Non-Alcoholic Beer...

NA has gotten good. Guinness and Heineken are both really good, and a few of our local craft brewers do good NA versions of their signature brews (which is quite a feat considering most of them are pretty high alcohol)

I’ve never heard the Rod Stewart version until right now. I was all about the Bob Dylan song. The version he did on The Last Waltz is my version

First computer, Zenith PC clone, 1984-ish. First internet, about 1995, using my existing 386 with internal 14400 modem to dial in to a local ISO

I saw a documentary about this a while ago. Both pilots had food poisoning and there was one passenger who had only flown single engine planes in the war. The tower talked him down. It was pretty awesome.

Self Checkout

The self checkout at our store is glitchy. It won’t let me put my stuff in my own basket. Lots of stuff won’t scan. Produce is a pain in the butt. If I have one brick of cheese, easy. If I have anything complicated or a bunch of stuff, no good.

Sorry, last one. Had to share Gheri Curl Geordi!

Geordie gets back to the present, looks at his giant framed poster of him and Riker on the Phoenix. Starts yelling at everyone. “Why didn’t any of you tell me I was in this poster? It’s been on my wall for 40 years!!!”

Laforge (who went to Zefrem Cochrane high school) presumably at some point would have seen a photo of Cochrane in the craft and noticed he was the copilot

Ktel still exists and AFAIK is owned by the founders family. He died in 2016 and I was lucky enough to meet him a few times in the 1990s

Airports that made changes to accommodate the A380 - are those changes wasted when A380 is no longer flying or still useful for other reasons?

Absolutely.

YYC’s new international terminal has 2 gates that can accommodate the A380, which doesn’t fly here. Other aircraft use the gates. It’s overbuilt but the gates aren’t wasted.

Good points. I’m not saying they should have done anything differently, but I am wondering what their plan was.

I guess I’m assuming there’s a checklist they can run for everything and figure out whether it’s actually failed (didn’t deploy) or just didn’t indicate properly.

I always thought they put the landing gear down pretty late given that they couldn’t go around. It had been stowed for a week in space and then gone though reentry.
