Long ago I played this game called Airport Mania. In it you’re an ATC. There’s like 10 stages (airports), with several levels in each stage in increasing difficulty. There are diff…

Ah right okay. I didn’t know that. TIL. Thanks :)

Actually I’m not so sure about that. The turning on and off quickly part. Because in my country (in Asia) there’s surplus energy from renewables (solar, wind) during the daytime, s…

> People that didn't have the skills to compete, now do. Come on now, you can’t be mad that people acquired the skills. Realize that whatever your frustration is, those people who …

For example when I buy coffee in America the barista says “awesome!” I think they mean well. But it feels weird.

I think this “awesome”, “amazing”, “super exciting” phase came much later than the moon walking era. Remember it’s been over 50 years since humans walked on the moon. Much has chan…

> stick shifts are also possible Ah, let me add on to this from the other perspective. I live in a country where cars are driven on the left side of the road. ie., the steering whe…

Wow. > I often have to make repeated presses on my iphone until it registers. This makes me really curious. And you seem to have a problem with all your Apple devices. That’s why I…

Though I don’t own one, I’m fortunate enough to occasionally be able to drive around a “Benz”. It’s my dad’s. Over here we prefer saying “Benz” rather than “Mercedes”. It’s a W212 …

We’re going off track, but I’m curious as to whether you experience this problem only on Apple devices, and not – for example – Android devices? (btw, it’s an honor to be able to r…

There’s a Phrack article that’s relevant. Internet Voting https://phrack.org/issues/69/11

Thank you. I didn’t know.

Why not use antibacterial soap instead of NON-antibacterial soap? Wouldn’t it be even more effective?

That’s anecdotal. So do you think iPhones built in China have terrible build quality? How about the ones made in India? I have an India-built iPhone — can’t tell a difference. Chin…

Why those 3 countries in particular? Wouldn’t this work anywhere (provided it’s not in a war zone or a volcano zone etc)?

I was going to say what I’m about to say as a reply to the parent, but then I saw your comment mentioning Japan. The rooms in Clayton Bay Hotel in Hiroshima absolutely has a nice p…

What should they have defaulted to? I mean, wouldn't any language they choose exclude others?

Isn't that what's meant by "functional"?

I remember when they originally launched. Happened around the same time I was looking for an email client. Postbox felt the slickest back in the day, yet I ended up not using it du…

> with the "submitted" dates reset to reflect that Huh. Okay.

Oh! Okay! That's reassuring, thanks!

[Off-topic] I'm getting an eerie sense of Deja Vu. I remember reading this exact thread (exact question, exact replies) a few days ago. But right now it says this question was post…

For those who don't know, Digilocker is a govt initiative. Also, it is opt-in and not mandatory. If you don't want to use it then don't bother. Nobody will force you to install the…

It's a very cool idea. However, I gave it "Jane Eyre" (a mid-19th century novel by Charlotte Bronte; it's a classic) with the expectation that it will return "Wuthering Heights" – …
