The advantage to CLEAR is that you can sign up right on the spot with an ID. Precheck requires making an appointment and having extra documents on hand. While that’s not a deal breaker, it’s still a series of steps that make it really easy to skip, especially if you don’t have a very flexible job schedule.

Now, instead of having to highjack a plane, the typical American terrorist (aka public shooter) can easily attack the giant, roped in crowd that is reliably available at every major airport before any measurable security is in place. Look up the Chicago serial stow away to see just how effective our security theater…

Igot it free through work and quickly learned it's mostly garbage. I suppose I save maybe 5-10 minutes at some airports, but there's been a few where I skipped the clear line because it was going slower...

Guns were caught before 9/11 too. The search for guns has nothing to do with making me dump out my water bottle, take off my shoes, and remove electronics from my bag. That's just security theater.

Certainly. There are a lot of zip codes where I basically described a $500k “starter house” once you swap the garage door for a regular door. When I was living near Seattle, the dirt under it would go for $200k. 

I knew I was forgetting something. Full plumbing included too.

What’s Your Perfect $100,000 Garage?

It was probably unintentional, but I thought the development of Blonsky was one of the best parts of the film. I also thought that Hulk looked 100 times better than the current MCU Hulk. 

I wonder how soon before Fox exclusively uses the last slide video for their “reporting” on this...

The little I confidently know about crypto in general, makes it just seem like it is a legal scam/pyramid scheme. So they may have well been involved in shady stuff, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it was illegal shady business, just the usual gray market corporate accounting that can be done by the companies paying…

It’s all of the benefits of work from home, except you still have to drive there and then pay your employer for it. The sad part is, $3k a month could be a pretty competitive rent in that area...

*All funds to be used in the prison commissary, which is (probably) funded by tax dollars.

It’s a bit odd that the Titan is so unreliable when I’ve read mostly good things about the reliability of the QX80/Armada twins. I figured those would all use the same stuff under the hood. 

sounds like she went a bit...postal

If there were billions available to be stolen, there is a good chance that some American companies had money there and the pull get the FBI involved since the crimes still “took place” in America.

Are there seminars at DOT conferences on how to safely prep the road after a spill?

I’m a 90s kid and remember these being pretty cool for what they were, but the Japanese tuner market of the era overshadowed them so badly that it’s hard to imagine these having any real following. I’m sure there are a few dozen who love them, but almost anyone nostalgic for this era probably has a list of cars ahead…

I’ve seen some rural schools that are like that in different states. Usually, the road is a 55 or higher, the school is one of the only buildings nearby, it is set way back from the highway, and there is a really wide shoulder that cars use for pick up lines and merging back onto the roadway.

I think many cars of that era would qualify and be nominated today. Being a young’n, they all seem special to me, but I’ve heard from many boomers that actually experienced those cars who criticize them for being so expensive now compared to how commonplace/disposable they once were.
