I'm curious if it is standard practice to name space-related-entities in English ("Smart Lander for Investigating Moon, or SLIM"), if this is a translation and in Japan they call it something different, or why the named it in English in case this is an exceptional case.
I just want to be able to exclude "basic economy" (and its synonyms). I don't want premium economy, I don't want basic economy. I just want economy. My understanding is that it's not a different cabin so isn't possible to filter for most airlines but it's extremely frustrating to track prices on google flights et Al and receive notifications of price drops only to find that they are basic economy.
It's funny, the author went out of their way to give the company the benefit of the doubt...but they come across extremely arrogant and sometimes vitriolic. I wouldn't have been so positive
Truly sorry to hijack, but if you have any recommendations for shared French vocab cards I'd greatly appreciate you pointing me in the right direction. I have some French from school, but would like to get back into it and it's...daunting.

This quote about a particular episode sums up Bluey for me. It's tremendously well written - funny to both kids and adults alike, and often hits you in the feels. It's genuinely good TV.
> HP ignored my questions about how many customers were affected and why it repeatedly gave you false information. It stated merely that all affected customers had been notified. It says: “We are taking steps to ensure we deliver the first-class experience customers can expect from HP at all times, including with regard to communications with specific customers.”
Corporate speak, especially when it is directly contrary to reality, is so frustrating.
Alas it appears that it is that way because the prison is extremely short staffed and they have to let a lot slide, rather than any progressive attitude toward prisoner reform.
If you don't mind me asking, what makes it worth the cost for you? I'm a long time mint user with very good financial discipline and can't imagine paying $100 per annum for such a service. But I'm open to learning new things and would love to hear your experience...
I agree in principal but I think it depends on the process to submit DMCA takedown requests. If it's trivially easy to abuse this system then I don't think it's fair for the burden to fall on the company (note: in general I'm pro-consumer, not pro-corporation).
I have too and I 100% agree that there is a strong non-piracy use-case for Plex. However if you browse the reddit r/Plex sub it's shocking the percent of people not only using it for piracy but also working to build their own user bases - I can't tell if they receive payment or not. I've seen many posts with people lamenting the behaviors of their end users, numerous with people asking for recommendations on request systems (where end users can request content) and even a few - I kid you not - complaining that they invited random people to use their Plex server but did not receive a response or were treated poorly when the end user (that term again) used it. All that is to say...I think many people are mis-using Plex
> This is why more Irish live in America than in Ireland
This is nonsense. Are you telling me there are over 5 million 1st generation Irish people living in America? Of course the number will be significanty greater if you include descendants
I have a friend who won't take medication (cold meds and otherwise) because they don't treat the illness "only the symptoms". While I understand the distinction I don't understand the lack of desire to treat the symptoms (assuming the meds aren't themselves damaging)
I wonder if, in the future, stable diffusion or other AI techniques can be used to generate nice icon sets and other UI elements. Not that I'd expect Apple levels of design, but anything to bridge the gap would be nice...I'm primarily a macOS user, secondarily a windows user, and my forays into *nix have always provided a poor first impression. Anecdotal, of course...
I don't think it had anything to do with familiarity to be honest - you noted that "Getting on a call was incredibly complicated, getting someone else in a call even more so." I suspect you overstated this point and, anecdotally, my experience was quite different to your own. I met with colleagues ranging from the technically proficient to technically incompetent and never had an issue. I'm not trying to repudiate your own experiences, just that I don't think things were so bad before Zoom that video conferencing was consistently awful
Edit: Hope that didn't sound argumentative - was not my intention
I literally don't think I ever had an issue getting on a WebEx call, using it many times a week every week for as many years as I can remember. Not that I'm passionate about WebEx, it just so happens to be the tool we used before we used Zoom.
I'm still not 100% clear on what zoom solved that led to such a surge in popularity. I'd used WebEx and other tools for work for years and they always seem "good enough". I probably prefer Zoom, but am not sure it improved life _that_ much...
