Yes, the title misspelling was an intentional attempt at punnery.
It’s a compulsion, I’m sorry.
I might have advised
Adam R.
not to try to plan flights 4 years in advance, if asked. But he
didn’t ask, and so he discovered this. I’ll let Adam explain.
“I was looking at flights to a certain town in eastern Western Australia.
(I’m planning ahead for the July 2028 solar eclipse.) A
popular travel website informed me that this evening
flight across the border from Northern Territory was an
overnight flight. Yes, the time zones in Australia are
weird, with a 90-minute difference between WA and NT, but
a westbound flight that lands before it takes off should
not be an unexpected edge case. ”

Our old friend
Extra Baggage
found us a real error’d from Jet Blue. It’s
not as funny as a $900 sandwich but it’s a big brand we can point fingers at.
Says Extra B. “I was trying to get my stuff from Place A to Place B,
along with myself. Just making sure that everything checks
out — er. Well, JetBlue’s rules for baggage are quite technical.
Anyway, one would expect this to be a rather common client-side
rendering issue, however none of the other 33 rules had any issues, so I’m unsure.
”
Extra B. also had a private gripe about the captcha system. I hear you, E. Perhaps
one of the other regular commenters has a suggestion about how to avoid them.

“Amtrak seems to have problems with subtraction, but
only on the departure side. Somehow the train caught up
two hours in 8 minutes?” I am certainly confused.

“In case you ever wanted to know the
London / Tower Hill / Tower Gateway Station (Stop TE) sign’s Class C network address.”
says old faithful

Seems TFL thinks they’re keeping the
signs secure by masking their addresses.
