    i have the opposite reaction to those questions.  he will research something to ask a question, but it always feels like it is just a question to show off that he's researched.  here, it was "your birthday is the same as the day they launched the show. any significance to that?"  that, like all of those similar ones that he tries to come up with for his guests, comes off to me more of "look what I found" than an interesting thread to pull on for discussion.

     

    it's a weird thing to complain about but they always seem teacher's-pet-ish to me and designed to get the guest to be impressed by him.  

     

    Thank you.  His show is great, but the amount of attention he gets for allegedly being a great interview is absurd.

    I am flying tomorrow and a shitload over the next 2 weeks. I just noticed I don’t have TSA Precheck because my Global Entry expired - no email warning or anything.
    I already applied for renewal today and hoping I get something like this.
    It’s been more than a decade since I traveled without precheck. Crazy. Back of the line with the plebs.


    my last five times flying out of Austin the regular line has been significantly shorter than pre check. Most bailed on pre check to go over to the regular line.

    The absurdity of this thread is how serious people are taking it. Derka was not arrested and shipped off to Siberia until Stalin has a change of heart. The user account shadow_operative was disabled. That's it.

    To the posters questioning the Derka ban and wondering how all of the other posters keep coming back.

    This place doesn't have walls to keep people out. Anyone can be banned and then stroll back in 5 minutes later.


    we know. That’s why the ban was stupid. 

  4. What a disaster this week. I know several people who missed flights despite being hours early. 
     

    I flew out Monday and it was my first time using the pre check way down on the left. It took longer than regular. People were leaving the pre check line to go through regular security. Took my ten minutes to get to the front and then fifteen for my bag to get through.

    To be fair, it's next to impossible for board admins to get rid of someone that knows how to use a VPN. IP banning someone was only foolproof back when no one knew anything about the Internet.

     

    agreed. So what’s the point of banning derka in a VPN era?

    banning him is stupid even without vpn.   He’s a net positive and I used to neg him constantly. People can change. 
     

    Motown should be banned simply for Motown referring to Morgantown and not Detroit.

  6. I'm not trolling at all, I'm genuinely curious if collecting things is still fun in the age of the internet?  When you can sit on the toilet and google stamps or cards or used japanese panties...whatever you want you don't have to actually put effort like before the web. 

    I'm just wondering.  I have a hankering sometimes to start collecting, but the existence of ebay dampers my enthusiasm a bit.
