Oh man, I want that back.
Oh man, I want that back.
Shhh, Spirit Airlines is listening.
Counterpoint.
I have a piece of luggage that I love. It is, to within an inch in each dimension, as big as any airline I fly will let on as carry-on (I’ve seen people carry on larger, but mine is within the stated limits). I can carry it fully packed to the point of nearly bursting, and have done so when one of the wheels was broken.
But it has wheels, so if they’re functioning, why shouldn’t I use them?
Bean there, done that.
No, I’m not jelly. Or green, I’ve been here a year!
Eh. Bean there, done that.
So, first, you can’t be much more confident than an honest mistake. I didn’t even know I was in the wrong group.
Second, they weren’t reading my phone. You turn your phone face down to scan the QR code. They literally can’t read it like that. The system tells them where you are supposed to be, including boarding group. If they’re not trying to put you where you’re supposed to be, they’re probably tired of dealing with people like you.
Lastly, people fucking up the system by cutting in line are a part of why it takes so long to board. If you want to board earlier, man up and pay for a premium ticket.
Regarding your first tip, I’m not sure where you’re flying, but I fly around the US for work, and they absolutely will send you to the back of the line if you try to board in the wrong spot. Happened to me once recently by accident, got two flights and their boarding groups mixed up. They weren’t rude about it or anything, but they were not going to let me on before my group.
I can’t quite get myself to subject them to the amount of sweat generated during mowing the lawn. I’ve got some cheap nasty DeWalt cans for that. No ANC, but they muffle the sound outside pretty good, and as a bonus still have Bluetooth. Lawn mowing is prime podcast time.
Counterpoint, a good horseshoe neck pillow. I’ve got great, thick one made out of a real dense memory foam. Acts more like a slightly mold-able neck brace, keeps me from being that guy leaning on the passenger next to me. I’ve used it on 6+ hour flights and never had any pain or comfort issues.
I swear by my WH-1000XM4’s. I don’t even usually play anything, just turn the noise-cancellation on. Makes flying so much more chill.
I mean, everyone has a type. Even Manson had a fanclub.
Still, 🤮.
Tesla, Neurolink, The Boring Company, and Twitter are for sure all somewhere between over-valued meme stocks (at best) and scammy shit-heaps (at worst).
SpaceX, however, is actually doing good and cool stuff. Not that it doesn’t have any problems, it’s still owned by a moron.
Not sure how that would work since SpaceX is a private company. Pretty sure he would have to take SpaceX public first.
He will have to sell a rocket-full of Tesla stock though.
Makes me miss /r/whatisthisthing.
Edit: I’m a complete dunce, I forgot [email protected] exists. I’m even subscribed.
Ah that sucks. Have you tried rotating the USB-C cable? I’ve got something like that, but if I flip one end of the USB-C cable it works.
I got around this by keeping several USB-C to USB-C cables around, and buying female USB-C to male whatever adapters. Doesn’t cover everything, but enough that I got rid of a small crate full of cables and only have to keep a half-dozen or so other cables.
It’s literally a flag in the account settings.
That said, I think mass copying of Reddit content is the issue. Functionally, yes, Lemmy and Reddit are similar. But they do have different cultures/subcultures. Even within a given topic, when you have both a subreddit and a community, they will like and dislike slightly different things.
I think the solution would be for individual users to bring content (links, memes, etc. - not comments or entire threads) over that they found worthwhile, instead of bulk copying.
Related, with so many free ways to listen to music, by the time I’m spending money on music I’ve already decided it’s worth it. Maybe I’ve listened to it a ton. Maybe the lyrics speak to me. Maybe it’s just a particularly well composed piece of music. Either way, I’ve made the valuation of it being worth it before I spend the money.
