Also, very few things up there are made to be durable in the face of collisions. That adds weight for, until recently, no apparent value. So even small pieces of debris are very dangerous to useful equipment.

I agree. This is only possible when all resource access flows from a predefined "root" resource via hyperlinks. If you're doing that, why force (arguably more difficult) accept header handling on your api clients? Then they have to set the

I agree. Most fad diets seem to be an elaborate trick to get you counting calories. They typically start out by dismissing calorie counting as difficult/boring/depressing (it is), then forbidding/strictly limiting/making less exciting extre

Even if this is 1/2 to 3/4 water weight loss, that still likely isn't healthy. You're right though, without more information to supply context it's hard to judge what is "too much".

I agree, they aren't. But here we're talking about TSA agents (who more or less acted appropriately, in my opinion) and Delta employees. I expect neither of these to perform well when balancing public safety against antagonistic attitudes.
