I could be misremembering, but I believe this is a bit of photography trickery. I think there is actually a platform under his feet and it’s not as far down as it seems.
I’ve seen this show thousands of times. I have most of it memorized to the point where I can recite it from memory, but I still catch new things all the time. That’s one of my favorite things about this show....
The seats are assigned. People have been standing in line for 15 minutes now. Why on earth would anyone want to stand there, when they could just sit and wait until the line clears?...
Not all airlines assign seats. I learned this last year. Southwest doesn’t assign seats but you get assigned groups for boarding. You can probably pay for earlier groups but I don’t know, I wasn’t the one who purchased the tickets directly.
Anyways, you line up in order of your boarding assignment. The earlier you get on the plane the better seat you get.
Found this interesting. I never saw the updated version, but I am guessing I probably wouldn’t have noticed the change. Just a random article I came across thinking you might enjoy. Or not. If I die, tell my wife hello.

Edit: A couple times I’ve said eBook while I actually meant Audiobook. I’ve learned that Spotify has a 15 hour limit per month for their free ‘included in premium’ audiobooks. However these are the two books I listened to for free, and even rounding up to 13 hours it doesn’t make sense, unless they count accidental...
Audible replaced a version of a book my boyfriend bought with a completely different version of the same book. I mean a different narrator and everything. He had purchased the book a few years earlier but he didn’t manage to get a refund from them.
Buying a family-sized home with three or more bedrooms used to be manageable for young people with children. But with home prices climbing faster than wages, mortgage rates still close to 23-year highs and a shortage of homes nationwide, many Millennials with kids can’t afford it. And Gen Z adults with kids? Even harder....
Some male pro Valorant players did an experiment with voice changers. They basically came to the conclusion that the came is almost unplayable as a woman.
I came to the conclusion that Netflix doesn’t understand marketing. The hit shows they had seem to be lucky finds and they think they can reproduce that by dumping money into a show and telling no one about it. Like fanboys will just watch whatever Daddy Netflix gives them.
Cowboy Bebop is a perfect example. They market it to die hard anime fans and no one else. Those fans hate it and it gets cancelled. The show wasn’t that bad and people like my dad would have loved it, had he ever heard about it.
About a year ago, I adopted a 2nd dog. For the most part they get along pretty well. They like to play together and for the most part they play well together....

I grew up pretty close to St. Mary’s. It’s a small town, probably like 3k people sorta between Topeka and Manhattan KS. A bunch of St Pius Catholics moved there and now they fight about it with the original citizens.
Keep in mind, this isn’t far from Westboro Baptist Church and a surprisingly large population of Mormons near Kansas City. Honestly the fact that they didn’t support this guys is pretty wild considering.
Small town KS has been increasingly left moving. My gay aunt was elected mayor of a different small town. The raid on the newspaper, has people rolling back (some) support in police, and while driving on some backroads near cattle farms, I saw a large amount of signs supporting Biden vs Trump in the election. It was pretty surprising.

TLDR; Fandom has a lot of QAnon articles written to make the scams seem legitimate to less computer savvy people.
My mom has fallen in a Qanon conspiracy world. The people from that world write Fandom articles about themselves to make it seem legitimate. I found them when I started investigating these people trying to convince her to steer clear.
I’m a Bethesda hoarder and a crazy person, so I made a spreadsheet. I know there’s a mod if you’re on PC, but I’m on Xbox so I needed some help. Thought you might be interested. I got the data from Starfield Wiki and just added simple functions for the ratios.

The FCC still doesn’t have a leader. Biden nominated one but couldn’t get congress to approve one so they’ve sort of been stuck and unable to do anything.
The FCC is split evenly by Repubs and Dems, with the Commissioner being the tie breaker, nominated by the presiding president
