  1. Pffft... Birds aren't real... They're government drones. So this is obviously a cyber attack on the US.
  2. I live on NPI and Paul's (both in Port A and on the Bluff) are where pretty much all the locals I know go... I don't know if the Polly Anna is still there in the Port A marina, but it was great for fresh shrimp. They would go out overnight and have FRESH shrimp the next morning and it was priced GREAT! But, IIRC they were in the marina during Harvey so not sure how they fared. Haven't been by the marina in awhile.
  3. Sips gotdammit! Sips! We dropped the t when we changed from A&M College to Texas A&M. Sheesh... Randolph Duke out front should have told you.😉
  4. Come on...he can't be an Ag. 🤚 We don't let black people in unless they can play sportsball...and he doesn't look like he played sportsball. smdh The above is a joke for those people who don't understand it.
  5. Which AX is this on? Are you saying you can use the AX at Walmart AND Exxon? My GF and I don't drive that much anymore since we moved to Corpus (we live on the island and work in the Bluff). I may do 8K miles a year and she's about 10K. But, we both drive Jeeps so the mpg blows ass. But, doing some quick math that looks to also be about $120/yr for me.
  6. We've got a meth head on the corner of Waldron and SPID in Corpus that walks around like that.
  7. Yes. You can get usually get the Platinum even if you have the Gold. Although sometimes it'll want you to upgrade - don't do that since you won't get the bonus. I don't know if it's still available but the BA Chase card was offering 100K Avios earlier this year. Not sure on the AA cards.
  8. So, what kind of card? General Travel? Airline Miles? Hotel Points? And what AMEX? They have a bunch.
  9. Ok...cool. Like I said, I've never been there but I know it's in the shit show area of the east coast so I wasn't sure. I saw another one through ORD after I posted this that's a little bit shorter flight with a longer layover. I've been through ORD so I know it better. Although the hub/spoke design of the "terminals" sucks if your gates are both at the end of the spokes. I may take that one one. It wasn't available when And it sucks that when I get there, I still have an hr drive to Rome, NY. I told my admin that I wanted a hotel in Syracuse for the last day (can't get home the last day of the conference from there, no flights that late). Flight out is 0700 and I am NOT driving an hour from Rome to SYR to catch that fucking flight. Good thing is I'll get to my house about 1230 on Friday so the day drinking can commence.
  10. I've got a flight coming up to SYR. I've looked at a couple options and the one that looks best (i.e. shortest) is: DFW->DCA->SYR. But, there's only a 45 min layover in DCA. I've never been through that airport so I can't judge if that's long enough. I'll just have my backpack with me so I don't have to lug a bigger carryon. Any experienced DCA folks here to help me out? If this was at DFW I wouldn't have a problem with that no matter which terminal I landed it and had to take off from but for all I know DCA could be a nightmare. I'll be flying AA fwiw.
  11. I worked for decades on legacy FORTRAN code. Some the the code was probably written before I was born in 1968. GOTOs all over the place. Any time I saw one I rewrote the code to remove it. FORTRAN 77 gave you the ELSE statement. No need to continue on with FORTRAN 66 (IV) anymore. Let. It. Die. While I like Italian food, I do NOT like Spaghetti Code...
  12. Do NOT encourage the continued used of GOTO. Just don't. It needs to die a painful death.
  13. GOTO is an abomination before the Lord.
  14. I thought it was all ball bearings nowadays...
  15. Well...LUV was able to skirt the Wright Amendment LONG before 2015. I flew LUV from DAL to LAX and ONT back in the late 80s/early 90s. Had to stop in one of the neighboring states on the way, but still made it there.
  16. A good starting point would be to use the exceptions to free speech that have been established by SCOTUS with most everything else allowed. This could basically restrict threats. And if the speech from the klan wouldn't be considered out of bounds by the SCOTUS, well ok. Let them spew their stupidity. Allow users to curate what they want to view and they can block the klan tweets from showing up in their feed. Sure, the klan speech sucks and is hateful...but tomorrow, who's to say that the powers that be don't find what YOU say to be sucky and hateful...
  17. We go to St Martin every year for Christmas and try to take at least one more international trip each year (Belize this year). We go through MIA often. And I know what you mean with GE - I see the lines I'm in and watch the GE people waltz right through. Each year I swear I'm going to get it because of that. Then, I forget and...now I'm back in MIA bitching to myself that I didn't do it. And it's not cost. I get Clear because my Amex pays for it. I also could get credit for GE or Pre, too.
  18. I wasn't thinking going to the airport (although I didn't know that about GE). I live in Corpus, so it would be a 2 hr trip just to do the interview. And I'd have to make sure my GF can schedule at the same time. Kinda wish I'd done it when I lived in DFW but I was lazy.
  19. Clear is the shit. Especially in MCO. TSA Pre and Gen Pop are both full. Clear? Just walk up, scan your eyes and you're past the TSA bouncer and putting your bag on the security conveyor belt. In fact, every place that's had Clear that I've been in, the Clear line is non existent to get through to the conveyor belt. NOW...TSA Pre DOES get you the don't take your shoes off shit AFTER clearing the TSA bouncer. So I need to get it too, sometime. But I think I have to drive to SA to do the interview, which would suck.
