@DJNoneYa Oh no, I think they know EXACTLY how it works... but if they wrote like that, it wouldn't generate any clicks. 😉

@Studio_M_ Early '04, coming home.

@bfgreen I play a bit of Eve Online, and my freighter crew used that as the basis for their shipping company. 😄

@BlueWatermelon775 And speaking of inspections, that triggered a memory... took a bit, but I found the story I remembered reading from a few years ago...

@BlueWatermelon775 Yep. And I bet whoever came up with the maintenance checks for the plug is getting a strip torn off, with updated inspection requirements coming shortly. I remember coming back from a USO trip and Coach Harbaugh (the Baltimore one) was with us. We were chatting, and then he points forward and goes "Is that supposed to be like that?" I look, and the CP's window was cracked. I told him it was OK, 'cause it was the outside window, not the cabin side. 😏

@BlueWatermelon775 There's generally a couple of warning lights on almost every flight. The majority of them trigger an additional inspection (which it sounds like the airline complied with) based on guidance from the manufacturer and FAA. I'd be interested to know if the restriction on overwater flights was included in the maintenance guidance, or if Alaska's Quality Control inspectors (QC) added that as an additional safety measure.

@GeorgeVotesBlue Oh, and @TheNewsOwl of course!! 😎

@GeorgeVotesBlue Yep. It became so much easier for me to understand, when I came to the realization that U.S. media in general aren't out to provide actual news - they're trying to sell advertising. I used to prefer Reuters until they went mostly paywall, and now get most of my news from the BBC, PBS, and occasionally AP. The rest is just more corporate-sponsored gruel aimed at keeping the masses pacified with the status quo.

@Mrs_Bones College. Longer if you let them live in the basement.

@phase2 If you don't mind dance/house/edm, one of the Twitch streamers I follow now and then is startin' a live set in about 30 minutes. Probably the closest I get to dance parties these days, lol!

@Citizen_rma Maybe for a bit... but like I taught our kids, just means their... delicate bits are within easier range if somethin' goes down. 😉

@elbutterfield lol, noice! Wonder if you could footprint 'em into revealing if they're on a Linux or Windows box, and have even more fun?

@Beanc Dang, I thought I had it rough, with 8 books from SANS, lol!

@Kinnison Got him bookmarked, hung out for a bit of the yacht rock freedom Thursday set tonight. Twitch.tv/mind1 usually does a live set on Saturday evenings (Saturday Night Swarm), with Eve Online as a backdrop. His twitch videos don't have music, to avoid any DMCA issues.

Here's a set he did about 8 or 9 months ago:
