@aaronpk Ugh. I spent 45 wks/yr in hotels for 21 years until it came to a screeching halt in 2/20. I cannot for the life of me figure out how I lived like that.

That is a long time. That's basically what I did in 2017-2019 reaching a ridiculous peak in 2019. I told myself I was going to plan smarter travel in 2020 and not do that again but that problem clearly took care of itself.

@aaronpk Are you already aware of the promo they have going for picking back up last year’s status if you missed out? In case useful it’s something like fly 10k through April to get Gold back (I only know because I’m in this bucket!)

Yeah, that's what kicked off this whole afternoon of planning. I don't have anything planned until March and no way to hit 20K by then unless I spend $1200 for a personal trip to Copenhagen. I'm already Gold status this year, so I'm just giving up 75K.

I am reviewing all my 2019 flights to try to remember why I told myself I didn't want to go back to that much travel anymore.

I've been enjoying my Alaska Gold 75K/oneworld Emerald status during 2021 and 2022, but maybe it's time to just let it go. 😥

I just made a list of all my expected flights in 2023 and I am just *barely* going to hit @AlaskaAir MVP Gold status (40K) by the very end of the year.

How did I fly so much in 2019?? I hit Gold 75K status by April in 2019! 🤯

I own an Apple TV.

I own not a single other Apple device. Not one.

Every time I start the Apple TV I get this prompt now.

@Apple what do you expect me to do about this?

I just had a similar experience trying to make a new account to submit a podcast. Apple fully expects you to have an iPhone or Mac signed in to the same account that you can use to accept T

@aaronpk I was thinking y’all went hardcore with a balsa wood model 🙈🙈. But hey it looks super close to the model that’s always a plus 😁

Don't tempt me! I might have to build one at some point, or maybe a 3D printed model

✨ It's happening! ✨

This is the year we are finally building the triplex! It only took 4 years of planning and permitting, but construction is finally under way!

Follow along on YouTube for the details! We just started a weekly podcast to document the process!

@aaronpk Fair enough - that is a strange requirement.

Probably some sort of anti-spam countermeasure, since it's just another barrier to spammers.

@aaronpk I find this curious, as I have an AppleID which has no payment method, and no phone number. I buy things in the App Store using money from gift cards.

Yeah it only required I add a payment method when I went to go submit a podcast, but otherwise the account didn't need a payment method in it.

@aaronpk @denicmarko It’s worse than that static snapshot (curious how you found it).

See: https://tantek.com/2011/238/b1/many-ways-slice-url-name-pieces#ud

And there’s ~12 years of research & updates pending since.

When I want to find this post I search "tantek url parts" and that was the top result!
