  4. It's because there are some entry/exits that do not have them. I thought it was strange they would not place them at the entry/exits that already have booths, which meant there was already power/communication there, instead of building them on the highways between exits, which meant they had to get power and communication run out there. Maybe it was just easier to build them elsewhere, since toll booth areas might cover 3-5 lanes, where the gantry only needs to cover 2 lanes.
  5. In my 30+ years of having an EZ-Pass, I have never received an automated speeding ticket from their system, though it would be easy enough to implement.
  6. Squid Games, season 2, coming Dec 26th.
  7. Like Cowboys fans? That's actually the rush for their Standing Room Only areas.

  9. One of our local hospitals uses a DOS based program to operate their elevators.
  10. I've seen videos of these people on TikTok, usually it's just bending a plate back into shape, or removing tape someone put over a number or letter on the plate itself.

  12. Did they have Russian/Soviet judges that year? That was the year the Soviets boycotted, because the USA boycotted Moscow in 1980.
  13. Spoilers at the link... All the Deadpool and Wolverine easter eggs and inside jokes you might have missed (pocket-lint.com)
  14. Just remembered something. When I had a card replaced because it expired, all my revolving accounts that use that number, were still able to charge it, before I could change the info to the new expiration date. Even my Apple Wallet automatically updated to the new card, even before I received it in the mail.
  15. … Oh, mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head And as I climb into an empty bed Oh well, enough said I know it's over, still I cling I don't know where else I can go, over
  16. Can anyone spare some for Kim Jong Un? North Korean officials looking for medicines for Kim's obesity-related health problems, Seoul says - ABC News (go.com)
  17. I've heard of people getting the Visa/MC pre-paid gift cards and using those for payment. Never tried it myself.
  18. I keep both the Uber and Lyft apps on my phone. Lyft I've found is typically a bit cheaper, but cheaper does not mean as good/better. My experience is Lyft drivers have older vehicles and questionable drivers. For example, arriving at my home airport, I check Uber pricing after we landed, but before getting off the plane, and for a ride home (about a 15 minute drive since it was after 11pm at night, but three flights all come arrive in a 15-20 time span) was going to be over $70. Lyft was about $30. Checking again at baggage claim, Uber was now over $80, Lyft had only gone up to $35, so I booked Lyft. My driver, I don't remember what his vehicle was, but I get in and it smelled like pot, and the whole trip to my house, he's on speaker phone with some friend of his, constantly saying "n-word this", "F that", etc. But hey, I saved $50.
  19. If there's not an open practice listed on the schedule, like this Wednesday, assume it's a closed practice.
  20. I had a flight years ago and overheard the FAs talking to each other while I was boarding that there was only one empty seat that flight. I knew from watching the seat map (on the Delta app) that the one next to me had been shown as empty. Lucky me, that was the empty seat that flight.
  21. Anyone done both the virtual and in person presentations? I still can't make an in person (who decided M-F, 9-5 only is an idiot) so I'm set up for a virtual next week. Just wondering if I should still try to go to the in-person later. Right now I'm 95% certain I'm not going to renew, so going to the site is not a priority, just wondering if it's cool enough to check out anyways.
  22. Baggage claim - No need to get right on top of the carousel, you're not going to get your bag any faster. If I had my way, I'd put a line about 3 feet out from the edge of the belt, and have people stand behind it, until you see your bag. TSA PreCheck® | Transportation Security Administration ($78) or if you're close to the Canadian border... NEXUS | U.S. Customs and Border Protection (cbp.gov) (includes PreCheck, just $50 till this October, then it goes to $120, but the card is good for 5 years)
  23. You think that’s bad, try flying on a Canadian airline. The FAs will make you take your headphones off and tell you to listen to their safety briefing. Listen FA Florence, I’ve flown enough to know how to get out of a plane that just hit a moose, it’s the same as our freedom loving, do what you want, we don’t care, US based airplanes.
