freeedr posted:What does all of that mean and why did he fly to Mexico Airline status levels require you to hit two numbers. First is spend (EQD for American). It's $15k for highest regular person tier. And there is a distance traveled number (EQMs for American) that is 120,000. He hit the miles flown number, but came up short on the spend. American has a stupid program where they will let you pay to keep your existing status if you fall short. In this case they wanted $1875 for it. He decides to just get a flight for $300 which will put him over. From there he goes to a bar and finds himself in Mexican jail and so on.

Scratch Monkey posted:What do these “status levels” get you other than the right to sit in that special room while you wait for your flight? Earlier boarding, better complimentary snacks, free checked bags, no charge for the extra legroom seats, upgrades, same day flight change for free, same day stand-by for free, bonus miles for turning into free flights, and like you can see it's mostly little things. Some people value some bits differently. I tend to like same-day flight change a lot. Sometimes getting the free food is nice when you couldn't grab something to eat. The unspoken bit is that often you'll get treated like a person instead of cattle some times.

Mauser posted:Yeah at Dulles they like to dump three or four plane-loads of people into the same immigration line at the same time and Global Entry just lets you walk past 500+ people without slowing down. Totally worth it if you travel internationally even once every other year. There is a mobile passport app for people who don't have GE. It basically lets you fill in the customs declaration and skip the bit at the machine where it takes your photo. You still have to do the bit where the customs agent asks questions but you can skip part of the lines. And it's free.

Mauser posted:That's interesting, but I've never seen a lane for it and I don't know how you'd get around the crush of people there. I'll have to look out for it next time. Dulles just happens to be a specific ring of hell with lovely organization and staffed to the gills with incompetent, racist border patrol. You don't get a lane. What you do in the app is the customs declaration. So when the plane lands, I fire up the app and do that bit. Then when I go inside, I skip the part where I go to the machine and fill out the customs declaration and take the photo. I just go right to the general line for that last check to speak with a customs agent. They scan the QR code on my phone and ask the usual questions about if I'm importing more than the limits of stuff, did I go to farm, etc. So it's not as fast as GE but faster than most people's experience. Besides being free, the other advantage it has is non-US citizens who aren't eligible for GE can use it.

Platystemon posted:Police departments have jurisdiction within a city, which for dumb reasons the legal boundaries of which can be much smaller than what you or I think of as a city. And because they are elected but there isn't a lot of political advertising for the position, you get a gently caress ton of people who are nuttier than a fruitcake. Basically the only kind of cops that tend to be more useless are campus police. At least police departments and sheriff's departments pretend to investigate rape.

Pope Corky the IX posted:I was a staff member at a summer camp for years, and I can't tell you how often some dad would approach us while we were setting up the bonfires with a red plastic container of gasoline from their truck insisting that it would help us out. When I was a boy scout a few decades ago, we were at a camp and it rained all week. Every bit of wood in the area was soaked. And while our scoutmaster was dealing with some paperwork for the camp, our assistant scoutmaster decided he was going to have a fire come hell or high water. So he gets a brand new can of lantern fuel and begins pouring it. The entire gallon can. I remember looking around and realizing every scout was backing up. And when he lit it, it got really bright for a moment. Bright enough that every other scout troop at the camp came running over. The looks of disappointment on their faces that there wasn't a bunch of badly injured scouts who would need first aid was kinda scary. The assistant scoutmaster lost his beard, his eyebrows and had some minor burns. That scoutmaster was always an amazing example of what not to do. He was a valuable learning resource for us scouts.

Regalingualius posted:Let’s try to make this educational. Laminated glass is cool. It's really two panes of glass with an inner layer that acts like double sided tape. That bond keeps the glass pieces together so it tends to fail as a sheet rather than in to jaggedy bits that go everywhere and make EMTs very sad or happy. Then people figured out you can do all kinds of fun things if you put stuff into the inner layer. Like E-glass. Apply some electric current and it goes opaque. Which lead to one of my favorite demos of all time. A company was demoing an early generation iris scanner for access control. And they had some free standing sliding glass doors with some of the early e-glass. In theory the way the demo worked is they would do an iris scan and load it as a credential. Then they'd have you walk toward the door. The glass would go transparent and the door would open for you. Except it wasn't that fast and you got a lot of humans doing bird impressions.

Baron von Eevl posted:Curt Schilling is involved in so many obvious grifts it's stunning. I think he got wrapped up in a phony MMO (think Star Citizen but dumber) for a while and I think he also was promoting his own cryptocurrency. He set up a company working on an MMO. Got a huge loan from the RI government and the company went under. If I remember right, most of the post mortems written about it seem to think it was less grift and more him being too loving stupid to ever be in a position to run anything.

PetraCore posted:Why didn't OnlyFans just say people have to advertise their special photos truthfully? Capping the amount is dumb as hell. If she sold hers for $50 they'd still have to deal with a bunch of chargebacks. Because the vast bulk performers on OnlyFans do that. Most are building fan bases slowly, so running scams tends to be counter productive quickly. What made this a big deal is the chargebacks. Processing transactions for porn is a huge PITA. They pay much higher rates for transactions and basically they can't dispute chargebacks. Well they can but the processor will tell them to gently caress off and mutter threats about cutting them off. I'm guessing based on the sheer scale here, their credit card processor threatened to hammer them. And these changes to try to appease the credit card processor. What's confusing is they haven't booted her off yet. And add to the hosed up aspect, she claimed this was all for research for a movie, and she listed a director. As per him, it's something they kinda talked about but he's booked for the next few years. So he didn't commit to poo poo. She's apologized but it hasn't exactly been received well.

Nothing will beat the tabletop RPG Traveller for early character deaths. While rolling up a character you could roll for stuff for life experience. Which would age your character but give them bonuses. And sometimes negatives. You'd roll to see what the negatives were. Maybe scarring. Or a lost limb. Or death. The more you did it, the more likely death became.

And yeah, he was a shithead chud. He made a post about Paladins being required to kill the children of "evil" races because "Nits make lice". He got that from Chivington who said it before massacring women and children at Sand Creek. And he wasn't saying that poo poo just in the 70's but in 2004. He was a terrible person and D&D has a lot of hosed up poo poo because of him.

YggiDee posted:I love that man's videos from an entertainment standpoint but you'll come to realize that all security is just bullshit to make you feel safer. Sometimes he unlocks poo poo with a spoon, or a paperclip, or a red bull can, or a fridge magnet, or by firmly smacking it on one side. The goal is to make it difficult enough that someone won't bother. Where that line is depends on who you're defending against. What I would do to harden a home against break in and theft is very different from what I would do if someone had a stalker. For instance most home break-ins happen when people aren't home. And your average burglar isn't gonna ram the front door with a truck. So you take different approaches. To try to reduce burglary you harden the exterior entrances. For a stalker you think in layers. How do you add delay to either allow escape or the police to arrive? Then you have limits like budget.

You put sugar in bread dough to speed up the action of the yeast. My guess is Subway does it to reduce the time it takes them to produce the loaves. It's not something you really need to do to regular bread where the production time taking a few hours isn't a big deal. But I could see it is you're a fast food place making bread onsite.
