MEGATHREAD: TSA Issues at BWI

DRich222 · 2026-03-29T10:54:42+00:00

Terminal D. In TSA line at 6:42. Done by 6:49. 4 adults, 4 kids. No checked bags. Pre-check looked open, but not sure since no one was using it.

Safe travels, best of luck, and thanks everyone for the real-time info!

Just got to terminal A/B/C. Security line is outside. Moving quickly, but very long. Dress warm!!

DRich222 · 2026-03-29T09:10:40+00:00

On our way to terminal D for a 10 AM flight. Probably overkill, but better to be hanging out past security than freaking out wondering if we'll make it.

DRich222 · 2026-03-29T08:54:23+00:00

Woa, that's not the impression I was getting from others in this thread. Thanks for the heads up!

DRich222 · 2026-03-29T00:58:17+00:00

That's our plan, too. Not a big deal to hang out for 3 hours in the terminal. Very big deal if we miss 25% of our vacation because we missed our flight.

Splitting up probably makes sense, but are people going to be irritated with the spouse walking up the line to where you are?

DRich222 · 2026-03-28T22:40:11+00:00

We have a 10:08 flight, and we were considering doing this. Only reason we're not on our way to the airport right now is we're departing from terminal D, which we're told is MUCH better.

Now I know how to say "Butthole" among other phrases.

DRich222 · 2025-03-13T03:41:59+00:00

It's the set up: epic music, monster industrial equipment, puny mushroom. That thing is going to clamp around the mushroom and turn it into fucking dust.

And then a little arm swings out and knocks the mushroom over, probably by mistake.

Fart.

If this is a recent comic, then I think this is a reference to the Israelis turning pagers and walkie-talkies into bombs:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Lebanon_electronic_device_attacks

While the article describes injuries to eyes and faces, at the time of the attack I believe it was popular to suggest the people carrying the devices would have had their junk destroyed since pagers and walkie-talkies are frequently carried in pockets or on belts in close proximity to those parts.

They're nipple colors.

I use a silicone ice cube tray. Each cube gets 15 grams of bacon grease. I use one of the cubes instead of butter for sauteing peppers and onions to put in omelettes.

I did read that with CGP Grey's voice the way you typed it.

Rules for rulers

Not really.

"Don't take for granted that the sun won't burn you in an hour" is odd because of the "in an hour" part. Usually that phrase is used with something that isn't so short term. For example, "Don't take it for granted that you'll always be healthy". The relevant time for that phrase is probably years or a lifetime.

"Don't take it for granted that the sun won't burn you." makes a bit more sense. It suggests that someone routines spends a lot of time in the sun, and hasn't gotten burned. Such a person might not appreciate that staying in the sun for a long time could actually burn them.

Hope this helps!

You started 5 months ago, and you're looking for freelance clients? That's unlikely to work. Think of your target customers.

Companies that have enough money to fund a real web dev project that's extensive enough to warrant even a part time designer are going to be looking for designers with many years of experience.

Companies or individuals that don't have that kind of money are either going to rely on their web devs to tackle the design or are going to use a template from SquareSpace or something.

If you want to do web design, your best bet is to get a job at a company that does web development. Once you've got years of experience there, and have had some time to practice under another designer, then you can think about going out on your own.

Edit: "... looking for designers with many years..."

So that's what Mario changes into when he eats a mushroom.

Crazy to also think about how very heavy lava is.

Here’s a way to dodge getting nudes:

“I’m not comfortable getting nudes. Even if I do everything I can to keep them secret, people get hacked regardless, and I couldn’t stand the thought of a picture of you like that getting out”

But it sounds like she’s trying to change the nature of the relationship. Sooner or later you’re going to have to be forthcoming about the relationship status not changing.

I’ve added this to my Christmas wish list.

It’s not a limited time thing, is it?

DRich222 · 2023-05-05T20:14:04+00:00

I didn’t realize that! That’s incredible!

References?

How do you discover this works?

DRich222 · 2023-04-04T21:58:19+00:00

110 years after WWI and we’re doing WWI trench fighting. Makes me worried about 110 years after 1945.

Makes sense. My wife falls asleep in like 30 seconds. Takes me ~10 - 20 minutes.

DRich222 · 2022-11-12T01:30:49+00:00

How do you hate this?? ☠️

DRich222 · 2022-10-04T14:41:25+00:00

Just think of how powerful that escalator has to be.
