It’s about a half-hour from the east side of Henderson to the strip - so yes.

I’m a Trekkie, and B5 is great. Indeed, it’s better than some Star Trek properties.

My favorite first meetup place: the cafe in a nearby bookstore.

The “...stone knives and bearskins” quote, from the ST:TOS episode “The City On The Edge of Forever”. In its original glory, it was “I am endeavoring, ma’am, to construct a mnemonic memory circuit using stone knives and bearskins”. I usually append the “stone knives and bearskins” part onto something else, no doubt…

I just bench press my daughter.

That’s also true for Iceland, another wonderful destination.

A John Deere riding lawn mower. Made in the USA, for “quality”.

Do the same for checked baggage. A few years ago my wife and I were at ORD about to board a flight to IST - only to find out that Turkish Airlines doesn’t accept “oversize” or “overweight” baggage - at all. No, there’s no “overweight charge” - they just leave it. Luckily, our bags passed muster.

You guys all drive ‘97 - ‘01 Camrys, eh? J/K but that dashboard is a blast from the past for me.

You mean Everquest Online Adventures, right? Only a few times. I did find it spoonfed compared to the original EQ; in fact, much more like EQII. Was it possible to pull-split in EOA? I don’t think so, and I think that’s what did it for me. I played EQ from launch to about 2011. I was on Povar, Nameless and eventually…

I’m good at hiking, canoeing and wilderness camping. Many of my vacations involve at least two of these things; sometimes all three!

 He’s dual-boxing.

EQ didn’t shut down - it’s very much still alive and still plays on PCs, where good games go to die. The PS2 game you played is generally called EOA (its actual name was “Everquest Online Adventures”) and was very limited compared to EQ. It was a very different game than EQ in that it was very spoonfed; EQ was a very…

Apparently you haven’t flown domestic first class, because lay-flat seating and showers aren’t part of that (in my experience, not even on long routes like JFK-LAX). Showers are available in almost every big airport, I think. (I’ve taken showers in LAX and ORD recently). If you fly first-class to Europe those things…

Yes, the bankruptcy of Air Canada really screwed air fare within and to/from Canada. And it was what....in the 90s? A long time ago, for sure. I can fly to Hawaii for about as much as to Toronto (and Toronto is only a founr-hour drive).

Exercise is the key for me, too. Back in the “good” old days, I’d get up as late as possible and dash off to work in hopes of not being late. Today I do about half of my total workout, including lifting and running or walking, before I leave for work. It makes a huge difference - even on days, like today, when the…

Oh, I don’t really know exactly where I was, but I was working as a development manager for a 300-or-so-employee software/data services firm, and my phone was what is today called a “feature phone”; in other words, a “dumb phone”.

In the movie “Blade Runner” Pris (Daryl Hannah) does this to Decker, and nearly pops his head off of his shoulders. She isn’t Canadian. ;)

Just don’t try to use these for international postage - they won’t work, and your letter or package will be returned. International postal treaties requier that stamps have an actual monetary denomination on them.

In fact, exactly one overwrite is good enough, and has been for quite a while. The technology that allowed users to truly recover overwritten files hasn’t been used in hard drives in a very long time.
