  • If I'm only allowed one type of pencil it's good old #2 (I'm more of a pen snob)

  • Delta is like the fucking Target of air travel I swear. They're still a shitty mega corporation but it's where you pay a tiny bit extra to not use Walmart/United

  • I'm US based, I only fly Air Alaska basically but obviously I live in the Northwest. There's a fallacy though that "oh, ethical consumption is impossible therefore it doesn't matter." Just because it's a choice between Delta, AA and United, doesn't mean you shouldn't still pick the slightly less shit option and fly Delta.

  • Non-North America based if possible, Air Alaska group if not IMO, Southwest used to be a decent option but not since the hedge fund took over. Might be other choices if you're East Coast based. Might be CA options better than Air Canada that I'm unfamiliar with too.

  • Everyone keeps flying on United despite a million stories happening to "other people" but it won't happen to them. Fucking honestly I'm running out of sympathy for people who give their money to profoundly shitty companies and then are shocked when they're treated badly.

  • Was milk of the poppy not obviously literally opium (unrefined morphine)?

  • Cyanide is legendarily fast acting. Among the fastest known poisons.

  • Thallium was pretty famous for this until its mechanism of toxicity and antidotes were better understood. Slow acting, tasteless, odorless, colorless, symptoms weird and mimic other things. Used to be used for rat poison but the risk of accidental exposure was too high. Requires late 1800s technology.

  • Ah, where I am it's "designed to seat" more than 16 for it to require a CDL. More than 9 seems more reasonable honestly, we have lots of non-CDL school "busses" here.

  • Busses that size often don't require CDLs, definitely don't require a CDL B. A true bus is much, much bigger than a 350 (source, I drive a bus). An E350 has a GVWR of around 4-5 tons. I drive busses with GVWRs of 16-27 tons. (Their visibility is much, much better than this because the engine is in the back like basically all full busses)

  • Shot and bombed, oh yeah, and they and their families were SET ON FIRE AND BURNED ALIVE

  • At this point FOREX?

  • NHTSA director resigning amidst mass layoffs in 5...

  • Deleted

  • It still does actually, tanking the resale value will dramatically cut into new car sales. Encouraging current owners to sell absolutely does have an affect.

    (It also raises insurance premiums for Tesla's, also hurting their market)

  • I fixed this ages ago, I am pointing out that it's unacceptable from a UX standpoint. And it was in the last year for the record, this definitely wasn't just a fully solved issue years ago.

  • Which is great for the people who have the time to invest to know how to use a computer via the terminal, I used to be one of those people, now I have had various full time jobs that don't use computers for nearly a decade since then though and I don't want to do much with terminal anymore (it took me like 10 minutes to remember 'top') It's hard to take a polished, user friendly OS seriously when I couldn't access the NTFS windows backup partition on my laptop without using terminal, because they needed elevated permissions to see because they were, naturallly, created by another user. I legitimately couldn't just open the file manager as root to copy and paste my files into the new root partition without thinking about it. Ridiculous hand holding clunkiness.

  • You've given me instructions that require terminal use, your argument is invalid. If it doesn't either work out of the box or is immediately fixable without going into the terminal, then it's not ready yet.
