If someone works at the airport and is screaming at people with limited English proficiency who rarely fly, that is the fault of the rude employee. They should get a different job.

It’s a customer facing role where the main responsibility is directing confused and anxious people.


See, that's where you're wrong. Their main responsibility is preventing a violent attack. At least, according to the people who set the agenda and policies for frontline employees. Faulting "rude" employees is futile; even when you have legitimate reason and desire to correct their behavior, do you sit there and negotiate with the scanner operator? No, you go to their boss. So, who is responsible?

Wow, I had read his book but had no idea that he was so influential pushing efforts to remove separated bike lanes in California.


How is this better than the official NYC 311 app?

I am assuming that maybe except for some TLC vehicles reporting won’t change anything. Do you have a different experience?

I could probably report 20 vehicles a week on a 2 block stretch of road.


What do you mean? You can use Linux on a Chromebook just fine if the user is an adult but if the user is a child there is some Chromebook restriction?

I got “402 PAYMENT REQUESTED”

When I checked part of this article, Pangram said 100% AI.

If you cook with extra virgin olive oil, having the pan temperature reach the Leidenfrost effect will lead to the oil smoking.


Yes, EVO smokes at ~190C, and you need 200C-230C for Leidenfrost. Heating up good EVO is a waste anyways.

I do mostly cook in ghee, beef tallow and coconut oil.

If you're ok with refined/seed oils there's plenty more you can use.


Avocado oil is good, it has a high smoke point.


Simple fix: don't cook with extra virgin olive oil on high heat. The smoke point is one reason. Flavor is another. Cost is a third (less expensive fats are better suited for this task)


Yeah I’ve done nearly 3000 sessions on there and it’s been a life saver.


When I went to my most recent doctor’s appointment they told me that I needed to sign on the signature pad that I agreed to be treated.

I asked to see the agreement I’m signing and they lied to me and said it’s something I’ve already agreed to even though the last updated date on the document was after my last visit.

Then they said that if I wanted to actually read what I’m signing that it could delay being seen by the provider and made a big deal about trying to find the paper.

Eventually I was able to find the full documents I was agreeing to in MyChart and it wasn’t just that I was okay with being treated.


Students would just connect to their own hotspot and not have any restrictions.


Fair point. The ban makes sense.
