On an average work day I’m getting about 8 hours of use out of my Pixel 4 before the battery drops below 30%. Using the wired 18W charger that came with the phone, my recharge time is about 45 minutes. It’s not world class, no, but it’s enough that I’ve not had to worry about anything ... yet.

What probably irks me the…

Somebody clearly doesn’t remember the “Coffee Toffee Twisted Frosty”, but the internet does.

This is where I obviously strongly differ from the “normal” people who vote on these things. I can’t stand “30 Rock” or “Park & Rec” but was hooked on “Californication”, “House of Lies”, and “Nurse Jackie”.

Showtime’s dark comedy game was impressively strong for about 6-8 years there.

That’s going to vary so widely by airport it’s ridiculous, though.

Some airports use KCM entrances completely separate from public travelers. Some airports have a separate stanchion entrance that feeds into a dedicated lane at the checkpoint.
Some airports will even have KCM walk down the security exit and check in…

The pizza chain of choice for my family when we lived in Florida was Hungry Howie’s. Get a Sticky Fingers pizza with crust that has both Garlic Herb and 2x Butter Cheese flavors selected. Pizza crust perfection, and with none of the horrible stomach issues that come from eating PJ’s tomato-based sauces.

2-ish years ago my family and I moved from Florida to Virginia. We were sad to leave the land of Publix but had heard good things about Wegmans and were cautiously optimistic.

That optimism faded the first time we tried to shop at Wegmans. Everything seemed overpriced, packaged to compete with bulk sale stores (who…

I loved the “anatomy of a squid” poster in the classroom scene being followed (but not too closely) by the scene of the squid raining onto the cars. It was the first great nod to this following on the comics and not off the film — which I admittedly like more than I should even if it did miss several key marks of the…

Aside from all the racist connotations, the Braves are also thieves. They didn’t use the Tomahawk Chop motion until Deion Sanders came to town and some FSU fans started using it. Sanders is long since out of the league. The Braves can stop any time now. (So can FSU, but since they actually work with the Seminole…

My wife once bought a purse for $1 at a yard sale.

That purse was a Coach purse that retailed for $550.

I think it was a good deal.

At the ripe old age of 21, I was making a 30 mile (each way) daily commute in the Houston area. I was transferred to a different location 6 months later, increasing my daily commute to 40 miles.

First comment I see on something powerful for women is somebody making a misogynistic comment. I think you think you’re funny, but you’re just lame. People like you are why my teenage daughter doesn’t like people.

I see you’ve never been stuck at an airport waiting for a plane to arrive that’s been delayed / rerouted while it’s carrying somebody you’re picking up, nor have you been stuck with a delayed flight that’s prevented you from checking luggage for awhile. That’s mighty good luck right there. I hope it continues to treat…

This is why linen became the predominant fabric among those who could afford it. If you’re gonna be hot and sticky, might as well wear something that will suck it right off and let it evaporate away.

* Says the guy who lived in Central Florida for 17 years and hates wearing shorts.

I landed there once. I think it might almost be smaller than Orlando Sanford. It was surprisingly small, but hey, at least I got to the rental car counters quickly.

Dallas Love suffers from the same problem of every other Texas airport, though — pre-security, there’s nothing, really. The bagel place is solid, but the only other food option is the Dunkin in the balcony.

Post security, as others have mentioned, DFW is the better option. The interconnectedness of all the terminals…

The best part of MIA is the food in terminal D. Post security. Everything pre-security not named Cafe Versailles is just meh.

If you’re flying United, American, or JetBlue and get stuck in the terminal for a long time, you don’t have to leave security to hop on the tram back to the main terminal and then jump over to the “airside” terminal. That doubles the food options, to include a pretty solid cuban joint, some healthy options, pizza, and…

Multi-Grain is my favorite Cheerio, because of that hint of sweetness without tasting like an overly sugared cereal.

Then again, my favorite cereal of all time is Cracklin’ Oat Bran, so really, I’ve just been a curmudgeonly old man since my teens.

I attended every UCF home game from 2003 to 2007, and never did I ever think I would see a headline that mentioned anybody “toppling” UCF.

This is a weird timeline ...

When I lived in Dallas or Houston, the closest state line was something like 3+ hours drive away. Crossing into Oklahoma or Louisiana felt like a minor accomplishment.

When I lived in Tampa or Orlando, hell, I could drive 3 hours and just be hitting Miami traffic. Straight up 75 to Georgia was a good 6 hour drive.…
