So you concede you were talking out your ass when you said "Most of them have a 0-60 time of eventually." Got it.

I've been assured by the best non-experts in the world on social media that viruses don't exist. Personally I think it's caused by the body trying detox all those chemtrail poisons they spray us with.

My F150 has a 0-60 of around 5.5 seconds. Big truck or not, its twin-turbo v6 can move it surprisingly quickly. And it is not a high-end performance model like the Raptor, just a plain XL with the 3.5L option.

Well that and $70m, most likely per year like their $60m deal with Google for the same thing: https://searchengineland.com/o...

Well all the people over on r/MyBoyfriendIsAI/ should be rejoicing today.

That's the fun part though: You can't. At least not with this solution. This is just thin client computing. They run windows servers in their DC, your IT installs your apps, configures everything like what app icons to present to what users, and you login to a web portal. Yes, the endpoint doesn't need to be Windows (Although MS still gets a cut from it since you need a RDS CAL) but you still need Windows on the back-end. Citrix has being doing this for decades now. You can see the architecture on their site: https://helpcenter.cameyo.com/...

They also probably don't want to get hassled/sued by rights holders for facilitation by "making it too easy" to use their Firesticks for piracy.

They may take them to a bank or kiosk to cash them in, but no way most people will get rid of them through payments. That's one of the problems with them, no one wants to carry them so they pile up. I remember my parents had like half a dozen coffee cans full of coins, 99% pennies. Hell there are a pile of them in my center console in my car right now that will most likely never get spent.

For an additional fee.

THAT, I believe, is the main part of this change. Ryan Air already doesn't even break even on the pure ticket cost. It's the horrendous extra fees that make it profitable.

Which cost, exactly?

We are speaking about paper boarding passes the customers themselves print. The gates read the barcode and don't care if it's on paper or a phone screen.

So which cost, exactly?

That's putting it mildly.

Smartphones can crash, run out of battery or any number of problems. On important trips I usually have a paper boarding pass with me as a backup. Only needed it once, but I'm just one person with fairly normal travel amounts. Multiplied over the number of people flying Ryan Air, statistically speaking this happens constantly.

Frankly speaking, I think it's a gimmick to milk the customers for more money. Someone at Ryan Air has certainly done the calculation, estimated how many people can't access their boarding pass at the gate for whatever reason, and how much additional money they can make by forcing all these people to pay the additional fee for having it printed.

It wasn't selling well enough to keep it. Sorry, but you are in a small but vocal minority here.

Mostly true but not entirely. For the moment at least there are still applications such as airplanes where fossil fuels have no reasonable alternative. But yes, a large number of things that we currently power by burning long-dead dinosaurs could just as well work with other sources of energy.

And yeah, I think the whole world looks at the Middle East and is thinking: If you all so much want to kill each other, why don't we just step back and let you?

Some born with golden spoon in mouth boy is learning the expensive way that no, money can NOT buy everything. The laws of physics don't care how rich you are or how much money you throw at them. :-)
