I like NZ.

When you're done, you get up, walk to the counter, pay, and leave.

Card never leaves your sight. No timing issues. No tipping.

The only thing I dislike is that the food is expensive and disappointing.

Even nightly doesn't seem to be necessary; I've used those for years without issue

Get your parents to write an actual will.

Where things seem to get messiest is if someone gets an 'advance' on what they'll receive in the will, except it's not written into the will so there is disagreement on whether they should get a full share or not.

~10 elections with ~100M votes each puts that in the ballpark. Might only be looking at presidential elections?

The most obvious one for me (maybe because I live there...) is that NZ is basically vertical, rather than being on a big angle.

Uneven spacing is normal around the over wing exit(s) but I agree that it doesn't quite seem right.

The engine hamster-pouch seems not quite right for a 737NG. I'm a bit suspicious of the air data probes, too.

NLG but no MLG is a very very big red flag. Altitude is also much much higher than would normally be expected to have gear down, and air to air shots with gear extended are rare.

The viewing window on the 1L door seems a bit low.

That said, it's quite hard to find a picture from this angle for comparison.

You need to print a postage label and mail yourself.

I work in post, but not in Canada.

Postal facilities often move >100k items a day. Or much more. Occasionally, a parcel will go missing, lose its label, be destroyed and unrecognizable, or end up in a place no one thought it was possible for something to fit. Thin items are especially bad for this.

There is only so much that can be done to try and follow it via CCTV and/or scans. Whether they have done everything practical, I don't know.

We don't machine sort passports (which reduces the chances of it getting lost/destroyed), but I think that's only new passports coming from the printers. Your passport may have been treated like any other courier item - assuming Canada's processes are similar.

The rest of it is probably a question for a travel sub.

None of that is necessary these days; all you need is to scrub the encryption keya from RAM and cache.

The issue is reliably detecting tampering without undue false alarms.

That makes sense, but then if it was a modern photo I'd kind-of expect the background (or the whole thing) to be in colour?

After initial tests created a series of large holes in the wall of the lab, the higher-power Scanning Tunneling Tennis Ball Microscope project was quickly shut down.
