It took how many years just to add one new line?

I'm on an ANA flight where they do this. At boarding time they let people go with their parties. Still felt more efficient than usual.

ANA does this (source: on an ANA flight right now). Thought that was a very smart idea. And then I realized I no longer being on the window for long haul flights.

As mentioned elsewhere in the thread, if mlb tv could release a subscription without blackouts I would no longer need YouTube tv. Same kind of problem.

As soon as they do I'm dropping YTTV. Fortunately I pay 1/3 the YTTV cost by sharing with a friend so the cost isn't too bad. But it's too much content for my needs, and I don't prefer sharing access.

I have the same issue. But another somewhat related issue: apps that are allowed to ignore your audio settings. I have my sound muted pretty much all the time and inevitably apps I use that have ads auto play them usually with sound on at a

I'll probably show my age, but around 15 years ago I was in high school and they blocked most websites as well. This "hack" using Google Translate was how some of us got around the blocklist for many things. It was nice becau

I've been really surprised lately how often I go to a product page, see "Prime 2-day shipping, fulfilled by Amazon" and when I order it often takes ~5 days to get my order. Definitely picking the shipped/sold by Amazon l

It's weirder because the Apple Watch has been able to do it for a while now. I use it all the time.

Heh there's also a crepe stand in Harajuku called Santa Monica Crepes, if I'm remembering correctly. I think I've had that Emerald Mountain one too.

Boss Coffee, Rainbow Mountain blend is my favorite. Really hits the spot. I live in the Bay Area as well and I've found that both Mitsuwa and Nijiya markets haven't had them in stock nearly as much as pre-COVID; guessing some logi

Went to Mt. Moiwa in Sapporo back in Feb 2019, at night. It was super cold (to me as a Californian). Maybe 20's or 30-ish F. Nothing like going inside the observatory at the top and grabbing a piping hot bottle of Royal Milk Tea from a

Most of the current lids on fast food togo cups these days don't work with my lip shape. It sounds funny but drinking from them especially while driving does not work, the drink just leaks out the corners of my mouth.

I've used it while working at two major companies everyone's heard of and used. Definitely seems to be popular.

I have friends who live in Cupertino, and when an ISP like Comcast goes down in one or two neighborhoods for maintenance, the cell network (not even Comcast but like AT&T and such) also effectively goes down because everybody and their

There's a small coastal town near San Francisco where a bunch of the farmers/ranchers/other locals imported a fleet of Suzuki Carry's, IIRC. I was chatting with one owner and they told me most haven't bothered regis

I'd imagine it depends on street rules. Here in California I used to work for San Jose State University when I was attending. I worked an oncampus job where I was expected to drive a golf cart to and from campus (the job office itself

I'm not sure if this is Musk-related, but Twitter has definitely changed. * More ads, not as easy to hide them with traditional blocker * More bots - I'm a baseball fan and follow a lot of baseball people, and players in particula

Sounds unnecessarily rude. Plenty of people use social media to keep in touch with non-local friends, among many other useful things.

Could be! But I see plenty of reels being posted and arguably those are worse (to me at least).

Looks like gifs are the problem (for me). They render fine but on submitting, they repeatedly fail to post. Oh well.

I haven't been able to post yet, it keeps failing. To be expected. Not _super_ happy that the front page is pulling from people I don't care about but kind of expected. Curious how it'll adapt once people I want to follow sta

For baseball generally photos of themselves from their seats and then photos of the ballpark/field, so not all that different from American friends on IG. Also sometimes just photos or videos from batting cages or pitching cages. For c

For what it's worth, the same friends I refer to on Twitter (Japanese baseball fans and those into cars) are also even more active on Instagram. That's how I found many of them to begin with. I'd say 70/30 split of male&

I'm really interested in seeing what my Japanese friends do. I don't live in Japan but have made a bunch of friends there in my travels. They're super active on Twitter for baseball and car discussion. Hoping they make the ju

Other than the rate limit issue this past Saturday I haven't really had any problems with it. I still self-curate who I follow with follow lists. I still get to be involved in baseball discussions with friends who have stuck it out the
