It’s $50 every 5 years. As someone who’s sat in border lines nearly 2 hours long, it was an easy buy. The eased up security in American airports is just a cherry on top.
I do sometimes feels like I’m selling Nexus cards because it’s so amazing, I want everyone to have the same experience.
I once flew into Victoria BC, Canada. Airport is really small so they don’t have a dedicated Nexus line like they do for major airports. I walked up to the guard at the front of the line and asked, ‘where’s the Nexus line?’ and he said to the crowd of people waiting, ‘wait here. I’ll be right back’ and then told me to follow him. He lead me to the front of the line like some movie star or big shot and everyone was eyeballing me like wtf is this guy. They tell people to move back to make room for me, right before the scanners and I just slink my way to the front with all eyes on me. As the guard leaves, I said, ‘I have a Nexus card… $50 for 5 years, it’s totally worth it’.
Prior to having a Nexus, I once nearly missed a flight due to airport issues, not because I was late and the stress alone was worth $50 per flight, let alone $50 for 5 damn years. Even better? Americans pay $100 USD for 5 years and we only pay $50 CAD.
Either windows 95 or 98 I used to play this game my mom set up for me but doesn’t remember. Now she needs my help to plug in a USB cable but somehow has a job that uses software and procedures too complicated for me… Anyway I can remember if it was entirely this or just part of it, but the memorable part was the sliding puzzles, like the ice caves in Pokemon. The character might have had skates or something but it’s a vague memory that could be wrong.
and google is releasing their own find-my-device alternative very soon (currently waiting for apple), so you could put something like a Chipolo tag in there, once they are released (they have bluetooth onces, but they don’t use the new network)
The fuck would i care if people fucking swear or not, as long as you don’t fucking target your fucking swear at others then you be fucking damn sure no one will fucking have any fucking problem with your fucking swear.
Because one of the luxuries of conducting discourse by post is that you have time to choose words that are more suited for your specific intention. When speaking, saying “fucking” is often simply a replacement for “uhh”. At least, it is for me.
How a sentence with swearing is perceived is wildly unpredictable. For example, “science: it works bitches” was a comic and tshirt by Randall Munroe. Not for a second when he wrote that did the sexist interpretation of “ladies, start trusting science” enter his head. I’m not saying that is a lesson in not swearing. I’m just saying swears tend to have loads of meanings, and they are hard to use unambiguously. In art, ambiguity is often key though. I am against censorship.
