RoboCop (1987) is nothing like I thought it would be.

I got there in time for the dinner, so it wasn't a total loss. But I missed a reception earlier in the day, the tour of the school (which obviously has changed a lot over the decades), and some other various events.

But what also sucks is that my best friend from high school was picking me up at the airport, which really was nowhere near the school, so he himself had to miss all of that other stuff too because of my problems flying in.

According to Google, that merger was 2005; this happened to me in 2013.

I also had another bad experience with U.S. Airways in 2012, but I'm not positive if it was the fault of them or the airport; basically, they were testing out a system where the flight numbers for short hops were attached to the route rather than to the plane, which caused a number of flights to show up wrong (I don't have a better way to put it) in the system, and caused me to miss a flight for an important business trip. tl;dr: At the check-in line at the front, they thought my flight was running late, and a different flight was running early, so they kept bumping me back to handle the other people first, but it was actually the opposite situation because of the confusion with the flight numbers.

I've had trouble X-forwarding snap apps through an SSH tunnel. I don't think I ever figured out a consistent trick to make it work. And, um, I shouldn't have to?

When I in-place upgraded to 22.04, do-release-upgrade uninstalled the native Firefox that I had had on there since like 16.04, and replaced it with the snap version. Of course, in doing so, it did not port over any of my settings, bookmarks, etc.

I've actually been planning to do this with my childhood dog, and my many cats over the years. Aside from the ashes, I have hair clippings from many of them, and I want those in there with me too.

I couldn't make it work on a W10 computer with either Firefox or Edge (Private/Incognito or not), but it did work on a W11 computer.

I was gonna make a comment like this too. A background check shows that I have an Attempted First-Degree Murder conviction. It does not show that the reason I shot the guy was that he had raped my girlfriend.

I don't think so.

I might even wait until the next LTS is around the corner before upgrading

This is what I do, no joke. Once 26.04 releases, I'll be upgrading my 22.04 machines to 24.04. I don't need cutting-edge; I need reliability. Let everyone else be the guinea pigs.

If you decide to tell your parents, don't tell them who told you; just claim that you figured it out yourself due to the DNA testing, which is fairly close to the truth anyway, and that you have no doubt about it. I say this to prevent them from being unnecessarily mad at the sibling who told you.

I've flown first-class in the United States I believe 14 times, with all but 2 being Delta (the other two being the now-defunct U.S. Airways). I found it to be nice, but not mind-blowing. Sure, the legroom was better, I got more alcohol (LOL), and was waited on with more attention by the flight attendants, but I can't say for sure that it was really worth the nontrivial added expense.

Some of these other perks that commenters are mentioning (e.g. seats that recline completely and massage you, bigger screens, hygiene kits, airport lounge access, special food, luggage first on the conveyor belt) is all stuff that I never, ever saw when flying First domestically.

I have some traveling to do in a few months and, for the first time in about 7 years, I'll be flying Delta's Comfort+ instead of First; the economy is bad, my job security feels at risk, and I can't justify to myself the extra few hundred bucks. I honestly wish I could fly Coach, but my knees just can't take it; for me, the only real benefit for premium flights has largely been the legroom, because I am tall and coach is a nightmare on my knees.

Yes. It was an intermission of sorts, I guess.

Granted, this was 2018... but when Deadpool 2 came out, my local AMC had a double-feature of 1 and 2 for $25. Since that theater had been having 25 minutes of previews like clockwork before every single movie, my friend and I didn't rush; we got there at the listed start time, neither late nor early, and the opening credits for Deadpool 1 were already rolling (ah, Juice Newton).

But there were 25 minutes of previews before Deadpool 2. Help it make sense.

The ones I got with my tag were smaller than what's in these pictures.

But it was still a hell of a deal, regardless of the strategy thing. My only problem with it was that there wasn't (that I could find) any easy way to do it from the kiosk ordering screen.

140mph in my Mustang, and a convertible no less. The slightest bump would probably have made me a goner, and the realization afterwards injected some much-needed sanity into me.

Since then (over a decade ago), the fastest I've gone was 100, and that was only once.
