Unfortunately, with climate change induced rapid intensifications, NO & state emergency managers don't think evacs will be called anymore. And certainly not contraflow. Also, BR is a pretty good place to be for a hurricane, don't knock it. It's where many orgs stage for NO storms.

Little hint: When you're supposedly my friend, but complain about me to my partner, SHE'S the one you've pissed off not me. But when my ignoring you prompts no questions or apologies, that's when you've pissed ME off. Because I feel like 3+ years didn't matter.

Oh Great and Powerful leader of the Lower Decks, @mikemcmahan.bsky.social. I can't find a solid answer to this question:
Why does Mariner not share a family name with her parents? Specifically, was she given the name "Beckett Mariner" at birth or was it changed later? And in either case, why?
Thx!

I highly disagree. I have a high-end job to synthesize administrative and technical information, and getting that synthesis out of my brain onto a page is a bulk braindump exercise. I type far, far faster and more coherent than I can speak so STT isn't useful to me at all.

Remember how hotels didn't want to offer rooms in the path of the 2024 eclipse as soon as the 2017 eclipse was over? It feels like that for the LotR re-release. Only ONE theater chain, Cinemark, is offering the 2nd & 3rd date set for sale. Movie Tavern has 1 screen full of the 1st dates, no more.

I just want to spend time & exchange ideas with people I find interesting. I want them to want to do the same with me. I try so hard. Sometimes with authenticity and enthusiasm, which others misinterpret. Sometimes to the point of artifice, which I abhor. So hard.

unless @mikemcmahan.bsky.social objects, I move that Second Contact Day be held on August 6th, the anniversary of the Lower Decks premiere episode of the same name. It’s also a date which, like STLD, connects to all other Trek because it’s Lucille Ball’s birthday, who gave Star Trek a second chance.

Now I know why British people call them "lifts". Because they sound absolutely ridiculous trying to say the word "elevator"! I just heard one of them and they said it like "el-eh vay-eh". 🤣🤣

This may help you out... Motels have outside room entrances ("MOtor hoTEL"). Hotels have inside room entrances. Some "proper" hotels have no food options (1-2 stars). Some have a snack area (2.5-3.5 stars). Some have restaurants (3.5+ stars). And some have room service (usually 4-5 stars).

Yes and no. Some new brands, like Moxy, are bar-centric. As in, the check-in desk *IS* the bar; the person who gave me my room key also made me a cocktail.

It's a service level thing.
It took me years before I understood that "3 stars", "4 stars" aren't quality grades, but amenity/benefit/service indicators.
You need 4 star or above to get room service.

Nearly all have that option. I was at a convention last year at a Sheraton, and we couldn't limit access to the hotel because they had like 10 rooms with ongoing contracts, people who had been staying there for multiple years. Since then I ask about it and all have said they can do it.

Not only those places. Full on Sheratons will do yearslong guests, which I found out last year. We had a convention and couldn't sell out the hotel bc they had multiple guests with ongoing stays.
