News and notes from around the interweb:
- Bacardi is suing American Airlines, they say they shipped cognac to the U.S. from France and it never arrived what’s the airline equivalent of falling off the back of a truck?
- New Google office has airport lounge inside
A public space on the aerospace-themed fifth floor is designed to look like an airport lounge, complete with air-conditioning vents that offer the sound and feel of an airplane cabin. Across the hall, an airplane trolley is filled with board games and a wall is covered with cards from decks airlines used to give passengers.

- Even worse than stopping a passenger for bringing sausage through a security checkpoint? TSA’s puns about it.

What are “meat sweats please?”
Bacardi apparently didn’t get the invite to the AA Cargo agent party.
Well , AA did start serving adult beverages again and supply chain is tight so. . . . .LOL Just kidding, calm down Bacardi, it will show up, maybe with a case or two of Coke!
If Google or any employer can recreate a full fledged first class lounge complete with on demand PREMIUM dining and drinks, nap pods, shower rooms, Pelotons, and a concierge desk, then I will accept a gigantic pay cut to work three times as many hours as I currently do. I’ll put Marissa Mayer to shame. I’ll spend 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at work.
Why would anyone in their right mind brings sausages in a passenger bags through a TSA checkpoint? Don’t they have any clue that if you let me sit out front certain amount of hours that it tends to start spoiling and smelling funny?
I’m confused. Are sausages considered a liquid? Or, I hope more importantly, how could sausages be used to build a bomb?
Ayenus you don’t know about Google “play pens.” Get thee to a recruiter!
DNN: sausage lives a long time!
All Gary does is spin up negative light for AA. God, it’s such a tired trope.
Now that freedom to infect your fellow passengers with COVID is a thing, is enveloping them with second-hand smoke the next frontier for the far right freedumb fighters?
Hi Jorge,
Meat sweats are an experience some people have after indulging in a large amount of carnivorous cuisine (and usually without much accompanying vegetables or starch). Struggling to digest the large amount of protein, the person may feel fatigued, lethargic, loss of appetite, feverish, and sweating/claminess all over their body. This can last as long as a day. I experienced this after engaging in an ill-advised meat eating competition with a fellow intern at a Shenzhen all you can eat Brazilian steakhouse back in 2016. I didn’t eat the whole next day.
Hope this helps!
Oh wow! Thanks Johosofat!
