How is no one in here talking about the International Fixed Calendar? It was exactly this, and Kodak used it for 60 years. It does work. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Fixed_Calendar

I mean, this is showing the school bus fatalities are insanely low (just 5 total in 37 years in AL) and we should instead use funding to make the more dangerous parts of student transportation safer. This seems like using data to make sure we are making informed choices that will actually increase safety for a larger number of kids instead of wasting resources.

It seems like the will respect TLS, so in theory even if it failed and someone was able to intercept the request at the relay, they wouldn't have access to the data. That being said"Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" is becoming more popular as people anticipate quantum computing may be able to crack these encryptions in bulk.

I don't know about a full workout, since my athletic clothes aren't available to me, but lugging my shit on laps is a good call just to burn energy. I did a lap of the airport and it was about 45 min, so another mimosa or two at the next lounge then I'll do another lap or two.

It depends on how you define "the USA". If you mean the people of this country, then absolutely they are working against us. If you mean the people with loads and loads of money, then no, they are working as hard as they fucking can for them.

Just for clarity, they already switched protocols (Manifest v3), they just have continued to support the old format (v2) that allows unlock origin to work. They are discontinuing support for v2 next year.

The only thing missing from hotels is a private common area for groups. If they had more hotels with 2/3 bedrooms around a living space I would never airbnb again.

I mean responsible card owners pay their statement in full every month. It's a great way to get purchase protection and cash back or reward miles. This is more like splitting payments over multiple months, and if you do that with a credit card APR you're getting a terrible bargain.

If those had to all survive independently and couldn't leech off profits of the parent organization we could have true competition. Instead you just need one super-profitable arm of a company than loss-lead your way into other verticals and out-compete everyone else because you don't have to turn a profit, at least while the competition is still clinging on.

Depends on the humidity level really. 33C with low humidity is nice, especially in the shade or with a breeze, and without that you can just mist yourself and be comfy. Of you're at 70%+ humidity, you're approaching dangerous wet-bulb temperature and your body can't regulate heat. It's very uncomfortable.
