Essentially Flyertalk / around the world

« on: December 16, 2016, 11:16:45 AM »

i have recently been looking into circumnavigating the globe. if you use real money it can be done in the $4000-$5000 range, but if you use miles i have been getting results around 125k-160k, which seems crazy low to me. here are a few dummy itineraries using delta's engine and skyteam partners. the key is to find nonstops between your destinations a) because nobody likes layovers and b) because why waste the time flying to a place without exploring it!
also i always end up in tokyo for a punipak 

kc - rome - abu dhabi/dubai - guangzhou - tokyo - kc
162,500 + $344




kc - london - dubai - seoul - tokyo - kc
137,500 + $291




kc - nyc - moscow - ho chi minh city - tokyo - mci -
147,500 + $308

The New Joe Montgomery Birther Pit / thread to explain stuff from other threads to wacky

« on: July 14, 2016, 08:23:38 PM »

I don't disagree.  What then is the purpose of listing the grievances to conservatives or Americans or white people or whoever he was listing them for?  Clearly he had a purpose, I'd like to know what the eff it was.

You,  Emo, and fsd seem to think they have had no bearing on where we are at today

Wait, what? You think conservatives are the reason for racism?

no. no no no no. nobody is saying that. let's break it down.

cat27 asked what the purpose of bringing up "old crap" to conservatives/white people/americans/whoever.

lib responded by saying it's because cat27, emo, fsd, etc, seem to think the "old crap" has nothing to do with the matters of today, implying that he (lib) thinks the "old crap" does in fact have something to do with the matters of today.

then you (wacky) said: "Wait, what? You think conservatives are the reason for racism?"

of course lib (or anyone else ITT) does not think that.  hopefully you can see how out of left field your question was. hopefully?

Essentially Flyertalk / text-y language in work emails

« on: May 05, 2016, 03:24:21 PM »

like LOLs and emojis and what not. the other day somebody wrote in an email "LMK when i can..." or something, and i kind of appreciated it. emails are unnecessarily formal most of the time in my line of work, at least in emails with clients or really anyone out of the office. when is this barrier going down? maybe it already has for some of you...?

« on: October 26, 2015, 11:42:46 AM »

(1 of 2)

Let's Pick there Ribs clean!!!

Go Jays Go !!! Go Jays Go !!!

It's RUMble Time ... Brothers!!!

Fear Da Bird and FYSMC Kansas !!!

Let's Go Bluejays !!!

I just find it ridiculous I'm nervous with david rough ridin' price on the mound cmon jays lets rough ridin' go

Please take it to Ventura.

attaboy revere

Gotta capitalize. Royals baseball pls!

Oh come the eff on.

rough ridin' Christ. Awful ABs from JD and Jose

3 straight gross at bats.

Leadoff double and can't get him home. For eff sakes.

this James Bond movie looks awesome

Let's go price

Well, that's a good sign....Escobar doesn't get on....I'll take any silver linings right now...WHEW!

Godfuckingdammit.

So much for singles hitting team

Unlike some hitters, Zobrist doesn't just stare it down, he ran hard on that if it wasn't going out he was hustling

"plays the game the right way"

dont panic guys.. we got 8 innings to crush them still

We're going to mash Ventura.

It aint looking good pallys

  pallys must be a torontoe thing

Generous calls there tbh, eff you Buck seriously the most annoying, irritating pbp guy in sports

you just wait until the 9th pally

This board is going to be terrible tonight isn't it

Wtf Price??? Getting hit hard as eff

Price is throwing this crap into the garbage.

Thats a double

Dudes that's clearly got to come back

embarrassingly bad call

ARE YoU rough ridin' KIDDING ME????

the lower case "o" really got me pretty good

Virgin interfered. What a bunch of BS.

Price will be lucky to find a job in MLB after this.

 

That is not a rough ridin' home rin eff off mlb that is the bighest bunch of horse rough ridin' crap i have ever seen eff this shot. That is fan interference all day. I will never attend another rigged mlb game again. eff you mlb you wont get another dime from me.

Ventura locked in. Good season guys

Price BABIP .000

oh man

circlejerk for hosmer

well all the luck is against us tonight

Over/Under on the amount of chicks the fan has slept with:
Over 0.5, +10000
Under 0.5, -200000000

He's getting asked about his league of legends career

they are interviewing that dumb eff?

Oh great fox obsession of the game tonight will be the rough ridin' sasquatch in the outfield

gfy ventura you little bitch

1-2 curve......6 times now, and they still haven't figured it out.

Wow, I'm too tired for this crap, it's 3am here and it's painful to watch this.

is that a fanningbrag?

getting dominated by the 4+ era scrub again.

just wrapped up some great pizza here and digging into 2nd bottle of wine with my wife.

Now, about 5 runs and it could be quite a night.

Zobrist's stance is so annoying

Tell me about that turf Reynolds.

This team is so rough ridin' lucky my god..

Baseball gods rooting for Royals

Royals have 7 HRs to our 4 this series...wtf

Holy eff this thread is a clusterfuck.

Does anyone know if this fox crew will be in the WS?

oh really fox eff off already

This is not a national-caliber broadcast. This is some RogersTV level bullshit.

this interview is pissing me off

he looks like a hobbit

I wish Bautista hit that 30 seconds earlier to shut the kid up

catch that bilbo baggins

Yesssss

Take that:

1) Reynolds
2) Buck
3) Other bad person in the box
4) Erin Andrews
5) Fkin piece of crap and his brother
6) Royals one and all

Hmm I must have missed the excitement on that home run call.

BUCK! 

EE is 4-21 with no extra base hits in this series

wow, gj royals pitchers

Lol, Ventura trying to anger the Jays? Big mistake

Ventura is so rough ridin' annoying literally all the time.

Good keep stepping out on the little rough ridin' prick eff him, it clearly rattles him

but bat flips are so disrespectful

Win or lose, somebody needs to go to the mound and beat the everliving crap out of Ventura. Let's see him trying to eat corn on the cob with no rough ridin' teeth.

if we do anything against ventura we need to bat flip to show this bitch off

ALSO YES PILLAR

so rough ridin' happy with pillar, my MVP of the postseason

Back2Back...keep the line moving!!!!!

Every batter should step out as often as they can,and watch smoke come out of his nostrils while he throws balls.

"Will you be putting the ball next to the heads in your freezer?" Missed opportunity there by Erin Andrews.

Fml Goins

"hes a good bunter"

this team fails so hard with RISP..unbelievable

Are you rough ridin'

Come on Donaldson

torontoekatdaddy, NO!

lazy fly balls with RISP for days

lol... wow, what a grab.

Horseshoes up their asses.

i wish i had a cat to punch

This game is turning into a sausage fest.

 

Josh Donaldson's line out was hit 114 MPH... League BA on balls hit that hard is .701.

Blue Jays starter has been better in probably every game.

 

rough ridin' hate rios with a burning passion

I rough ridin' hate alex rios

Escobar up to plate. "He's due"

Srsly?

Nice swing but here comes Herrera

got lost fuckhead!

Well, we had our chances with Ventura.

Am I the only one that thinks there is no way that KC is winning this game?

yep

eff off Fox broadcast crew. Clearly favouring KC.

dat spelling tho

isn't it odd that you take the conservative/republican/anti-liberal/anti-democrat stance on every single issue that ever pops up? if you disagree with the premise of the question, can you give an example of where this isn't the case? i'm not gE'ing or anything, i just want to hear what your reasoning is

Kansas State Football / 2014 off/def performance chart using 7th grade-level excel skills

« on: November 25, 2014, 09:58:08 AM »

so i wanted to see how our offensive and defensive units have performed vs our opponents' respective units, including their national ranks.

the vertical axis is the offensive/defensive rank of our opponent.
the horizontal axis is the points scored in the game.
the lines connect KSU's score & opponent's score (green lines are KSU win, red lines are KSU loss)
the data point WITH a label is KSU points scored & opponent's DEFENSIVE rank.
the data point at the other end of the line is KSU's points given up & opponent's OFFENSIVE rank.

for example, the data point labeled "Oklahoma State" indicates KSU scored 48 points vs the #98 defense, and the other end of the line indicates KSU gave up 14 points to the #81 offense.



thoughts:

-KSU's best offensive performance: 31 vs #23 Oklahoma def
-KSU's best defensive performance: 20 vs #6 Auburn off

-both offense and defense probably had their worst day vs Iowa State

-with the exception of Texas, every single team's offense is ranked higher than its defense

Kansas State Football / When was the last time

« on: November 14, 2014, 11:54:33 AM »

K-State upset anybody? and by upset i don't mean beat a team ranked higher, or beat a team that was favored. i mean, when was the last time K-State beat a team where at the end of the season you could say "that team was better than K-State"?
a lot of talk lately about how Snyder beats teams worse than his, and loses to teams better than his.

2011 Baylor comes to mind. both teams finished 10-3. Baylor ended up #12/13, KSU ended up #15/16, so that's pretty close i guess.
