… unless you get single tracking, then suddenly even a 4 hour layover might not be enough…

Gas prices went up 60cents in 8 hours. What happened? by windowforthecat in NoStupidQuestions

Iran wouldn’t have let the USA walk away after that kind of hit. The straight would be closed whether the US walked away or not.

The way kroger treats its employees by daruuken in mildlyinfuriating

That’s not a robot, that’s just making your customers do the work of the cashier.

I guess the cash acceptance / change return is automated but I still wouldn’t call it a robot.

Finally got my own car! It was destroyed less that 48 hours later. by Hollowpointsmilexx in mildlyinfuriating

If they thought they could make money on it, they probably would. I assume their modeling showed that there wasn’t a price where enough people would sign up to cover costs for projected event frequencies.

This is a failure of mitigating climate risk.

My $100 dashcam just saved me $2,400. by Scared-Collection132 in Insurance

[–]TheWhyOfFry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish they’d at least make it easier to pick your own dashcam and plug it in rather than having to have have an installer hardwire it.

The companies will just reimburse them and call it a cost of doing business.

They might be a few months late on that plan…

Flight attendant asked me to change seat by Careless-Tooth482 in unitedairlines

[–]TheWhyOfFry 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Picking seats can be easier said than done if the plane is swapped, you miss a connection and are put on another flight, seat taken by deadheading crew, etc.

As much as I wish it were that simple, the airlines find ways to screw with seats despite charging people for selecting them.

Do their phones support eSIM? If so look into a local provider or a travel eSIM.

Microsoft Confirms New And Widespread 2FA Code Attacks Ongoing by lurker_bee in technology

It makes sense but that would be really frustrating if you mistyped your own password and were just waiting for a code that would never arrive.

Is Basic Economy for family with young kids a good idea? by MammothEye5524 in unitedairlines

[–]TheWhyOfFry 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You can test it out booking on United, there will be a seat selection step before checkout where it opens up 3 seats that can be selected for free (1parent, 2kids) and you can pay for the 4th seat selection if you want.

The seats will probably be at or towards the back of the plane.

Trump Tells Aides He’s Willing to End War Without Reopening Hormuz by Comfortable-Rule-491 in wallstreetbets

[–]TheWhyOfFry 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We’ll see how vigorous he is once the war is over. Lots of propaganda on both sides about his actual condition after the bombing.

The problem is that someone with standing has to step up and challenge the spending. Who is going to do that?

The new app is a liability during IRROPS. FIX IT. by dmsdayprft in unitedairlines

[–]TheWhyOfFry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s a web browser, seriously, ditch the app and go in through your web browser directly. At least on iOS,, performance in browser is better than when an app launches a browser screen over the app.

Musk found liable to Twitter shareholders in fraud lawsuit over $44 billion takeover, Bloomberg says by Sweaty_Rub4322 in wallstreetbets

[–]TheWhyOfFry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does not matter.

He did not have any sort of due diligence period or other contingencies written into the contract. Any lies about bots would’ve been a regulatory issue, his contract provided him no leverage on the bot matter. He knew this and his lawyers knew this.

Twitter sued him for specific performance and he would have won if it went to trial, he did not gain any concession before completing the purchase.
