My new work provided Thinkpad T470 has both. The USB-C port replaced both a VGA port (still needed to hook up to older projectors) and one of the standard USB ports that my T440 had (it also removed the optical drive and is quite a bit lighter). I am glad for the proprietary port and applaud the USB-C being…

The more crazy Stephen King stuff is being saved for the TV series, I’m sure (assuming the movie does well). Which I’m OK with...there was no way the books were going to work as films with all the crazy backstory stuff squeezed in, too.

I watched the first ep, doubt I’ll catch the rest. The show’s format is far too ADD for me. I would have loved more time on just about every segment. It felt forced and rushed and therefore...not very informative.

Marvel’s Avengers: Lego Movie Edition

Evernote as a word processor? It is blatantly terrible at formatting. It’s a step above notepad, I suppose. But honestly not by much. And I say this as a paying subscriber. I would never use it to create full documents.

They probably went ahead and boarded because they didn’t want to be late and were hoping 4 people wouldn’t show up.

And can we stop with this “overbooking” story line. They needed 4 seats and kicked 4 people off the plane. It was sold out, but was not really overbooked. Even if it was acceptable (apparently the airline…

I fly all the time. Mulling shredding my United credit card and calling it a day. They’re not my primary airline (Alaska), though, so it wouldn’t mean much to them. I don’t think I’ve flown them in over a year.

It seems weird. My guess is Romo has done some test runs at some point and they liked what they saw. Fox really nurtured Aikman...sending him to Europe for sometime when they had games in Europe.

Chase seems good. Only booked one thing through them but they answered right away and said 24/7 on the website. I called on a Sunday and got a real live human being almost immediately.

I doubt they would given the availability of it as a home video release. Movie buffs probably would but that’s a small audience versus your typical blockbuster release. Our family probably bought the thing 3 times since ‘91. (VHS, DVD, Blu/Digital). This and The Lion King are truly special films.

Boards are generally made up of executives who expect the same thing in return. It’s the very definition of the good old boys club. Even if they girls in now.

The newer AA cabins are terrible. Took an AA flight from Kentucky to Dallas (Airbus) and the pitch was close the seat tray came down and folded out into a half tray configuration and then could be folded out again if it would fit. The guy next to me had his knees so far into the chair in front of him he looked to be…

I think they’re good for keeping things form clumping, at least that’s why my wife said she got them. They do seem to keep things separate.

If you’re watching the airline’s version of the movie, it’s probably edited for content anyway. If you rented it on your laptop/tablet...then know who is around you.

I usually have something “safer” to watch just in case. Like my last flight where a 3 or 4 year old girl was sitting next to me. Miss Peregrine’s (7/10)…

Sounds like the novels are filling in too much detail. Let people’s imagination run wild. It’s more fun that way. I don’t need this to explain away the inconsistency. I simply assumed Obi-Wan didn’t want to drop that kind of truth bomb on Luke right away. See, valid explanation, no silly explanation necessary.

That’s the real advantage. I’ve had one for a few years now (the company I started it with deposited 1,000 seed money with it). The investment thing is newer but what I do is keep my deductible in cash and the rest of it in mutual funds.

You can also have an FSA with your HSA but the FSA is very limited (so I’ve never…

He’s definitely in a rut with the character.

I finally got around Season 9 and the related Christmas special. Over all, I enjoyed it. I think being away from it for an extended period helped. But, still thinking a new show runner will be a good thing.

If you have decent interest rate, you’d be better off pre-paying it rather than consolidating. Assuming you have the cash. A lot of student loans have very attractive rates right of the box.

Yeah I’d agree. They were totally going trying to hit that nostalgia button a little too hard in the end. The different take on Khan was interesting up until he just turns total bad guy. Drops the film down a notch. Still, serviceable sci-fi action film.
