I'm just asking questions about your morality.

Either of this things should be true:

  1. You have an argument against murder that you would want someone who thinks murder is ok to examine and possibly change their mind, in which case you should be equally open to arguments about treating non-human animals as property

  2. You have no argument against murder because all morality is subjective and if some dude wants to murder someone that's their right and we should all get out of their face about it because maybe they're two seconds away from doubling the number of people they murder just to make up for your lack of murdering

Which would you say is closer to your position?

If you use too strong of rubbing alcohol, like the 80-90% strong kind, it can do the same. Not always, but it can happen. When repairing and replacing those seals, you tend to use 99% or straight up acetone to remove them. I used to go home from work with those adhesive boogers all over my sleeves, it's a nightmare.

This. It's a small enough airport unless they're crazy busy, your TSA wait time is often under 15 minutes.

The long term parking is easy and if you're able to walk half a mile, you will be fine.

The times I've flown out(which has only been like 3), I've never had any issues with checking in, getting my luggage checked in(including carrying a firearm in it), and getting through TSA.

An hour before your flight is set to start boarding is a good idea. 90 minutes if you really want to be sure.

Since I carry a gun in my luggage and that requires some extra TSA fun, I will show up 90 minutes early.

This is, of course, just me travelling. No kids, no groups. Just me.

Reply to comment by dangerbird2 in Virgin Orbit fails to secure funding, will cease operations and lay off nearly entire workforce by getBusyChild

Agreed. Turning a profit from air-launched rockets is impossible with launch prices having fallen so dramatically with the arrival of Falcon 9, in particular.

There might yet be a market for soft-ride orbital spaceplanes that launch like this, or even from a runway. As opposed to "mere" hypersonic airliners.

But I wouldn't bet any of my own money on seeing these emerge by even 2050.

Reply to TIL that New Orleans chicory coffee mix started during the American Civil War when Union naval blockades cut off the port of New Orleans bringing coffee shipments to a halt. New Orleanians looking for their coffee fix began mixing chicory with coffee to stretch out the supply. by GeoJono

Most iconic foods start out as a "ok, what do we have on hand and what can we make from it?" thing. Often as a staple food for the masses.
