US citizen here. Stayed in many hotels. Never once tipped for housekeeping. I’ve tipped for lots of small extras, like bag service, valet, etc. I know it’s a thing some people do, but it’s certainly not standard or expected. Cleaning the room is part of the stay price.

Technically your mouth connects directly to your asshole…

A very small minority of lawyers work criminal cases.

This lawyer in particular only works on Social Security Disabilty claims.

Woah woah woah. His punchability doesn’t compare to the absolutely smashable Mitch McConnell

The problem it solves is that most small airports are located miles away from the communities they serve. That isn’t an issue with a car, but it does suck when traveling.

Uber/Lyft have mostly solved this problem. However. There are plenty of small rural communities or small vacation destinations which are too rural to have taxis or uber/lyft.

Is it worth it? No. But it’s a legit problem

This is more complicated than you think. The vast majority of airports in the US are tiny little things you would barely know are there unless you’re a pilot. Most don’t have rental car services. Many are in communities where even lyft/uber are not available.

The flying car thing is still pretty dumb. But it’s not as dumb as it might first sound. One of the #1 problems my family has when we fly our (very small, very old) plane on trips is how to get from the airport to anyplace reasonable.

Woah woah woah. Not even close to true. The only things you can fly without a license is a single seat ultralight, paramotor, and similar things that most people would barely think of as a plane. There are very specific and restrictive requirements, both on the aircraft and what you can do with it.

Anything bigger, homebuilt or not, will require a LSA license at least ans many (if not most) a full PPL.

It’s not really surprising. The demand for printers has fallen off a cliff due to wide acceptance of digital alternatives. People barely need printers now and as such aren’t willing to pay much for them.

This is further exacerbated by the reality that a printer is actually a fairly high precision device and expensive to manufacture.

So you have an expensive to manufacture device that consumers aren’t willing to pay much for. So what happens? They adopt a consumable based business with the printers being locked down to force you to buy their overpriced, high margin consumables that have a low absolute price so consumers don’t think about it much.

Let’s say that we regulate away this lock in. What will happen? Well the price of printers would have to climb to match their actual cost to manufacture. That price would likely turn off consumers from buying them at all. The end result would be the end of the printer business altogether. Maybe not a bad thing as not printing at all is likely a better ecological outcome.

I think it’s more Luigi and less Floyd

As a pilot…the real faa maps take training to read, but they are quite accurate. But maybe they publish something useless and contradictory for drone operators.

About a year ago, and I don’t recall the specifics. I remember combing through trancode logs and not being able to figure out a path forward. I’m sure I could have solved it given enough time, but failing to play on Firefox or provide a clear solution was enough to convince me that the Wife Approval Factor was going to be too low.

I abandoned jellyfin shortly into my self hosting setup. Plex just worked, with Jellyfin I spent an hour trying to figure out how to get it to serve an acceptable to Firefox codec and never succeeded. I’m sure with more effort I could have figured out what the magic combination was, but it wasn’t obvious and I had too many other things to set up.

This is incredible

Right next to each other lol

As a family…I need the family sharing provided by steam. Especially the recent beta version. It’s fantastic.

Essentially yes. I don’t know how much of the designs but weight driven and earlier water driven clocks existed.

Quartz? Quartz clocks are about 100 years old. You make it sound ljke we went from sundials to Casios lol. Mechanical clocks are around 1800 years old. Pendulum clocks around 500 years old and spring mechanical slightly younger.

The regen level probably makes no difference if combined with already efficient driving. The idea of coasting by letting off the pedal fully in an EV is flawed. You “coast” in an EV by holding the pedal in a neutral power setting.

How about this. If self check out is a problem go back to paying cashiers.
