The continued existence of airports terminals is weird. Its like a temple devoted to muda. They solve a synchronization problem by cacheing all the inputs for the flight manifest instead of making effort to pull all the inputs just in time.

Oh how fascinating. What is the connection between the beverage and album? Or is it just a spurious reference by the headline to drive engagement?
