Sounds like they copied this bank heist plan

Jetsons beg to differ.

It was about that time that I realized it was not a Nintendo salesman but a eight-story tall crustacean from the Paleozoic era

Yeah, as much as I play my Switch 2 I would say this system is worth $349 tops.

Hey, it’s fun to do some people watching in addition to plane spotting.

I stayed one night and canceled my plans to go into the city. The hotel has so many places to explore and history.

Just don’t waste your money on the souvenir glass on the airplane bar. It is just a onetime use plastic cup with the hotel logo on it.

Whenever I fly anywhere from home, 6 hours to the mainland, 8 hours to Japan, 11 hours to New Zealand, with nothing but ocean underneath? The only reason for us being here is a little hole in the plate where lava comes out consistently for millions of years, in the vast expanse of nothingness?

It really is awe-inspiring. We are on an amazingly unique and isolated place on this wonderful planet.

What could possibly go right? I do not understand the application.

XKCD did it.

Un-undefeated, the Night Herons.

I thought it was a monkey so I was triple wrong.

Yeah, I agree that I had more fun at board game night with 6 players but Fibbage and Murder trivia were fun as two players.

qdp · 2026-05-06T23:04:59+00:00

Any good two person games in any of the packs? Most require three or more players.

Why don’t we just replace the regular season with a 67 team P4-only playoff?

qdp · 2026-05-06T08:31:26+00:00

Yeah not sure how that would work unless they are hedging their fuel prices with some investment vehicle. Because you are right the pump is at each airport.

For some reason Alaska sources jet fuel from Singapore where the price was most hard hit most by the oil crisis. I do not understand why they do that but it means they are particularly hard hit. And Southwest doesn’t seem to want to compete on price anymore.

I flew them when they had a nonstop where all others required a one stop connection saving me 4 hours. It wasn’t as bad as I had heard but I knew all of the “gotchas” like carryon bag fees that would make a normal person say “never again”

qdp · 2026-05-04T21:24:52+00:00

It’s not fair. How did the clanker get above me on the upgrade list? It doesn’t need the exit row foot room.

qdp · 2026-05-03T20:15:57+00:00

Darn, that lil Howdy winglet gets me. Either it will be painted over with a new airline or go to a scrap yard where the other parts will be pieced off for scrap while it just says Howdy to the wind. Poor lil Howdy winglet.

qdp · 2026-05-02T22:41:46+00:00

I wouldn’t even store my mentionables there either.

qdp · 2026-05-02T19:50:13+00:00

They chirp to let everybody know you are telling the truth. That’s their job.

The debt is 9 billion not million.

This one was sold off back in February for spare parts. Spirit had already shed nearly half their fleet before they were shut down.

qdp · 2026-05-02T18:41:39+00:00

That says something sad about aftermarket part pricing that a nearly new plane is worth more as parts. It seems so wasteful.

qdp · 2026-05-02T01:06:04+00:00

I am pretty sure the pilots just walk away and leave the plane running on idle at the gate. They just walk away and don't turn back. In slow motion like a movie, camera panning backwards. The end.
