I honestly don’t stress out about the cleanliness of flights. Call me crazy, but all this “kill all germs” mentality has given us weak ass immune systems. That being said, there are a couple things I typically do. On long haul flights, you tend to get a wetnap of some sort before the meal service. I use that to wipe…

Because I can’t be bothered to read 400+ comments, I’ll slide two in here, because they’re my personal favorites and I’ve yet to meet someone who doesn’t like/appreciate the following (until now, I’m sure).

One of the great things about Discover Student Loans is that, if you want to pay extra towards the principle, you can select the individual loan you want to pay toward or ask it to spread it around evenly. I’ve utilized it once before and will be doing so more this year for sure. 

There’s no need for a jacket. Gloves, yeah... but jacket, no. It’s sunny, it might not be windy and, surprise, surprise, your body will keep your core warm. It’s better than sweating your ass off in a jacket.

This is the thing that pains me the most: point to a Dem...any Dem. Doesn’t matter who, especially these days. That Dem has chosen at least one simply moronic point to unwaveringly stand by, mostly to the detriment not only of the person in question, but to any of the moderate Dems left standing. Even if it turned out…

The thing I notice most (I rent cars in Germany on an average weekly basis) is that you rarely end up with a base model vehicle. It seems that European rental car companies have some kind of partnership with European auto manufacturers to utilize the Rental Car agencies as some kind of marketing tool. So instead of…

The second time I rented a car in Europe, it was a Peugeot wagon - the first time I ever drove a Peugeot. I was working on learning German before moving there and was picking up the car in Munich to drive down to Northern Italy for work. I had made the same trip a year before in a BMW 1-Series diesel, so I knew the…

It’s not usually much of an issue for shorter people, but for taller people it is. Additionally, depending on the tray table type and position, tablets and laptop screens often end up in the gap where the tray table sits. If you recline with complete abandon and the person behind you is using one of those, it’s…

It is quite hit and miss, but if you’re an aisle sitter like myself, the times when it’s possible are great. Also, if you’re a window seat person, check your armrest as well. It’s less likely it can be rotated up, but if you’re a sleeper, it’s nice to have a bit more space to move closer to the wall. Keep in mind,…

I love your screen name....It is decided

Snacks! Forgot snacks...

So I’m a long-flight pro by now and have two long flights coming up on Saturday. Here’s how I plan on managing it:

Granted, I’ve not often been parked like the top image, but there are a few things I’ve experienced. First, if you’re in traffic in the far left lane on the autobahn during a traffic jam, most people start to drift to the left, but it’s not an immediate thing. Most of the time, I’m keeping my eyes on the traffic in…

Holy shit...you can tell exactly when the guy is out. Watch his breathing change from smooth to very choppy...wow

Holy Fuck! That Sentinal Swarm.....pretty sure I just shit my pants enough for that guy and everyone else who watches this.

While I totally don’t agree with how Disney’s handled this (especially since it was previously addressed), it’s the best bet for everyone involved to keep Gunn’s script, at least in the same way they kept Edgar Wright’s stuff largely in tact for Ant-man. For a director, though, why not go with Sean Gunn? He’s worked…

How did you track back to your origin planet? All the names I made were wiped with Next so I’m no long sure where I started from. And the base that I had there was also wiped, so I can’t just port there like I used to.... :(

I didn’t have any special connection to Sense8 but I enjoyed it for what it was and, in a way, lament it for what it could have been. Plagued by poor pacing in the first season and uneven pacing in the second, I feel like the finale brought forth some much needed speed in the transaction, for better or worse. I also…

“But, Narrator,” I can hear you asking, “why is it that when I drive, I see so many wind turbines not turning?” Well, that’s an easy and multi-part answer, my dear questioner. Recall the gearbox we discussed. Well, that’s not a variable speed gearbox, so the generator in a turbine can only effectively generate…

That level of temporary non-existence, for me, extends from the moment I leave my house to the moment I arrive wherever it is I’m going. As you mentioned, people watching is one of the main attractions in airports and, since no one expects you to talk to them, you can add your own soundtrack! Then, you get in the…
