Yep. We never got to the second kid point though.

“I’m sorry, ma’am. You can’t hold your 10 year old in your lap for this flight. You’ll need to buy her a ticket.”

How about ‘small and crunchy’?

We understood this with the small and crunchy offspring.

It makes me wonder if this is what they’re teaching ‘journalism’ students as a normal practice, or whether they’re taking lessons from all that sidebar clickbait you see with titles like “Click here to find how to end diabetes forever!” and “One quick trick to erase your debt!”

Or Detroit.

Well, after Gawker closed down, where are we supposed to get our daily lists of what to be properly OUTRAGED about?

Well, I’m losing sleep staying up playing this game, so it must be ‘good enough’ for now, lol.

The aliens don’t remind me of the ones in ME1-3 though. The Asari and Salarians don’t ‘feel’ right, if that makes any sense. You don’t get the impression that the Salarians are running on a jacked-up clock speed, (“We do things faster because we only live about 40 years” as it was explained in ME2, I think...) and…

Son got the Honda CR-V he ‘helped’ me pick out when he was 4, 12 years previously. He learned to drive in that car - we’d spend hours going around the subdivision with him working on control and maneuvering. (And doing 3-point turns. ENDLESS numbers of 3-point turns.)

I think towards the end, the last couple of episodes it was starting to get there.

“The problem here is the Kim seems to be genuinely crazy and may not be a rational actor.”

As you say, the trouble arises when you get some shithole (or shitlord) with nukes who doesn’t give a damn about their country’s survival. And from all evidence, NK’s leadership doesn’t.

I don’t know - I think it should have been Subby McSubface.

And excellent (for 2004) computer graphics.

Huh. that’s disappointing. I thought it’d be...

The problem is that right now it’s an absolutely perfect system... on paper.

Right. You try some of the stations outside the NE corridor. They may have been cutting-edge in the 40s, but that was then. The two I used to use needed maintenance badly.

Oh, we do have a massive amount of rail. But any more it’s freight that’s the primary users, not passengers. And the cost of rail travel is significantly higher than air travel. (Freight’s better, anyway. It doesn’t bitch about being late, heat, cold, empty club car inventories or full toilet holding tanks.)
