Sixth grade English teacher telling me that simultaneous doesn't mean "at the same time."

One of my favorite Lego from my younger years. Loved the sets, but I more enjoyed creating so many other things from combining those sets.

I’m one as well. Will be running the same install of EndeavourOS for 2 years next month.

I wouldn't worry about them too much. Reverse image search shows this picture is from June of 2020, when lots of people weren't even in the office because of Covid.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

You know… Every time I hear that Chekov’s absence needs to be explained, I sigh. Chekov was on the Reliant in Wrath of Khan. There’s zero reason they can’t just say that. The Khan arc won’t matter, Genesis may still get made and they may need to find a test planet. It’s not that difficult.

What I really still want is to see the probe from Voyage Home to come looking for the whales. Let’s see if Action ~~Jackson~~ Kirk can figure it out without a Bird of Prey or blowing up the 1701-A.

Same as the above, this right here is what I’d recommend: vinegar. I actually have been adding vinegar for years to my workout laundry, and there’s been no stink. I can’t use anything like softener or detergents that aren’t “free” and “clear” due to skin allergies, so my options are pretty limited otherwise.

Clear is now a TSA “vendor” for the precheck process. The machines they use for the sign up process - at least the airport I was at - don’t have the eye scanning camera in the kiosk.

The Clear representative I was asking questions of had said they don’t require eye scans for Clear, though that is the default. People can ask to use just fingerprints, which he said does disrupt the terminal process as the agents don’t think to ask if fingerprints were what was registered when the eye scans fail.

I am not advocating for Clear. I refuse to use them. I simply do want to call out that they are one of 3 who handle the process for the TSA now. People do have a choice of which of the three to use.

I’ve had the Eros E3.5s for a few years and they’ve not let me down on quality, especially at the price point.

I also considered those Mackie’s.

I was a Radioman in the Navy, and some coworkers and I had gone to see Cider House Rules in the theater.

There's a scene where they come to inform someone that a plane with a loved one on board had been shot down.

To quote the movie:

When the plane was hit, the crew chief and the radioman jumped close together. The copilot jumped third.

We immediately started laughing when we heard that, because we were told that the Radiomen are some of the last to leave a sinking ship due to needing to destroy the cryptographic material. Hearing that a Radioman was one of the first to bail was too good to us..
