It's close enough that I can barely see the difference. It's not just different layovers, times, airlines, and seating, but mix in different prices for the same exact purchase depending on the website, time, date, or maybe even browser cookies and it's a lot more like an adversarial negotiation than simply selecting the best choice from an array of options.

Tbf booking sites are mostly pretty bad in my experience, and haggling has been there since...Priceline? Heavy JS, poor sorting, different prices, hard to define what you're looking for. It could be worse, but it's not great.

It's not the power coming in like this as such but how close it is to the downspout. And I mean, if the power has to be there, the downspout really should be moved.

Am I the only person wondering why the downspout is right by the electrical wires in the first place? I don't know all the things there are to know about code, but that seems bad, if for no other reason than it can result in things like this.

What a strange time to be alive.

It wasn't that bad, but it was absolutely overrated. Good soundtrack though.

It takes 7 seconds for the terminal to load on my brand new laptop. I'm sure there's some way to fix it, but that...just enrages me.

"Works fine in Dillo" is a golden endorsement.

And it's dog shit too.

The US military is not for national defense, it's a pay pig for a handful of corporations.

When civilians want something, it's always "those poor corporations!"

At least with the bill focused on military you can put forward the importance of "combat readiness", "supporting the troops", "taxpayer dollars", and other things that politicians often say they care about.

They are examples of complex and difficult tasks that humans are capable of when working together, implying through comparison reordering society is also achievable.
