That person is responsible for handling the weight and balance for passengers, bags, fuel, and cargo, acting as the interface for the above and below the wing personnel, managing access to the jet bridge and aircraft, securing the aircraft on the ground, and scanning in passengers. Policing boarding order is a very very small part of the job. Even if they find a way to automate the boarding process, you still need an operations agent. Airline management can be questionable but they aren’t that bad.

More likely would be trying to get rid of the CSRs, something some airlines have done. That causes its own problems though.

Not sure who’s job it would replace. Right now policing boarding order is done by one person who is responsible for a bunch of other things that are critical for the flight. Even if they want to trim staff, and they do, that isn’t a place they can do it.

Use ranch dressing. I was informed that was for gays and city folk only. I really had no response to that nugget of wisdom.

I used to work in a job that involved handling radioactive materials. We had dosimeter badges to track long term exposure to radiation. One pass through the full body scanner at a TSA checkpoint would make the dosimeter badge come back from the lab at greater than monthly allowable exposure. I’ll take the grope.

I have the opposite. Unlimited phone data, but it throttles above some high number that I’ve never hit. Capped home internet from crapcast, 1.3 TB, I haven’t hit it but I’ve come within a couple gigabytes.

They offer unlimited data if I use their modem/router for an extra $10/mo. Of course their modem comes with the wonderful feature of a public hotspot for any other Comcast customers in the area. I’ve been thinking about getting their modem, putting it in a metal box and just using pass through with my opnsense box.

For US carriers off the top of my head, Spirit and frontier are all airbus fleets. Allegiant has one 737 in their fleet I think and is otherwise Airbus. JetBlue and Breeze have no Boeing products. All the big airlines have lots of Boeing products.

The cracks, they don’t remove our protection. The cracks still have all our code in and all our code is executed. There is even more code on top of the cracked code - that is executing on top of our code, and causing even more stuff to be executed. So there is technically no way that the cracked version is faster than the uncracked version

That’s some bigly code there.

I like the catppuccin cursors (along with the rest of catppuccin) https://github.com/catppuccin/cursors

If only voting early would get me off the political spam list.

Pistachio milk. Normally I can’t stand adding anything to my coffee, but pistachio milk is the one exception. The only problem is that it only keeps for a few days so you pretty much have to make it yourself or get it at a restaurant that makes it. Otherwise I like unsweetened almond milk.

As someone who goes through TSA several times a week. Nah fuck that, some of the smurfs are absolutely there to fuck your day up just because they can. I’d say about 60% of the officers are highly mediocre, about 30% are good, but that last 10% are just malicious.

I live in a major city. The nearest Kroger is 2 blocks away. The nearest non-kroger is 7 miles away. And I have to drive past 3 Kroger’s to get there. It’s ridiculous.

Bought a kobo recently. Bought it direct from Kobo, Walmart wasn’t involved at all in any step. Worked perfectly out of the box with Caliber too. Nice little device, library interface could use some work but it’s functional.

Well when the LLM craze collapses in the nearish future we’ll have a bunch more nuclear power in the 2030’s. So that’s good I guess?

Wake up between 7 and 10 depending on what timezone I’m in, I work late so I don’t need an alarm. Open the hotel blinds to get some real light. Eat some yogurt. Do a light work out. Shower. Do whatever until whenever my phone says go to work. Work 3–14 hours based on whatever schedule is on my phone. Go to hotel. Go to bed. Appreciate the fact that I have no meetings ever and at least 16 days off a month.

What you are looking for is a RAG and is one of the few legitimately useful implementations of LLMs outside the wall of hype.

Working out. I finally realized that my psychological issue with working out was doing a long duration thing that I didn’t like. My solution was a high intensity short workout which doesn’t bother me at all from a mental perspective, so now I do burpees. Quick and over before I have a chance to not like it.

Personally I would argue that allowing users to install extensions, mostly adblockers, you remove what’s probably the single most common real world vector for attackers, ads. So while chromium browsers may be more secure I would say you’re probably less likely to run into a problem with a firefox based browser with ublock origin on it, mobile or desktop.

Looks like a landing gear fire. Before it gets asked, no that’s not a Boeing 737. Frontier’s fleet consists entirely of Airbus A32x aircraft.

flax seeds. Lots of fiber, omega-3s, protein, and vitamin B. The best part is that ground flax seed tastes like nothing so you can add it to whatever.
