It will be as long as you needed.

 

As seen on this week's WAN show

Oh, that would be super cool, thanks! I hate to have you do it for me, but my schedule is all kinds of abnormal right now. If you wouldn't mind, that would be great! DM me if you need any info!

Sorry it's taken so long to give it a shot, been a busy couple weeks.

Maybe I'm missing something, but it looks like registration is completely disabled now.

[–] Bangs42@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Oh man, I want that back.

[–] Bangs42@lemmy.world 6 points 4 weeks ago

That was way better than it had any right to be.

Shhh, Spirit Airlines is listening.

Counterpoint.

I have a piece of luggage that I love. It is, to within an inch in each dimension, as big as any airline I fly will let on as carry-on (I've seen people carry on larger, but mine is within the stated limits). I can carry it fully packed to the point of nearly bursting, and have done so when one of the wheels was broken.

But it has wheels, so if they're functioning, why shouldn't I use them?

Bean there, done that.

No, I'm not jelly. Or green, I've been here a year!

So, first, you can't be much more confident than an honest mistake. I didn't even know I was in the wrong group.

Second, they weren't reading my phone. You turn your phone face down to scan the QR code. They literally can't read it like that. The system tells them where you are supposed to be, including boarding group. If they're not trying to put you where you're supposed to be, they're probably tired of dealing with people like you.

Lastly, people fucking up the system by cutting in line are a part of why it takes so long to board. If you want to board earlier, man up and pay for a premium ticket.

 

When trying to register, I fill out a username, email, and password (copy/pasted from a password manager, so no chance of mistyping). I complete the captcha, check the consent box, click register, and... nothing. Page refreshes, but there's no errors displayed or anything. I've tried resetting my password, but I never get an email for that (I'm assuming because creating my account failed). I've tried different browsers, mobile and desktop, addblockers on and off, and get the same result every time.

Regarding your first tip, I'm not sure where you're flying, but I fly around the US for work, and they absolutely will send you to the back of the line if you try to board in the wrong spot. Happened to me once recently by accident, got two flights and their boarding groups mixed up. They weren't rude about it or anything, but they were not going to let me on before my group.

I can't quite get myself to subject them to the amount of sweat generated during mowing the lawn. I've got some cheap nasty DeWalt cans for that. No ANC, but they muffle the sound outside pretty good, and as a bonus still have Bluetooth. Lawn mowing is prime podcast time.

Counterpoint, a good horseshoe neck pillow. I've got great, thick one made out of a real dense memory foam. Acts more like a slightly mold-able neck brace, keeps me from being that guy leaning on the passenger next to me. I've used it on 6+ hour flights and never had any pain or comfort issues.

 

Pretty much what the title says. Is there a log file or something I could provide to help diagnose what's happening?

 

A U.S. government agency tasked with supporting the nation’s nuclear deterrence capability has bought access to a data tool that claims to cover more than 90 percent of the world’s internet traffic, and can in some cases let users trace activity through virtual private networks, according to documents obtained by 404 Media.
