Can’t believe I have to say this, but in Minnesota you will continue to have the freedom to get your COVID and flu shots.

Hope it gets better soon.

Put some butter on it?

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

lol. Mark Amodei hasn’t faced a group of constituents in -years-.

It’s the exact argument you’re making.

You argued that people should be able to move from one fare class to another because a seat is empty.

First class is just a fare class with assigned seats just like economy plus (exit row), my dude.

I don’t make the rules but I do try to understand them.

Oh and you have opinions about what the FAs should care about, too.

Adorable. I bet you love it when people make assumptions about why you perform your work the way you do.

Can still go to DNA lounge and shoot the shit with netik and friends about it…

It was an actual time of optimism and excitement in Silicon Valley just two years later when I arrived there.

That is -all- gone.

I watched the old AT&T “You Will” commercials with my kid and we talked about how all of this stuff that seems very normal now was completely mind-blowing at the time. Kids are smart and can get context if you talk to them about it!

Nice! Was it a seat in the same fare class?

You don’t have to like how airlines operate their business, but you do have to listen to what the flight attendant tells you.

The fact that you’re making this all about something that happened to you once upon a time…

There’s actually been a skit about something similar before. I believe it was Akroyd and a fried fish “all you can eat” restaurant.

I can’t find that episode or skit on YouTube, which is basically the Internet these days. You know something exists, but you can’t find it.

I mean seriously, that must be why anytime there’s an open first class seat. Everyone from coach just sits right down in first class for free.

That’s a nice opinion to have if you own an airplane.

Do you own an airplane?

It doesn’t matter if the flight attendant is asking you to stop snoring or to stop punching the person next to you in the face.

Noncompliance is a crime, dead stop

The acknowledgment must be made before the aircraft leaves the ground.

His behavior has already put them in violation of one federal law.

You might want to read up on this shit before getting all pissed off at United Airlines.

I think this is really cute, because he is going to be facing at the very least a $500 fine from the TSA.

It could range up to $10,000.

I hope that dude realizes he’s gonna be on the hook for a lot more than $155 once the TSA gets their hands on him.

Yeah, but that side of the state has always been east Texas more than it was Louisiana…

Watching antisocial driver behavior in the school drop-off line makes it really clear that the pandemic destroyed whatever few shreds remained of the social compact, just pathological selfishness on display every day

Am I the only person in the world who uses Safari every single day for practically every Enterprise web tool available without a single problem?

Seriously, I understand people wanting to use chrome. Go for it. I just don’t understand -why- when it is slower, vastly more piggish, etc.

Still sort of blown away he just…wrecked a McLaren F1 like that. 1/106 ever made, or to be made. It’s a priceless thing, perhaps the best road car of a generation, and he just….

“Whatever, I wrecked it”

That’s just how rich people think. And he wasn’t even very rich then.
