- heh, you posted this, I went to my home page (Bing) and it immediately spoiled me on the winner (I don't blame you to be clear). - Beaker 🍺 May 23, 07:36 2

WestJet Airlines plans to launch a new cheaper fare category that would be available to travellers willing to fly without a carry-on bag. -- (link) - Beaker 🍺 May 23, 06:58 23
- Have fun policing that. -- nm - Reagen May 23, 07:00 22
  - Of course haven't they created this problem to some extent with baggage fees? -- nm - Dano May 23, 07:55 6
    - I've said for years that they should charge for the carry-ons and make the checked bags free. It would smooth boarding and arguments over the bins. -- nm - pmb May 23, 07:58 5
      - "Offer me anything I ask for." "Anything you want, please just no carry-ons." "I want my lost luggage back you son of a bitch." -- nm - Inigo Montoya, Frequent Flyer May 23, 08:34
      - i mean, I agree, but i never ever check a bag. What i wish they would actually do is assign a space in the bins to a seat. your carry on bag goes in - Andie May 23, 08:12 1
        
        I'll likely have to re-think my carryon. With the laptop it's getting too heavy to lift into the overhead. Maybe go to a larger tote under - Meg May 23, 08:17
      - *sprays you with water* NO! BAD! -- nm - ty97 May 23, 08:03
      - agreed. -- nm - Beaker 🍺 May 23, 08:03
  - What Swoop did (WestJet owned) was at the gate if you had a personal item, and a carry-on (that you had to pay for), they put a tag on the carry-on. - Andie May 23, 07:04 6
    - Yeah, since they did away with Swoop, this is basically them integrating Swoop-like fares into mainline Westjet -- nm - ty97 May 23, 07:17 5
      - and i am happy about it. - Andie May 23, 07:22 4

        i don't even understand people who pack like this. I just don't even own that much stuff. I guess they take like all their full size shampoos etc, and - Andie May 23, 08:08 1

    - what a joy air travel has become. - colin May 23, 07:21 6
      - If it was significantly cheaper, I'd be ok with that. - JD May 23, 07:41 2
        
        I don't quite get how it works as a discount for the airline - Reagen May 23, 08:00 1
        
        It's not a cost-saving measure for the airline. It's the major airlines trying to compete with the discount/ultra low-fare airlines:Flair, Spirit, etc -- nm - ty97 May 23, 08:05
      - Just don't buy the super cheap fare that doesn't come with a carry-on (I don't) -- nm - ty97 May 23, 07:27
      - airfares are also *significantly* lower than they used to be. So the higher end experience is absolutely there if you want to pay for it. -- nm - Andie May 23, 07:24
      - this is very old man "back in my day" energy, i realize, but also my opinion is very valid. -- nm - colin May 23, 07:22

  - I think that scene is in Detroit -- nm - Roger More May 23, 07:45 1
    - Yeah, you see it crashing into Detroit Police cars. -- nm - Reagen May 23, 08:12
  - " super easy, barely an inconvenience" -- nm - Pippy Blue Sky May 23, 07:12 2
    - Borrowed from a local ski resort, maybe? -- nm - Inigo May 23, 07:34 1
      - Looks like a trash truck with a front end blade. Probably as construction / dump truck situation to help push dirt and then carry it away to minimize - Will Hunting May 23, 07:40
- There’s a person on IMDb that has the worst headshot photo I’ve ever seen. See if you can find it. -- (link) - Will Hunting May 23, 06:24 2
  - That's a typical Red Wings fan though. -- nm - Reagen May 23, 06:27 1
    - If you told me that’s a production still from Smile, I’d believe it. -- nm - Will Hunting May 23, 06:30
- Did the trailer give away (spoils)... - Inigo May 23, 06:22 1
  - Speculation - Will Hunting May 23, 06:24

- I really like those chairs. I wouldn't look to get rid of them unless they were damaged and not comfortable to sit on. -- (edited) - Krusty May 23, 06:22 3
  - Though I do see this type of thing -- (edited) - oblique May 23, 07:58 [Attachment] 1
    - I like that shade of dark blue. -- nm - Krusty May 23, 09:19
  - We currently have a loveseat where the two chairs are with endtables next to it on each side. The chairs pictured are on either side of those tables - oblique May 23, 07:46

I'm going to probably be a bit pissed if this happens. Amazon plans to give Alexa an AI overhaul — and a monthly subscription price -- (link) - oblique May 23, 05:45 22
- Glad I never bothered with Alexa. Though I'm Google will find some way to Google up their stuff too. -- nm - sycor May 23, 07:43
- i'm sure this paid option will come with a lot more privacy options. -- nm - colin May 23, 07:18
- I guess it makes me the old man, but I couldn't be less interested in Alexa/Siri. I've never used it once. -- nm - Volnelk May 23, 06:12 9
  - Shopping list, music, voice control for our smart lights. -- nm - znufrii May 23, 06:26 3
    - This -- nm - decline May 23, 08:37
    - Yep this and music is about all I use it for. Or sometimes when I can't remember the conversation for measurements when cooking. - sycor May 23, 07:45 1
      - heh. I did this so much in our house my wife got me a cutting board with all the measurement conversions on it. -- nm - oblique May 23, 08:40
  - We use it for music / all-home announcements, and I think Kelly adds shopping list stuff. -- nm - Will Hunting May 23, 06:25
  - Yes, I'll probably die on this hill. I will be Old Man Refuses to Yell At Cloud. -- nm - Reagen May 23, 06:15 3

    - heh -- nm - Beaker 🍺 May 23, 07:13 1
      - Thank you, I thought that deserved more. -- nm - Reagen May 23, 08:01
- Yeah, hopefully it will be an optional thing - decline May 23, 05:55
- That article hints that it'll be an Alexa+ thing that requires a subscription. Fingers crossed. -- nm - Inigo May 23, 05:49 7
  - it would be silly not to have a subscription option to tell the weather, turn on lights and play their music program. - Pippy Blue Sky May 23, 05:51 6
    - Just give me the music and grocery list portion, and I'll be happy. -- nm - Inigo May 23, 05:55 1
      - that'll be $24.99 a month and we get to record every sound we hear and we own it -- nm - Beaker 🍺 May 23, 05:58
    - 90% of my Alexa interactions are asking for the weather, asking it to play a radio station, and telling it to shut the hell up. -- nm - Masked Baron May 23, 05:53 3
      - me too. I am not paying for that very small interaction that I can easily do on my phone -- nm - Pippy Blue Sky May 23, 06:35
      - For me it's the home automation triggers (lights, etc.) That would be super annoying to both lose and think to have to pay for -- nm - oblique May 23, 05:56 1
        
        I think there are a ton of people who really get a lot of use from it for the reasons you mentioned. Tech Nerds. ha -- nm - Pippy Blue Sky May 23, 06:35
- that will be the end of Alexa in our house. bye bye -- nm - Pippy Blue Sky May 23, 05:47
