I can barely charge my phone (the charging cables don't stay attached very well) but by god I'm going keep it until it becomes literally impossible (going on 5 years now). Mostly I'm trying to outlast the AI fad.

Looking at the NAS status page, it's probably for Houston.

Usually this is caused by weather but given there doesn't seem to be much weather in Texas I'm guessing it's a staffing issue, aka more sectors controlled by one controller than normal.

10 to 15 miles-in-trail (or MIT) is common, 30 is quite a bit.

Each aircraft going into [AIRPORT NOT SPECIFIED] is being spaced out by 30 miles to lower the arrival rate and make things easier for the controllers, which slows everything down a lot. In optimal conditions that gap is usually 3-5 miles.

Tech Enthusiasts: Everything in my house is wired to the Internet of Things! I control it all from my smartphone! My smart-house is bluetooth enabled and I can give it voice commands via alexa! I love the future!

Programmers / Engineers: The most recent piece of technology I own is a printer from 2004 and I keep a loaded gun ready to shoot it if it ever makes an unexpected noise.

Security technicians: *takes a deep swig of whiskey* I wish I had been born in the neolithic.

I don't know why I'm even commenting on this, I almost never agree with ANN reviews in the first place.

ANN, surely you have ONE reviewer who has watched enough of the A Certain Magical Index franchise available to review A Certain Dark Item. Having FOUR people review the first episode and each of them start with a variation on "I know basically nothing about this franchise" isn't great. Expected tho.

Happy Members of Congress Wishing the US Navy a Happy Birthday But Using Pictures of Foreign Navies Day
Happy 251st Birthday to the United States Navy! Since its founding in 1775, the U.S. Navy has defended our nation against threats at sea and protected American interests abroad.
Today, we honor the service and sacrifice of generations of sailors and thank the men and women who continue to serve our country.
