Pvt Dancer posted:If you're going to use your phone as GPS in rentals get this. It folds up to no space at all and allows you to stick it on any dash without falling off/over. Not having to look down when navigating when you're in someplace new, driving on the left side of the road is so much safer. This is drivers ed 101 stuff, but make sure you locate and understand the wiper and headlight controls and have your GPS/phone navigating before you put the rental car into drive.

kitten smoothie posted:Or if you live/travel near the border or close enough to get to one of these enrollment centers, just get Nexus anyway, because not only does it get you Global Entry, it costs half the price of GE. I had heard (in this thread?) that the NEXUS interviewers expect you to have a justification for applying to NEXUS, e.g. travel to Canada regularly.

Higgy posted:Hah. Flight landed at one end of the G terminal 5 minutes after my flight to DTW had started boarding on the other side of the F terminal. I don't know how far that is but I ran/speed walked the whole thing and just made it. I seriously seriously do not like MSP. MSP is terrible. I don't know why people like the mall-during-the-holidays experience.

KillHour posted:I'm salary exempt (and have had to do poo poo like work 20 hour days 4 days in a row sandwiched between long flights). It's also expected in my company to work weekdays and fly weekends because my coworkers set precedent and have no balls. I think I'm the only one giving the company a hard time about their policies. Everyone else just rolls over. So, pretty much what we expected when you were talking about taking this job. Still better than where you were at?

Zaepho posted:Houston is a city that's better lived in vs visiting in my opinion. The layout, sprawl, hollow urban core (downtown proper is a ghost town outside business hours), and complete lack of decent transit options make it hard for anyone that doesn't live around here to really figure out how to enjoy it. We have all the things but not all easily together I guess. Like Detroit, everything you want to do in Houston is a 25 minute drive away from where you are, no matter where you are.

There are all kinds of ways to accelerate pcr testing and returns that have been proposed for nearly a year (pooling, saliva instead of swab, university or industry pcr machines, defense production act, etc) but they didn’t maximize LabCorp revenues so they didn’t happen.

You would think Delta would prefer laws that prevent the supply of food and water to people trapped for long periods of time in uncomfortable environments, but I guess they’re not Spirit. Also Delta’s booking in middle seats beginning May 1st.

They pay the Cigna/Aetna/UHC/Joe's House Of Paperwork companies of the world to administer the program, but those companies don't usually have a financial stake in the outcomes beyond that. Beyond any incentives for cost reduction negotiated by the organization. I can always tell when my employer moves the dial because referrals and approvals get harder and more restrictive.

This was a big thing at the first defcon after the lone shooter high-scored that music festival. The defcon types did not react well to it.
