Is there an ecologically less damaging alternate to plastic that would also work?

The user is always right about what they are willing to spend money on. That doesn’t mean they know what they want, although a lot of people don’t want to change.

That doesn’t mean all change is good, and it isn’t like any UI will ever meet everyone’s preferences. For example, I hate adaptive design interfaces that are significantly different in confusing ways on different resolutions. Like I understand switching a static menu to an expandable menu, but not moving the relative location of certain buttons from the bottom of the screen to the top or vise versa. But that might make sense for some use case that isn’t how I interact with it.

Effectively, it’s a small, single-seat helicopter with automatic quick-fold rotor blades,

The fear of the swinging blades of death on top are going to mean take off and landings will end up regulated to private land, airfields, or helicoptor pads. That isn’t saying they are a terrible idea, since they are little helicoptors you can drive on the road, but it isn’t going to be something that will be allowed to land in a parking lot around the general public for an easy transition from flying to driving.

That is correct.

I day before and have a list on my phone for the things that can’t be packed until the day of (cpap, meds, etc.). I mark them off as they get packed. Then I reset the list to use on the next trip.

My wife talks about packing early, but always ends up putting it off to the last night before the trip. Then she gets stressed out that she is missing something because she refuses to write down a list.

Outside of trips I can’t keep track of most things because of ADHD and she is the reverse, not needing lists for most things. Our travel habits are the opposite of the rest of iur lives!

One that uses government funds to feed and house the homeless instead of using the police to punish them for being homeless and anyone who tries to help.

I’ll be goooone…

Yet another reminder that people act like the civil rights movment is distant history, but a lot of the people who were involved in the protests are atill alive today.

Is it even veiled at all?

People are downvoting because the topic is survival rate and while rape by military stsff is a huge problem, it isn’t something that is clearly linked to these particular soldiers.

Because it makes them your daddy, like the other hundreds of xbox players that banged your mom.

It is an edgy ‘your mom’ joke that makes a lot of people angry. People get angry about a lot of stuff that is obviously untrue if it insults their in group like a family or social grouping. It was one of hundreds of illogical insults that took off because it gets a fairly reliable reaction.

The parenthesis should say ‘except A24’.

There sure are a lot of crashes!

So for example, if I want to talk about a movie I watched recently, I might say “did you see any good movies lately?”

This is great advice! It sets the context so they know you want to talk about movies you enjoyed which helps to know if you saying something about the movie is a good or bad thing in your opinion.

Going directly to talking about the details of the movie or something it does means they are going to be either assuming context or even excessive staring while they actively think about what you are saying.

The list would be pretty good if the games were recommended with the exact same text!

Curators are just the steam equivalent of movie reviewers.

If you get familiar with a reviewer’s take on things it can help to know if something will be enjoyable based on their preferences to yours. For me, I loved Ebert’s reviews because it wasn’t the score he gave, but how he worded the review. Some reviews were listing the things he disliked, but since I knew he disliked certain things I loved, it let me know that kind of movie getting a low review from him meant it would be dumb fun and not pretentious. Butbif he mentioned something that we both disliked, I knew to skip that movie.

You treat people existing as political.

Is a gay couple in a movie political?

Why isn’t a straight couple political?

Gay people exist.

BippinThatBop took that personally.

Yup, and was twisted to mean the opposite just like rotten apples.

Compressors fail way too often nowadays. The higher priced old ones were built sturdier and if they didn’t fail in a year because of a defect they run almost indefinitely.

The idea that they never fail comes from survivorship bias.
