True but moreso than your average business, airlines are dependent on the revenues from the customers at the margins. In the short term, the plane needs to fly whether it's full or not. Even the lowest fare customer brings in more reve

I imagine over millions of returns it probably evens out. Also, for the majority of taxpayers in the US, the tax table does things like: AGI is 40,001 to 40,025 then your tax is X dollars. Being accurate to the penny isn't worth the tr

No, but they might want to turn away a specific employee for an otherwise protected reason. Don't want to hire a black employee? Run a credit check. Statistically, black individuals have lower credit scores than white individuals. Deny

I kind of want the site to have my name and address so they know where to send my goods. Of course, for digital purchases, your point is completely valid.

I've had my number with GV for years and get plenty of SMS delivered and sent, even with services where I never explicitly asked to use SMS as a 2FA or a method of contact. I guess my service providers don't care enough to block i

These are aluminum cans, I presume? Is the “hot” coffee more like lukewarm coffee or is this something that one would only be consumed in the winter when one is wearing gloves?

Every car I've driven that was made in the past decade has volume control as two buttons on the steering wheel. There may or may not be a knob but the knob is less convenient than using the buttons right next to your hands. My current

Thing is, those cars with touch screen climate controls will let you set a temperature target much like your home thermostat. Once you figure out the right temperature, you don't really ever have to change it. I haven't changed th

As always, ChatGPT seems to be the answer. Quick, practical, and possibly even correct.

Find a life partner. One cooks the other cleans up. :) The clean as you go method works well with most recipes though. There are dishes that come together really quickly and you can’t walk away from or others that must be monitored constant

Saturdays are frequently spent with me watching sports and my wife puttering in the kitchen a few feet away. I’ll pop in to help with retrieving ingredients or prepping later steps so things are ready when she needs them but it’s her way to

Only a single data point but if you tried to make assumptions about my wife based on her name (married or maiden) you would likely be very, very wrong.

A properly sized tea kettle would solve that but since you already have the electric kettle there’s no sense in buying a new stovetop vessel until the electric kettle burns itself up.

Yes. That happens sometimes.

Those people made a choice to uproot their lives completely of their own volition. Sometimes those choices don't work out and they always come with consequences.

I can’t imagine a scenario where someone with that setup would be streaming YouTube often enough to spend the effort to block the ads. Seeing one ad a month isn’t worth the effort to manage YouTube ad whack-a-mole.

Same. Oregon has the worst T-Mobile coverage in the country. Something like half the state has no coverage. That's fine for the uninhabited areas but I will drop coverage between my house and the grocery store and I live in a Portland

True but T-Mobile's whole spiel is that they are the "uncarrier" completely different than those legacy carriers. Turns out, that might not be true.

People were bored sitting at home. Getting out in your car and driving stupidly fast on empty roads was one way to alleviate that boredom. My 25mph road regularly became a drag strip.

My favorite bit of Apple user experience is when I get a text and don't read it immediately. My phone will buzz me again two minutes later to really reinforce the urgency. /s

Ugh. I can't imagine having phone notifications on for email. To me, the whole point of email is that it isn't an urgent matter.

Well they are getting paid 13 cents an hour, so I guess they aren’t literally slaves. Or something.

Not exactly. Most states, 0.08 or above is presumed guilty of DUI without any other impairment detected. You can still get a DUI with a BAC below 0.08 but it becomes a bit harder to convict since it becomes a function of the officer’s testi
