I guess the lesson here is that none of us can really make any general statement about the quality of customer service between the US and Europe.

This isn’t true. I’ve flown many times within the EU out of Sweden without showing ID at any point in the process. Also if the security at the airport works, why would they need to see your ID anyway? Edit: see here https://europ

Well the passenger actually _hadn’t_ boarded. Someone else had. Their checks found the extra passenger afterwards. The mistake was letting the original passenger on and that was fixed later.

The solution to traffic is definitely not self driving cars. If truly self driving cars became available which cost no more than comparable (non self driving) cars, then the total cost of driving would go down. Here in “total cost” I’m incl

Yeah I’d be surprised if this method weren’t just as fast. And if it’s not, would the difference just be to run the server with a ramdisk and to maybe turn off some of the durable setting to speed things up ( https://www.postgres

I’ll explain why this is not necessarily true. If you are able to take home leftovers, there is less incentive not to end up with leftovers. Hence the amount of leftovers should _increase_ as a whole. Some of those leftovers will be left in

What's your point? That there might sometimes be leftovers even if you plan to finish it? So what? People also take left overs home and sometimes never eat them. It could very well be the case that places that don't send home boxe
