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 , 2017 edition, 2018 edition, 2019 edition, 2020 edition and 2021 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. Air Canada or Aeroplan topics such as flight feedback, in-flight services issues, status 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, destinations, in-flight travel tech. or anything best discussed elsewhere on FT may be relocated to that forum as this thread isn't meant to import travel topics to this forum that are better discussed on other forums. FT is an amazingly diverse and large community so members are encouraged to seek out all of its resources.
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.

Any of you fine folks have access to Arsenal home tickets or have friends in the UK who do ? I already know the convoluted method of being a club member to get access but since a majority are season tix, this is more of hail mary request

Day 2: 14 minutes
Though I'm not sure what we're timing. That's from opening the instructions to getting the second star.
I fell asleep last night and didn't try last years. Not sure I will. There's enough this year

Maybe a new Earn Your Wings status ranking based on total number of stars divided by total time? A million lines of code designation?
The possibilities for honour and humiliation are endless.

Coming up with good names is the hardest part of computer science.
And apparently joining the herd.
The leading contender right now is KoBenji, a cross between Kobe and Benji (the new herd member).
Thoughts?

This whole thing sounds like an absolutely diabolical way to outsource development for free.
I'm sure that our soon-to-be overlords at Skynet will be very pleased with your hard work.
