Being jump scared by head-crabs scary on 27" monitor, and entire another thing in VR glued to your face.


That's how it would work - they airlines would have to cut service. By filling up seats with lower fares, it allows the whole route to be profitable. This helps more flights to occur serving more places.


> By filling up seats with lower fares, it allows the whole route to be profitable.

Is this assuming that there would be empty seats if the hidden city nonsense wasn't allowed?


Sometimes. In some cases.

An airline incurs a giant cost at the moment it decides to fly a route, everything after that is almost pure income, with little or no associated cost. Consider Cuba Airlines, which I invented right now because Cuba is between Belgium and Belize. The routes Belgium-Cuba, Belgium-Belize and Cuba-Belize have three different sets of competing airlines, so Cuba Airlines can sell those three tickets, but faces different competition doing so. Maybe it can charge more for Belgium-Cuba than for Belgium-Belize, maybe less.

If the route Cuba-Belize isn't generally full enough for the kinds of planes Cuba Airlines has on hand and the competitive situation allows charging more for Belgium-Cuba than Belgium-Belize, what can Cuba Airlines do to fill the planes up?

If you say that the prices for Belgium-Cuba has to be lower than Belgium-Belize, maybe that's okay, and maybe it means that Cuba Airlines can't charge enough to pay for the two flights. It depends on how the competitive situations are for the three routes.


Emotional reason: better to be a poor master than a rich slave.

Pragmatic reason: I'd like to see American workers get American wages.

Long Term reason: We need the ability to manufacture critical things at all times.


I've done this for vacations: Put in 50K into a mutual fund, and every year we use 5% of it for a guilt-free vacation.


OS-9 was a gateway for a lot of good developers. Constrained (8/16-Bit) enough to make you think but having a lot of the tools and ideas from mainframe/Unix world.


It was part of the strange CoCo experience. The CoCo had a superior CPU in that the 6809 was a great target for conventional compilers (as opposed to the 6502 which would drive you to virtual machine techniques like UCSD or Wozniak’s SWEET16)

Yet the 32 column text size was worse than the already bad 40 cols common on micros. It did not have the great audio of the C64 but the shack sold numerous upgrades like the Orchestra 90, you could even pack in four upgrade cards with the multi-pack. It was insane how many upgrade you could buy (like a digitized tablet, many kinds of dot matrix and letter quality printers, speech synthesis oak). Disc drives cost more than the Coco but they were way faster than the affordable 1541 that C64 users had)

I had a DEC printing terminal (with an acoustic coupler modem on the side!) and a TRA-80 Model 100 attached and could log in with three user sessions. I had a UART for one serial connection, the bit banger was fast enough for a printing terminal!

My Coco 1 starting burning up power supplies so I got a Coco3 which had 80 col text and a real windows + mouse experience for OS-9 but the third party software situation was terrible so I got a 286 machine in 1987, a time where I see Byte magazine is overrun with ads for PC clime builders. I got the money from a consulting project I did, I was told years later how much value my project made and should have asked for enough money to buy a 386.


Let the eggs develop a crust on the bottom before doing anything with them.


But I don't want a crust on my eggs. I want them pale and fluffy, especially my scrambled eggs. Any brown spots on my eggs and I consider them ruined. If you tell me I won't be able to make eggs the way I prefer them in a cast iron pan, then cast iron is not for me.


Absolutely. Hot pan, hot fat, let the egg set enough not to tear before you try to turn it.


At that point I could just cook in stainless steel. The hope is to not have crusty eggs imo


I don't get why it seems like people are all of a sudden talking about "crusty" eggs. I've seen it so much online in videos in just the last year. It definitely feels like some kind of fad. Eggs that have browned to the degree to which I'm seeing on YouTube would have gotten me fired at Waffle House.

That said, at Waffle House, we used carbon steel pans for eggs. There was a point where every pan would start to stick, no matter how it was heated. Those pans, we would clean with oil and salt, which is very abrasive. I'm not sure exactly what the effect was: either cleaning off accumulated dirt or filing out scratches and dings that would develop. I'm not sure because the salt should have created more scratches, but there was definitely a "worst" pan that had a deep scratch in it that always had some sticking problems.

'Conbini' is a loan word from English meaning 'convenience store.' Please forgive the originators of the word for spelling it so they can understand as Convenience starts with the letter 'c.'


'Convenience' also has 've' instead of 'bi', but that's not relevant. The loanword is コンビニ. When romanizing Japanese (or any other language) the etymology of a loanword has no influence on the romanized form (konbini).
