Use a different airline, the free market will take care of the rest!

GIFs or screenshots from this are ubiquitous in meme culture in areas of the net I frequent. There's one I'm thinking of where the cat looks suspiciously at the camera.

If you are in the US, generic breakfast cereals have come a long way. They come in larger boxes or bags and are basically identical. In the past they didn't have Cinnamon Toast Cru…

Someone at Amazon hilariously uploaded a job description that was filtered through this extension: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28869819 > Are you interested in building hy…

I've tried a few times to switch to Kea in PFsense but it crashes my network fiercely.

It's a constellation of tools that have the suffix "arr" - a winking nod to what a stereotypical pirate says, because they are commonly used for media piracy. Some examples are Rad…

There is in Atlanta. An informal system of cash only mini buses without fixed routes and a focus on Spanish language.

I know of an elevator that is also a ticketed access point to a stadium so the elevator operator also scans tickets and gives out wristbands. Very nice for wheeled accessibility.

I love the game and I'm nostalgic for when games were extremely difficult but for many the best way to experience Grim Fandango without such frustration might be by watching a comm…

One issue with gravelmap in my area is that some people don't post the best routes so they don't get crowded...

Start of the unix epoch obviously. I also like the ISO standardization of shipping containers explanation.

I didn't notice a difference personally during a long unemployment stint. Not being employed lends a lot of free time to focus on self development and to be an interesting person w…

This doesn't address your (valid) systemic concerns, but on efficiency the way I like to use links like this is by adding them to a queue for later, then, if I have an opportunity …

The article explains why they made the decision not to do a traditional dog-bone interchange with two circular roundabouts. Namely, there were right of way limitations and a need t…

I'm busy so I didn't read the paper - is there a reason to use neosporin instead of petroleum jelly? In addition to your concern, many people are actively allergic to the ingredien…

EVs are often festooned with cameras which is a disincentive to opportunistic crime. At fast charging stations there's usually other people sitting in their cars which is another d…

2 is pretty easy to explain in my opinion. It's not hard to find people who are passionate about aeronautics who want to build a radical new product, rather than be cog number 1348…

This solution is a clean one module plug and play solution, that seems to be the justification for not doing a kludgier hack like that.

FYI, BOK tower is in Tulsa, not OKC. It is a bit strange to look at it in person with the WTC connection.
