I miss the Netherlands! But I don’t miss IKEA there. Their delivery drivers couldn’t find their asses with both hands, a flashlight, and GPS.

You can run MacOS in a VM as long as it’s on apple hardware.

That was really entertaining. I personally find his written account a little more vivid, but it was nice to hear it directly from the pilot.

`“Hiri” can’t be opened because it is from an unidentified developer.`

Is it really expensive for a dev to get a cert from apple? I don't develop so i've never looked.

That's the point, there are _other_ jobs they should have taken because these jobs were knee-jerk reactionary responses that shouldn't exist to begin with.

I don't support McD's however I'm sure you could be describing a generic fast food place. You really can't compare working fast food to working for the government. People work for the government for a whole lot more different reasons then working fast food type jobs. For one, it's 100x easier to get a job at McDriveThrough then it is to get hired on as a federal employee. I'm talking from personal experience here.

I didn't say anything about molesting children. You are confusing my comment there with someone else's. I'm also not calling anyone names.

At the very _best_ what I'm describing are inefficiencies in our system, and anyone who's working for that system is part of the problem.

Not defending him, but I would imagine people in his position play and pay to both parties.

This is just one of the many problems with the TSA: their policies are randomly and inconsistently enforced.
