Another option would be asking your hotel if they have a sewing kit. That's something they might have at the front desk.

You could at least gusset up the seam to keep it from spreading and add a bit more structure in a pinch.

I take it to New York regularly. Haven't done Philly.

But it's a comfortable ride.

Safe travels.

That's my experience whenever I'm heading downtown during peek times.

Are you taking the Acela to Philly?

All of our devices are computers now (or at least have countless embedded compute devices on them).

We shouldn't ignore basic compute observability best practices "because it's a car or plane".

Some amount of this starts to butt up against the work that I do - software and systems observability.

While I know there needs to be controls to not do that bad thing (terminate the charging script for flight), actively monitoring system resources in realtime is another crucial step!

Was just going to post about this!

Good luck!!

Also turned 16 in 1994 and was going to say something similar - literally couldn't choose just one.

Absolute bumper crop of S-tier albums across the spectrum.

Yes, that was exactly what I meant :D

I do think that when they added the trans red for the Rock Raiders line that it played really well with the white and blue.

But a lot of the Futuron sets just feel a bit too flat.
November 16, 2025 at 5:01 AM
By and large, I like the white aesthetic from Futuron less than the grey in Classic ... but the monorail is obviously on a tier all its own.

Very interested to hear back!

Those are def two highly desirable sets! Very, very cool.

I don't necessarily think Aang is an objectively better commander than Oketra - and optimizing for both looks a little different.

The cast-and-bounce approach works well for both.

But having to wait until your upkeep for Aang payoff is tough if you don't have other experience outlets though.

The one set I never had but wish I did was the Futuron Monorail. All the monorail stuff is prohibitively expensive now though.

Blacktron was a really, really strong way to introduce a new angle to classic space ... but classic space remains unparalleled.

This was also my impression and one of the reason that I tend to avoid them - though in this particular case I consume YT vids in the evening (US time) so wouldn't have been able to catch it.

Seems like a lot of people believe this is how premieres work.

I don't tend to have a big reaction... but you just never know.
November 14, 2025 at 3:05 PM
I’m def not.
