Okay, gtfo. That's not how we handle things. That's not how any group, political leaning, or organization can handle things if we ever want a good future. Once again, for good measure: gtfo.
No, my phone went into SOS mode yesterday. No apps, just a button to call 911. And yes, if you lose a ticket, you can indeed miss a flight. Only tale I have for that is a colleague who lost their ticket and the time it took to look up their details put them past boarding, they were stranded at the terminal, but its still an actual risk you can't wave away.
It takes 5 minutes to save an insane amount of stress and misfortune.
Leonardo De Lima, who works in technology, was on his way to Boston Logan International Airport around 5 a.m. for a business trip to Chicago when he realized his phone was in SOS mode. He initially thought it was a problem with his device, until he got to the Delta terminal and saw a lot of confused faces.
“I heard people talking about the outage, and everyone was lingering in the departure area because nobody could pull up their tickets on their phones,” the 32-year-old said. “I saw a lot of stress.”
The only people who are stupider are undecided or non-voters.
God, tell me about it. I've seen so many reactionary takes with what's going on in Gaza and the US support for it, insisting they're staying home over it, when if they thought out the problem for like 5 seconds more, they'd realize what absolute children they're being.
Not only is not voting going to result in America taking a MORE extreme stance on Gaza, but it also invites endless suffering from this and other extremist positions, that will hurt us, our families, and our loved ones. Real fucking strategery there guys. I really hope I'll have it in me to rub their faces in the inevitable consequences, but realistically I'll be too much of a shell to care after seeing everyone I love suffer.
I was about to say. There's a million concerns over environmental and economic effects (that I'll own up to ignoring when visiting family or exploring), but safety is still wayyy down the list. The statistic about being 20x more likely to die in a car crash on the way to the airport than the flight itself still holds very firmly true (and I'm being SUPER conservative about those numbers in case recent events tilt it, it's still a ~800x per-mile ratio).
Really? I mean, no comment on his actual health, but I think he looks fine in that photo, I can think of 3 straightlaced computer nerds in my life who more or less look exactly like that. Maybe just needs some exercise and veggies.
Exact same here. Totally fine with showing the pass from my phone, prefer it even. But the stakes are too high to skip the 5 minutes it takes to print a paper copy. I can almost guarantee that everyone else is one close call/missed flight away from doing the same thing, too.
I guess it comes down to the transition point. If they've adapted in that they're resistant to cancer developing or spreading in general, that has implications on what can be done to make humans resistant. If instead they've adapted to be less likely to get cancer from radiation levels that high, it's less useful, since most people generally aren't exposed to those levels.
Interstellar marketing was pretty interesting, they basically told you nothing about the movie, but communicated the vibes of it well. I don't think the first trailers even showed space, despite that being where the majority of the movie takes place.
In case you're missing it, this is what the Stephen King book and movie "Maximum Overdrive" is about, but technologically behind by 50 years. Radio signals and power surges just happen to influence machines all over the world into vengefully killing people.
Interesting that Squidward is only happy as a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle
