The Pot Belly Stove

Just a quick question, did TWC can Storm Alert music for the LOT8s? I heard that on Youtube. Kinda po'ed if they did.

We believe so although there was never an official statement about it.  Let's keep TWC topics out of this thread, please.

Ha! I've been on a flight slightly longer...United still does regular non-stop flights from Chicago O'Hare to Beijing. That flight was supposed to be 14 and a half hours, but we hit a headwind, and it took 16. Coming back from Hong Kong, the tailwind knocked it down from 15 to 13.5. Still nothing to sneeze at, though.

I don't mind the flight times as much as how warped the time changes can be. Leaving to Auckland, you lose a day crossing the dateline. Coming back into LA, you arrive in the United States before you supposedly even departed Australia (example: leave Sydney at 4:35 PM on the 7th, and arrive in LA at 8:23 AM on the 7th).

Qantas has those little TV things in their seats, and a little personal power outlook in economy, so it shouldn't be too bad. And there's 12 weeks between my arrival in Oceania and my departure, so I'm glad I don't have to do the return trip immediately afterwards.

Yes, those PTV's are a saving grace. I wish Southwest would install those on my recent flights to Las Vegas, though! 5 and a half hours in a cramped 737 is really pushing it.

American Airlines does not have PTVs in any of their aircraft except the 777, which I feel they barely fly anywhere.  I know a lot of other airlines that are installing them on smaller aircraft, such as the 757 and 767.  Let's just say, it's nice to have them.

That's because the 777s with PTVs only fly to Asia, London, Sao Paulo and MIA - LAX

Delta's been doing that. They had PTV's on a 1 hr 40 minute hop from Atlanta to Minneapolis on a 757. That was a pleasant surprise.

What I am going to do is when I fly, I'll bring my iPad. Load videos. If you do that, though, I'd get the 32 or 64gb.


Also, the person who threatened me? The FBI reprimanded them and B& (sound it out) them from Twitter for good. Score one for me and everyone who has helped me out. Thanks guys!

I'd really like to know how the FBI can "ban" someone from Twitter. What are they going to do, monitor every device at every location the person is for the rest of their life?

I think it's a case of having to ban the person after he returns and is positively identified.  It's utterly impossible to actually prevent him from creating new accounts.

That is what it is. IP address, I believe. All they shared.

[Eric]

Blocking by IP address is usually effective only in the very short term.

Good Evening Everyone! Hope its going well for you all. I've been working on a design project and I'd like you all to give some feed back on it if you could.

That looks very nice and professional, Donovan! I like it.

[Zach]

Looks good, Donovan! If you dont mind me asking, where did you get ahold of those flipbooks?

[Donovan]

Thanks. Zach, I made those. Except the waves in the middle... That was a place holder that I got from BOM.
