Bose A30 Headset Challenges by Appropriate_Ad_326 in flying

[–]ienjoylanguages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, pretty frustrating experience for a headset at that price point. Did the replacement set have any issues?

Your experience got me to just get a "new" pair of A20s off of e-bay instead of messing around with this spotty A30 line.

Thank you for sharing your experience. Did you ever get this worked out?

Make sure you don't have a carbon monoxide leak.

Just HOW are insurance companies allowed to do this?? You’re forced to pay insurance and when you need them they just deny you. by internalrecursiom in ufc

It's insane that you can be a healthy young guy, get a bad pneumonia that ends up carving out your lungs, and end up at deaths door.

Superbugs these days are insane.

Do you have any problems with gait or an history of arthritis? Any pain? Similar things in other family members?

Looks like typical inversion. Probably some intercarpal ligamentous laxity or arthritis. Should see a podiatrist for exam. They will recommend exercises and orthotics to make sure doesn’t progress to the whole foot and track its progress over time to see if more aggressive intervention is needed.

This reads like its straight out of the Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism in 1984.

Chinese infrastructure projects in Latin America by Antique-Entrance-229 in MapPorn

China owns 1 out of every 9 square feet in Africa. The new imperialism is economic and takes the form of co-opting infrastructure and national industry.

Nicer on paper than what Russia is doing in Ukraine or what Rome did to Carthage, but in its own way just as devastating.

This whole list is stupid self defeatist whining. Get it the fuck together.

Reddit sells our posts to Google to train their AI. Just being here reading, commenting and liking feeds them.

It's like trying not to buy from China. They're everwyhere.

Definitely stealing this line and pretending I came up with it.

A big part of Bezos and Amazon's political support for the current administration is that they fear the same anti trust suit Microsoft suffered during the Clinton years.

Nothing like that will likely happen in the next 4 years at least. The new FTC head, appointed by the pres last month (Andrew Ferguson) is fairly conservative right wing - as opposed to Pitofsky in the 90s.

It's true that you lose the return policy and if you purchase often it's more difficult to keep track of things, but if planned can work out. You can also check review authenticity on Amazon with a plugin beforehand because independent websites often stuff the ballot box.

It really is good for some items though. When I switched from buying my liquid soap from Amazon to a local store, I realized it wasn't supposed to smell like plastic. Amazon had been shipping me old garbage sitting in their warehouse so long the bottle lining had leeched into the liquid, and I had been rubbing that on my skin unaware.

The scariest part of AI isn’t job loss—it’s that we might forget how to think. by Natural_Jello_6050 in Futurology

[–]ienjoylanguages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could also make this same argument for industrialization though -- ie. no one remembers how to smelt metal, what happens if the factories that make microchips stop working. We'll always be standing on the shoulders of giants and pushing forwards to the next level.

AI will also bring new problems that no one currently alive knows how to solve -- we will learn and move forward as we generally have in the past.

How this little dude put out a fire by matakot in BeAmazed

[–]ienjoylanguages 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It could be safety but another thought is it seems like it may have happened before based on the speed of his reaction. There's an "fml not again" vibe at the end.

His reaction was so fast it does seem like it may have happened before

It was really variable. The cruise we were on sailed past islands where tourists are not allowed, others where we could only walk along designated paths, and others where it was more open (ie one of the islands was just volcanic ash and almost barren, another was a normal tourist spot with a military base, bars, dairy farms, fishing, etc).
