[quote]Kessler[/quote] You and Jody are killing me. It's Keesler. Grew up on that base. All the old WWII barracks were there into the 90s. They were sketch as hell on the inside after so many years. I saw this movie as a kid, and perhaps it is nostalgia but I always liked it....
[quote]But the increase in homes being sold at prices over the long-term average was noticeably higher in a handful of Southern states.[/quote] I read this as these states had the highest [i]increase[/i] in homes that are now overvalued. Not that these states have the most overvalued homes....
[quote]What does being a decent airline or not have to do with turbulence?[/quote] He's talking about which airport in Bangkok the flight diverted to. Bangkok has two of them. DMK is the old main airport. BKK is the newer one where all the big carriers fly into. The budget airlines use DMK....
Of course it wasn't DMK. :lol:...

[quote]Don't think there is a rhyme or reason to SWs adding in-seat power to their fleet. I've flown dozens of times since the announcement they were doing this and haven't come across a single one.[/quote] Per the Internet, only 18 of their planes have it, but all new Max planes delivered wil...

[quote]See the Lion Air crash. They wrote up bad sensors repeatedly on that plane and ignored it repeatedly. You would absolutely never have that here.[/quote] Ya, the first pilots who dealt with it were able to get the plane down safely. It was the next crew, who had no idea about the previous f...

Maybe a smaller charger like this may fit the bill? I used these in Japan last month. Didn't carry a backpack anywhere and didn't want that bigger slab battery on me either. I never go full bore on a phone in flight so it may not have enough juice for you. [link=(https://a.co/d/9j15HMR)]Anker ...
Eh, My wife and I went to India. They are absolutely fascinated by white people. We took dozens of photos with locals :lol: The men also probably copped a feel as well, since they know they aren't supposed to but think they can with foreigners....
[quote]What’s holding me back is leaving a LCOL state to make less money.[/quote] Depending on career field of course, but the benefits of a robust job market with lots of opportunity will offset this within about 2 years max....
[quote]Worst small airport- Paducah Ky[/quote] I've been here! Gate 1 on the boarding pass! One gate! My Uber was a pickup truck driven by a local firefighter, who riffed about how everyone who lives there gets cancer. :lol:...
[quote]Is Shreveport Regional the worst airport in the world?[/quote] Flew into Hoedspruit Airport. It's basically a cottage on an air force base. Baggage claim is outside in front. First luggage crate came around with a tractor pulling it. Apparently, that was the only one, as some poor basta...
Funny enough. If you get to these Insta locations before 10am, but definitely before 9am, they aren't bad at all. Unless it is a spot known for a sunrise. Then you're just screwed. :lol:...
[quote]I know it’s over 100k, but not sure I want to look to see how much over[/quote] $112,000 since 2009. All personal. I didn't have a real job until almost 2012 so it gets even worse. I'd bet a majority of that is last 10 years and very little in the first five years....

[quote]It won't even pass the House. I understand that the definition of "impeachable offense or high crime and misdemeanor" is ultimately whatever the House of Representatives says it is. However, are we really going to start impeaching people over what is a policy decision indisputably within t...
[quote]Its my one constant while travelling. Anyone with LSU apparel gets a hefty "Geaux Tigers".[/quote] I've stopped. Apparently there are people who randomly wear gear they have no affiliation with at all and make me feel like I'm the weirdo striking up a conversation or assuming they may know...
