Great toy until you tried for a horizontal launch and got the water blast in the face. The energy came from compressed air.

Had to read that out loud twice :rotflmao:

I am confused on something with a couple flights I researched
It has me flying on Air Korea but mentions Delta as the primary carrier. So if I go directly to Delta will that flight be the same or is the search using best options?
It’s the same flight—just a codeshare with different flight numbers. You can book either way, but you’ll be on Korean Air.
Just watch your connections. Like if you’re flying from a regional airport into Atlanta and then catching Korean Air—if that long flight gets moved earlier, it can mess up your first leg.
Excellent reminder from Krauthammer.

They’re interesting - as long as you had a heater, baffles, a strong bed frame, and kept your cats outside…

re: Has this board talked about YouTube’s ads

Ads or ad reads? There's a huge difference
The ads on free YouTube, or the ones creeping into Premium feeds? You’d think there’s a difference— they’re both just noise at this point.
Feels like déjà vu from when cable promised “ad-free”.
Also, the flood of AI-generated content is making YT harder to sift through.

As a member of the Youtube Premium Master Race, I have no idea what you're talking about.
I also have YT premium but I do have an idea of what he’s talking about.
I bought it for the “no ads” feature but that is no longer the case. Many YouTube channels are increasingly adding ads “cleverly” embedded in the total content. And it’s a nuisance.
I tend to book 6 months out but always direct w/ airline and always refundable. Exceptions on 100 % refunds do occur. Some airlines impose a cancellation fee even though it’s a refundable ticket.

Bogota had a severe problem with thousands of manhole covers stolen each year. It was particularly hazardous if you drove at night.

Upon reflection, a swimming safari in the crocodile infested Rufiji River in Tanzania might be a strong contender.

Temu could knock off one of these designs. Wouldn't even need boosters. Comes with its own propulsion system.

re: What is the best/cheapest way to book a hotel?

Anybody have any hacks or sites that worked in the past that were cheaper than the typical third party sites?
No.
I don’t really bother with hacks or third party sites. I’ll use Booking, TripAdvisor, or Google Maps to check reviews and compare options, then narrow things down to a few hotels in a city I like.
From there, I book directly through the hotel and stick to refundable rates. If you’re staying multiple nights, hotels will sometimes offer a better deal, and it can be worth calling during business hours to ask a manager about any discounts or promos.
