I flew a few months ago and the ticket pretty much was an A4 (US letter format) printed out at home with all the info on it.
The list is pretty bullshit though, at least for me. I was born in 1995.

I understand. I hate it when people assume that we don't know about anything that existed before we were born.

Sir!
You can print a boarding pass at home or at a kiosk in the airport. You can also use your phone to display a QR code that they scan at the gate.
I've been watching Battlestar Galactica (TRS) and was starting to wonder about something. I know that at numerous points throughout the series, people are killed by being tossed out an airlock. Some of those instances occur from the Galactica's own Viper launch tubes. The effects seem to indicate that they don't decompress the tube before opening the outer door. Wouldn't doing that, along with the regular launching of Vipers, cause a long-term diminution of the Galactica's air supply? Obviously the ship has some advanced means of recycling the air aboard, but that wouldn't replace air lost by the constant loss through the tubes.

Try WD-40. I had some clear tape stuck on vinyl flooring (leftover from when it was rolled and shipped), and even though I pulled off the plastic part of the tape, the adhesive wouldn't budge. A friend recommended WD-40, so I sprayed some on, let it set a while, and then it wiped right off with no effort.

Wash your hands/use sanitizer before you go in and don't touch your nose/face.

Dont think they'll be happy to shake my hand even if i have cleaned them

He shouldn't be touching his nose/face anyway in an interview.

Keep in mind that's just the boarding pass, which is not your ticket, even though it acts like one these days.
The actual "ticket", (i.e. the thing you purchase that informs the clerk at Check-In that you are allowed on the plane) I'm pretty sure has been electronic only since at least the late-90s. This was a real, physical slip that, if you lost, you would not be getting on the plane.
They looked like this:
And you'd exchange it at Check-In for your boarding pass.
Brofist them.

I made a music playlist on youtube, this works when I go to my videomanagement and select the playlist, but (to test it) when I search for my uploaded stuff like a "regular" youtuber would search for something and click on the video, it's just a seperate video and the playlist doesn't show up. How can I make it so that when people stumble upon one of my videos they also see the playlist?
Why do cables like this exist, what is the benefit? The coils always end up getting jumbled and there seems to be no way to restore offset coils to normal, it's annoying as shit. Also, what is this kind of cable called?
The benefit is that they stretch to a long distance, but return to their original shorter shape which means there isn't a long cable bunching up, knotting or hanging on the floor to trip over.
I think it is simply called a spring cable.

Why does my tongue look like this and how do I rid of the whiter bits?
Having a little situation. Summer is hitting hard now so I decided to invest in an AC unit. Now, the problem is that my apartment is mostly filled with 2 prong outlets. I've used a few of the 3 prong adapters to use hook up things like my PC, TV, Fridge, etc and I haven't had any issues. This AC unit seems to be a bit much however, it's causing the breaker to switch off every so often. So do I have any options other then calling in an electrician? It's a pretty old building.
Thanks

It only slows it when you highlight that specific folder with all the bookmarks. But, i don't think it should slow the overall performance down.
Is the WiiU Zelda Deluxe edition out September 20th a limited edition? Cause i'm thinking of getting one for Christmas but i'm afraid of not finding one then. I mean i read Nintendo's getting rid of the basic models and making these Zelda and Nintendoland bundles their core models. So, it shouldn't be limited supplies right or am i wrong?
Okay, really really stupid question in coming...
There is an abandoned theme park in Missouri that I really want to explore but I'm afraid of the possible consequences of doing so. I guess what I'm asking is... Would I get in trouble if caught and if so what would the consequence be?

If there aren't any signs, go right on ahead. If there are and you trespass anyway, worst that's happened to me is a police officer telling me to exit the premises. No big deal, but YMMV.
Best laptop (13-15") for under 300$ for surfing the web, office applications, burning a disc, music...etc?
Girl of mine is in Washington D.C. right now and has a crap Netbook at her place and she wants to replace it with something better than this piece of.
Didn't find a general laptop thread, only one for gamer notebooks.
Thanks!

What are those body suit things that cover the whole body called and how do people breathe and see when wearing them?
A Full Body Spandex Suit?
You can see because the material is pretty thin, although of course it's not as clear.

Huh? What did I say? Did I screw up again? :(
Why do the French have such a famous phrase in "coup de grace". I know there was a lot of killing in French history (I've seen Roses of Versailles" so I know French history pretty well) but did mercy killings really occur that often? Any famous historical French mercy killing happen to drive this phrase that's been coopted in so many places?
Also... why is coopted a word that's allowed to exist?

No... you have never been wrong. More like this universe has wronged your post and in doing so, has wronged you. You should plan your revenge.
Well things are black because they absorb most of the visible light spectrum some of this energy is absorbed as heat, some of it bounces back off as a different, longer, wave length which is not visible to us.
As for potassium permanganate ion solutions specifically, they absorb most of the light from roughly 475nm to 600 nm, depending on concentration, which is a lot of the visible light spectrum for humans (380nm-720nm) Which leaves them looking a mix of purple and some red. Because in a book cover it is a solid, it is a much higher concentration than in say a solution (assuming the book cover is made using potassium permanganate ion) , it appears to be black to us. You see this in things such as black pens, if you let the ink run in water or a piece of paper it will look dark purple usually (depending on what the ink is made of)

Could someone please help me, I'm trying to locate a good article for my psychology class, it can be about anything related to psychology. I have been trying to search for something along the lines of human behavior or more precisely the drive for human behavior. I don't know where to look, I have binged and googled but still have yet to find anything.
