For me, this is the maxim that governs speaking with someone defending a totalitarian regime.
If the person has no issue that people have to be kept by force INSIDE for the country to function, then we have a fundamental disagreement on what is good and what is bad and any further discussion is a waste of time.
Lot of hate on Garmin sleep tracking in this thread, but I love it.
Maybe it is not super accurate, but it was eye-opening for me to see how the score changes for the worse even with a little bit of alcohol. I am way more careful with when and how much I drink since I've started wearing a Fenix 6 few years back
The dissolution in acetone is nicely demonstrated here https://youtu.be/NF4VJJKTjy8?t=835
The guy does it in order to be able to pay with a prosthetic eye.
For anybody wondering wth is with a guy sculpting dioramas about obscure celebrity misadventures - he was formerly half of the Hip-Hop Comedy Duo, Sketch Artists, and behemoth Irish podcasters 'The Rubberbandits'. Probably one of the greatest neo-dadaists and proponents of Aestheticism in Europe today.
Some might even know them without realising it - their incredibly provocative Richard D. James-esque 'Dad's Best Friend', a sonic assault about isolation and toxic masculinity, was featured prominently in the Trainspotting Sequel, "T2"
If by 'the gutter' you mean cheaper - thanks Ryanair! I don't like the experience of flying either, but there is no denying that it is accessible to anybody today, 20 yrs ago it was still a luxury.
Regarding the destinations, yes, Emirates does not fly from Memmingen to Stanstead. But why would anybody, unless they live in the village next to either.
I don't understand this hate on Ryanair. Just treat it for what it is, a super cheap airline if you avoid all the upsells. No one is being forced do fly with them.
I don't fly with them, and likely never will, simply because a coworker once showed me their checkout flow (back in 2011) and I found the amount of dark patterns to try and get you to accidentally spend more than you meant so disgusting I swore I'd never do business with them.
Being cheap is one thing, trying every trick in the book to try and make money the customer didn't mean to spend is another thing altogether as far as I'm concerned. That is worthy of hate.
This is the true advantage of a competitive marketplace, your parent commenter votes yes to dark patterns where the person who can dodge them wins, and you vote for honest, open checkouts for a higher price. Luckily, you two don't have to agree and as long as there enough of you, both will coexist.
Imagine if you had to agree and compromise on a single airline?
We already live in a world where we don't let companies behave in the most abject ways possible. You just want to force your own values on everyone, and we've already seen that people are at odds with them. You replied to someone who demonstrated their liking to that method, yet you STILL think only your way is right.
But you know this in advance! Try booking with Swiss, you also get a ton of upsell on insurance, car rental and what not. Then you sit in their business class seat and get an advert screened infront of you that you cannot skip. That makes me angry, not Ryanair.
Did they eliminate the competition because people chose them over the other providers, or are they the only option because no other airline chose to offer that flight segment?
It’s not that simple. I’ve seen several routes where ultra low cost carriers simply lost against normal airlines. Especially when there are multiple airports in a given city, they often loose at usable airports. For example in Brussels.
It is a ridiculous claim. It is always a choice, you are not really forced to fly in any case. If you do want to fly, or have a very strong reason to, there are other means of transports, or flying to different airpots if you really want to avoid Ryanair.
On my phone, I have a faceid requirement on basically any app, so getting it ripped off my hands would be just a minor inconvenience.
Laptop on the other hand...
Many times working on the train i've been thinking about some accelerometer based emergency lockdown. Can't be that hard to do.
Agreed, as long as it has a low input latency and allows me to do some basic key re-mapping, I don't really care. Used iterm for a long time as well, but have not touched 95% of the features and it was just a distraction.
I used iterm2 for ages, but then somehow defaulted to terminal.app. It is fast and that is basically all i need from a terminal emulator, everything else is taken care of by tmux.
I was motivated to learn Dvorak in order to get rid of bad keyboard habits. And happily stuck to it. Not sure that I type any faster, but it feels somehow as a more rhytmical, much more pleasant experience.
This mirrors my experience. When I was a teenager I could type rather quickly using only two fingers on each hand. I figured I'd be typing a lot my whole life and it'd be easier to re-train proper typing habits on a whole new layout rather than trying to adapt my QWERTY habits I picked up while playing Runescape in elementary school.
It took about a month to learn, but on the side it largely fixed my QWERTY habits too, and I can freely switch between them pretty easily.
The rhythmic feeling is Dvorak's hand alternation. I use Colemak because it is better for my native tongue, but I really would have preferred the rhythmic typing of Dvorak had it worked as well for other languages.
This is called 'security thorough obscurity' - no one can mess with your computer in case that you forget to lock it (e.g. when you go make yourself coffee at work).
If the person has no issue that people have to be kept by force INSIDE for the country to function, then we have a fundamental disagreement on what is good and what is bad and any further discussion is a waste of time.
