So, what’s the business model? Lose money on the hotel, and recoup from the YouTube ad revenue? Is there sufficient demand for boring voyeurism videos to make it viable?

What’s the big deal with sticking Q-Tips in the ear? I use something like this to clean my ear. Very common in Eastern Asia.

Someone should make an app to inject those noise into the phone conversation.

So, my understanding is...

You must be an engineer. I bet you did a quick FMEA in your head and realized that there are too many high RPN risks.

Not carrying a physical credit card is a thing? When I leave home, I have at least... my ID (real ID driver’s license), backup ID (passport card), credit card, backup credit card, ATM card (debit card), few hundred bucks in cash, insurance card... and I add things as the situation dictates...

Whatever happened to being responsible when you borrow something? When someone doesn’t return the book as promised, he’s squandering the knowledge from other patrons. There has to be consequences for not following the rules.

DOT says “as reported by or on behalf of the passenger”. So, sounds like if the damage or delay is sufficient enough for someone to raise a stink, it counts. 

Add to this the fact that the airlines have a shitty track record with checked luggage.

Instead of punishing those of us who can actually drive at an efficient velocity, why not go after those slow drivers who clog up the roads, impeding the free flow of traffic, and create dangerous situation for miles at a time?

If we’re debating airline “rights”, who has the rights to the overhead storage? As a rule of thumb, if a bag has wheels or extendable handle, I check that bag. I board with just my saddlebag type briefcase. When I put my briefcase in the overhead, I usually get chewed out by the flight staff that there’s limited space…

Why can’t we have an useful international day, like International Gasoline Day and get free gas?

it’s “highly unusual” for cars with 720 horsepower to be outfitted without a five-point harness and a roll cage

Instead of these incremental cleanings, just nuke the phone and reinstall what you need. In case of Android, boot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset.

I keep a small stack of cash at home, something like $500, and top off my wallet from there. Before the stack dries up, I top off the stack from my in network ATM down the street.

Unless money’s really tight, expedited service is the only way to go. Not dealing with the morons at the post office is well worth the price difference. As an added bonus, the expedited service is delivered by a courier service (FedEx, DHL, etc), so no chance of the post office losing or misdelivering your passport.

Why isn't putting the remote up away from the brat... I mean baby, not the solution? I keep it on my fireplace mantle. Older kid can reach out, but the baby can't.

More axles also make a vehicle less efficient by adding rolling resistance

Having the extra axle sounds like a legal loophole around the per axle limit. What’s stopping the driver from dropping the axle right before the chicken coop, and picking it right up afterwards?

You can just tie the ANT+B to ACC.
