Brits know a thing or two about queuing up.

I wanna know why people will drive around the parking lot hunting for that sweet spot, spending who knows how much time, instead of grabbing the wide open spot a lane over that adds about 4-5 seconds of walking.

Having trained in some old 172s, I appreciate regulations that require updated weights and balances with a licensed mechanic when the owner does something like upgrading avionics. So I understand the cost of keeping those things airworthy.

But in my case, that same plane has a seat rail lock that fails during takeoff. Luckily I had an instructor with me who grabbed the yoke when I had to let go.

It's a weird world where you're confident to not rent a plane that will stall because of some aftermarket install, but you're on your own if that old seat fails.

Looks awesome and I've already shown it to a few folks.

I'd avoid the "military grade" encryption marketing part though. For a lot of people, "military grade" means lowest bidder.

Guessing this is posted as a reaction to adsbexchange getting bought.

Is this where people are moving?

My name is Patrick Bateman. I'm 27 years old.

I believe in taking care of myself, in a balanced diet, in a rigorous exercise routine.

In the morning, if my face is a little puffy, I'll put on an icepack while doing my stomach crunches.

I can do a thousand now.

After I remove the icepack, I use a deep-pore cleanser lotion. In the shower, I use a water-activated gel cleanser. Then a honey-almond bodyscrub. And on the face, an exfoliating gel-scrub. Then I apply an herb mint facial masque, which I leave on for ten minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an aftershave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm, followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.

airbnb seems to find new ways to burn any goodwill they had.

I've heard about more friends getting scammed and having their reviews deleted, and dragged out refunds if they happen at all.

Almost all of them ended up with chargebacks on their credit card, and then airbnb bans them.

I wonder if they're looking for a history of that, and just hoping people don't care about what info they're giving away.

you'll get a little L. Ron Hubbard in there too.

nah, you could already do this before with copying and pasting. now you can ask chatgpt to get funky with its answer, and it'll do most of the rephrasing for ya.

Someone buying a live pangolin is probably not a good person. Its not something you accidentally buy when you're drunk one night.

The fact there are enough people that participate in this to keep an open pipeline of pangolins is some strange medicine.

Every man I know has had a dream about not being able to punch in their dream.

Every person I know that went to college has had a dream about being lost or stuck on campus.

Dreams about being in the backseat of a car unable to reach the pedals are so common it makes me wonder.

Good read, but I was expecting to see some Last Messiah in there.

I don't see a mention of le-bourget, which is where the bulk of private flights are operating.

Lumi lad, any idea what part of the supply chain Int Paper uses you for when not using SAP?

Is the military fully hardened? Seems like they have some more hardening to do.

Same thing happened to me while casually reading SFGate articles, which were loaded with puff pieces about Disneyland. Even when trying to hide all the gouging, it still made the place look miserable.

Its impossible to pressure wash away how bad its gotten, which makes my truly great memories of the place as a kid even more sad.

That Shanghai-Covid Disney story seems like the peak. Trapped inside, with rides running until you get a negative test.

Birdemic might give you what you crave.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZH1SNmY_1XY

Guilty, when I was learning django I probably orphaned like 20 or 30 myself.

If one cheated with one of the other twins and had a kid, would a genetic test be able to tell?

I enjoy a car haggle every now and then, but what makes it so fun is that its one of the few places you can haggle.

Try to haggle down the price of a bean burrito at taco bell and see how much fun that is. There are all kinds of bean burritos to choose from in mi barrio, but they aren't budging to make a deal.

The same people haggling for cars are paying over asking on house bids.

I've haggled at a guitar center, but then I can't do the same thing at a hot topic when I pick up my chain jeans.

It's a weird game, but more bragging than haggling. The sense of satisfaction at having bargained it down is a pretty good rationalization after you've purchased.

Scarebus for you, eh?

I remember seeing similar dolphin pens down in San Diego across from Coronado.

Floating by in a little 20 foot Catalina while the sail of a nuclear sub cruises by is surreal.

You can see the pens on google maps.

Is that same lever being applied to everyone thats testing this right now, or is this making an example?

I know nothing about nothing, so it's a real question.

Whats the price difference here? Doesn't seem worth the effort of hitting up a dealer unless you're picking up a couple other party platters.

I'm hyped about rivian and its ilk, but is the expectation that each company figures this out on their own, or is someone going to come over the top and make something universal all these EVs can ingest. Is swapping batteries the only thing to look forward to?

If you read enough of the examples on antiwork you see most of those "texts from the boss" posts are fake.

They usually follow a formula. Boss: I need you to do something ridiculous.

Employee: I quit.

Boss: oh bother, I done goofed. What can we do to get you to stay.

Employee: fuck you

It's sad what people will make up for internet pats on the back

a good status page will be completely separate from the thing it's statusing, otherwise it goes down too.

Gong.io does this if you invite it to your meeting

Good one.

A friend of mine bought a book online, that was just a link to a pdf in an S3 url.

I chopped off the /book.pdf part, and it was just in an S3 bucket with all the other books they sell.

That works for me too, but I don't read.

I try to imagine weird things, like flying cars, to kick off the dream state.
