Chromadrome 2. A PC game about simply controlling a small blob-thing speeding down a straight path with holes and other obstacles and keeping it away from them. Sorry of a precursor to mobile games such as subway surfer or whatever they are called. Never met someone who heard about it even though it made it’s way onto Steam many years later.

My girlfriend in high school introduced me to Fishing with John and it’s comedy gold. Way before Tim and Eric and all the other absurdist comedy shows. I highly recommend it!

metaStatic, in Lets start a new Lemmy holiday tradition. What's a song you've been digging lately?

Literally found this looking for a song I've heard on the radio and it's my new favorite thing

Hoodie X James K - Scorpio 'Unofficial' MV

and the thing I was looking for was Tiffi - Hoodie it's a whole vibe and not my usual music taste

If its pressured then never or no is my usual response. If its more situational then I might do now.

Tank Girl! It’s a movie I have loved for so long. Makes me cry with laughter. Got my wife and son to watch it and was promptly banned from picking movies for family viewing for like 4 months. That did not take away my love for the film.

Avoided so many scam, so i’d say it’s going great!

  • Oderus,

    These are stellar tips.

    I would add avoid alcohol before and during the flight and noise cancelling headphones.

    Also, apply for GOES or the trusted travel program. Nexus for Canadians.

    I love traveling with my Nexus card. Never have to wait in line ever.

    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.

    Oderus,

    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.

    Seriously, apply for one.

    No matter how much experience you have as a pilot. You should always use checklists for routine operations and emergencies.

    Potatos_are_not_friends,

    Checklists have proven time and time again to be incredibly effective.

    For years, doctors refused to use them because it was an insult to their intelligence. But the results showed, and doctors still refused. Then insurance happened and surprise surprise, doctors now use checklists.

    If my experience at airports / on air planes is any indication, best tip I have is… don’t.

    Philo, (edited ) in What are your best flight tips and tricks?

    Don’t fly because airports have some kind of secret knowledge that they keep from us ordinary folk. Why do you think they call it “TERMINAL” parking? It’s like they can’t resist throwing it in our faces.
