YES

Rarely, because they tend to say that instead of what they mean.

They are bullshit machines, trained to output something that users think is the right output.

What is your favorite flavor of kool aid?

You guys are getting ads?

Any website or shop that sells more than one type of butt plug will have at least one that is designed for prostate massage. Just have to check the description.

Overt certaintly happens, but when talking about averages for the population a lot of people judge others differently based on who they are and not necessarily what they do.

Yeah, like the ones that are specifically designed to target the prostate.

Yeah, I clear coated some tabletop minis over the course of a week and one time didn’t check humidity and ended up with some looking frosted because it was apparently 70% humidity when I sprayed them that one day.

The only real threat is if your car breaks down… and no one is around somehow.

And if that happens, a spare blanket in the car is far superior to a jacket that only covers the upper body! Plus with a passenger you will most likely be able to find a spot to get under the same blanket and share warmth unless you are in a two seater sports car that shouldn’t out in those temps anyway.

A clearcoat spray paint could work.

Do check what the optimal humidity conditions are first, since it can turn cloudy if it is too humid and that is very noticible on small objects.

Wow, so much energy spent to get worse search results compared to 10 years ago.

It could be comparing travel times/routes although those kinds of comparisons get complicated pretty quickly and can potentially incentivize dangerous driving. Ratings have the same issue, just pointing out there are other factors that could be used.

One of the main reasons that ratings are one of the worst methods of evaluating employees that interact with the public is that they tend to be impacted by people’s unconscious racism and sexism.

People have a significant amount of adaptation to local temperatures just like most other animals.

If you live somewhere where the temps change significantly throughout the year, have you ever noticed that 50F/10C feels chilly in in the autumn and warm in the spring? That is because the change from the norm is what we tend to notice, and if someone has been living where it has been freezing for months it can feel comfortable in the 30s and above.

That dog doesn’t appear to have a coat, and really should because it is not adapted to the cold enough to have its body directly in the snow.

Soithwest has open seating which is accessible through a ticket. It does not have seat reservations or assigned seating, or at least it hasn’t in the past but will apparently will start having seat reservations in the near future.

I know phrasing has stupid nuances in different contexts but there are differences between a reserved seat, reserved seating, reserving a table, etc. and while table reservations often mean first available seat reservations generally include assigned seats in my and the OPs experience.

The physical security is plenty at this point in time. Only another state actor could possibly have the resources to even handle the communication process in the first place, and it would be expensive with zero incentive to act.

Past that, the custom software would have to be both obtained from NASA via espionage and reverse engineered.

If those to impossible hurdles were somehow overcome, the international blowback would be enormous.

They are, and the TSA failure rate is astronomical.

Failing 95% of tests in 2015

Failing more than half the time back in 2017

I’m having trouble finding anything more recent, which doesn’t seem to suggest that they have i proved significantly or they would be bragging about it. But even a 90% success rate would be preatty terrible due to the volume of travelers they screen. They should be failing either one or zero out of dozens of tests at the most to be considered reliable.

I don’t remember which country, but there was one that had an attack on long security lines. Just one that I remember though, which makes sense as those kinds of terrorism were already becoming rarer before 9/11.

In a nutshell, it makes passengers feel safer.

That is a shit fucking reason for the level of annoyance that they cause now.

The pre 9/11 security accomplished the same feeling of security with a couple of guards and a metal detector.
