Btw I know we are all just trading takes here but if you ever realize you’re about to miss a flight, you should call the airline immediately— in some cases, your flight credit goes down to zero as soon as the flight departs.
This was so much more fun to think about than the work I should be doing right now. It’s like a more casual version of wheels vs. doors.

If we’re gonna get all Airplane of Theseus here, Boeing assembles their planes at a facility with a 9000ft runway. So, in the same vein, their new ones arrive as parts, not a full plane, but they do depart as one.
they finally made a slurp juice you can enjoy alongside your apes
My brother in Christ, you’re correct.
But then the old ones depart when they’re decommissioned! So it seems like it actually hinges on whether or not more planes have crashed than are currently in service.
“Poochie died on the way back to his home planet" is a famous, abrupt, and hand-written intertitle from The Simpsons episode "The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show" (Season 8, Episode 14).
God, that 1812-1968 timeline is so funny to me… like, the story meeting where they’d written themselves into a corner and slowly realized that without a macguffin, they’d have to dress the Minions in gray and team up with Jefferson Davis or some shit. Followed by, well, you know.
Wait, I mean BESIDES every time I’m visiting my dad in his 70s and he knows what time my flight home departs.
Look, I’m team “Clear Security As My Zone Is Called” all day… but I have to point out that this “moral condemnation” generally only crops up when someone else on our team shoots first à la Mr. Barro.
Recent construction and TSA delays notwithstanding, PDX has, historically, been a breeze for an airport of its size. My personal best car-to-gate record is 11 minutes, *including* the economy parking shuttle.
I did once have to throw away a decent pocketknife I because I didn’t realize the airline wouldn’t check bags <60 minutes before takeoff.
But I did still have plenty of time to board and didn’t miss my flight, so I guess it still counts? 🤷♂️
As a parent, it’s funny… this trend was indeed a mildly concerning distraction when this article was written (2019).
But then came 2020.
My kids were 10 & 8 when school went remote & suddenly, shared Google Docs became a vital social network (to the kids) & an unwinnable battle (to the adults).
You never know. Maybe the stoneworker was on a deadline and waited all day for supplies, only to have the wrong carriage return.
We used to have Birkenhope, Birkenjobs…
Huh. I’ve never thought about the fact that, at pickup, the groomers *always* gush how friendly/happy my dogs are with them. That makes so much more sense now, sadly.

Is the badge reversible? That was my #1 design principle when I used to make conference badges.
Same. The street food there was amazing during the Sakura festival!
Angry goose me shouting which record??

When they first came out, my son took offense to me shitting on them constantly.
“But I think they look really cool!”
“You’re 100% supposed to, kid; you’re 12.”
This is just @scottaukerman.bsky.social’s “even knowing the name of the movie is a spoiler” bit, but for books.
Yeah, like, if you’re expecting the fact-check desk at TV Guide in 1974 to be anything but a bag of cocaine and some cold fried chicken studded with cigarette butts, I don’t know what to tell you.
Who dies surrounded by friends. Hey Mike come over I'm dying
Wait, I figured out the twist… turns out it’s actually a sinister lab tech who figured out the false-positives were contamination long before the detective did and used that as the perfect cover to become a contract killer on the dark web.
I would love to read a thriller following a detective who figures this out 3/4 of the way through but then discovers the “Phantom” has inspired a copycat killer that they now need to hunt.
Sounds like the Phantom of Heilbronn has resurfaced… very sneaky. 🤣
