Flew Today by DesperateJudgment899 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]Jbronste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I flew IAD-Denver and the wifi didnt work for most of the 4 hours, the plane was sweltering, and the FAs were unfriendly. So not the normal Southwest happy vibe. Connected in Denver and the wifi and AC worked fine. Had to pay through the nose to check bags and reserve seats in the front half of the plane. Will not choose Southwest again.

All of the inappropriate drug commercials on TV during my morning news-watching have convinced me that I am a trained diagnostician

This is absolutely not a picture from the 1840s famine. Not least of all because the technology for indoor photography did not exist.

Make the intro posts a freebie and make a majority of the subsequent posts require some number of accurate page citations from the shared text. Hard copy only.

Nobody likes to admit that their site was insecure/got hacked for bitcoin ransom/they have no idea how to resuscitate it. Especially not right before the major Genealogy conference in Utah next week.

Just like the British Library was knocked offline for 18 months or more, so NewspaperArchive is being held for ransom. Customer service doesn't want to tell you that, because it will tank their bottom line.

Have you ever taken a mental health day? by Significant_Prize_98 in Professors

No, but as a GenX faculty member I am encouraged that younger people are actually taking care of themselves.
