  1. I never jump. I don't pack or dress for the regular line, so I don't want to make the jump. Short answer - no. She will have to apply for global entry to get it. She might get a quick approval, she might not, but it's a crap shoot. Given the cost (she will have to pay full price for it), she might wait for her TSAPre to expire and get Global Entry when it expires.
  2. Sooooooo..... I might have been a touch to quick to defend SpaceX and say they are all clear. https://www.americaspace.com/2024/04/20/starship-faces-performance-shortfall-for-lunar-missions/ The article gets way into the weeds on rocket design, but their basic point is that SpaceX has worked hard to make their rocket powerful, but they increased the weight of the rocket, and thus are costing themselves payload. And for Artemis to be successful, they need to hit a target of being able to get 100 tons of payload into orbit or they will have issues getting enough material into space.
  3. Fuck Rob Liefield. Fucking no talent tracer.
  4. READY!!! FIRE!!! AIM!!! BTW - not sorry if this already was posted, but I was on travel last week and I am just now catching up with my podcasts. This one ... WOW. This is exactly why lack of any sort of support/engagement is a bad thing.
  5. Massive loss. In terms of defense, Dest is a 6, Scally is a 7. In terms of everything else - Scally is a 4, Dest is a 9. This is going to really hurt us.
  6. He probably was after him and his wife got out of the hospital after some sex related injuries due to the same mixup.
  7. So during the pandemic both my wife and I had our global entry lapse. Along with that my wife’s passport also expired, that process partially detailed here. I renewed global entry July 2022 for the TSA PreCheck when I started taking flights to visit my dad more frequently (fuck cancer). I was approved in 2 days with no need for an interview. This was on roughly 1 year expired My wife did her reapplication immediately after getting her passport renewed in August. Still waiting, so 8 months. Granted this was on a 2 year passport expiration, 2+ year global entry expiration. But still, this is ridiculous. We also just got our 4 year old his passport (for our trip to Curaçao) and applied for him to do Global Entry too (he gets TSAPre because of us, but not Global Entry). His application (early Feb this year) was immediately after his passport arrived. He was approved in 24 hours (probably because he’s 4). Though we cancelled his interview for Global Entry on April 9th because my wife having to take the line ride we figured he can just go with her (and that interview date was not convenient anymore). Our new interview plan Is to get them to go to Logan or Derby Line (Canada/Vermont border) together when she’s approved. Until she approved for GE, there isn’t as much need for him to be. Besides I don’t see another international trip for at least 6-12 months.
  8. Don’t you get it? This test is unfair!!! A real child would run from a car!!! That’s not fair to have them slightly offset like that. A real kid could duck!!!
  9. The final day to move to 2nd they need: A result better than Mansfield town (win-draw, win-loss, draw-loss) or a win by 7 more goals than Mansfield Town wins by Wrexham is playing champion Stockport Mansfield Town is playing Barrow (jockeying for position in the playoff)
  10. The Keep Bastrop Boring guy basically had a long list of complaints and rolled over for Elon on the matter. Two videos a year apart and hasn’t posted in over a year.
  11. Same as it’s ever been. Some guy gets on his soapbox and speaks loudly and sounds like an authority and yokels listen to him. The only difference now is that the soapbox is Twitter or a podcast or whenever. And mix in some tough guy, toxic masculinity and all of these incels are ready to eat it up. Elon is just one of these guys, Andrew Tate, Joe Rogan, Tucker Carlson. Just spewing garbage telling these losers it’s not your their fault they are losers, but society for deeming them losers through some really convoluted logic. And when called on it they are just “asking questions”.
  12. Did she include a picture of her under a tree (in Reno of course) with the application? Dreamt
  13. Do other manufacturers give these feature names like “FULL SELF DRIVING” or “AUTOPILOT”? TACC, Lane Keeping and even dumb cruise control all have clear limitations which are advertised and the owner understand the limits of. They aren’t being told the car can drive itself. These aren’t beta features that need bugs worked out of and are being tested on live roads with people who haven’t given any consent to being in a beta test program. So don’t tell me Tesla isn’t putting the public at risk at the same levels any every other automaker. They aren’t.
  14. It gave us a great jingle from that Kenny Loggins wannabe: Capital Chevy Geo!! Capital Chevy Geo!!
  15. The whole point of it being only Level 2 is the fact that you CAN’T trust the machine to do the driving task. You still have to pay attention to pick up its messes. You can’t give up total control.
  16. The only thing more exceptional was the Madrid bandwagon fans showing up right on time.
