setBooleanon A man recreating air travel’s most glorious meals

On my last flight with JAL from Japan to Europe they served a MOS Burger themed building set. It was quiet funny to watch the whole plane trying to assemble their burgers.

setBooleanon Soldiers watch the US withdrawal from Bagram through the lens of Pokemon Go

I was too young to see the original release in a movie theater and was all the more exited to catch up on this when the Final Cut was released. Truly a remarkable and timeless piece of cinema. The 4K Dolby Atmos/Vision version is also highly recommendable if you've never seen this gem.

setBooleanon “Great resignation” wave coming for companies

I just want to thank you for sharing your story and for me it's really a wholesome one. Best of luck to you on your further ways.

setBooleanon After a week at my mom’s house I'm getting ads for her toothpaste brand

Wouldn't it be possible that the wife looked up the flag topic on Google after the discussion and that it got mixed up as both devices shared the same (external) IP during that time? And because of that you got this suggestion? Just playing devils advocate here.

I use Tweetdeck extensively on macOS but on mobile even as a web app it just isn‘t nearly as polished as a native app like Tweetbot.

setBooleanon Apple has a decade-long lead in wearables

That baffles me sometimes. A lot of people see some features that they think of as gimmicky on their own. But then all of the sudden Apple releases something new that utilizes all those little features and combines them to something groundbreaking.

That and an option to permanently opt out of their curation of my timeline. I just want to see the content of people I actually follow in a chronological fashion.

Fish sauce really is a gift of the gods and it saddens me that this pinnacle of flavour is nearly lost in the western world.

setBooleanon The media's lab leak fiasco

1. Who decides what is a "fringe" theory? You? The Government? The scientific community? Facebook/Twitter etc...?

2. ..Fringe opinions should have to work harder to get to the mainstream... No they shouldn't it is you the reader of those news who should make the decision of how much "brain time" this "fringe" news get.

3. Denying airtime to certain topics doesn't make them go away or sways people that believe them otherwise.

I really don't get that sentiment though, as a German citizen for example health care insurance is mandatory as in you pay a certain percentage of your salary each month towards health care insurance. So by any means it isn't the land of free healthcare some people made it to be. Also in the US there is the Charity Care Policy that applies when you make under a certain yearly salary.

setBooleanon Dear EU: Please Don't Ruin the Root
