Sarcasm indicator. Don’t miss the sarcasm indicator...

The new version is much lighter when you take the cover off. That’s a big plus in my book.

Can we please, please, please make these rules mandatory study for any tourist?

This is why we revoked YouTube privileges from our kids. There’s no way to separate the excellent and good content from the dreck. Now, I watched a fair bit of dreck on TV growing up, but it wasn’t at the level of “breakup tips from someone who knows nothing of relationships and is making videos purely for the purpose…

This.

Bonus points for Office Space reference.

“Chucklefuckery.” What a great portmanteu...

Fair dinkum.

It’s the same on planes, because apparently reading a number and a letter on a piece of paper and matching those to a sign is really hard... ;)

I dislike high online pre-booking fees as much as anyone. They seem a bit vulgar.

How? I can still go to the movies on a whim and get a ticket. I just get my seat at the box office instead of when I go inside.

Try the provided NASA spinoff link again. A million dollars spent on space exploration provides multiple millions in economic and research benefit.

• The money spent on space exploration is a pittance compared to spending on social welfare, education, health, not to mention various militaries. You could shut down all space exploration tomorrow and not make a measurable difference in the rest of it.
  

Oh god. The Regata... I had forgotten...

Heads will roll, then?

• Reserved seats. This is a given in many places around the world. Apparently in most US movie theaters it is not possible? It take a lot of the hassle out of things.
  

I’ve lived in 6 countries on four continents. Only in the US have I encountered free seating in movie theaters. Blew my mind the first time. Reserved seats make life way easier for most people.

Reserved seating is fine unless people don’t know how to read their tickets and come late and try to make you move after the movie has already started.

Agreed.

“That story has some holes.”
