Congrats on not having your flight canceled.

Reading stuff like this is so crazy. They just go “hey 150k is a nice big number and should be plenty of heads, let’s just just take way the livelihoods of tens of thousands of actual people to make a number look nicer”

Even with the recent 737 max issues, it still remains safer to fly a Boeing than to drive wherever it is you’re going. Unless you live in Japan, China, or certain parts of Europe and Asia with safe high speed rail, you’re better off going with Boeing than almost anything else.

It reads like it’s from 98. The references to Blockbuster, Daimler-Chrysler, McDonnell Douglas, and Bill Clinton tipped me off this was an old one.

A couple were surprising but others seemed obvious in hindsight. Some of these AI models have a really specific vibe that is easy to spot. It can be removed sometimes but if the prompts don’t prevent it, the images tend to have this glow and pop that many real images don’t have. They’re perfectly detailed if that makes sense.

Got 14/20, which I feel pretty good about, but you do this survey every year and it’s gonna keep going lower. I bet even a year ago, most people would be above 75% accuracy.

They wouldn’t do it if they didn’t think it was effective.

It’s redundant because there’s basically a circular argument that G and C are using to not respond to the workers. Workers want to C negotiate with G on the terms of their work with G but C says they can’t because they’re just contracting with G. Then G says the workers can’t negotiate with G because they work for C. Both companies point the finger at the other as to why they can’t help and just give nothing back to the workers.

Maybe it could, but it won’t.

The neighbors will be sure to tell their cat to stop shitting in the lawn. The cat will listen, and stop, surely.

In beer form, it’s a bout a pint per day. Not too bad actually. I probably average close to that, since I’ll have a can of beer most nights, and a few pints and/or cocktails on weekends.

750ml is the typical size of a bottle, so it would be more like 32 bottles per year, or 2.67 bottles per month.

For what it’s worth, Brightline Florida isn’t quite considered high speed by most metrics. It will have a short 125 mph section, which is kinda the minimum design speed to be considered high speed. The state of rail in the US is so bad though that Brightline Florida might actually have a higher average speed than the Acela…

Brightline West between southern CA and Las Vegas will be designed as a deticated high speed line though.
