The travel and atlas threads below just reminded me that I want to get wall maps for A to pin the places she’s been to. -- nm - znufrii, promoted Mar 3, 09:20 3
- We got our daughter one when she was like 11 or so. She still enjoys putting the pins in. -- nm - spamlet Mar 3, 09:27
- I have one in my office from my son's bedroom when we moved. I really enjoyed it (not sure how much the kids did) but it was great to have on the wall -- nm* - oblique Mar 3, 09:21 1
  - ~40 years ago in Winnipeg I had one that was 14' x 10' (in 9 segments) on my bedroom wall. -- nm - mud Mar 3, 09:23
Detective Pika-Two -- (link) - Beryllium Mar 3, 09:14 1
- APPROVED! Give this man a writing credit! -- nm - Mop Mar 3, 09:19
This person gets it! -- (link) - ty97 Mar 3, 09:13 4
- slightly less crazy than booking 50 nights at the nearby Hyatt Regency to get globalist status. Yes, I have a spreadsheet that covers this -- (edited) - oblique Mar 3, 09:19 3
  - This person gets it! -- nm - ty97 Mar 3, 09:26 2
    - this person doesn't. -- nm - mud Mar 3, 09:27
    - (My Chase points got me an oceanfront hotel room in Maui, so I like my Chase points) -- nm - ty97 Mar 3, 09:27
I hate this dishonest framing of reporting -- (link*) - znufrii, promoted Mar 3, 09:04 2
- Suzanne Scott is gonna take the fall the same way Rebekah Jones did for the phone hacking scandal in the UK. poor powerless Rupert Murdoch - hollywood big shot Mar 3, 09:19
- In other news, Rupert must have *really* pissed off trump with that deposition… -- nm - znufrii, promoted Mar 3, 09:07
I've listened to nothing but De La Soul this morning. I still got into a fight with a driver who stepped out of his car to argue and then saw the - Krusty Mar 3, 08:55 2
- I mean Newfies can be pretty intimidating -- (link) - Reagen Mar 3, 09:02 [youtube] 1
  - Closed captioning couldn't help with those guys. -- nm - Krusty Mar 3, 09:10
Note to self: Don't share certain travel details with ST. -- nm - ty97 Mar 3, 08:50 27
- did i miss it somewhere? How many hours total is that travel? -- nm - Andie Mar 3, 09:24
- we kid cause we love. and are also a little worried. -- nm* - Reagen Mar 3, 08:53 1
  - Hate the game, not the player! -- nm - ty97 Mar 3, 09:01
- Not to nitpick: By any stretch there's no way that flight was the most cost effective. A one-way car rental *has* to be cheaper and take 1/8th time -- nm - oblique Mar 3, 08:51 11
  - No question, driving would been cheaper and much faster. I hate that drive. -- (edited) - ty97 Mar 3, 08:57 10
    - That's honestly very interesting. 4 hours of driving to me would be immensely more decompressing than all those flights -- nm - oblique Mar 3, 08:58 9
      - Ditto. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 3, 09:09
      - I drive on long trip when/if I have to but I don't really love it. And I dislike *this* drive in particular. -- (edited) - ty97 Mar 3, 08:59 7
        
        Maybe you should learn to sail :) -- nm - oblique Mar 3, 09:03 6
        
        From...southwest Florida to ....central Florida..... -- nm - ty97 Mar 3, 09:10 4
        
        Says the guy flying through Newark from southwest florida to get to central florida -- nm - oblique Mar 3, 09:12 3
        
        That was the old itinerary before the weather waiver. No Newark involved now! -- (edited) - ty97 Mar 3, 09:14 2
        
        see, you don't sail to the middle. you sail close by and drive the rest (presumably not on I-75) :) -- nm - oblique Mar 3, 09:20 1
        
        How am I going to fit a car in a sailboat Kilbo?! -- nm - ty97 Mar 3, 09:23
        
        Might be tough to fight the gulfstream, but I guess the ICW is sort of an option -- nm - Beryllium Mar 3, 09:09
- one question: did Southwest have a direct route? -- nm* - crash davis Mar 3, 08:51 11
  - They used to have a non-stop, I think they ended it. - ty97 Mar 3, 08:56
  - crash, the first rule of TyTravels is that we dont talk about Southwest. - tRuMaNaNaNaNa Mar 3, 08:51 9
    - They could cancel 2 days worth of flights and still be quicker than this ordeal. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 3, 08:55 8
      - This may be the disconnect between ST and me. I don't see this an ordeal. -- (edited) - ty97 Mar 3, 08:58 7
        
        I guess airplane flights to you are like me going to a movie. Or maybe a drive. -- nm - Spawn Mar 3, 09:04 2
        
        I imagine one day someone will explain to me why it is he is flying. All. The. Time. Year. Round. - mud Mar 3, 09:08 1
        
        I only flew 74 segments last year! -- nm - ty97 Mar 3, 09:10
        
        I could drive there or get a puddle jumper and read and watch movies for the duration you’re still in the air - Will Hunting Mar 3, 09:03 3
        
        This isn't anything I would normally do, but I had to cancel a bunch of flights/plans the past month due to Dad's accident. -- (edited) - ty97 Mar 3, 09:06 1
        
        We get it, you are jonesing for a fix. -- nm - Spawn Mar 3, 09:22
        
        It is the removal from responsibility, I think. -- nm - Spawn Mar 3, 09:04
this made me laugh -- (pic) - prayformojo Mar 3, 08:49 [Attachment] 2

  - oooh, good I have some watching to do this weekend! -- nm - prayformojo Mar 3, 08:44
I do enjoy watching Jon Stewart do these interviews/debates. -- (link) - pmb Mar 3, 08:26 3
- At what point does this guy realize "I've made a terrible mistake." ??? -- nm - Mop Mar 3, 08:31 2
  - 3 Second after they started the interview. -- nm - pmb Mar 3, 08:49 1
    - shooting fish in a gerrymandered barrel that will never change a single vote in these clowns' safe districts -- nm - hollywood big shot Mar 3, 09:22
Type "grogu" into Google. -- nm - Mop Mar 3, 08:20 2

tech help question inside - tRuMaNaNaNaNa Mar 3, 08:18 4
- Is something connected to a VPN & routing all traffic that way? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 3, 08:24 1
  - unless that software is doing that automagically, I dont think so -- nm - tRuMaNaNaNaNa Mar 3, 08:51
- my first guess would be what you say in your IM. Sounds like something is proxying all the content externally so internet stuff works but local stuff - oblique Mar 3, 08:21
- I’m guessing it’s the malware locking everything down other than what it needs to survive. - spamlet Mar 3, 08:21
Lavrov making jokes in New Delhi - Jovian Mar 3, 08:16 1

- Laundry, shopping, Creed III, Sushi, Reception at theatre where I'm a Board member, play, Sunday church gig. In that order. -- nm - Diva Mar 3, 08:35
- Daughter home for spring break. Dinner with son for his birthday. Houseguest tomorrow from our trip to KY. Church stuff. Theater tonight probably -- nm - oblique Mar 3, 08:34
- Flying (very indirectly) to Orlando. -- nm - ty97 Mar 3, 08:32 30
  - but WHY are you going to orlando? -- nm - judge indianapolis jones Mar 3, 08:56
  - should we guess? JFK to Chicago to Orlando. -- nm - Andie Mar 3, 08:33 28
    - I'm actually at my parents in Florida right now. - ty97 Mar 3, 08:35 27
      - Dude. WTF. -- nm - sycor Mar 3, 08:49

      - LOL -- nm - spamlet Mar 3, 08:42 2
        
        This was only like 30% more in price than simply flying RSW-ORD-MCO, which was one of the cheap options. - ty97 Mar 3, 08:46 1
        
        It would be silly not to. - spamlet Mar 3, 08:55
      - It wasn't supposed to be like this. -- (edited) - ty97 Mar 3, 08:39
      - dude. -- nm - Diva Mar 3, 08:36 1
        
        Not even close to the craziest thing I've done -- nm - ty97 Mar 3, 08:37
      - I have questions. Couldn't you walk there faster? -- nm* - oblique Mar 3, 08:36 13
        
        I'm trying to see the northern lights. - ty97 Mar 3, 08:37 12
        
        Seriously? -- nm - Krusty Mar 3, 08:59 2
        
        Haha, no. Just joking with kilbo. There would be no lights on this trip. -- nm - ty97 Mar 3, 09:00 1
        
        So your plan sounds slightly less insane now. -- nm - Krusty Mar 3, 09:11
        
        I mean, I do crazy things for points but there's a limit -- nm - oblique Mar 3, 08:39 8
        
        Oh of course. - ty97 Mar 3, 08:39 7
        
        What's the total travel time? -- nm - oblique Mar 3, 08:41 6
        
        3.1250 days -- nm - Spawn Mar 3, 08:46
        
        ummmm - ty97 Mar 3, 08:45 4
        
        Google: Drive time: 3h 44m. Bus time through Miami: 10h 38m (the bus beats you). Biking: 16h 23m. Walking: 56hr. - oblique Mar 3, 08:48 2
        
        Sure, but how many segments does that give me?! - ty97 Mar 3, 08:49 1
        
        Just tell the ambulance your home is Orlando. It’ll be quicker still. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 3, 08:53
