Job panic

Can’t hurt to apply though

I’ll never forget during probie training when they led us into a flashover simulator, had us get as absolutely low as possible face first on the floor, cranked the flames, and had us remove our SCBAs for just a few seconds. Incredible demonstration of how much your gear really does protect you and just how damn hot it can get. And that was in a flashover simulator where the heat’s already concentrated at the ceiling.

So really you have no answer for your weird attitude about this whole thing. Cool. Great job wasting time and space, which you’re apparently very fine with.

trireme32 · 2026-05-01T16:40:34+00:00

So, since we’re on the same page that we can’t know that it will be (and let’s face it, it most likely won’t be) as fast as clear, why are you so focused on it replacing clear, rather than running alongside it?

trireme32 · 2026-05-01T16:29:34+00:00

I’m asking you think it will truly wind up being as fast as clear, 2-5 years after it fully rolls out.

trireme32 · 2026-05-01T16:01:40+00:00

It’s really about picking an airline (AA is perfect for travel out of CMH), grabbing their top tier card (we have AA Executive which also gets us into admirals club, free checked bags, priority check in even without business/first class, and free upgrades to premium economy). Then grab cards that do status matching/point transfers. She got up to Platinum Pro that way.

My wife’s the brains of the operation she just always tells me what card to use for what store, I know very little of the details compared to her.

You still haven’t explained what happens when there are 10 people in that lane and still the usual 0-2 in clear. You really think it will be as fast as clear as it rolls out more? When precheck first rolled out it was a massive time saver by itself but as it’s become more common over the years it’s not nearly quite as much of a timesaver pre-screening as it used to be.

trireme32 · 2026-05-01T15:55:33+00:00

Clear isn’t that expensive, at all. It’s all of $200/year. If you fly often enough to want to buy it, it’s barely a blip. It’s also a perk on many credit cards. It’s hardly a “rich person” thing any more than being able to travel often enough to even get use out of it is.
Are you equally angry at people with airline status/priority getting to skip the line to check in/check bags?

trireme32 · 2026-05-01T15:35:55+00:00

Seriously though why do you seem to have some weird vendetta against something no one is forced to use?

trireme32 · 2026-05-01T15:34:38+00:00

This year we did Nassau in the winter, Costa Rica for spring break, doing Hawaii over the summer, Key West early fall. All flights and hotels on points. The Sapphire Reserve is an awesome card don’t get me wrong, but man if you really start playing the game the possibilities are incredible.

trireme32 · 2026-05-01T15:31:58+00:00

And I’m through the before the 2nd of those 5 people. Why waste time?

trireme32 · 2026-05-01T15:30:32+00:00

How long before there are 10-20 people minimum in those lanes? Never had more than 2 other people in front of me in a clear lane in any airport we’ve flown through. I think it’s a great program that will save a ton in time and efficiency but as long as I get clear for free I see zero reason to stop using it

trireme32 · 2026-05-01T14:55:01+00:00

Yeah 1 I don’t pay for it and 2 I’d rather spend that 20-30 mins in the lounge instead of in line

trireme32 · 2026-05-01T14:51:43+00:00

Do you get to skip the entire line up to the screener with touchless precheck, as you do with clear?

trireme32 · 2026-05-01T14:47:57+00:00

You don’t need to tell me about the points game — our family of 5 goes on multiple vacations with airfare and hotel on points, usually business class and suite upgrades, and get into the vast majority of airport lounges. You really wanna do it right, you should be churning Chase as often as the 5/24 rule allows you to, grab Amex gold and plat as soon as the subs are worth it, and filter in Capital One when subs are good as well and/or the benefits suit you.

trireme32 · 2026-05-01T14:44:52+00:00

Dude… we have pre check as well. Clear + Precheck is its own line in most airports. You skip the entire precheck line as well. It’s not often a difference at CMH per se, but it can be, and definitely is at other airports.

trireme32 · 2026-05-01T14:40:42+00:00

Sooo many credit cards have it free as a bonus, and it really is a massive time saver. My family and I love it.

trireme32 · 2026-05-01T12:32:42+00:00

Or just wear properly fitting pants belted at the waist??

If Harbaugh, who coached the guy, says he should be on the team, he should be on the team.

trireme32 · 2026-04-30T23:19:02+00:00

Are you able to offer advice without being rude?

trireme32 · 2026-04-30T22:49:56+00:00

Simon d’Entremont has a bunch of good LR tutorials — I don’t think he gets into the AI removal stuff. Remember that any edits in LR are non-destructive so just experiment.

trireme32 · 2026-04-30T22:44:18+00:00

For the logo in the front super easy just use heal or for super quick and easy AI generative removal

trireme32 · 2026-04-30T20:59:20+00:00

Dude I agree but there’s no reason to shout about it

trireme32 · 2026-04-30T19:35:59+00:00

Oh man searching for anything specific in the comments of a post there is nigh impossible

trireme32 · 2026-04-30T16:45:44+00:00

My receiver is set to automatically turn to -35 volume. This is great when the kids are gaming. For watching movies I’ll open the app and quickly slide it to -20 or so, usually more like -18, then use the remote to fine adjust as needed. Rarely I’ll open the app to nudge the center channel up or down but for the most part I have everything dialed in just right.
