The staff have to be paid significantly longer on the train to transport far fewer people simply because of more elapsed time.

I haven't run the numbers, but I feel like that discrepancy is made up for by the number of passengers trains can carry, considering trains can carry way more people than a plane.

Human-dog interactions happen billions of times a day, this isn't the gotcha you think it is

The "it's like email" analogy was always doomed, because the people saying it know how email works at a technical and architectural level, while the people hearing it know email as "that thing that Just Works ™️ to send messages to anyone else with an email address".

At that level, the Fediverse and Email are nothing alike.

In bobsled, the other people at the back are important for the initial pushoff, since you're allowed a running start. And then I'm pretty sure everyone helps steer, based on what the guy in the front is doing/commands he gives.

Granted, all my knowledge of bobsled comes from Cool Runnings, so take all that with a grain of salt

The fact that it's a Dodge Charger alone makes it a 50/50 chance

Huh. Weird how you're allowed to take a stand and point things out and correct people, but others aren't

Just get a string quartet to follow you around on the ice and play live. I'd pay to see that

I really like his cover of Ain't Too Proud To Beg

Creepy Nuts is awesome. Perfect music for driving around in the summer time with the windows down

I honestly think it's laziness. Europeans still appreciate just living life with their families.

Yeah, so, here's the thing. Wanting to live life with your family is not lazy. Not having a desire for world domination is not lazy. Those are just normal things that regular people do.

Yeah that dude was just a dick, but probably confidently, and in a field people don't know much about, so he was able to get away with it.

I work with UX people frequently, and while they do love a good style guide, they're usually more concerned with the overall usability, legibility, and accessibility of an application. They're the people who (should) ensure your application works as expected and follows design and accessibility standards.

By talking to your fucking kids lmao

Like, have a conversation with them. Treat them like a person, a real human being, with thoughts and feelings and basic decision making capabilities, instead of treating them like a wild animal that needs to be leashed.

Everyone immediately thinks "it's impossible for parents to be aware of and block everything they don't want their kids to look at on the Internet!". But maybe the first step should just be talking to your kids about what you do/do not want then looking at on the Internet, and trusting that they'll heed your warnings. Tight fisted control over what your kids can/can't see on the Internet should be the last resort.
