Does the restaurant have a public bathroom?

Given the prevalence of metals recycling, I would be surprised if a production line didn’t collect aluminum trimmings for reuse. The fact that Apple is making sure the scraps go back into their products is unremarkable.

I’m just going to leave this here.

I’d like to see some data on this trope. Do we have confirmed cases, or are guys assuming the women’s room has a table when in reality neither does (which is also a problem that should be fixed)?

UPS Ground works best for this. On a week-long trip, you’ll get just a few hours of Quality Family Time™ before you pack the return shipment.

Use layovers as an opportunity to expend some of that pent-up energy. Riding the moving walkways from one end of the terminal to the other can be an adventure in itself for younger kids (DEN is great for this), and you might come across an empty gate area where they can run around or watch the planes take off without…

Our toddler loved his flip phone until he managed to snap it in half. It’s a good idea to put it in Airplane Mode since they can still call 911 without a plan or SIM card.

You can bring an empty bottle of any size, though.

Or just dump out your reusable water bottle before you go through security and refill it after. (btw does the TSA Suspicious Substances trash can get special treatment or do they just dump all of the bomb making supplies in the regular garbage?)

The idea is to use something that hasn't left prints all over the house.

I agree, there’s no warning that a specific update is going to significantly change the interface unless you closely follow tech blogs and release notes. You should expect to dedicate some time to learning and configuration when you switch to a new device or software, but you shouldn’t have to do this unexpectedly in…

Not sure if it comes with a free Blizzard, but there’s a separate DQ Texas app that seems to have its own rewards program.

What about those cutoff denim short shorts with the pocket linings hanging out the bottom? I always thought they looked quite substantial but it could just be an optical illusion.

If it’s a simple 2-lane and I have the right-of-way, I often start walking before the second lane is stopped. Drivers usually get the hint when they see that you’re already in the crosswalk and you’ve still got a few feet of safety if they don’t.

yes but only ironically

Recommend putting them in the seat back pocket along with a copy of Roadmall and a magazine about exciting new Uber destinations.

I wonder if she was confused about payment authorization? Gas stations often authorize a $50 or $100 charge when you scan the card, just to make sure that the transaction will go through, but the final bill will only be for the amount you actually spend. Restaurants do something similar to leave room for a tip.

The linked article assumes that nitrogen compounds in urine are harmless to sea life because “they are important for the growth of organisms that inhabit the oceans” and “it would only help grow bacteria already present, not add new bacteria to the ocean.” In fact this is exactly why even treated sewage can cause…

We’re using Emirates’ Dubai Connect for our trip to Ethiopia this fall. They offer free hotel, shuttle, meals and visa processing for 8-24 hour layovers, with the caveat that there can’t be a shorter option available. This is probably the only part of the trip where we’ll be in “tourist mode” and it’s great to have…

I cannot tell you how many Portland establishments—even so called “dive bars”!—insist on serving their fries with fancy, artisanal, too-tomato-y ketchup . . .
