You wouldn’t find anything like those breadsticks in Italy either.

This is good Kinja...

A Star Trek show based on Niven’s Draco Tavern stories. There are so many great story ideas there that would work very nicely in the Star Trek universe.

Or even better, if it is multiple lanes going in the same direction and cars in the further lane from the pedestrian are going by at speed. Yeah, sure... Just wave me on... What do I do when I pass your car, then?

“Hi guys, it’s me...”

Installed a whitelist app a couple of years ago and it is brilliant. Went from 3-4 spam calls a day to maybe one a month.

They tend to be at least 3 minutes.

And I accept that I’m an annoying nitpicker when it comes to planes. :)

Not to detract from the joke, but the jump plane in the video is Shorts Skyvan. A DC-8 looks nothing like it.

If you ever have the opportunity to fly on Emirates, Qatar, Singapore Airlines or a number of others, I think you will find that First Class is very much “concierge service”. Business on same carriers is also quite delightful.

US first class or International First Class? US first class is barely at the level of regional business class in the rest of the world.

Which is also making me wonder how often those planes get, y’know, cleaned.

Do you know how to extinguish a grease fire? Please respond quickly...

Ahem.. The Erotic Gherkin...

“penance...” ;)
