Delayed flights are always frustrating, but at least @AlaskaAir has four local beers on tap in their @JFKairport lounge, where the competition offers between 0 and 1; this is why #IFlyAlaska.

Very disappointed that @Icelandair claims to now support @BAGTAG_ but their 3rd-party ground handling provider at @NiceAirportFR refused to load my bag because their process evidently depends on removing/retaining the extra barcode label that comes with traditional printed labels

Pretty excellent article featuring my brother’s car

Part cottage industry creation, part home-brew project, this Lectric Leopard is a Renault 5-based EV that's stood the test of time.

How can I figure out how many @united MileagePlus miles it will take to upgrade a given fare class of @lufthansa ticket to premium or Business class? The handy table for such StarAlliance upgrades on the website appears to be broken when I select “partner operated.”

A car show for which you can only register via phone call? I guess that’s one way to keep out those pesky millennials and their post-1968 cars.

I’m told I can’t trust Linux anymore; I guess I’ll buy this instead.

During my biennial holiday pilgrimage to @JungleJimsMrkt my partner (who is NOT from Ohio) saw this and said I had to buy it, quoting @drewtoothpaste “Best shape, Ohio shape!”

60th anniversary of US Navy hydrofoils--a technology I kinda wish had caught on more: https://t.co/Kn0d9BrOUo (But do note that there *are* still a handful of civilian Boeing 929 hydrofoils in service around the world.)

Besides misrepresenting cars for sale and misusing “equip” on their site, invite for this event said to enter at “the cross streets between 6th Ave and S Stacy St.” Huh? That’s right; their writers managed to mix up the meaning of “cross streets between” with “intersection of!”

Most impressed with the diversity of and quantity of cars that showed up for the Seattle #bringatrailer alumni gathering. But I have to take this opportunity to poke fun at BaT’s continued practice of hiring illiterate morons (continued below):

If Thomas is correct, wouldn't the Supreme Court's 1967 decision in Loving v. Virginia also have to be reversed, barring him from marrying Ginni?

The straightforward answer to the question is 2005, when the winning Audi R8 was entered by an American team. The answer more consistent with the spirit of the question would be 1977, when the Mirage M8 finished second (after its British designer sold his company to an American).

1. As Germany reactivates its coal-burning power stations in response to the double whammy of Putin’s threat to gas supplies and the closure of its last nuclear reactors, please remember that the harms falsely attributed to nuclear can be correctly attributed to coal. Thread/

Am I the only one confused by the end of this ad? https://t.co/4l0KyQHzQo What do birds fleeing the engine compartment of a broken down Pontiac have to do with @Pirelli, their 150th anniversary, their slogan, or tires in general?
