What form of travel are airlines competing with in the US? Travel by train is basically so bad that it’s for entertainment purposes only and any distance over 300 miles is more expensive and time consuming by car.

The fact that the airport/TSA experience can be so difficult and airlines are still fine is a testament to the lack of viable alternatives.

Is this possible on iOS? The only way I’ve seen is with a Javascript bookmarklet.

This might be one of those MiB things:

> A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it.

Many individuals can help themselves, but on the whole the species cannot.

In the first year of my child’s life, we received many duplicate copies of books as gifts. Often this was because the duplicated book was beloved by multiple people who wanted to pass on their enjoyment. We gave many of those away. I would expect this is reasonably common and would result in the opposite of what you’ve described.

My company is moving away from the Dell XPS. We’ve had nothing but problems with the devices, primarily the terrible “killer” Wi-Fi and Bluetooth adapters. The support has been abysmal which makes it worse.

I hear Lenovo is making good stuff though. We’ll see how that goes.

I went looking for an alternative client but as far as I can tell it doesn’t exist. I would love an extremely lightweight (even CLI) implementation I could use for chat and kick up the hog sized full client for calls or whatever.

If our representatives weren’t all so old, they might have a concept of these types of issues. Unfortunately without age limits we’re stuck with candidates so old that most lack an awareness of the most common issues of living and working with the internet.

It’s the first paragraph of the article.

> slim tires that routinely got banged up on New York City streets, turning the wheels into dead weights riding on thin scalps of rubber.

It’s been going on longer than that. I’ve been forced to wear pants in the library for YEARS.

It is awful, but so is office on windows. I get so many weird lockups, crashes, and file desynchronizations. Office is one of the worst pieces of software I have to run in windows.

This is definitely the trick. My wife and I buy plenty of IKEA stuff, but I haven’t been beyond the exit warehouse in years.

Aerodynamics issues likely add a lot of complexity, though I’m sure there are plenty of other factors that make launching a rocket hard.

Ignoring the sarcasm, more than 32,000 people are killed and 2 million are injured each year from motor vehicle crashes in the US. It’s no heart disease (600,000+ deaths - leading cause in the US) but for the healthy and young, it’s a leading cause of death/side effects (injury). So in some sense you’re probably right.

> seemingly from putting multiple chips on everything.

This irritates me so much. I don’t need or want computer chips in most of my appliances. Outside of what is needed for the efficient operating of an engine, I don’t want a bunch of electronics in a vehicle. If the shortage is just chips, could we go back to manufacturing goods without them? It’s what I wanted anyway.

Keepass, Calibre, and 7-zip come to mind.

I have tried doing this a few times but always ended up stumped and eventually gave up. It’s difficult to find processed foods (e.g. yogurt, cereal, peanut butter) without sugar and so easy to mistakenly get foods with sugar on accident. Baked goods of almost all kinds have sugar by necessity, so they’re generally out. This doesn’t even account for the natural sugars in fruits and the like.

How committed are you to no sugar and how have you addressed all that? I’d love to try again with some better strategies.

In defense of the short-sighted public (me), I don’t know the operating costs, profit requirements, accounting model, etc of a hired car service. I can’t assume any time the price of a product goes down, that someone is trying something shady.

I can say I loved Uber et al primarily because unlike any experiences I ever had with calling a taxi, a car actually showed up to bring me to my destination.

If I correctly interpret your definition of “the public” to mean “the common men and women using these services”: it’s a bit unfair to give them the blame, rather than pursue a failure of regulators or regulations.

> We are training kids that someone is always watching. That they have to censor their thoughts and hold in their feelings rather than talk about them with others for fear of it being determined to be 'wrong'.

This isn’t entirely new. Without context you could be describing many religions.

Hardware

Yes, this is pretty much what they do.

Surely this would cause things to be worse as everyone in proximity to this van would start looking down at their phones to figure out why they stopped working

> The Bernoulli effect explanation is bogus.

I hear this but never seem to get any further info. Why are wings shaped with a curved top and flat bottom? Is there a good summary I can go read to understand this all?

I don’t know that I’d count Medicare since it’s not for the poor, it’s for people over 65 regardless of income. Social security also goes to everyone regardless of income. Calling public schools a welfare program disproportionately allocated to the poor seems like a stretch too.

Medicaid makes sense though, which is apparently about 10% of the federal budget.

This got me curious. Some quick googling indicates that likely isn’t the case. Apparently the US spends about double on corporate subsidies than the amount it spends on social welfare programs.

Why?

My wife recently suggested that mine may be brought on by my seasonal allergies. I get them infrequently, but thinking back the timing is about right. I wish I’d kept a log.

It’s not just unpopular, it’s clearly false. The mobile gaming industry is the fastest growing segment and represents $77.2B in revenue.

Any with a population and land spread comparable to the US? I imagine that would make more sense in a small country with low diversity of terrain/population/etc.

Company of 20 here. Same.
