I very rarely post in AI these days, but I saw this thread a few days ago, binged through it in 3 days, and here I am. Great work, Dave, Happy New Years, and I'm glad you'll see your cat again soon. I hope you let the huge amount of progress you made keep you riding high and feeling good about yourself.

slothrop posted:have you called room service to ask for the chilli special yet? Surely the chilli surprise is something he's leaving for housekeeping. Brilliant thread, I greatly look forward to following along with you guys again in a few short months, and pitching in where I can. People don't go on adventures enough any more. I'm kind of lucky in that a few times a year my job says to me "you need to be in the DRC for six weeks" or "you're going to above-Arctic Circle Canada for ten days" so I get to see new vistas and have different experiences every now and then. In 2015 we had to cancel a trip to Greenland because the exploration camp had been overrun by polar bears. Interesting stuff. But almost all of us just punch in and out and stay in our little loops day-to-day, week-to-week, and so on. It's great to see that there are still people that go their own way in the world, and it's even greater to see the positive effect it's had on our protagonist these past few months.

Discovered this thread a couple of days ago and just had to binge it. Godspeed to you Dave, hope some of the peace of mind you found in Nebraska follows you home. I'll be up for contributing supplies if this resumes in the spring.

Dave, seriously,. thanks for everything. I'm not even involved in this, but it was a hell of a ride watching this. No sane person would have ever done this, and you look so much better than a few months ago. Godspeed man. Get home in one piece. Go stroke your hairy 14 BAR RIFF posted:A message from me and dan. Completely out of left field, but... what the gently caress is your accent? I thought you spent most of your life on the west coast? You sound more midwestern than... uh, midwesterners. Or am I just used to my own accent now? Dan sounds mostly like "generic American accent" to me. People from the border region can nail my accent immediately as soon as I open my mouth, otherwise the only comment I get is "how much Spanish do you speak?" or "you don't sound like you're from Texas". I know my own accent has changed a lot since I moved to DFW 20 years ago, but the slang I use gives it away in a hurry. My dead giveaway is a white guy using the *clicks mouth* AHHH as a scoff. Gabriel Iglesias describes it decently in his latest Netflix special. clam ache posted:The best kind of vette. Never seen one that clean personally.

Lol my dad said the same thing. My brain is full of holes so like a sponge it absorbs regional accents drat near instantly without even trying. There was one time you said I sounded more Texas than you did too, because my best friend was from Galveston and I just sort of absorbed it

Charging to take your luggage with you is one of the dumber things about air travel these days. I understand charges for something like your box of tools, but gently caress me, include the price of my damned clothes in the price of the ticket you cock-gobbler airline douchebags.

I understand charges for something like your box of tools, but gently caress me, include the price of my damned clothes in the price of the ticket you cock-gobbler airline douchebags. it gets dumber than that, because they say airplanes these days are flying around with the cargo holds at ~37% capacity. It's so bad they're trying to figure out how to put people in there. Some airlines are even starting to charge for the overhead bins, with your only free luggage space being under the seat in front of you, or for someone over 5'4, your footroom.

It's irritating as hell to get on and off planes these days as everyone drags around two giant bags with them.

Thae problem is that no matter how much people say they would rather pay more for the face price of the ticket than be nickled and dimed and crammed in like sardines, consumers as a group still just buy the cheapest ticket they can find and bitch about the fees and lack of space later.

And airlines have started to inflate gate to gate flight times to accommodate the increased boarding and disembarking times. It's loving stupid.

They could counter it pretty easy by giving boarding priority to those that aren't carrying on.
