My "Guess what Poo Tin is full of?" joke is a Ronald Reagan type joke, even JFK was making those witty jests. But I don't mean much by it. I think it's just for my own personal amusement. Which is why I ever do anything I do.

Proposing a First-Class Security Zone Near the Cockpit

9:15 a.m.

I think we need a security zone in first class, and the pilot's cabin or cockpit, where the people seated there are special, and are screened. When you deny people entry, there's no security threat then.

This illustration is a world map with a unique projection approach, offering a distinct visual representation of global geography. The continents are displayed in light blue, with a focus on maintaining accurate land area proportions, likely in contrast to more traditional projections like the Mercator. The map is overlaid with country borders, providing a clear delineation of national boundaries. There is a black line running horizontally, which likely represents the equator, dividing the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The map's creator, "@neilkaye," is noted in the bottom left corner, indicating the source of this visualization. This style of map highlights the true sizes of countries and continents, offering an educational take on how geographical representations can vary. The absence of additional geographical features such as mountains or rivers simplifies the focus to pure land area and borders.

Calling This the Real World Map

This is the real world map.

Chef Jeremy Chan is featured prominently in this YouTube video frame, captured inside a professional kitchen. The atmosphere is bustling, with multiple chefs visibly engaged in culinary tasks. Jeremy Chan, wearing a white chef's jacket and a brown apron, is positioned in the foreground. He leans slightly forward and addresses the camera directly with a focused expression. The lighting is bright, emphasizing the stainless steel surfaces and the organized chaos typical of a high-end kitchen. Behind him, other chefs are busy, adding to the dynamic energy. The setting is professional and efficient, underscoring the high standards of a Michelin-starred establishment. Prominent on-screen text humorously advises viewers, “If you're watching this, please don't order well-done,” highlighting a common culinary preference for steak preparation. The video is presented by Eater, a channel known for its culinary content, and is sponsored by American Express, as indicated by the logo in the upper right corner.

Well-Done Burgers, McDonald’s and Restaurant Steak Etiquette

2:30 a.m.

Like Trump, I like well done, especially at McDonald's. Because I hate blood. I went with Alex Marsh and Uwin to a cool restaurant in UK. I asked for medium well, which is as far as I'd like to go. I ended up chewing filaments or beef ligaments, connective tissue, whatever. I spit it out politely, but whatever. I think 90%, or 100%, well done. But if you go to a restaurant, as a form of respect to the chef, you want to ask for medium well, medium rare, or rare.
