Made this post before that was known.

You do, but this isn't uncommon. Off the top of my head, it's the same water-approach into JFK, LaGuardia, Tokyo, Osaka, Hong Kong, and of course most other island airports.

More often, its things you can't see that make an airport difficult for pilots (San Diego, often having amazing weather, is generally well-liked by pilots despite the proximity of some buildings).

I know plenty of outstanding airline pilots. I also know quite a few shitty ones whose airplanes I'd refuse to board.

Honestly. It's like, would it have been more credible had this Samsung exec written down his experience and snail-mailed it?

There are no buildings to clear on approach to PHX. They're all parallel to the approach path (even on the northernmost runway).

I'm sure economics dictated the decision to put SFO there, but from a physical standpoint, water is sort of more forgiving than land.

Wholly agreed! LA has a large total number of bros for no better reason than it has a large total number of people. Bros, as a percentage of the population though, make up a small amount and are mostly confined to 28th St/Figueroa, Westwood, the South Bay, and pockets of Santa Monica and Venice.

Well, bros come in different flavors. You've got your midwest, popped Abercrombie collar bros, you've got your well-dressed (khaki+blazer+repp tie) Southern/East Coast preppy bros, you've got your fratty neon tanks/neon sunglasses bros, and you've got the Inland Empire raised truck/Famous Star bros.

Agreed. The only exceptions might be Hermosa/Manhattan beach which gets a lot of the post-college greeks still intent on wearing neon and holding costume-themed bar crawls/day drinks into their early thirties. (Not judging... why be in a hurry to grow up? If you can keep the college thing going outside of college,…

Oh, that sounds even worse! I thought you meant "fall asleep" in the same way I meant "fall asleep" now: pass out, but zero recovery is had by the brain and body... so you wake up feeling as though you'd never been asleep at all (and because you're less drunk, your brain's more cognizant of how exhausted you are), and…

Really? Could that be some kind of allergy? ONE glass makes it seem like something else is going on here...

That already happens!

That part isn't endemic to drinking after 28. If anything, the after 28 y/o has a better handle on this because they've been there many-a-time and made many-a-mistake.

No, it just hasn't hit you yet. I've wowed people with my alcohol drinking ability — occasionally to the point of worry — and was like you. I can still hold it like a boss, but I feel it the next day. Fuck do I feel it.

I do have a couple at lunch with coworkers, but it's never much fun. Who wants to just get sort of buzzed? Then you have to sit back down and work and you really just don't want to.

Yes, nothing ruins well-laid evening plans like a too successful day drink. Damn you, July 4th!

I'm a scotch-o (I assume that's the scotch version of wine-o?) myself, but I read somewhere that clear colored alcohols are much better in the hangover mitigation department than colored ones for the same reasons mentioned in the article.

Sorry, 28 y/o here who's begun experiencing these adult hangovers over the past year. I've recently gotten into the best shape of my life since college and, yet, I've had the worst hangovers ever in the past few months.
