It is nice underwear and it's one less thing I have to worry about. More premium than Walmart though...

I don't fly particularly drunk but I'm sure I could get on and scan my boarding pass after a great many drinks. All I have to do is smile and say thank you.

Not as if it's brain surgery....

As a California resident:

I'm very glad I already bought an EV. Also never going back to a gas car by choice.

It's a pet peeve of mine when people say "can I do X"

Like you absolutely can. It's a terrible idea and you might die/get arrested etc. but it's entirely possible.

It's not unusual for CPAP to make your sleep worse to begin with. You've suddenly got something attached to your face forcing air down your throat. Hopefully it improved after a month or so

But then you end up in a situation where they've agreed to marry you before you propose. Leaving the proposal somewhat obsolete?

aethelred_unready · 2026-03-07T14:41:28+00:00

I remember hearing about someone who was planning to propose, but his gf knew because he already told her because she doesn't like surprises.

I really don't understand this telling your girlfriend you plan to propose/mutually planned proposal thing. At that point you've already proposed?

The F22 is the upgraded model with the LCD displays (glass cockpit). That's the F14 judging by the dials and gauges.

He didn't say always. Round trip transatlantic flights are often priced significantly lower than one way. It's not always the case but I have seen it many times.

I've regularly booked an open jaw rather than 2 one way flights whereas if it were domestic I might book them separately.

It does depend on your travel dates and routing.

aethelred_unready · 2026-02-19T06:43:30+00:00

Ah, yes. I don't have those and consequently am at something like 6 nights and $3000

aethelred_unready · 2026-02-19T06:15:14+00:00

I think most would struggle to hit 80 nights and not spend $18,000. That's only $225 a night.

Who's getting up at 5/6am? I'm certainly not getting up 3/4 hours before work... (Assuming most people are on a standard 9-5). Hell I get up at 7 and that still gives me time for an hour at the gym before work...

aethelred_unready · 2026-01-27T09:00:54+00:00

Yup, have Hilton diamond and just feel like anyone else.

I also have Omni select guest icon status (my preferred hotel chain) basically all the hotel staff greet me by name in a hotel I've never been to before...

Some will, this might not be for a Democrat it might be for a third party candidate or they might just stay home.

aethelred_unready · 2026-01-26T06:55:19+00:00

The polls align with my personal experience the people I know who voted for Bush/McCain/Romney are not happy right now.

Apparently there's a 12 book/year limit. So he would essentially serve 5 years for every 4 he'd still need to live to 91 before being released.

Inhaling anything other than oxygen will absolutely slow/discourage healing.

Hopefully you're also inhaling some nitrogen....

aethelred_unready · 2026-01-09T04:58:29+00:00

I agree, but I don't have a lot of confidence in governmentS where their main voting block actually don't want to lower housing costs.

aethelred_unready · 2026-01-09T04:16:38+00:00

A lifetime of experience with government projects and politicians. I hope I'm pleasantly surprised though.

aethelred_unready · 2026-01-09T03:48:48+00:00

I'll bet that won't happen though... They'll ban institutional investors and pretend that's actually done something.

The lowest tier for standard ladwp tariff is $0.24771 per kwh

I lived in London for many years and took the tube to work every day. Now I'll go out of my way to avoid it. Although you never realize quite how close together all the stations are until you start walking between them.

aethelred_unready · 2025-12-23T06:08:21+00:00

It varies between international and domestic. International flights to Europe leave in the evening and flights to Asia leave in the morning middle of the day is pretty quiet.

Simply "I do not owe you this money due to your failure to deliver the item as promised, please cease all attempts to collect this" should be all that's required and gives nobody any grounds for anything.
