    Airplane in-flight entertainment - the new norm?

    There might have been two movies on a transoceanic flight. But on a fairly small CRT in various locations. I do remember the first time I flew first class. The seats had individual screens that popped out of the armrests. They had multiple channels that recirculated movies. It was amaz8ng...

    Detergents, no solvents, every fill up

    Without a solvent, it would be pretty difficult to used automated metering of the additive. Many solvents are just petroleum distillates. There’s likely nothing in the solvent that’s not already in the base fuel.

    passport application

    I don't think there was ever a rule about ID presented needing to be valid beyond the date of the visit. I thought maybe she made it up, but there's the chance that someone in training made it up or was mistaken. As far as online applications go, they have some serious limits. You can do a...

    Science experiment in cream cheese

    I did learn years ago that cream cheese doesn’t freeze well. A family member knew I liked it and bought a foodservice block for me. But then froze it thinking it would be given to me later. The water crystallized.

    passport application

    There are some limitations, such as combination applied vs what one currently has. Also one of the passport book or card has to expire within a year or be expired less than 5 years. But mail-in doesn’t require a visit. The hard part is the physical photo. I do it myself. I can’t find many...

    Are you required to get an appointment to renew the DL? At least around here, walk in hasn’t been too bad. Especially when appointment were only available weeks ahead.

    Roundup time

    Apparently used as a pre-harvest treatment to control the speed to dry up. There’s no commercial wheat variety that resists glyphosate. https://extension.okstate.edu/fact-sheets/glyphosate-use-as-a-pre-harvest-treatment-not-a-risk-to-food-safety

    passport application

    As with any bureaucracy, you’re dealing with individuals. Many who might uninformed or just make up their own rules. So far the suggestions have been to go elsewhere (not a great option with location), come back hoping someone else handles it, or wait it out when the ID is ready. At the very...

    Most consumer Roundup is no longer glyphosate. https://www.canr.msu.edu/news/not-your-mothers-roundup

    passport application

    I don’t know if that would help. Often it’s just a few select people trained in the procedures and authorized to perform the duties. There is supposed to be a Federal Passport Agent's Reference Guide. Can’t find it though since all the links are dead. If anything, I’d complain to the State...

    passport application

    If that were the case I’d go somewhere else. I get it if it’s out in the middle of nowhere. But there are alternative ID. I don’t see how that gets rejected. I also don’t see why this one postal worker didn’t just submit it. The worst that could happen is the post office collects $35 and...

    passport application

    When a driver license expires in the future has no bearing on its use as an identity document at the time of verification. Several of the forms of “primary ID” can be expired (like a US passport) or don’t have expirations (like a Certificate of  Naturalization or Certificate of Citizenship)...

    Depends on the location. Canada allows Americans to enter Canada as long as a US passport hasn’t expired.

    Yeah. There’s no specific requirement other than the ID be valid at the time of the visit. But obviously many make things up for whatever reason.
