well the seatbelts in planes operates a bit different to the ones in land based vehicles, ie no auto tentipning and the release mechanism is a bit different so fair play a lest for those that have never flown before

I've notisecd somthing odd, put the security briefing, when given in multiple languages. rally say the same thing. I'm locky enough to understand both Dutch and English and I can say wit a high degre of confidence that The english and ducth briefing does not say the same thing for some reason the English version is very carefull to point out that the nejerest emergency exiys might be behind you whereas the Dutch version does not mention this at all it just says something along the lines of " lease locate your renest emergency exit" and then pressedes to list where exits are, in the other hand the Dutch Breaking is carrfull to warn about the posebilitu that logage might fall out of the overhed bins when you open them, the english version never mentions it at all. Not to pick on KLM here, I've noticed the same with the English vs Norwegian/Swedish (sorry Danes I dont't grok spoken Dansih) briefing on SAS flights not at the same exact point but the briefings definitely differ. Dies anyone know the reason for this? I mean surly important saftu info shoud be the same regardless of language

Well ofc this varies by jurisdiction and the age of the "kids" in question but under a certain age kids are not allowed to work but they still need housing, food, clothing etc, so your idea might have limited practical value, also on this economy getting a job, any jib withourvat keast highs hool is rather difficult

Visual studio ( no noy vs code, the actual IDE not the text editor ( however good it might be), apparently a lot of shops have never heard of Jetbrains Rider ( or the rest of Jrtbraind products)

I must be easy to please then, because I don't find Ubuntu 26.04 awful at all (granted I have a very limited number if tweaks, dash to panel and ArcMenu). May I inquire why you think Ubuntu is so awful. As ti Linuxes ease of use not havenig introved in 20 years, your milage may vary but I suspect for a lot of users it certainly has. Driver support is a lot beter now, gaming actually mostly works witthout endless twerking (apparat from kernel level anti cheat ofc). Does linux run adobe sw? No but you can ask Adobe why not. Is linux perfect? No but at least is seams to be moving in the right direction, while windows... No I won't be mean and list all the critical bugs they've hade during the last year, that is not what this post is about

Oh mu bad, is "getting a check" a colonialism for gering payed rather than an indication of the method of payment. I would think yhat in 2026 thera are way better ways of setheling payments, but I keep forgetting that the IS banking syste seams rather too fomd f things rooted in the previous century.

No the Swedish citizens won't get checks, for several reasons, one because checks are really suspensiv ways hof handeling payments (banks charge ridicules processing fees). And as others have said this case is between Pricerunner (now klarna) and google, so any compensation wil end up in klarnas accounts, if it would have been the sweedish government they would have giotten the money and used it to cover expenses or pay down debt (which would not be a bad thing)

1KW for 2H/day is 2KWH/day * 30 days/month = 60KWH/month, what is the minimum rate the utility will pay you for power fed to the grid?

And the social security card (well the SSN really but who cares) was never designed as an id number (no way to verify validity without looking it up, easy te generate a number that appears to be valid when it's not etc), surry to be harsh but the US needs to do better in 2026 come on most membership/rewards cards have more securety build in than the de-facto id number everybody uses, why does no one seam to mind this?

At lkeast if the subject in question is somthng that are buillt on in courses they have in later years. Because if juo don't know the matereal well enough to pass, you will struggle unnecessarily when you hit courses that excerpts that the material tested on the exam you cheated on to be already known. Ofc this argument completely fails for subjects you just take to fill in credit qoutas . Or if the cheting iss more to inflate grades than to pjus simply pass the class

Free as in freedom not necessarily as in beer

well passengers don't need to see over the hood anyway so that's a non issue

And there we have ity. this is allso a self reinforcing system, due it it being dangerous to walk no one walks so waking walkable neighborhoods will never be a priority because everyone drives eventyrere anyway so..

Are bench seats still a thing?

Well just put a prominent plaque with the BHP and torque on the vehicle, no need to make them more dangerous to soft road users than nesecary just to lokk cool post the actual performance numbers clearly visable on the exterior instead that way revybody can see instead of guesing by shape
