Tell me more... I’m like, ten days out from an hours-long layover there... not long enough to leave, but long enough to enjoy something airside.

“For no particular reason....” Oh, you gals and guys are so cute with your words. Nothing to do with parent company woes.... Wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more, squire!

Brian Regan has a hilarious bit on this topic. Worth Googling “Brian Regan hospital” if you’re a fan of comedy.

Maybe it’s the beer talkin’ but that Pan America is giving me some serious Cyclone vibes. If only it came with a riding suit around which the bike could reconfigure to become power armor, and one of my childhood dreams would be realized.

If you buy more space in economy (i.e. a second seat), then you’re flagged because who does that? Or worse, you could end up having the experience that Kevin Smith had when he decided to forgo his usual double-seat-for-comfort in order to fly home early.

Oh man, this is what I was hoping for. I am too old for “going out with friends” and am now firmly in the camp of “drinking down the collection.” So I was really hoping more for... permission to start drinking so that I could - *ahem* - clean the place up a bit. Yeah!

Clearly not if you only get drinks twice in 6 hours...

Where the hell do you buy ice cream packaged like cream cheese?

This is the classic “legal privacy expectation versus ethical privacy trust” issue. I try to not get strangers in pictures I take at public events, or at least not their faces. Sometimes I don’t have much choice, if it’s a particularly popular location or event, but I always try. I don’t even think about whether or…

I realize that this is more about washing in the kitchen, but we could just install one of these over the kitchen door, too, and it could trigger when the food came out...

Or, more commonly in my experience, they do the ol’ splash-n-dash for, I dunno, the appearance of washing to be socially acceptable? I don’t get that. Truly.

Right? I was shocked - SHOCKED - to find that nobody had posted even the line(s) yet.

You forgot to add, “... and then complain all over social media how horrible it is to fly these days.”

“Nothin’ but the best!”

We have been joking for almost two decades now about how, eventually, no air passenger will be allowed to bring clothing on the plane, yet the mechanism does actually appear to be moving towards that endpoint.

Security Theater, ladies and gentlemen, Security Theater! They’re here all week.

Agreed! That’s a much more reasonable thing for me and my family, and our watching habits. I joined the Cinemark Movie Club, since it’s like dipping your toes in the water, and is really just discounts, but the AMC thing will be a good move for competition.

This is what closed the tab for me.

Oh, and also, there’s a picture of one of their editors wearing different sunscreen types under the header “Consider UPF Clothing” - that’s roughly what your application should look like (obviously, on a lighter-skinned individual).

I found The Wirecutter’s review of sunscreens to be helpful, especially how much to apply. I was doing it wrong for years. But I still managed to avoid any major burns for the past 20, so I guess I’m doing better than some.
