Would it be better for him to book the 3pm flight and if he misses it, he gets on the 4pm, or book him for the 4pm, and if he gets there early, he can get on the 3? I'd be booking a refundable ticket, so changes would be OK and not incur fees.

I would book the 4. I feel like missing a flight causes issues, but what do I really know? meara would know.

Nora, I'd say book the 4, that way he's guaranteed a seat. If he books the 3 and misses it, he may or may not be able to get a seat on the 4. If he gets there early and the 3 is full, he's still okay. Bitter at waiting in the airport for an hour, but okay.

Hello, Xenophobia: French Star Wars Disco Dance Party

I initially had some difficulty deciding which to blame for the most lazy piece of choreography you’ve ever seen performed (poorly) by spandexed C-3POs and Darth Vaders in this disco-themed Star Wars video: France, or the atrocious pop culture trends of the late 1970s.

I settled on France.

NO! BAD, FRANCE! BAD!

So, what, come the apocalypse, all the kosher Jews are screwed?

There's an overriding commandment to keep yourself (and your family) alive and healthy even if it means breaking other commandments (kashrut & the Sabbath usually being the first to go), so during an apocalypse hunting would be okay if it kept your family from starving. (Similar to how Jews operated in concentration camps during the Holocaust - the Nazis were not big on providing kosher meals at Auschwitz.)

An engineer, Hines said he was inspired to create the robot after a friend died in the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.

Oh, well that makes it much less creepy then. No wait, I mean that makes it much more creepy.
