These were both Airbus planes, their mating ritual is far less violent than the Boeing molting display used to attract a mate.

Not great, Bob!

Yeah, guys, you shouldn't touch tips unless the other guy wants to too. If you are both okay with touching tips then it is fine, but in private only please.

Well, it’s not good...

Sedona is a stunningly beautiful chunk of this planet with a very odd year-round population. It’s a bunch of I shove crystals up my ass to realign my chakra(shit-kra?) and die-hard Christian nationalist MAGAs. I know I’m generalizing here but I’m not far off. I promise. The there are two constants between the two…

I’ve heard this thing called ‘capitalism’ is supposed to be very good at solving problems! Maybe it could fix our affordable housing cris...

Arizonan here, it’s amazing how short sighted our state senators and reps are, they have a slight majority and want to own the libs Florida-style. Between the MAGA idiots who’ve lost lawsuit after lawsuit regarding the 2020 and 2022 elections and the god-awful state supreme court that nullifies voter-approved…

Some comedian made a joke comparing airline security to casino security, paraphrasing: “The airport can’t find a gun in your luggage. The casino catches you doing math in your head.”

LOL - we did similar on the hall phone in my dorm in the late ‘80s. I can’t remember the details, but somebody figured out how to get it to pass long-distance calls for free, and EVERYWHERE was a long-distance call from the ends-of-the-Earth school I went to. The easternmost university in the US - University of Maine…

That would be after the 2600Hz "Captain Crunch whistle", and before unlimited long distance became the norm. When you look at the coding standards for slot machines,  compared to voting machines or gas pumps,  you see who really cares about  security.  

It’s typically the way fraudsters get caught. They get away with something once and assume it will keep working. The longer it works, the more they push it until you get situations like this one.

Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered.  You got greedy, Dawn.

WTF, these idiots had a built in cheat code on a gas pump? That someone took advantage and was found out by greed is unsurprising,  that such a blatant coding error got through is.

I’d like to say that I wouldn’t, but I would.

I’m curious about the card. Was it just a rewards card like Ralphs or something, or was it also a credit/rewards card? Their Risk acceptance is probably like 5K$ every six months or so, maybe more. Had she just used it normally, a couple hundred over 6 months would have probably went undiscovered and at least a slap on…

Tale as old as time: get greedy - get caught.

The story referenced is, but Hank Green’s video where he found it is from 2 or 3 days ago. 

Ehm, then why is every news article currently talking about the impending collapse of society due to declining birth rates all across the globe?

It’s sad how many people that will be affected by this, and soon, either don’t care, or even worse, think it’s made up.
