My orders came through. My squadron ships out tomorrow. We’re bombing the storage depots at Daiquiri at 1800 hours. We’re coming in from the north, below their radar.
When will you be back?
I can’t tell you that. It’s classified.

…if he was trying to self-radicalize in the name of terrorism.
This is a very weird way of wording a possible motivation. I guess I never heard about all those suicide bombers shouting “For terrorism!” before detonating. Was he apprehended in full Joker facepaint?

The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas*. Not to be pedantic, but that completely changes the message of the story.

No, clearly this is Darwin finally admitting what we’ve known all along: the man is actually composed entirely of sentient clover and bees.
Saw them open for Fall Out Boy a couple months ago. Killer set list through-and-through, even though I knew very few of the songs. They still bring the heat!

What stuck out to you?
So, the difference between air and train is immense. There’s like 3-4x more leg room, free 2x carryons, 2x checked, and 2x personal items (you could probably get away with more if you wanted). The seats are newer pleather that look nicer, though don’t feel too great, especially for long durations. Getting up and walking down the aisles and spending time in the café car is a great way to spend time, and you don’t really have to worry about leaving items at your seat.
What was different between your expectations and experiences?
Not much, if I had to say, I’d guess speed. It can get going pretty fast, and it’s nice to see you speeding past cars on the highway in the VA area. But also, speed… getting deprioritized against freight traffic is more than a little annoying. Was once stuck for a couple of hours because a tree had fallen across the track in a storm earlier in the day.
What do you think most people don’t understand about AmTrak travel?
Not having to deal with TSA makes the experience 100x better in speed and convenience. Taxes and several dozen bags included in the ticket price make it cheaper than air travel in a lot of situations. Seeing the countryside go by at grade-level is so beautiful. Interaction with other passengers and train attendants is very… touching, I guess? People in general are much, much more friendly and happy to be there than in an airplane.
Here’s hoping that you get a chance to experience AmTrak! Even if it’s just for a couple of hours, it’s a very unique experience. I really want to do a roomette cross-country at some point, but it does get pretty expensive, and I feel that some of the charm may be lost by having a totally private space versus coach seating.
Not east-west, but I’ve done north-south, ORL to NYP (24 hrs), as well as CHS-NYP, on the Silver Star and Silver Meteor. Since it’s not really in the vein of this question, I won’t go into detail, but it’s been between good and okay for me; doing coach and coach-premium-or-whatever-it’s-called. AMA I suppose?
They’ve set up a pretty detailed whitepaper here.
He was Parks Commissioner. Did everything in his power to not build parks in Harlem. Known for giving personal touches to parks that reflected the character of the neighborhoods they were in. When he built Riverside Park, the point of the park closest to Harlem was monkey themed.
There needs to be a Lemmy community for crazy Duolingo prompts; I believe there was one on Reddit. The favorite one that I got, translated from French, “I’m sorry that my dog ate your cat”

Someone or some company signed me up for Trump fundraising emails recently. The subject line of one from 2(?) days ago read: HANDS OFF TRUMP TOWER, so it sounds like they’re preparing some kind of mobilization/campaign to play the victim now that their options are quickly drying up.
The 787 airframe is unrelated to the 737 MAX series, which had the MCAS crashes/door falling off.
That said, I’d never want to fly Boeing, but it’s probably not a realistic worry at this point.
