Weight Loss drugs could save airlines $580 million a year in fuel costs - Dexerto
Reply in thread
True, fuel cost would be the same per flight, but maybe Corkyskog is getting at the airline still coming out ahead with more seats since they would sell more tickets.
Overall that would mean less flights needed to move the same number of people so it arguably does reduce fuel cost in a sense.
(This assumes that people physically take up less space as they lose weight, which, I guess for dimensions like legroom, maybe isn’t the case)

World Cup tourists aren’t leaving tips — and restaurants are fighting back
Reply in thread
In the US we sign for most transactions that can have a tip.
Typical restaurant flow would be:
Our credit card companies don’t require signatures anymore so we don’t have to do this nonsense when we buy anywhere that doesn’t take tips (grocery store, department store, etc.); I assume restaurants just want some sort of “proof” in case you try and dispute the charge later.

Yep, that’s the 7 pro - I had one, too. It was perfect for me because I never took selfies.

The bottom left is called a Jibarito, they are really popular on the NW side. Basically a sandwich with fried plantains (think tostones) instead of bread. Definitely my favorite of the 4 options here.
Bottom right is an Italian Beef; I think it’s usually just bread, roast beef, and giardiniera.

I like C# too. I feel like I shouldn’t because of how Microsoft it is, but I can’t help but see it as a better put together/structured Java when I use it.
