That said, I don't do thumbprint or face recognition for phone locking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been doing this long enough I arrive with a plan to walk up to the gate, as the door is opening for boarding. It's turned into a game at this point. Clear was VERY new at the time, <2 minutes walking through, with 500 pissed off Pre checkers watching me. It's since expired and I didn't renew. Covid travel changed everything for me. and I can hold a grudge longer than Noah. or Job. .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when I did have precheck a couple times I went through regular security because the precheck line was so much longer?

I’m pretty sure you could get a 55 gallon drum of manure and a 500 foot loop of detonation cord through the employee security at an airport.

Joe_Hoopsier Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 Fly into Sikeston MO, call Lamberts restaurant and they will send a driver to come get you, walk you in the back door, have a saved table for you and then they will throw hot rolls at you while you're there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was curious and sure enough, Sikeston actually has an airport. Their runways are so small that larger species of hawks and eagles couldn't land on them and instead of metal detectors and x-ray scanners, their security consists of a dude in bib overalls carrying a sawed off shotgun who will look at you menacingly and say "Yew don't look like yew's from 'round here". I also liked the Wikipedia description of the airport: Quote Sikeston Memorial Municipal Airport is a city-owned, public-use airport located two nautical miles northeast of the central business district of Sikeston, in Scott County, Missouri, United States. Which two blocks make up Sikeston's central business district? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drroogh Posted April 2 Report Share Posted April 2 (edited) I’ve never been one to spend hours building my own playlist of music, mostly have let some radio station do that work for me. So I thought it would be a good thing to just say play ‘music’ to the AI. However since I usually don’t spin the dial so to speak, AI has chosen a narrow playlist for me that results in repetitive music? Now I’m having to spend time trying to teach AI I’m not as narrow as it thinks I am!?😡😡😡 Edited April 2 by Drroogh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Suggested playlists" are more like "random shuffles", which I don't mind. Guess that's what happens when you go from DMX to George Strait to the Jackson 5 to Britney Spears to European symphonic metal in one playlist 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I used to be the sound guy at church playing walk in/out music from my account. So instead of saying play music just now I said play my playlist. First song was church instrumental walk in music! 😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
