The CLAAAAWWWW!

So, does anyone have an idea of where on Earth we’re looking at?

Anytime I look at images from the ISS, I try to identify cities, landmarks, or even a cardinal direction. I’m not very good at it…

You mean Jimmy Buffett?

His own Margaritaville bar and restaurant also makes an appearance, with an Isla Nublar location appearing on the theme park’s main concourse. When pterosaurs are let loose on the park’s unsuspecting visitors, the crowd runs in terror. This includes Mr. Buffett fleeing the bar — but he also makes sure to save two precious margaritas, one in each hand, as he flees.

Ha! That took me a little longer than I care to admit, but I actually lol’d.

Epples and benenes?

So… What’s a good alternative?

The available worlds looked pretty grim. They had little to offer him because he had little to offer them. He had been extremely chastened to realize that although he originally came from a world which had cars and computers and ballet and Armagnac, he didn’t, by himself, know how any of it worked. He couldn’t do it. Left to his own devices he couldn’t build a toaster. He could just about make a sandwich and that was it.

-Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

Arthur Dent realizes that he, as an individual, is pretty useless for improving a society, but he can make a damn fine sammie.

Ok, I guess I’ll be that guy. Every time they are mentioned, it’s always people proseltyzing. It made me consider one, but I never pulled the trigger. All of the arguments I heard felt kind of unconvincing, and I couldn’t justify buying one without trying it first.

Then I bought a house, and it came with two of them. I was excited to try them out and see what all of the fuss was about. The thing is… The ones I have suck. Now, one of them seems to have weak pressure, so it could just be a bad one. However, the other one feels like it’s trying to clean the back of my teeth, and it still doesn’t do anything I couldn’t do with paper. Sure, it might get the job done slightly faster, but I still need to use paper to at least dry off after I’m done.

Maybe a better one could change my mind, but for us, they sit there, mostly unused.

“feature” 🤮

So their actions didn’t matter in the end.

Point of order: Just because the end result was the same, doesn’t mean it didn’t matter.

ETA? Estimated Time of Arrival?

In this context, it means “Edited To Add”. I do wish they abbreviated it some other way, since “Estimated Time of Arrival” is a much more common meaning. I would accept “E2A” or something stupid, as long as it was more unique. Alternatively, they could just use “Edit:”.

Edit: added link.

I can tell you about the last time I flew Spirit airlines. I was on vacation in a place with really nice weather. Back home also had really nice weather, and it was basically clear skies all the way in between.

However, there was a hurricane in Florida.

Spirit canceled my return flight about 12 hours in advance, and booked me on a flight for the next day. Never mind that my hotel reservation ended in a few hours, so I didn’t have a place to stay or a rental car planned for the extra day. They said they didn’t have to offer me anything because it was “weather related”, on account of the hurricane that was literally more than a thousand miles away from either my departure or arrival airports.

Would a different airline have handled it differently? I don’t know. I’ve had other airlines do a better job rerouting me after a cancellation, but the conditions were different. Regardless, I’ll not be giving Spirit any more of my money.

Don’t worry. Scientists will fix this once and for all in 2620.
