Feb 28, 17:42 5
    - Frontier bot: "What did you expect, dummy? You booked with US" -- nm - ty97 Feb 28, 17:52
    - I mean you knew what you were getting. -- nm - Frontier Feb 28, 17:45 3
      - Fair. -- nm - znufrii Feb 28, 17:47 2
        
        I mean, I thought I was getting flights at the times advertised when I booked them, but apparently that's too much to ask. -- nm* - znufrii Feb 28, 17:52 1
