They dump fuel so they can safely land due to weight, as you guessed. In this case it was a cross-country trip, so the plane had a fair amount of fuel that needed to be offloaded.

I had a layover in Midway at maybe 7:30am once. Everyone — and I mean everyone — was drinking. Like, are you going to get the shakes between security and boarding?

Unless your truck has an 8-foot bed for work, which would actually be longer than the front portion seating a family and therefore useful, it’s a silly waste of money. The point of a truck is hauling things, not people.

Ban the crew cab and force the trucks to be used as trucks, not minivan/SUV substitutes. Suddenly a $60k+ pavement princess used for hauling a recliner once a year isn’t as appealing.

That’s some JPay shit

Estée Lauder’s “cut to the chaise”

I believe he’s actually playing putt-putt golf, the one with the windmills.

Swivel the ipad 360° and walk away

I got a Trump door hanger. Meanwhile, the dems are canvassing the neighborhood on issues like public education vs charter schools. They’re doing more than just going to Kinkos.

A holocaust/genocide studies professor once told me there were two categories of holocaust deniers, and while the former were fools, the latter truly scared him:

1. “It didn’t happen.”

2. “It wasn’t a holocaust because they didn’t finish the job.”

This is veering into #2 territory when you view these deaths as some sort of portion that had “overcrowding.”

“First thing you learn is that you always gotta wait.” Taken from the Velvet Underground about buying drugs, but I think it’s pretty applicable to everything.

I’m an English professor. I’m willing to overlook a lot of stuff in student papers as long as I can follow it to the basic point they’re making. Donnie’s not even at a level that understands the assignment, and he’s refusing to ask for help. I can assure you he’s not Pynchon, either — he doesn’t want the publicity.

I love Tearaway on Vita. Very creative use of all the handheld’s features (cameras, touch screen, rear touchpad, microphone, motion). The best bit is seeing your fingers bursting through the back and into the screen. The PS4 version of the game really shows how disappointing it is not to play on the Vita, even with vastly improved hardware.

Denies it like he denies the Holocaust

Hey, I’ve heard that one before, and big surprise, it was told to another Medicaid patient. It’s a lie that means “we don’t want our practice potentially making less money.” The provider probably doesn’t even know you were told that. I wish the gnarliest of 8th-dimensional waking nightmares on every admin who enables that bullshit.

Oh of course, 100%. I wouldn’t suggest changing from providers for reasons other than really botched/mismanaged/negligent care. I don’t think everyone wants to give a reason to a scheduler for the switch because honestly they don’t need to know, and I would assume the patient is having conversations way above a scheduler’s level about any issues with a provider.

The doctor’s appointment is not a great example for the US because the system is so fucked. If the doctor is terrible, sit it out, and then request to never see them again. You don’t even have to say why (if/when the scheduler pressures you, just blame the free market: “my care will be better managed by someone else”). Because if you don’t like your healthcare in the US, you certainly can leave, but you will be stuck with the bill, and if it’s considered leaving “against medical advice,” you will be denied insurance coverage if you return for the same issue.

I just wish the credits rolled over a secret service agent coming out of the bushes at night and slowly scattering handfuls of leaves in the pool
