I don't know if I have any actual facial blindness, but I have a terrible time recognizing people. In tv shows, it takes me half a series to recognize the main characters by appearance alone. I think I recognize features of someone more than the person. I have terrible name recall to the point I don't usually ask people their names because I know I'll forget it almost immediately. I also almost never recognize people out of context.
The average high this time of year is just below 70 F / ~20C. The nighttime temperature is closer to winter testing than any races. Sunset is around 4:30PM local (1230 UTC) so an evening or early night race would still get the lights. I think part of the reason for the time is getting the strip to agree to close.
Another race in the US. Usually those have good times. Oh, at night, still not terrible. Midnight!? Well, at least Australia will enjoy the race at a convenient time.
Some airports have fancy scanners that don't require removing anything. For everything else, maybe you were marked for precheck or similar? Its only a trend when your return trip is the same.
I'm a big fan of standard time myself, the light in the morning helps me wake up. I usually don't have a problem with the fall shift, but I've found myself slowly drifting my sleep back to saving time. I think it the near record highs in my area the past couple days. As a pedantic note, its saving time, no s, yes its really awkward to use.
They both worked in banking, so the math makes sense. For the sums I have a feel for most of the extremes and common ones, the triangular numbers, the maximum numbers, the missing or extra "ones" (4 digits that add up to 14, 4 digits for 11...). I usually just use the killer calculator for the other ones. At least on the desktop site its under the advanced settings.
That too is about my limit for set, although I might see the expanded ones too. As soon as Simon highlighted the cells in yesterdays feature he immediately knew it was set. I don't know how he does it.
It was probably a year after I started watching before I started attempting the puzzles myself. It started with Mark's videos that were under 45 min and Simon's that were under 30. Now I think my limit is under 90 minutes for Simon, except pencil puzzles, I'll try any of those. The video length can actually be a bad indicator of how difficult I find it. They both do math heavy puzzle really fast, and Simon has a knack with set theory.
I wouldn't call their videos training, more of guided solving of easy to monstrously difficult puzzles. You solving is the training. As a warning, if you start enjoying solving the featured puzzles, your old sources might lose the allure they once had.
Cracking the Cryptic has shown me the wonders of variant sudoku. My personal favorite variant is thermo. Their GAS series is a good introduction, or jump right in at logic masters
I believe it was off by necessity. So many teachers would be taking the day off anyway, there just wouldn't be enough staff. A large amount of student would be taking the day off too.
Edit: My previous job and current both get the same federal holidays off per year. My previous job grouped them together. This created blocks like the Friday after thanksgiving and a week around Christmas. My current just takes them on the actual day.
I'll do a slightly different take. I grew up in a part of the US with a very high Jewish population, so the public schools got the Jewish high holidays off. I didn't realize the schools being closed for those days was unusual until I moved away.
Lots of names, most of the pencil puzzles do. The first name I associated with that type was pic-a-pix. I might have come across a few unnamed before that time though. The Wikipedia page has the name as nonogram. The cross the streams variant has some extra rules, 1 contiguous region and no 2x2 full.

Hosted my parents for an early thanksgiving last weekend. Happy to have them around, also happy when I'm alone again.
