I mean but this should save me some hassle from my current clock that I need to adjust every 10 billion years.

As it turns out, actually, WE are the ones who are stranded.

As I said, I’m not trying to compare or enter a discussion about what system is better, since I’ve never been to Switzerland. I like it when places have good trains, and it sounds like both places have that. So that’s good enough for me. I was just replying to give you a better idea of what it’s like in Japan.

It is true that in Japan there are many local stations that only arrive a few times a day, but I’ve found that this is generally for places that are very low traffic; ala middle of nowhere Fukushima countryside train. I’m usually more surpised the train system even goes there than I am surprised by the frequency. For pretty much anywhere you’d expect local trains to exist, they’re usually very good. Not trying to compare countries or anything (I’ve never been to Switzerland). Just describing my experience in Japan (not expert; only lived there ~6mo)

Does air-dropping trash count as an attack?

"Of course, fixing these kinds of issues won’t push your product deadlines back at all. But we’ll be thankful to you! "

I mean what they have to do is obvious, right? Only one of these two options can help increase ad revenue.

Okay I’ll come clean; I literally chose the range “120-140 years” by looking up the year that term was coined (1904) 😂

Damn that’s crazy. I’ve never heard of bananas being associated with violence… anytime in the last 120-140 years…

I mean it’s not a problem. I’m just letting you know that if you use a technical term instead of the colloquial one in a casual conversation on an unrelated topic, to me it reads less like “we can extrapolate” and more like “I’m using this word specifically because I want to extrapolate”. Not bad per se, cuz idk maybe someone will figure out they love in-ears from this thread. But def that’s my first interpretretation when i read something like iem in a post about airplanes.

Edit ps: I also love how everyone is responding to this with their distro 😂 optimal response

😂 🤷 Ya that didn’t occur to me; prolly cuz I think I think I’ve only ever typed IEM when doing a search, so didn’t think about typing-length. But I still stand that that’s the vibe it gives off in casual conversation.

I used to be a stage and studio musician, and I still use customs outside of that context. I’m just saying that if I’m talking to someone about casual listening, there’s no way I’m specifying “IEMs” over “earbuds”. IMO same kind of energy as saying “I used my Arch desktop” when you could say “I used my computer”

Basically earbuds, but if someone uses the acronym outside the context of stage or studio work, they are trying to tell everyone that they only use earbuds that are qUaLitY

The thing I hate is that all these airline screens usually default to “on”, and people tend to leave defaults. I’m a tall person, and can usually see a large number of the screens in front of me. So if I’m on a night flight, even if I don’t intend to sleep, the only way to not be blinded by dozens of ads for a few hours is to bring a sleep mask.

my wasps do that

Not the part you’re inside, hopefully 🤞

tfw your space shuttle is designed to burn up in the atmosphere

The fact that if you hadn’t specified Tuesday, I would have assumed I already heard about it… oof…

Yeah, but is their compute called a Gigafactory? I didn’t think so.
