This new annual thread has been carved out of the previous thread in an effort to reduce the number of megathreads on the AC forum. For those interested previous versions are the original 2004 - 2014 thread , 2015 edition, 2016 edition and 2017 edition
The original thread started by accident but quickly became a popular place to come and discuss off topic things such as hockey, new movies, or almost anything that wouldn't fit into existing AC forum threads. More Air Canada or Aeroplan topics such as flight feedback, in-flight services issues or mileage earning/redemption are all topics that should go into existing AC forum threads so others can benefit from this information. Topics about hotels or airlines and/or their loyalty programs should be posted elsewhere on FT as should topics better suited to other forums such as Travel Products for questions about luggage or Travel Photography for discussion about cameras.
While the conversation is more relaxed as it would be in a lounge that doesn't mean however that the FT rules don't apply here as they definitely do so please refrain from controversial topics such as politics or religion, avoid profanities and treat other lounge patrons with the same respect you expect.

My company issued MBP had both the "s" and "7" keys affected -- which is a bummer, because my password uses both characters (and other characters too, of course)
Just make an appointment at the genius bar -- I went yesterday ... turns out after removing the keycap and doing a deep clean, the s key was still sticky, so the laptop is getting shipped off to get the entire keyboard replaced for free

oh haha that sucks, what i ended up resorting to was hooking up the macbook to a wired keyboard .... or if i'm travelling, to bring the wireless apple keyboard (the one that uses the lightning cable to charge). Hopefully your trip isn't too long, or you can get a wireless keyboard and get it reimbursed or something ahahaha

My hope is that this is a drawn out series that completely exhausts both teams so that the winner gets knocked out quickly in the next round. Looks like this game was a good start. Both teams used a bunch of pitchers.

A partially filled mini of toothpaste just tripped me up at AMS airport security. It was in my laptop bag.
Therefore it's been in my laptop bag for months, through numerous security checkpoints on numerous continents, including AMS. And it's never been an issue.
Not to mention I have an identical (but fuller) tube in my primary carry on that didn't set off the scanner.
