I agree on a lot of them. Miele however, my mother's last Miele dishwasher lasted 22 years and they were still selling spare parts up until the day she replaced it. That's pretty unheard of in today's day and age

It reminds me of the study of WWII airplane, when trying to figure out where to reinforce the planes. The key was the absence of data was more important than the plethora of data.

I use homebank. Download all your various transactions, load and tag them and you're done. You can build rules too so the more you use it, the more automated it becomes.

Sure, in vague terms, there is a giant cultural problem in the Middle East where locals don't have the education or training or (more importantly) drive to actually do work, so most good employees are expats, but almost all leadership

It's truly unexpected failures,in the context of flying the plane. Basically every failure state in flying has a procedure, and as a pilot you're expected to memorize some, and know how to find and follow the checklist or red page

Comes down to a few things. First, money. Second, location. Third, skill. The Middle East doesn't have nearly the pool of pilots to start with compared to North America, and even NA is suffering from an extreme shortage of pilots. (Won

I honestly don't know enough to have an opinion. I'm personally a fan of Star Alliance, but I don't know enough about the middle eastern airlines. I DO know that even the airlines in NA/Europe etc. have their own share o

How did they close them? In Toronto they put up caution tape. The people walked through it. They placed reasonable restrictions, and the unreasonable ones were ignored. Honestly one of the biggest benefits of the pandemic (and there were ve

Toronto is very similar. Outside of the very dense core, but still very much in Toronto proper, you can get lost in forests and ravines and have to be on the lookout for coyote!

Sure a small backyard isn't great... But I live in a major city and instead we just walk to the enormous park, which is way bigger than any backyard. It's a very different mindset that I thought I'd hate but now that I'm

Can't imagine how this could possibly go wrong. Definitely not false results due to changes in skin colour, hair colour, etc. I'm really really not in favour of the trend to biometricize everything because I just do not think our

Yes, you can. That legislation passed right before covid as a modification to the original legislation. The original bill didn't allow it, but it got challenged in court and the government was given a deadline to add that clause.

Also legally, if a company makes an offer and you make a financial change on the basis of that offer, the company is legally liable for all costs incurred. Now, getting that money is another story...

I truly, truly hope this works as described, even partially, on humans. It is so frustrating to see someone who would be able to walk if only the signal could get to their lower extremities. My grandfather is a paraplegic, and man how much

Not to be nit-picky, but I'd just add the caveat "having sex while not married has become fashionable in the last 50 years, after a few hundred years of Catholic puritanism"... Sex outside of marriage has been extremely accep

One thing I noticed in Norway too was on street parking meters that also had electric charging cables. Tap your card, pay for parking and the minor electricity cost just gets added to the parking charge.
