  1. I have Kwikset smart locks. I can open and close remotely, I get a notification and a history of which door was opened with which code. I give the maids a new code each week. I set a new code on my phone from halfway across the country and text it to the the day they clean. When I get the notification that they left I delete that code. Easy installation and set up. Just logs into your wifi. I have lots of smart shit it none of it is connected to any whole home apps.
  2. I'm re-watching GOT with my son right now. It recently occured to me that I know all sorts of plot lines in early episodes before re-watching them but I have no fucking clue how the show ended. I watched it to the end but for the life of me I can't remember who got the throne and who all lived. That is a shitty fucking ending.
  3. I’m just glad our junkie population is so literate. It’s a battle trying to get my kids to spend more time at the library.
  4. This too: “TPWD said there’s no timetable for getting the plane out of the lake, but crews are securing the crash site “to reduce any environmental impacts.” Guy puts a plane in the drink and Austin’s response is to make sure it doesn’t harm all the dead bodies, deformed fish, and that one alleged alligator.
  5. I know exactly one heroin addict that I’m aware of. This person has been narcan’ed back to life multiple times. He is an absent deadbeat dad, a wife beater, and regularly commits life-threatening level violence only to serve a little time and get out early for the overcrowded prisons where he lives. He’s had 5 DUI’s and served a total of 28 days in jail after the last one, mostly served on weekends only. He has one adult child who is also an addict and a child molester. He also has one minor child with whom he only gets supervised visits yet still regularly manages to abuse emotionally. He is employed and enabled by his rich parents. Drivers license suspensions, garnered paychecks, criminal records etc, have zero effect on him. He is pure garbage and if I had the narcan in my hands while he OD’d I rather watch him die. I fully acknowledge that we can’t assume all addicts are like this guy. But if that’s the only type of addict you have experience with I can see how it takes a little effort to get there.
  6. Aviator airframes fit right under the helmet. Even though they can wear glasses, there are still limits to how bad their vision can be. I assume that limit is such that they could still safely fly the airplane if their glasses broke. I was required to fly with glasses on my person for many years before I actually started wearing them on my face. To be clear, I’m not a Navy pilot, I just work with a whole lot of them.
  7. That changed a long time ago. Pilots in every military branch can wear glasses as long as it’s correctable to 20/20. A few other stipulations as well. This includes even before beginning flight training. If your eyes deteriorate after flight training the standards are even more lax I think the Navy was actually the first to start allowing glasses and that was more than 30 years ago. The other services followed later.
  8. Yeah, we probably are looking at it from different angles. To me, getting to the x-ray machine quicker is all that matters. Taking off shoes and pulling out a laptop doesn’t bug me much if i got skip the long line. But I get that for others, the pre check lane is valuable for the whole shoes and laptops hassle.
  9. ^ That is the way to go. It’s not usually found on their website but Google turns up the link and it still works as of a couple weeks ago when there was another thread about Clear. Best part is that it works instantly after sign up. No need for a separate trip to the airport or a long waiting period. And in busy times Clear is way faster than Pre Check.
  10. Christ man. I think I speak for every reader of the thread when I say we were expecting something different. I mean, spoilering it was a good start, but maybe alert us that it’s going to be a naked octogenarian man so we know not to open it.
  11. I only eat the best French mustard. and Mayo is nasty. Fake, real, homemade, gourmet, whatever… just gross.
  12. I bet if you let any member of your family near it for any amount of time it will quickly be separated from the RV. One less thing to break later. If that fails roll it up onto the roof and look for a low bridge.
  13. This can’t be real. I mean, you’re making up stories for our entertainment now right? Carry on though, it’s working.
  14. I love the smell. Also love using the brisket ice chest for cold drinks. Kids complain that the the cans smell like brisket, I smile and nod.
  15. Do you really think it would mean that? Is there a cause and effect relationship here that only you can see but are unable to explain to anyone? Nobody here is accusing you of being an idiot because of what you would or would not trade in some alternate imaginary world. We think you’re an idiot because you keep insisting that two unrelated things are in fact dependent on each other. Your argument is akin to Cliff Clavin’s final answer on Jeopardy, only less witty.
  16. If Wulaw’s rig could talk…
  17. Lot's of us do. It's primarily known as a nice place to take a shit on road trips. Doesn't mean I'd brag about getting one on the Drag, but it does mean it fits right in at college station.
  18. Every scene with any dialogue with a person in a military uniform was completely fucking stupid and cringy. Loved every second of it though. Will see it again with my other kid soon. And JC… fuuuuuck. What else is there to say about her?
  19. Shit is rigged for the meatheads. Needs mile time and dead hang pull-ups amendment.
  20. You may have already talked about it upthread but what’s your pilot situation on that? Got some young guy building time? Older retired guy? Airlines are snapping up anyone with a pulse, can’t be easy to find someone right now I’d think. Or did I miss it and you fly it?
  21. What’s the worst that could happen with a bunch of drunk tourists having a quick release from the only thing keeping them aloft?
  22. Doesn’t look very fun anyway.
  23. I never park at the city parking lot, but Park n Zoom does valet. I’ve tried every one of the third-party parking lots and park n zoom is consistently the best service and fastest.
  24. I was going to Hruska's. My first thought too. Hruskas. Place is cringy as hell but has good food.
  25. I know nothing about the current state of the lines these days, but can the parents get the 30 day free trial on CLEAR? That still around?
