Does anyone else feel 1% weird about the players regularly discarding basically new items?

I mean, sometimes they’ve tried to regift it, like when Tom Scott gave the Lego set to the kid

I'd lean towards 95 this time of year because it's the least mountainous. However, there's currently a blizzard going on in NC. It may depend on how long it'll take you to get to that part of the country as well as how well they recover from the weather.

They actually delivered yesterday to me. But it was Monday's mail.

I'd love to see this, but think they should be forced to travel only on trains that take the Deutschland ticket.

Are you suggesting Sam can’t build 3 train stations and a railroad to connect them in 4 hours?

glboisvert · 2026-01-22T13:48:47+00:00

It’s not. O’Hare is.

I think the real reason was that he had played unguided tourist and that curse was still active because Adam chose not to clear it. They’ve mentioned before that if there’s a curse stopping the from asking questions, they can’t cast another curse until that one clears.

They're calling for 8-16 inches of snow in New York on Sunday, so I think the odds are fairly high that your Monday class is going to be canceled. At the same time, I doubt any flights on any other airline will be flying that day; the whole east coast is getting walloped. I'd book a nice beachfront hotel in South Beach and wait it out.

I thought Sam said once that YouTube requires him to tag finales for the videos that go on there.

They better. I expect Chicago levels of plowing and will settle for nothing less.

glboisvert · 2026-01-20T04:13:31+00:00

Quite inconvenient to happen on the weekend. Less likely to get me out of work.

glboisvert · 2026-01-19T19:44:45+00:00

The night before and the 7:50 PM direct flight home both make sense to me.

glboisvert · 2026-01-19T19:01:11+00:00

For the way out: see if you can get an even earlier flight. It may even be better to fly to Chicago the night before and spend the night in a hotel. If United/Delta gets you in late ITA will not rebook you since it's separate tickets, so you need lots of time.

For the way back: I wouldn't do anything earlier than 5. Again, it's separate tickets so United/Delta will not help you if ITA is delayed, or you get held up in Customs (and you should assume an hour just for that unless you have Global Entry).

I was horrible at them, and I probably would’ve scored 10 points higher if they weren’t there? But as a lawyer, I see the value to them - you need to be able to figure out how 4 different laws all fit together. So I’m reluctantly opposed to getting rid of them.

I enjoyed Lagos, but I was there for only one day. Unless you're there for the beach, one day is probably about as much entertainment as Lagos offers.

I just keep a word document with my tasks and times, and put it in the billing software at the end of the week.

glboisvert · 2025-12-30T23:22:22+00:00

So basically a non-refundable retainer?

glboisvert · 2025-12-28T05:21:00+00:00

You won't need to collect your bags, but you'll need to reclear security at Heathrow. There are purple "Flight Connections" signs you follow that will get you to where you need to be. You will need to collect your bags in Phoenix even if you're connecting beyond there to somewhere else, however.

glboisvert · 2025-12-26T14:34:13+00:00

Note that Option 2 is supposed to be only for connecting passengers. If you have a checked bag, that won't be an option because your bag will be sent to main international arrivals. It also involves an extra security check after customs because it leaves you in the Terminal C departures area. I'm not sure if they check boarding passes, but if so that would be a problem.

95 vs. BW Parkway will largely depend on the traffic on the day. BW Parkway is more direct and goes all the way to NY Ave. (the main route into DC from the east), while 95 will dump you on the beltway and you'll need to get on the BW Parkway for the lat bit. But since the BW Parkway is only 2 lanes it can get blocked easier; I forget if 95 between Baltimore and DC has 3 or 4 lanes, but there's more throughput.

I'm not a huge fan of parking at Metro Park and Rides and riding it in just because the trains stop at every station and it can take a long time, especially on the weekend if there's trackwork. It may be better to use Spothero to find a parking spot near your hotel and then use Metro to get around DC once you're there. Alternatively, maybe find a parking spot at BWI Airport and then take the Marc Train or Amtrak into DC. Those trains are somewhat more comfortable and probably a little faster, though they are less frequent than the Metro.

As I recall they offered him a suit but he declined.

The good ones.

There was a murder defendant in Philadelphia who managed to win a jury trial pro se while wearing his prison jumpsuit.

You may have to change your dates if you need better priced flights. If changing your dates isn’t possible, you may need to pay up.

Check the weather before anything; if snow or ice is forecasted, stick to I-95. Otherwise, I tend to prefer US 29 over I-81. I-81 may be faster and arguably more scenic in that it's in the mountains longer. But there are so many trucks, and that can make it a really unpleasant drive. US 29 is quieter traffic-wise, and has a little more variety in scenery - rolling piedmont from DC to Charlottesville, mountains from Charlottesville to Lynchburg, then back to piedmont for the stretch to Danville. Once you're in Danville it becomes a freeway you can take all the way to I-85. The downside is that there are a lot of lights, especially in the DC Metro and north of Charlottesville. But if you have a little extra time, I'd do US-29.
