You were supposed to come visit the East Coast! (Doesn't have to be between now and Xmas though, actually probably better if it isn't LOL.)

(Nikon maintaining some compatibility from before the AF era is something it only shares with Pentax since Canon and Minolta came up with new mounts for AF, but everyone who made AF film SLRs and then DSLRs kept their old mounts. Mirrorless is usually where you lose that direct compatibility.)

In-lens stabilization was invented when there was (more or less) only film. Canon had it first, then Nikon. Don’t think anyone else did before the digital era.

I’m curious if there’s an effective way to mandate real planning by law (is this a thing successfully done elsewhere?) since it’s hard to describe it as a list of requirements the way you can environmental review or benefit-cost analysis or whatever.

Actual planning is (more or less) optional while environmental review is legally mandated, so naturally the mandatory thing gets stretched to do as much as possible.

Places where the uhh physical space are the attraction do have a tendency not to be great restaurants even before they go out of business.

Wow, other than seat covers (?) that really hasn't been touched. You know it's not a US carrier because they haven't even added slimline seats to add density. 😂

Someone figured out how to create an even more doomed business than "turn an old boat into a restaurant" or (slightly less hopeless) "turn an old train into a restaurant" and it was combining the two.

That sounds delicious! (I am a big fan of sweet potatoes, but not sure what marshmallows are supposed to add... Maple, on the other hand, I'm into.)

(I am actually curious if sweet potatoes were less sweet when this dish was first popularized? I find them to need little embellishment and certainly not added sweetness, although I am not someone with a huge sweet tooth, especially for non-dessert foods.)

Oh, hmm, that's a layer of, uh, broiled marshmallow on top? OK.
