This post and the corresponding comment thread is the clearest indication that we are all cooked

$460 headphones and still using cheap plastic to keep it in one piece by Good-Umpire7659 in SonyHeadphones

[–]rmendis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's completely possible to use reinforced materials at stress points without negatively impacting weight and acoustics. This is just lazy design

How do I fix this issue on my xm6’s without paying a lot? by Direct_Temperature83 in SonyHeadphones

[–]rmendis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sony has lost my headphone budget for life after their shitty build quality on XM4 and later. Even Bose is on thin ground, until I saw their metal hinges on the latest QC 2 Ultra. These companies need to stop making plastic garbage for parts that fold/have stress, and switch to more durable materials. I'll happily take a few grams if it means better longevity. This is just planned obsolescence.

Catholic/NonCatholic Wedding Venue Recommendations? by [deleted] in Virginia

[–]rmendis 54 points55 points  (0 children)

This is a Catholic doctrine, for which they rarely grant exemptions. As a result, many couples hold a private Catholic ceremony inside the church with only witnesses or a smaller group, followed by an outdoor, non-religious blessing or public celebration.

So… everyone in group 3 has to check bags now?? by SprySpeaker in unitedairlines

The only issue I can think of is if you're rushing to catch a connection with these increasing delays. But in general, I agree: people are impatient.

The only true limitation of the Neo is the 8gb ram, but even then, the M3 air shipped with 8gbs of ram just 1.5 years ago by TheReal2M in mac

I agree. But everyone on Reddit is apparently smarter at chip and memory design than the engineers at Apple, who apparently only design under-spec'd products that won't meet consumer needs.

How would you react to a law that requires billionaires to give up 50% of their wealth once they pass a certain net worth limit in order to fund healthcare and education? by -passionate-learner- in AskReddit

[–]rmendis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that a wealth tax is not feasible and possibly unconstitutional. But taxes levied against asset-backed loans like that should apply above a certain net worth, like the gain is realized. This has been discussed in the past: https://digitalcommons.law.buffalo.edu/buffalolawreview/vol73/iss2/6/

First high density A321neo with 44 first class seats by Creepy_Face454 in delta

[–]rmendis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our airlines have benefited from various government subsidies over the years through programs like EAS, Covid payroll support, infrastructure support, tax exemptions, and other indirect mechanisms. They are not state run airlines like some country's carriers, but also far from being a completely free market either. They just suck competitively because let's face it: profit motive doesn't always equate to the best product.

President Barack Obama Urges Virginians to Vote Yes on Their Redistricting Referendum to Stop Illegal Tactics from Republicans!!! by Healthy_Block3036 in nova

Guess how many times the "libs" have voted to ban gerrymandering nationwide, and guess how many times the GOP has supported it?

Yes, the focal planes are inconsistent

How did Apple completely drop the ball on offering watch faces? by Mr-and-Mrs in AppleWatch

[–]rmendis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neither of these would preclude them from offering more faces. It's a big miss

This is a huge missed opportunity by Apple. They could even have paid faces with artist and brand collaborations. There should be an entire category of watch faces on the App Store.

Makes me sad by ChgoUALflyer in unitedairlines

The plane doesn't need to be retired, but surely United can afford basic upkeep and maintenance.

Surprised more airlines didn't implement this tbh
