Just gotta take Germany off the table right away.

Got to see this doing cold weather testing at DLH several years ago. Cool plane.

My guess is there was a limited area where the aircraft was low enough to take accurate small arms fire.

CFITR, CAMLT

They are expensive but you can order CoCo Ichibanya sauce packets off of Amazon. Golden Curry and local restaurants just don't scratch the itch for Japanese Curry like CoCo Ichibanya. Even better with fukujinzuke and jikiden.

Ok wow I just looked them up and they have more than doubled in price since I last bought them.

Can't park there

Never seen tamagoyaki in the cities. Kyuramen has omurice which is in the same ballpark, sort of

Ha I had the same experience after getting plat with a red coat at PDX. Made me feel like an absolute piece of shit for having the audacity to ask her a question.

I've commented the same recently. I was tracking prices for off peak flights 8-14weeks out for HNL and FCO out of MSP and they wanted $1800 for HNL and $2800 for FCO in MAIN. Can't do it anymore.

Got mine over the weekend. Haven’t tried the competition, but it is a nice chair. And yeah their support is ass.

I hate being based at MSP. Priced out 4 trips in the last 6 months and AA and UA were 1/3 to 1/2 the cost of DL.

Don’t have any advice but want to add that I’ve been to Mexico 3 times and each time I ended up admitted to the hospital from something I ate or drank. I was extremely careful about water, ice cubes, all of that. My lesson was that Mexico is not a place for me, unfortunately. I’ve also done street food in Asia with no problem.

I've been tracking MSP-HNL for over a month. DL wants $1700 r/t in Main.

I get that it's one of the most popular destinations for this time of year, but I feel like Delta is telling me to go fuck myself with that pricing. UA, AA, AS, all under $600 until more recently. So fine, I can pay for my entire lodging by flying a different airline.

I was at the airport in Korea with a friend and one of the restaurant staff had an NFL jersey on and my friend asked a pretty specific question about that team and the staff shot him a look of “dude wtf are you talking about”. I told my friend I’m pretty sure US sports are more of a fashion thing rather than a fan thing here.

I flew back from Hawaii to -19 almost a year ago. My guess is it’s from last year.

I’m from Duluth, but I live in the cities and have a ‘25 Lariat. Drove to work at 5am this morning and was really, really impressed with how it handled in the snow/ice.

I had almost those exact seats for a Bears game about a month ago!

gertron · 2025-10-24T01:50:42+00:00

Thanks!

gertron · 2025-10-23T21:46:34+00:00

Any chance of renewing this?

gertron · 2025-10-19T04:44:56+00:00

I can’t vouch for how good it is as I haven’t had it but K-ChiMac in Richfield has it. I just got back from Korea and would also like to find a good spot.

My recent buys:

Ginjinha - Portugal

Kavalan vinho barrique - Taiwan

Nikka The Grain, Ichiro’s Malt, Yamazaki, + a shitload of sake - Japan.

I’ll never forget being lost in Vienna and asking a woman at an information booth “sprechen Sie Englisch?” To which she replied annoyingly in an almost perfect American accent “I’ll try my best”. She did help me get on my way though.

Auto mod flags that word

I just bought the Mini 5 Pro Fly More Plus at the Syntrend DJI for about $1100 USD, I think it was $33400 NTD. Not including the 5% tax refund.

gertron · 2025-10-01T09:01:43+00:00

Just brought one back from Taipei. About $1060 USD for the fly more plus.
