I wouldn’t stress out over skipping the Organic anything. Organic food is just another scheme by rich fucks to food-shame the poors.

Every time I’ve had weather disruptions on AA they’ve managed to at least offer to get me home with a slight delay.  Though it definitely doesn’t hurt having status with American.

I fly american as much as possible. The only time I’ve ever had an incident with them was in BIS where Allegiant couldn’t shit or get off the pot about bumping people from a flight while my inbound plane had to sit on the ramp. I had a tight connection to make at DFW so I was getting antsy about the additional time…

Air Canada loves to keep their shit parked at the gate too even if that gate is dedicated to them. I’ve sat on the ramp for 45 minutes while Air Canada found someone to move an aircraft off their only gate at DFW. I’m like “c’mon guys, you knew this flight from YYZ was coming, couldn’t you have tugged the aircraft…

It doesn’t matter.  All the shops and restaurants inside the airport are usually run by just one or two companies.  Delaware North runs the concessions for the Austin Airport among others.

They’re not locals. They’re franchises of local businesses owned and operated by Delaware North. All the eateries in ABIA are run by Delaware North.

Not many airports have much outside the secure zone. Atlanta and MSP are the only two that come to mind that have a lot of dining options in the non-secure area. I can’t imagine DFW’s cramped hallways in the pre-9/11 terminals being friendly to many visitors (the quarters are already lousy if you’re a traveler). You…

In the United States they changed the rules on duty free. Duty Free shops are now open for anyone traveling to/from/through that airport even if it’s only a domestic itinerary. You’re still bound by the US Customs limits for duty free purchases, but I can go over to the DFW duty Free shop every time I return and buy…

It wasn’t so bad for me when 8' celings were the norm in residential construction. I could replace the battery myself without a ladder. However now that 10' is the standard I’d rather die in a fire than have those bastards go on chirping at ass o’clock in the goddamn morning.

Great review on this new generation of Gold Wing. The last review I ever watched was RCR doing one and I remember him commenting on how terrifyingly fast the Gold Wing is in spite of the creature comforts and how stupid huge it is.

I couldn’t afford to go to frickin’ Evil medical school.

The incumbent cab companies still haven’t gotten their shit together that led to the rise of Uber in the first place. You live out in the ‘burbs but want to go to the city for a night out? You call the cab company and they’re like “Well, we’ll try to get someone to you, but don’t bet on it.” Meanwhile with Uber/Lyft I…

My roommate and I are in a perpetual war with shit drivers running over our sprinkler heads. We’ve resigned to just relocating the heads as far away from the curb as we can get away with. We’ve even put out reflector delineators to keep people from running them over. I said “the dickheads keep this shit up I say we…

Only reason they didn’t see the rock before it disappeared is because they were preoccupied with texting their bff Jill. Knowing that shit can disappear below the passenger window sill is part of driving a larger vehicle.  Though I guess some of us never developed object permanence as babies.

First of all, slow clap to the magnificent person that stuck googly-eyes on that rock before the news crew showed up.

I wish smoke detector manufacturers would fuck-off on the batteries and just have them direct wire to AC with a super-capacitor instead. When the 9V battery gets the teensiest bit low that motherfucker insists on chirping at you in the middle of the night. Late enough that you’d literally rather die in a fire than…

Oh God, the software renderer in that game is so awful.  I still have this game on disc somewhere, but I had a 3D Accelerator which looked way better.

Slower traffic; keep right. Why do you insist that people wanting to go faster than you in the left lane is a personal affront?

To put things into perspective, the B-17 was first proposed in 1934 and used throughout World War II. By 1941 inter-continental strategic bombers like the B-36 were already hitting the drawing board.

EMALS alleged function is that it can vary the force applied to the airframe so it can launch aircraft with a lower Gross weight. Particularly Unmanned aircraft which weigh less due to lack of cockpit and life support systems. Current steam systems pretty much tear up any unmanned aircraft that they try to launch.…
