- Comment on YSK that United has significantly escalated their war against basic economy passengers 3 weeks ago:
It’s partially the fault of everyone who just goes on Kayak and hits whatever is the cheapest option. That’s what I do, anyway. Or did, until this week, when I learned my lesson about it.
I guess that’s true. When you go through the website they have many warnings when you select basic economy about the carry on not being included, I have to basically budget +$60 each time I’m looking for flights because they always show the basic economy first

paying for music subscriptions doesn’t help artist to much. Buying their merch or going to concerts is how they get most of their money
- Comment on All Of Apple’s Foldable iPhone Prototypes Have Visible Creases, Which May Explain The Company’s Apprehension Towards A Launch 1 month ago:
My wife loves her flip. She just upgraded from the 4 to the 6 and the creaae is barely visible when in use
She uses it a lot for videocalls and she folds it to use it as a tripod, and also being able to use the good camera to take selfies is a great use case
She also loves that it fits on most of her pants when folded, usually women’s pants have very small pockets.
That phone is not for me, but I can definitely attest to real use cases

It does if you rent

I rent games via gamefly, I’ll definitely keep using discs
- Comment on Burning Up 2 months ago:
0F is not ocean freezing, is the freezing temp of a brine mix that he chose arbitrarily (some think that he chose that temp because it was close to the coldest his town had ever been and he used it to calibrate the scales of his thermometers)
FYI, the ocean freezes at around 28F
- Comment on Burning Up 2 months ago:
The 0 in Fahrenheit was based on nothing and the 100F was supposed to be human temperature but it is off by some degrees
The water is not an arbitrary temperature, the weather is water dependant, at 0C the water will freeze and you get snow/ice instead of rain

The AI response reads like when you are looking for something in Reddit and you get 3 very different responses in 3 different threads about the same topic
- Comment on Kroger executive admits company gouged prices above inflation 2 months ago:
I stopped getting my groceries at Kroger unless I need just a few items quickly (I have 2 less than 2 miles from my house). Most stuff is more expensive at Kroger than Meijer or even Walmart and if doing the whole list it ads a lot to my expenses

- Comment on Why are weather apps so bad at telling you the current weather? 3 months ago:
No it doesn’t, it means that under those conditions, about 50% of the times it has rained in that area
- Comment on Why are weather apps so bad at telling you the current weather? 3 months ago:
Weather.com also has real-time alert . You get notifications for rain about 30-40 minutes in advance based on specific location

This is weird. They probably only have 1 cc with a very low credit limit that doesn’t let create a good picture of how they are managing debt
I’ve never paid interest but I have 7 credit cards and about $50k in credit. I was able to get 2 loans for cars and I’ve been offered good mortgage rates

Wanting to replay this game is how I learned that it’s super easy to crack the vita nowadays. I had mine collecting dust in a drawer for several years
- Comment on Netflix mulls introducing free ad-supported tier. The circle is complete 4 months ago:
I hate ads, but sometimes prime puts 2 minutes of ads at the beginning of a show or a movie and then no ads, I’m ok-ish with this, much better than imdb or tubi that play the same commercial every 15 minutes
If I start a stream and it shows that it will have several breaks I stop it and get it from the high seas

Was torrent available (or common) during those speeds? I remember napster/kazaa/limeware and downloading stuff like green day.exe
I started using torrents when I already had broadband, although very asymmetrical
- Comment on After watching batman throw around explosives left and right I no longer believe batman doesn't use guns because of some sort of moral quandary but rather he just prefers the challenge. 8 months ago:
He also probably holds a large stake in Arkham. Every criminal he sends is money the city puts into his deep pockets
