There's a lot I don't understand with this, but why pull back airplanes which had already left the gate?

Discovery was kept in as close to as-flown condition as possible to be the vehicle of record for future research. No museum on the planet is better equipped to handle things like that than the Smithsonian.
Hopefully the title transfer is enough to protect it from moving. Certainly 80 million isn't enough to restore an SCA and construct a building to house the orbiter.
I worry about what happens someday when leadership changes and the priority becomes value extraction rather than creation, if that makes sense. We've seen it so many times with so many other tech companies, it's difficult to believe it won't happen to Cloudflare at some point.
It's irritatingly bad at consuming media and browsing the web. No ad blocking, so every webpage is an ad-infested wasteland. There are so many ads in YouTube and streaming music. I had no idea.
It's also kindof a pain to connect to my media library. Need to figure out a better solution for that.
So, as a relatively new iPad user it's pleasantly useful for select work tasks. Not so great at doomscrolling or streaming media. Who knew?
You make a good argument. I see the functional point of a top cut. Helps prevent condiment excursions. Less likely to break in half. BUT, it's just so much bread. And the hotdog does want to pop out.
I'm unaware of any baseball park or hotdog stand where top-cut buns are sold. This is clearly an established best practice. Hotdog consumers have made an aesthetic choice here.
Shortly after the hospital incident and after much time spent scrutinizing every ingredient label the law changed. We were excited about this at first. It became much easier to identify things we couldn't have in the house.
The unfortunate side effects of the law were most visible in the bread aisle, where nearly every item now contains sesame. This included all of the store brands and most of the brand-name products. Initially, we were limited to only one brand of bread (shout out to Kings Hawaiian). We also found a few artisan / local boutique options we could trust, but that's a pretty expensive way to make a PB&J.
Our situation has improved a bit. Recently a second, slightly less expensive, name brand sandwich bread went sesame-free. We're still stuck with oddly expensive artisanal hotdog buns. Why are the fancy ones all top cut instead of side cut? It's just weird that way.
Anyway, I expect that eventually more brands will go sesame-free as recipes change and factories go through whatever update process where it makes sense to separate allergens.
We're still happy about the regulation change and how easy it is now to identify dangerous items. Seeing global brands add sesame to a product to avoid whatever cost necessary to change their process was...not endearing. Hopefully their share price went up a few cents I guess.
The new interface looks nice, but it does take a bit to re-learn where things are. Most things I do regularly are there, but the more occasional things I have to search for. Irritating, but that's just part of software upgrades.
Attachment handling in the New Outlook is extremely frustrating. Users cannot save a file to an arbitrary location on their machine - it's OneDrive only. If the attachment is a file Office knows what to do with you do get the option to open it in <Office App>, but only after it uploads the file to OneDrive. Often the app won't launch, so you're still stuck trying to figure out where (if) it saved the attachment.
You actually don't even get to pick where in OneDrive the file goes, so they get dumped in Documents or wherever Outlook decides makes sense.
In a hurry and just need to save an emailed PowerPoint to your desktop so you can get it on the screen quickly? Too bad.
Got a lovely organization system for a type of .csv that gets emailed daily? Well, you can't save directly there anymore.
I'm not aware of an email client since Pine where users couldn't arbitrarily choose where an attachment goes.
Same with browsing the web on an iPad outside of the home pi-hole'd network. Howwww do people deal with this every day?
The iPad is a work-issued device so I don't often use it for personal things. Every time I do it's a reminder of how irritating it is to do so.
It's kindof odd; before being issued an iPad I thought they were only useful as content consumption devices. Turns out it's super handy for quick remote access to work resources but locked to an ad-infested wasteland for general web browsing and streaming media. Who knew?
Nothing lasts forever.
Glad to see them getting some credit for the hard work!
Read that book over a year ago and it's still eating at me.
It's kinda fun to see the playground bully described in such scientific terms though.
Please do not harass us with calls and perpetual emails asking to schedule calls. If a call is what it takes to answer basic security and pricing questions, I loathe your company name before we've spoken and am very interested in doing business with anyone who *does* post that stuff online.
I do not understand why that's difficult, but it must be.
I wish I could use what this guy is selling.
I wound up removing / reinstalling firefox...same exact setup otherwise. No more cloudflare (or vastly fewer) prompts. The internet is usable again.
Hope that helps.
I'd personally be equal parts creeped out and curious about the hardware if that showed up on a car I bought. If it's a former fleet vehicle, its probably deactivated.
The particular sound described makes me think of older pre-lte stuff, which in my part of the world was abandoned and became useless a couple years ago.
Wish I could upvote that twice.
