The assumption here is that Boeing is responsible for these. What exactly does Boeing gain from murdering whistleblowers after the fact? At this point Boeing's reputation is already tarnished and they're already going to be under

I don't know which sites you use, but Kayak and Google Flights both let you input the number of checked and carry-on bags you're traveling with and include those fees in the comparison.

I'm okay with bag fees. There is a real cost to carrying extra bags. I pack light and don't see why I need to subsidize other people if it's bundled. On the other hand, fees for things like seat assignment (regular seats, n

There are reasons to want your own modem, to avoid overpaying via rental fees, for example, but what security or privacy do you imagine you're getting by buying your own modem? You're literally plugging it into their network and t

In my experience, Jira isn't great out of the box but it's pretty good if you take a few hours to understand how to configure workflows, field configurations, forms, and boards. For example, at my last company I had the developmen

Children are capable of understanding the difference between pretense and reality. My 4 year old loves playacting scenes and games from Bluey but he also understands that I'm not an anthropomorphic dog. Or, for that matter that our do

This is why "save the earth" is a silly slogan. The Earth doesn't need saving. An environment suitable for humans on the other hand...

Glad to hear the copyright troll got his comeuppance. I just wouldn't have expected a large estate to be in the receiving end of the trolling.

I'm saying don't use Facebook. Nobody is forcing you to use Facebook.

Selection bias at work here. Most sites that have been around along time have redesigned at some point, and you always get some vocal users complaining about it.

You don't actually move in fixed increments with the arrow keys. You start moving, initially at a slow speed then faster as you keep it pressed up to a certain maximum speed. You'll only get the same results if you have exactly th

It's very much intentional. Beginners often try to adjust their aim while down, usually with poor results. Instructors will universally teach you to aim while standing, and get up and reset if things don't feel right when you get
