I haven't taken a plane in years and the last time I did it was a business trip I didn't pay for. This trip is just because I need to see my old-rear end relatives one more time before they die cuz they're all very old so I can't really put it off any longer  I'd feel real awful if I didn't get to visit again before that, they're really great people. My great aunt and uncle got my wife and I a nice wedding present for our big gay wedding, and they still send us christmas / birthday cards every year. When my wife came out as trans they were very supportive and didn't miss a beat updating the cards to her new name using her new pronouns which is pretty fuckin' rad coming from a couple 95 year olds

I just realized, my grandpa (who's dead sadly) and my great uncle both fought in the pacific during the war, bravely fighting Japan (and in grandpa's case losing an eye and a finger in the process) so that one day 70 years later I could gay marry a Japanese-descended transwoman god bless america

lancemantis posted:i remember the ktn/redress stuff being around on the southwest forms forever Depends greatly on the day/time you travel. Almost all business travelers have TSA pre and some form of status so on monday mornings it'll be bad. On a weekend during a summer there might be a 60 minute normal line and zero wait for TSA Pre

I'm still waiting because my trip doesn't end until the 23rd and I have to front another 700 for hotel plus whatever meals I eat. my wife just had to borrow $1500 from her mom so she can get a plane ticket to go work for free for two weeks in Africa as a graduation requirement. capitalism can suck my balls. at least we had the available credit for one of our two required trips?

The only flight I ever took was 15 minutes from Orkney to Aberdeen and it was very cool but I will likely never do it again

Considering zeppelins are prone to being blown about by the winds, couldn't we take advantage of that with modern materials and design an advanced sail rig for zeppelins? Computers and electric motors could do a lot of work trimming and adjusting the sails. They'd be the windjammers of the 21st century!

Probably. The Bajorans were even able to sail to Cardassia using a very primitive space craft utilizing this type of technology.

What was that guy supposed to do at 1:36 when the dude chucks that ball at him, like do some kind of butler dodge roll? I guess the point is to teach him to learn to take abuse with a smile on his face.

If you're gonna learn posh deportment that looks a pretty fun way to do it.

Eat This Glob posted:i also paid the tsa $100 fee to be harassed less when going through security. for that i should be guillotined, but i have some serious anxiety and queuing up for customs makes me look super suspect lol I did the same. Four lines of TSA Pre-check and one line for the plebs the last several times I've been to the airport. I sold out.  Eat This Glob posted:me too. I had to put it on my credit card at 24% interest and wait 8 weeks for my goddamn job to reimburse me. I'm still waiting because my trip doesn't end until the 23rd and I have to front another 700 for hotel plus whatever meals I eat. Have you considered being a baby boomer? There are huge discounts for college tuition if you do that.

The last time I did airport security was in December 2016, starting at a small regional airport, ending at McCarren in Vegas, and then going in reverse ten days later. The regional was a bunch of whatever since I was leaving dumbfuck early in the morning, but I also don't remember McCarren being particularly onerous on the way back. I passed through O'hare and LAX, but the trick to those is coming in from a different airport.  H.P. Hovercraft posted:goddamn it capitalism

rough friday at the office so far. I was supposed to go out to a few different sites with a co-worker this afternoon to work on a few things after his meeting with the top boss. Well while he was in there my boss came to me and told me to deactivate his logins. I'm afraid to walk over to that part of the building because I don't know how long that massacre is gonna take, or maybe it was over an hour ago.

Based on the timelines given within the show, the most likely cause for Cardassia having a sudden massive environmental crisis was the relativistic impact of one of those uncontrollable Bajoran ships.

Here they just fire the person first thing in the morning and then often not tell anyone and we only find out through deduction later that they're not just taking the day off.

at a previous company someone wrote a program that checked for account deactivations hourly and posted them to an internal newsgroup. more than one person found out they were being fired or laid off that way.

Anytime my access hiccups I always get a sinking feeling I will get my notice... especially when it is a portal or app to sensitive information or whatever. Usually it is just the network burping or something but one day...maybe not

Usually it is just the network burping or something but one day...maybe not The fact that "oh god this is their way of saying I'm fired" is the first thought of so many people is probably a bad sign. Because everyone I know does the same thing when our logins fail. The first thought is never that I typed something wrong. It's always that I'm fired.

I found out later that someone in his department found out about the firing after he tried to send an email and it kicked back.
