Can someone explain to me (a non American) which niche or segment was Spirit in (and perhaps why they , and not any other airline, are shutting shop)?

Fun fact, geosmin (one of the main compounds in the smell) can be smelt by humans at staggeringly low concentrations (part per trillion!) For comparison, sharks detect blood in water in the parts per million range (which itself is already s

Slightly tangential, how good/bad is 4o compared to the modern (5.3 I think?) one? TBH I personally find non-thinking replies quite poor for the type of questions I ask so I haven't touched chatgpt for months (ever since Gemini 2.

Yeah thanks, I think that's the right quote. I think I found the original comment I had read (featuring a reply by saurik himself): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43853055

I think you're broadly correct and that's definitely a reason, and I have another example to support it. Mumbai too has a very similar structure (the core city is basically a peninsula that goes north-south). Our railway lines run
