Depends on the airport. I’ve put shoes in the bin and not in a bin. And don’t get me started on which electronics need to come out of the bag.

Yes. I may be echoing other comments, but not every exercise is useful for everyone. Some of these are pretty worthless, but some are useful for specific people training for a specific thing (like some of the jumps). Always keep in mind your level and your goals. Are you a professional athlete or an elderly person…

Ride height. End of list.

How to Recognize When Your Smart Speaker Is Eavesdropping

Very nice. If they didn’t explicitly tell you not to, you’re fine. Places that don’t want you to photograph these days will make a point of telling you so.

I feel like you’re arguing against something no one here is saying.

Like I said, most don’t. And phones have made it all but unenforceable.

“I’ve seen AT-ST’s take out squadrons of trained soldiers ...”

Yeah. I’m on the same page.  More expensive, but not a “luxury” booking.

100% correct— The width is no different. Still a tight squeeze.

I usually see the bill just put on the table instead of handing it to someone specific these days.

That’s simply not how the law works. It’s privately owned, ergo it’s private property. There’s no gray area there. And property owners can legally prohibit photography on their premises. Not saying they should, and most places like restaurants don’t, but they very definitely can.

As a math guy, I suppose the correct assessment is not that their model is flawed, but that I’m optimizing for different variables. I treat “time spent parking” like air resistance in a high school physics problem. I know it’s there, but it’s an unnecessary complication for what we’re doing, and effectively negligible…

I don’t disagree, but in the reviewer’s defense it depends on the usage. Editorial has different rules on releases than commercial. And it can matter if the person is the subject of the photo or just happens to be in the background.

Totally agree. I liked it too, although I’ll admit my first thoughts were:

Guess I don’t fit their model, then. I park away from the building, preferring a spot with several empty spots on either side. It’s marginally more secure (fewer places to hide), it’s safer (fewer cars and pedestrians to run into), and it’s easier to get out b/c less traffic.

Hey Bethesda: Take your time. No rush.

No.

Put more to the point: Don’t use informal communication in settings where that’s not appropriate.

A main prioritization factor for me is if I’m in the middle of a pipeline and someone else is waiting on my part before they can do their part. That tends to bump something into the “important/urgent” quadrant for me.
