It's a combination of the definitions for "flying" and "car".
Cytobit··on Google appears to have deleted its political ad archive for the EU
This article reports on the removal of access to the ad archive. No where does it claim the onus is on Google to maintain this data. Most of top level comments here are arguing against a straw man.
Cytobit··on Teens turned their rooms into tech-free zones. This was the result
I'm interested in the whole low-tech concept, but the litter box is going too far. I draw the line at indoor plumbing.
Cytobit··on U.S. senators introduce new pirate site blocking bill, "Block BEARD"
Pirates always pull this out as justification. Like they are starving people who are forced to steal bread just to survive. Maybe just because a piece of media has been published in the past, we don't all have some God-given right to access it in perpetuity for a nominal fee. Lost media is not a sin.
Cytobit··on Australia widens teen social media ban to YouTube, scraps exemption

Cytobit··on “Accentism” is real, but impossible to end
> The unrecognized perception that one's own accent is not actually an accent is the keystone of accentism.

Is there anything research to support that claim? Seems like it is just a regular tribal thing (us vs them, in-group vs out-group).

Cytobit··on Have Fruits and Vegetables Become Less Nutritious? (2011)
Does anybody have a good suggestion for figuring out which produce is seasonal? Do you just buy stuff grown in/around your home country? It seems like I can usually buy any vegetable I want, regardless of the time of year, so I have no sense of when anything is in season.
Cytobit··on Microsoft Fluent UI System Icons
You made me curious about the origin of wiring money. Turns out, it was named after bank transfers carried over telegraph wire. I think it is safe to assume that wire transfers are still carried over wires. So it is actually not anachronistic at all, but is technically correct (the _only_ kind of correct).
Cytobit··on HP Instant Ink is “ink as a service”
> Most of the time, buying a whole new printer costs less than simply buying replacement ink.

Why do people always say this? You can't determine if that is actually cheaper unless you know how much ink the printer comes with. I am genuinely curious.
