You have the agency to let the person in front of you have a more enjoyable flight without judging them for it. That is also a decent and unselfish thing to do. I don't lean back on flights, but I don't consider the person in fron

Math checks out. I'm someone whose weight easily oscillates by 2kg (1kg up/down from my average trend line), and it took a while to accept only the trend line over several weeks matters.

Recipe calls for skirt steak or chuck. I used chuck. Skirt steak would probably taste nicer, though, but might also be harder to chop. I ended up chopping it down to 2-3mm (~1/8in?) bits, and it helps to have the meat really cold (eg h

FWIW, and tangential, the biggest (and time consuming) difference I ever found in making bolognese was hand cutting the meat instead of getting it ground. The texture was way better. It's a pain to do (obviously) but worth trying at le

Balzac is quite fantastic. And also not great for you if you have too much empathy for the characters but decide to read 10 of his books/stories in a row.

Either that or Cersei being queen would've been the correct ending. The Lannisters would've had the only real army left without that WWE-style defeat of the Night King. Cersei's consistently outwitted everyone (except Tommen,

If that were really the case, then nobody would be employed to try and understand SEO, ranking algorithms, virality, etc. Edit: what I mean by that is: I think your comment implies there's some sort of meritocracy to content people see

I don't entirely agree. Yes, there's subjectivity, but there's more to it, IMO. There are sites (eg along the lines of legacy print or established in the "early" internet days) that still try to generate news conten

That's what I figured yeah, though that's GA, not cargo planes, and emergency rather than normal operations. Lots of differences.

Agreed that there are many sites that seem to have no other purpose than to get ads displayed. Unfortunately, it's also getting harder and harder to tell them apart from the sites that have legitimate content supported by ads because t

The energy cost during operations is very relevant, too, which is why you see things like tilt rotor designs with wings/bodies to generate lift. When Airbus was doing the math on these a few years ago, the pilot cost was also one of th

I agree about incentive (with a small asterisk that if you do decide to take off when you shouldn't, now you have two problems), but taking off isn't particularly easier. Eg you have to stay on the runway, you have decisions to ma
