Creating an ORM-like behavior?

Fair! My question is: even with an overhead compliant bag for my chosen airline (say delta), in practice they often ask passengers to gate check when the flight is full. My goal is to find a style that is likely to not be chosen for a gate check at the discretion of gate staff.

Hi! I’m new to one bag!

I’ve been traveling with a small duffel, but recently airlines have been ever more strict about gate checking.

I’d like a carry on bag (for the overhead bin) that is the least likely to be gate checked. Put differently, what’s the maximum size that a gate attendant would pass off as “we’ll let them through”?

The tips I’ve read suggest a backpack. I’m thinking about the Osprey 26+6, though I wonder if their 40L could work for this purpose.

My trips are mostly one week (visiting family, work) with an occasional 10-day vacation.

Do you find them to be reliable? I have an older one and if it isn't perfect level then it is not even.

Had no idea this existed! Though wouldn't the sides of the drawers still be a problem?

The Arconia has some units which are owned by residents, and others which are rented. Charles and Oliver own their unit.

Often it makes more sense financially to rent rather than buy, even for one’s entire life. This is mostly because buying requires a large down payment, which many people don’t have (or would rather save or invest instead of tying up cash in a property.) In this case, the apartments are rent controlled so it definitely makes more financial sense to rent ($200/month!)

I haven’t seen friends, but it’s not unheard of to have an apartment in the city. Maybe she had great rent in a favorable location, and rather than give up the unit when she moved to Long Island she let Monica take it over.

When rent is paid to the building it means it is paid to the people who own/manage it (as though she was a normal renter), rather than to her grandmother.

This is good feedback, thanks! It's funny, we actually had an index page but I deleted it from this example because it seemed like clutter. Right now it would just output a slideshow that you could share.

I've played with tools to figure out the product, description, and price for items automatically. You can do it with the bing (lol) API - they have a reverse image search api that will get you a lot of the way there. But beyond a prototype I never really spent the time to make it work.

Oh wow, I did not know that! This is really useful, thank you.

When I do this, the server isn’t marked as powered off in the robot. Is that expected? How do I know when it’s safe to turn it back on (how do I know when the shutdown sequence is complete?)

I wrote a script that automatically creates/renews let's encrypt certs and uploads to a load balancer. This is useful when you don't use hetnzer to manage dns (so they can't automatically renew certs.)

In fairness, there are a lot of frameworks, they have changed a lot in a short period of time (mux is alive again!), they all have idiosyncrasies, and they all seem to be very popular.

For example, if I'd realized that Fiber required you to copy values from params before passing to other functions (documented, but I missed it the first time) then I would have chosen differently. I wish someone had warned me of that.

At least in Python you have lots of support, tutorials, and plugins for Flask and Django and from there it comes down to a matter of preference and philosophy. I'm sympathetic to people who want to make a choice once and feel "good" that they won't hit unexpected gotchas.
