One of things I hate about AA is they are so stingy when flying using their metal for J seats. They charge you the regular price not saver award >:(

My theory is that they get to keep most or all of the YQ they charge for BA flights. The cash they get is probably more than the reimbursement rates they pay to BA. And they get lots of people to redeem standard awards so they get rid of that liability too. Win win for AA.

AA Availability to Europe really stinks! I don't think you'll find a UA flight to LHR with 10 empty seats in J.

Rant at Chabad for having a website that lumps in hoshanah rabbah with the rest of chol hamoed in regards to work restrictions. Who to contact to get that changed? I am not even chabad and my wifes work is using chabad's website against her!

Seriously if someone can put me in touch with whoever is running it would be very helpful.

Try contact info on the website.
And CMIIW, but it is the same work restrictions as the rest of Chol HaMoed.

Ahh, a thread for rants.

Why in the world did sandisk change their sansa clip zip to the clip sport and stop producing the clip zip. The clip zip synced the content from your micro sd card to the player and the clip sport does not. Did you see how much people are charging for the clip zip on amazon and ebay?!

Side note, where can i get a clip zip for a normal price?

Or does the clip jam sync the files liken the clip zip?
I'm not who you think I am.

Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

It's quite annoying to see more than 50 feet of unused parking space on a block, but not one spot available, due to people's inefficient parking (25 feet from hydrant - 10 feet wasted, any distance greater than 0 yet not enough for another car to park, parking 10 feet away from the next car, etc
 etc)
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

was just about to say that: http://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=32453.1175;topicseen

Some people feel better "ranting" than just posting a "pet peeve". (It's all about the title. The toichen is the same.)

Even if not private, password protected helps a lot, other bloggers can't link to DDF

Have you ever seen a deal on another blogger's site that you needed to click a link to read content on DD? If anything, I would think that Dan would want that.

The real issue is to make it not searchable on google, but you gotta clear that first with TimT, or create a better internal search function.

Do some of my rando LinkedIn connections think I'm gonna patronize their businesses because they sent me a standard "congrats on your work anniversary" LinkedIn message?

+1. Those dumb white lines at the beginning of the street also messes things up. There is an extra line which most people don't realize can be parked on

But while that can be an honest mistake, it's usually no more than 5 feet. Compare that to parking 25 feet from the hydrant...
