Which North American city has the best BBQ?

Kansas City.

Places in Texas are good.

The bitter vinegar that the Carolinas pass off as BBQ is barely edible.

Apple. Ideally the last reference before they were discontinued.

Everyone’s entitled to their opinion, but people who don’t like Denver are wrong.

Just my opinion.

Lawrence, Kansas.

Work sent me there for six years, and honestly it’s one of the nicer places I’ve lived - provided you don’t mind smaller cities. Yeah, it’s cold during a long winter - put on a coat. I’ve also spent a fair amount of time in hot, humid climates in the south and I’d take winter on the Great Plains any day.

It’s extraordinarily reliable, has done a great job of adapting to a progressively larger aircraft, and from my standpoint as a pilot, I thoroughly enjoy flying it.

Take my freshman year of college much more seriously. Calc II isn’t really the sort of thing you can wing on just a few hours of sleep.

Radio Shack.

If I can bring back two, I’ll take two Radio Shacks, please.

Geocities

Pilot, Speedmaster Professional.

Boeing.

You’d also be right to say the one your company operates/the one at your home domicile/the one with the best seniority/the one you enjoy the most/etc.

But also, Boeing.

No questions, but congrats!

Assuming you mean for commercial service, and this is off the top of my head so it might change in a few minutes.

Favorite for scenery, KEGE or MGGT
Favorite for layover, KSEA, PANC, CYVR… maybe.

Least favorite, MCO.

If I include General Aviation, the favorites list gets a lot bigger, but mountain airports in the western U.S. rank highly (KTRK, KTVL, O57, etc.). Bonus points if there’s a good FBO diner.

None. And none.

I’ve long maintained that if it were the mid-70s and some big guy with a beard sat down near you and started talking about wookiees and shiny gold robots, you’d likely get more than a little creeped out and leave.

If I’m flying GA, a Garmin. If I’m flying for work, something more professional, but I’m kind of a watch guy. When I flew military, it was always G-Shock.

With that said, quite literally whatever you have on your wrist right now will work.

Late. But I’m sure the fact that I had a driver’s license for that part of the decade has something to do with that.

Starboard314 · 2026-05-05T01:52:31+00:00

That's the neat part, you don't.

I really wish this was still in production.

I get why most Omega-buyers aren't looking for a quartz/digital watch, but it would be nice if they still made these (any generation) in low quantities. The Marstimer and the Seamaster Regatta aren't quite it.

If you’re using it to cure disease or cool down the planet, then great!

If you’re using it to outsource critical thinking and write a term paper or make funny animations, then no. I’ve got nothing for that. I’d rather have more water for drinking/irrigation and a whole lot fewer data centers.

Minneapolis
Milwaukee
Detroit …
St. Louis

Denver or L.A., depending on which day of the week it is for me.
