  1. When I first heard of Boom I gave it a 0% chance of happening. Maybe... maybe this raises it to 1.5%, but not because of the United "purchase" (I'm sure it's full of easy ways out). Boom has a chance at a chance IF they can build some kind of investment frenzy (like Nikola and many others have--but in more conventional spaces and following a successful example) and then actually put that capital into creating a workable product (unlike Nikola, let's just video our mockup rolling down a hill...) maybe. But naming the company after the feature (sonic booms) that helped derail wide adoption and also the image of an aircraft exploding already shows poor judgement, imho. I'm actually more interested in this aircraft, it has so much potential, especially the bigger version electrically powered when batteries get just a little better, perhaps to link all the smaller airports in socal/southwest. A new Pacific Southwest Airlines... https://www.ottoaviation.com/celera-500l But it's not nearly as sexy as the, what, dozenth time we've been told a new Super Sonic Transport is around the corner, really this time! And we have the bonus of it being an upstart instead of, you know, Boeing who's failed at the next SST 3 or more times now...?
  2. Your bank REALLY should not be giving this error!!!
  3. Yeah, figured it was something like this but wanted to make sure you knew.
  4. Ewwwwww, the last thing I want to see in my porn is santorum and that makes Santorum the second to last thing!
  5. Am I supposed to stop using boytoy.com? This isn't new, I just figured at some point it'd stop and it hasn't. I'm sure some won't know to go into Advanced and ignore it to get here. Also, speaking of other site name issues, the description for this forum invokes Gay Thailand...? This is the forum to make comments and suggestion for the team here at GayThailand.com. Help us to make the site better.
  6. "We" don't. She broke some ground and humanized gays to millions, but I barely gave a shit before she fired all her staff for cheaper scabs and the tsunami of negative info about her crested. Since then... do. not. give. a. fuck.
  7. I kinda liked the new Marvel shows too, Falcon and the Brooding Bottom, Wandavision. Sadly I lost my hookup to watching it for free before Loki comes out which is likely to be the best of the three.
  8. Fingers crossed Trump will tell them to inject it!
  9. While there's a lot of right-wing dipshits (redundant...) decrying vaccine passports as "show me your papers" it's well within the rights of private business to require. I've already signed up for a local vaccinated-only bar and there's some stuff in the state guidelines for re-opening specifically allowing far greater numbers at things like movies if the group is vaccinated. The pro-vaccination crowd has long missed out on the positive message of what all you can do again once vaccinated.

    So tragic!

    With all the Covid deaths lately, this is particularly sad to see...
  11. Thought this was sad too, but supposedly they will continue to work together on the foundation.
  12. Pretty sure they'll revamp the iMacPro and have it be 27", maybe without the awful chin too. At this point their CPUs are a slam-dunk if you want a mac, so probably worth waiting for.
  13. Also be very clear on how any financial advice you're getting is being paid for. Is the Financial Advisor contracted to a FIDUCIARY duty to you (recommended)? Or are they going to just be *selling* you whatever gives them the best commission?
  14. I just flew for the first time in a year or so, am very familiar with Boeing's issues and aviation in general, and wouldn't have minded if the 737-8 I took for one of the flights had been a Max. Just like crime stats, there are blips people get all passionate about but the decline in incidents and deaths in my lifetime has been MASSIVE and is now so low as to be nearly infinitesimal. The Max engineering was crappy, and may still need some addressing, but was only catastrophic in combination with developing-world airlines. I'd say choosing a US, Canadian, or western-Europe flag carrier (several of whom had the MCAS issue in-flight but dealt with it fine) has a much greater impact on the percentages than avoiding whatever the currently infamous aircraft is, and even so it's still far less danger than driving to the airport or even walking around your neighborhood crossing streets.

    Nespresso

    I have one I bought when I was working in another town, but now that I'm back home I haven't set it up yet. My Tassimo still works and the pods are cheaper. But Tassimo is on the decline so when the machine breaks or I can't find the pods I like I'll switch to Nespresso. Both Tassimo and Nespresso are head and shoulders above Keurig because they're capable of actually pressure and don't taste like you dribbled hot water through a couple grains of coffee inside melting plastic... Another benefit to Nespresso is the all-metal pods are very recyclable and the company helps with that directly. Compared to everybody "wishcycling" their other pods and probably just contaminating other recyclables. Of course a grinder and espresso machine is even better, but the Nespresso comes close enough for me. I like to make a red-eye or two every morning (coffee plus a shot of espresso) and it's a bit expensive with Nespresso but tastes good. And even if you just like a simple cup of coffee, the Virtuo pod line has a lot of selections, very easy, and really does taste better than Keurig. The only benefit Keurig has is price/availability.
