Two things to do about curling bacon:

Oh, OSH, how we’ll miss you. :(

Just another system to which hackers will gain access and send disturbing messages to the masses.

I can’t listen to this right now, but thanks for this Nick. I’m curious and interested, and now I know something I did not before.

Who?

“Busy, busy, busy...”

Stars for Sergeant Hulka.

This is what I do, too. So far, Mexico, Australia, Hong Kong, and counting.

Break your tunnel vision. You’ll see something that you just can’t unsee, and you need to sort that out, later, but now, break your tunnel vision and take in the scene. Shake your head, deliberately turn around, look at something far away, whatever.

I was one of these guys, and didn’t notice it for about 4 months. I would startle awake about every 45 minutes, which isn’t enough continuous sleep for most people and definitely not for me. For four months I did this, getting more and more irritable, angry at stupid things, and also, yeah, there was almost none of…

Or Thermos. I bought my kid a steel lunchbox that looked like the stuff I had used, and was dismayed to find that the steel used is about half as thick as the stuff they used in my youth. It was so flimsy! The ones I used to have were like tanks. You could almost stand on them (indeed, several of my friends tried this…

Same issue but for us it’s smoothies. I’m the only one who ever makes smoothies, and I use bananas in them, but my wife is the only one that eats bananas fresh. I throw away six or seven frozen, black, black, BLACK bananas every few months, and we still have enough stock to make smoothies every week.

I don’t know about anyone else, but in the SF Bay Area, not a rural backwater burg, the local PO is blisteringly incompetent to deliver mail and packages to my address without first putting it elsewhere (sometimes for as long as 6 months!). And I’ve had a package that was clearly marked with the correct postage go to…

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.

Agreed. This is fantastic journalism, and the kind of thing I want to read. Please keep up the good work.

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!
