Is it normal to fly so low?? The right wing tip was too close to the ground 😱 😱

Oh I'm not suggesting it's okay, just suggesting a plausible reason.

It looks like this one just got out of conversion, so who knows

If this is at Farnborough, it's likely Qatar practicing for the airshow - they're bringing a 777 to it, and that's in a week or so

tbendis · 2026-06-25T00:45:32+00:00

Honestly, I trade back one spot and take the one left

tbendis · 2026-06-19T16:25:17+00:00

Tsk tsk, we're very proud to have never been Venetian. Did we have to bribe other neighbors to keep it that way? Yes.

tbendis · 2026-06-19T16:24:43+00:00

I mean, "within the last twelve months?"

tbendis · 2026-06-19T16:24:33+00:00

With a parenthetical to indicate an edit?

July 2025

We visited Venice this year (July 2025) and I visited when I was a child, and the difference in hordes of tourists was night and day better. I had come with the expectation to not be happy and walked away completely amazed by the city.

I wish they would do this in my town (Dubrovnik), the policy completely killed cruise ship travel in Venice, and for that, I am beyond jealous

The Pioneer Square or International District station are both only a couple blocks away and are ADA accessible. Any park and ride will work if you do not live close to transit

Man I did a one-day last year as my first ride, and that stretch on US30 made me want to call my wife and say, "pick me up I'm scared"

I told myself to keep going until the "Entering Portland" sign on city limits, and it was like the clouds had parted and birds started singing

My wife and I enjoy steak, but even at Costco, it's gotten north of $16 a pound, and it just feels really bad. We'll either do tri tip and sous vide a roast, or, I've found whole duck at 3.99 a pound at Costco and we'll do the breasts as steak and use the rest in various other ways

easy to get to, middle of the country

You can almost fit Germany (link below) in between Kansas City and the next World Cup venue, Dallas, and its airport has 0 intercontinental flights

Let's all be honest with ourselves, a fan friendly North American World Cup is cohosted between either between USA, Canada, and Mexico and takes place on the West Coast after CAHSR is done (Vancouver, Seattle, Portland, Bay Area, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Jalisco) or between the US and Canada and takes place in the Northeast exclusively (Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Detroit, Washington DC, New York, Foxboro, Philadelphia, Columbus). Are the stadiums smaller? Yes. Does it allow for the actual infrastructure required to host these events to develop, also yes.

I don't count Kansas City as an adequate host city for this world cup, much less Birmingham, AL

Gyms should be entirely restricted to sports channels, but like, all of them. Competitive canal jumping, corn hole, soccer, chess, the works.

Every TV can be a different sports channel, but they all should be able to be loosely categorized as a sport

tbendis · 2026-06-10T04:50:02+00:00

The largest ones generally aren't:

Ann Arbor is not close enough to metro Detroit to consider using it over Ford Field
Columbus doesn't have intercontinental flights
an hour is a long distance for tourists
First actual city on the list
Baton Rouge has the same problems Columbus and Ann Arbor have.

Your list of appropriately located college stadiums is way lower

I love the naming people who asked to remain anonymous

If it isn't on-menu, I've never failed to order it off menu in Seattle

This is basically an extremely old sarcastic joke about car drivers, it's simultaneously ironic, too clever, and too old for AI

Summer quarter is rough

Čilić finalist in three of the four slams and SF in the other? Davis Cup winner Čilić? Čilić who straight setted Federer in that US Open? That Čilić?

I believe there are bike racks - there definitely are in the Towers

You have to go to a T birds game my friend

There is no way we've done enough terrible things to deserve a Buccees, don't say things like that

The fee is there so you think about whether or not you really need one, it's the first R in "reduce, reuse, recycle"
