He has his name, that is his brand and he will probably use it to make bank as a public speaker

The last plane crash into a building in NY before 2001 was back in 1946, when a transport aircraft from the US Army Air Forces flew into 40 Wall Street.

That was 55 years before 9/11, and 20 years before construction of the twin towers was started, it was believed to be a solved problem, which in context wasn’t that unreasonable.

Printing physical media and distributing it is a huge cost, since physical media use has declined in recet times the supplychains they used to rely has gone.

This has increased the cost.

Compare that to digital infrastructure and you have a cheaper alternative that has scalable solutions.

There is no need to print or really distribute physical media any more, you get the finnished movie/episode as a digital file, you upload it to the cloud shortly before release, wait for it to automagically get cached in the regions, and set the timer for release. The streaming service will automatically change the $video.enabled variable from $false to $true, and millions of people will be able to watch it at the same time.

I get what you mean, but not that long ago wepages used to hijack your back button by forcing redirects to fill up the history, it is less common today, but endless scrolling sites love filling up your history.

The issue is not about having a lot of tabs open, the issue is when people expect their tabs to be open between sessions.

Open 427362728 tabs if you want, but don’t expect them to open on restarting the session

That is fine, open as many tabs as you want, but don’t keep a shitload of tabs open between sessions

That is fine, the issue is not having 500+ tabs open, but having 500+ tabs persistantly open between sessions

You have a terrible workflow.

IT guy here, you are absolutely correct, this shit is dumb and I am annoyed at my dad who does this.

My dad does this, he allways restores his tabs and hardly ever use bookmarks.

I had to help him migrate this shitshow to his new computer, and whenever it breaks he gets really upset.

He likes being able to have access to the history of every tab.

I may be an IT guy but I could not stand doing this.

2019 was a shit year for me, I got mycoplasma just before going abroad on a work trip, I thought it was just a cold, and remember thinking in the taxi that it was going to be a shit week having a cold the entire trip.

Well, it was worse than that, much worse, I could hardly work at all, and nothing I did made me better.

The only relief I got was taking a shower and cough up phlegm sonthst I could sleep, only the hotel reception called me sbout flooding the floor I was on (this was a fancy hotel), and when a technician came up to look at it he half accused me of “splashing and deliberately using the shower outside the bathtub”, something I never did, so I got terrified that I would loose my job because of that since I had used my company credit card (as I should).

But i got a few hours if sleep, and decided I needed to get into a shower again, so I did, and was very careful, but the reception rang again, and sent out a new technician, this guy was way better and actually took a look under the bathtub and found out that the sealing agaibst the wall was fucked, I have never felt such instant relief, it wasn’t my fault!

I got a new fancier room for the last night, and the flew home.

A week later I was diagnosed with pneumonia in one lung, and got penicillin, the pills were too big so I could not swallow them, I tried to dissolve them in water to drink them, but the taste allmost made me throw up, so it took about an hour to slowly drink the penicillin every time.

I didn’t get better and got to hospital, I was admitted and stayed for two nights, I got penicillin striaght in to the blood ans well as drip and finally started getting better.

When I was discharged I got stronger penicillin pills that dissolved easier and didn’t taste revolting.

All in all I was out sick for 1,5 months.

Then in 2022, that year sucked as well, got double heel spurs, flat feet and a bad knee.

It took me a year of painkillers and walking home crying from the bus every day to get it sorted, new inlays and excellent Brooks shoes to get it sorted

Did all the radio stations use custom music?

Yes it will, it is cheaper and atill availablw for purchace.

They may not have as much time to enjoy it as longer players, but they have time.

The B-25 bomber and Boeing 767 airliner are two very differet aircraft.

The WTC towers and the Empire State Building were also very different buildings.

So there events are not really comparable.

Checkout the Well There’s Your Problem podcast about the WTC buildings and the attack.

It is three hours long, quite rambly and full of dark humor, but digs quite deep into the time the towers where constructed and the issues that it caused during the attack.

I have had to say this many times lately, just because something is propaganda, doesn’t automatically make it false.

The best propaganda is the truth.

Since you clearly have no idea of how propaganda works.

Wouldn’t you want something light and small for off roading?

That should help you clear obstacles by goong over or around easier.

I was disgusted when I realized he only just died. I just hope that I will live long enough that I know that I have lived longer after his death than during his life.

He died on 2023/11/29, so almost seven months ago.
