    That's typically sufficient time.  But on an intnl schedule, not having protection from a single itinerary... theres gonna be fuckery abound. 

     

    Not sure if you're looking at immediate turnaround (with minimal stay duration), but theres no way you shouldnt be able to get <1k/person for February in economy

    Thanks.

    I just started looking and was surprised at the prices for February. I'll keep looking.

  2. Looking at a long weekend in London in February to go to a concert.  Direct flights are fucking outrageous for a shitty weather month. For 2, $5000+ for economy on BA and even Norwegian was $3,000.

    Hacking the flight schedule, I came up with this itinerary for $1050 per head:

    Outbound:

    AUS>JFK 8:00AM - 12:31PM Delta

    JFK>LGW 7:40PM - 7:10AM Norwegian

    Return:

    LGW>JFK 9:50AM - 1:00PM Norwegian

    JFK>AUS 6:15PM - 9:39PM Delta

     

    I've never flown into JFK or Gatwick. Did I leave enough time for potential security clusterfucks in either location?

  3. My circle of friends is slowly abandoning Facebook. It's not so much about Facebook but the realization that you don't keep up with all these people you're "friends" with for a reason...you don't give a shit about them.  Who the fuck wants to get into an argument over a post with someone you haven't seen in 20 years? It's fucking stupid.

    Sounds like a perfect opportunity for Congress allowing the military to operate within the US border. Just another step towards a failed state.

  5. My daughter is looking at a university in Canada. She has a shit at establishing green card residency there. I have colleagues practicing in Canada. I’ve got my eye on it. Seriously. It’s hard to make a quick move, but I’d like to start positioning options.

    For now, I’ll fight like hell here. We’re giving money, volunteering on GOTV efforts, and the like. I’m not a quitter. I’m just someone who can read writing on the wall.


    If you graduate from a Canadian university, you automatically get a 3-year work and residency visa for the express purpose of testing out life in Canada and starting the formal immigration process.
  6. But nope, Plonsky still thinks one day the NCAA will let us host the championships for Track & Field despite them telling us until they're blue in the face, our climate in late June is not gonna fucking host an outdoor track meet.  


    Uh, we hosted it in ‘04 and will again in ‘19 & ‘20.

    We also have hosted the West Regional Qualifying a half dozen times.
  7. My daughter will be running Blaster the Burro after Mines touchdowns next weekend.
    I can't remember the last time I've been this excited about something.

    Did she ask your mom for tips on how to handle a donkey?

    I hope she doesn’t trip and shame your family.
  8. Sorry incomplete answer.   That’s too generic.  What rate? 20% 30% on top of what we are taxed now?  Remember you will paying into Medicare for 40 years before using it.   

    Don’t forget that what ever you are paying for healthcare now would go away. Your taxes may go up but unless Congress fucks it up (i know, highly likely) your net costs would go down.
  9. So how do we feel npr slants? I listen to them extensively in the car and they will often quote a politician, then calmly state a fact that counters or supports that quote and move on without additional commentary.


    This is what I don’t get. NPR goes out of its way to not opine about news reports. Their editorial segments are well defined, a tiny portion of air time, and do not pretend to be a news report. For fucks sake, when Huckabee was someone a decade ago, he was always on there. He probably had more NPR airtime than any politico.

    I guess the fact that NPR spends a significant portion of their time covering the arts, education, and society makes it an evil liberal outlet since no conservative Christian would give a shit about those topics.
