   Thanks. I have been using Firefox + uBlock on Android, but Brave seems to run much better on my non-flagship smartphone.

   Haven't prices in Seattle been going up at a faster rate then SF during the past 5 years?

   This argument never really made sense to me. Sure Europe/USA did tremendous environmental damage to get where we are, but better alternatives were invented in the process. That knowledge is available to developing nations. They don&#x2

   Yeah, I usually pay $0.88 each. Sometimes they are even cheaper.

    Overbooking is rarely the result of intentionally selling 105 seats when 100 exist. It is far more often caused by flight delays (missed connections) and cancellations. Let's say United has 8 flight a day from SEA to DEN. Each are full

    Exactly. They already sell tickets online, but they are not for a specific day.

    These planes were tested/certified for a certain temperature range. If higher temps become more common, they could potentially be re-certified with more stringent weight restrictions.

    I have only heard of this on business accounts. Not sure they will do it for consumers.

    Unfortunately numbers can usually be ported out with just name, account number and zip code. There is a lot of port fraud happening.

    Housing is still ridiculously cheap in much of the US. Should everybody have the right to live in the trendiest city?

    'Sea ice' generally refers to ocean water that freezes during the winter though, not iceburgs that come from ice sheets and glaciers.

    Sea ice melting doesn't cause sea level increases.

    I would gladly pay $500-$1,000/year for a dedicated parking area and access to a no-wait checkout lane at Costco. Could be part of a 'Signature' membership or something.

    What is the endgame for Signal? Now that its protocol has been implemented by several popular apps, will Signal continue to be developed?
