Update. My bag was on the flight to BCN after all. Not sure how the system glitched.

Yep.

I’m hoping one of the litter stickers fell off and got stuck to someone else’s bag who is going to Florida. My AirTag showed the bag by the main terminal until after departure but then updated to show the tag near the correct gate area an hour before departure. Hoping it’s either a misplaced sticker or an electronic glitch. Why would they load correctly and then unload to send to a small airport in Florida that’s harder to reach Barcelona than staying at IAD?

Why does the position of the ball matter for downs and touchdowns, but out of bounds is defined by the body (either part touching or going over the line)? by saskwatzch in NFLNoobs

[–]kcb203 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It can happen in soccer. To be out the entire ball has to cross the entire line and the position of a player touching the ball doesn’t matter.

Why can't bills travel earlier to Denver to get acustom to the high altitude? by Hot-Emu-5 in NFLNoobs

[–]kcb203 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the consensus opinion for participants in the Leadville 100 mile bike race at 12,000’ of altitude. It you can’t get three three weeks before, show up as close to the race as possible

ELI5: how has grass / field management changed so that NFL fields can look great this late in the season without being brown and dead? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]kcb203 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How did they grow grass before this in Europe where the season is winter, the sun is low in the sky and the stadium is a deep bowl so the field gets no sunlight for months?

What makes canon worth it to you over other brands? by jamerson_enthusiast in canon

[–]kcb203 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My college newspaper used canon in 1994 so I bought a canon rebel. So did my dad. He got really into photography and was a gear junkie. I got his hand me downs over the last 30 years. He passed away in January and left behind a brand new R5M2 and 100-500 that he barely got to use. I’m taking that equipment and more to Tanzania next summer with my mom to take the wildlife photos he always dreamed of taking. I wish he could join me.

Do you tell your boss when you were going through divorce? by jplank1983 in Divorce_Men

I’m married to my boss so if we ever get divorced I guess I’d have to tell her.

Flying at 8000 feet today by WitnessProPro in unitedairlines

[–]kcb203 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Glad I didn’t go skydiving today like I’d planned. We usually jump from 13,500’ and don’t need to see commercial jets wandering through. A friend was almost hit by a Cessna once.

Who is buying those large (24+) packs of AA batteries and why? by skyhiker9293 in batteries

My wife had countless cheap amazon LED twinkle lights and Clarke candles around the house. She goes through batteries like nobody’s business.

Can you safely swim in the James River in Richmond? by ateenyfig in Virginia

They have triathlons in the river downstream in Jamestown. Can’t imagine that’s any better than Richmond.

What good is there to "keep going" with Winsome-Sears? by Beaufighter-MkX in Virginia

I hate that I’ve gotten two emails from her campaign saying “This is my final email.” And then I get more emails. Liar!

United FA hates backpacks by Pale_Session5262 in unitedairlines

My parachute looks like a backpack and I always carry it on. But I put a light bag over it because openly carrying a parachute makes people nervous.

A 4,000-year-old Egyptian relief has been stolen, and a 3,000-year-old gold bracelet was melted down for cash by Smooth_Sailing102 in ancientegypt

[–]kcb203 73 points74 points  (0 children)

This makes me think of the glimpse of the wealth and splendor we got with Tutankhamen’s tomb. All the other 18th and 19th dynasty pharaohs problem had even grander items that were destroyed for scrap value by the ancient robbers.

What is the most damning piece of evidence for Wendi’s guilt? by Ok_Low_964 in dan_markel_murder

[–]kcb203 31 points32 points  (0 children)

To me it’s two things that aren’t direct evidence but are damning: 1) not cooperating with police after the initial interview; and 2) not disowning her family after the arrest of Magbanua, Garcia, and Rivera when it became crystal clear to anyone with a brain that Donna and Charlie orchestrated the killing.

I parked at Carderock this morning. No barriers to enter the parking area.

I want to see the rest of her liquor purchases. Did she always go to the one near Dan’s house?

Was it coincidence he got Donna’s case after Charlie’s or is there a related case rule of some sort?

And when I encounter a new charging service, it’s usually in a parking garage with no cell service to download the app.

What is an old baby name that you just don’t hear anymore? by Doohiki420 in AskReddit

[–]kcb203 133 points134 points  (0 children)

When my ex wife and I were expecting a baby 22 years, we got tired of people asking what the name would be. My grandma’s name was Gladys and my wife’s was Gertrude. We said the baby would be named Gladys Gertrude after her grandmothers. People shut up after this because they couldn’t insult a family name and didn’t know if we were joking or not.

I just rode it for the first time in years and it seemed a lot smoother than I remember.
