  - So happy to have The Last Leg back, love that show! Somehow I just learned about Not Going Out so I'll definitely check it out. Hopefully Lee is as -- (edited) - Krusty Jun 30, 05:57 2
    - He co-writes it. It's a mainstream sitcom so a lot of people dismiss it, but it's got an amazingly high gag rate which is why it's being going - LMS Jun 30, 06:32 1
      - I'll check it out when I get home this afternoon. -- nm - Krusty Jun 30, 06:37

my travel conundrum: Qatar/Air France with a two hour connection in Paris, or Qatar/Ethiopian with an overnight in Doha then through Addis? -- nm - mafic Jun 29, 23:47 7
- Paris it is. didn't notice the 50 minute connection in Addis on the way back. -- nm - mafic Jun 30, 00:12
- My first inclination would be Paris just because I'd expect the airport to be easier to navigate -- nm - oblique 🌈 Jun 29, 23:49 5
  - less than you'd think. CDG is pretty terrible, and Addis was fine the one trip I had through there. - mafic Jun 30, 00:00 4
    - CDG is not just terrible - it has been voted *worst*, more than once. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 30, 00:37 3
      - That terminal at CDG is horrible, and it's an efficient way of getting rid of your luggage. -- nm - loosilu Jun 30, 05:50 1
        
        Yeah, my rule is don’t check bags when you go to West Africa. It just makes everything way easier. -- nm - mafic Jun 30, 05:57

As expected. Wife's connecting flight from JAX to ORD via CLT is delayed and now sitting on the tarmac fixing the oxygen to the pilots. I chose to - oblique 🌈 Jun 29, 21:21 14
- Maybe a silly question, but what is the concern with getting her a car at that time? -- nm - ty97 Jun 29, 21:37 7
  - I guess in theory at hired limo type service wouldn't be bad (though unclear if I could book one now on short notice but guessing yes) -- (edited) - oblique 🌈 Jun 29, 21:38 6
    - Yeah that's fair. I uber at that however like 'whatever' but I'm a guy so I can't relate to the female experience/safety. -- nm - ty97 Jun 29, 21:44 5
      - Also, in retrospect, if I had know of the delay a little earlier I would've gone to see Indy at 10pm -- nm - oblique 🌈 Jun 29, 21:45 2

- I *ADORED* the Infinity Engine games from Bioware. Baldur’s Gate, Icewind Dale, even Planescape: Torment. I assume BG3 will be nothing like it. - Mop Jun 29, 21:30 2
  - I played the first act of BG3 on Early Access and even in its early states it was already absolutely fantastic. - Marlowe Jun 30, 06:02
  - As I understand it Larian got started trying to mimic the old Baldur's Gates, but without the license. You might look into Divinity Original Sin 2. -- nm - Ender Jun 29, 21:47

Jax, if you want to know if you may like Diablo 4, try playing the free-to-play "Path of Exile" first. - Marlowe Jun 29, 19:30 4
- Torchlight 1 and 2 are probably dirt cheap right now and also less dark Diablo-clones -- nm - Tim Jun 29, 19:32 3
  - Downloading Path of Exile now, thanks! I played Torchlight 1 a long time ago, but don't think it hooked me. Thanks all! -- nm - JaxSean Jun 29, 20:50 2
    - I've often thought about trying it out but never did -- nm - oblique 🌈 Jun 29, 23:37

  - I don't understand why y'all are so determined to discriminate against Asians... -- nm - Ender Jun 29, 19:39 7
    - I for one appreciate your sudden, unexpected, and totally coincidental advocacy for the Asian population. You, sir, are a true American champion. -- nm - ty97 Jun 29, 21:40
    - thank you, Asians Champion, for your courage -- nm - hollywood big shot Jun 29, 20:23 5
