Why is this insightful? It's simply wrong. You are not required to show ID to fly on domestic U.S. routes period. You'll go through a more comprehensive pat down and bag search before passing through security, but that's it. Having ID is not a requirement.

Oh please go on Mr Strawman.

The point that many people are making is that you're rationalizing not buying salt to save money while talking about getting drunk on cheap red wine at a bar once per week.

Sure it would, she didn't know any better either. I have an aunt that cooks a lot, but she under seasons everything, it's rather bland. My cousin, who is used to this type of cooking considers himself a "foodie", and has the exact same problem with everything he cooks, it's simply under seasoned.

And just stop using cost as an reason for not buying salt, the cost over the term it's usage is simply too low for any rational person to bother budgeting for. A 26oz container of Morton Salt is 0.89 on Amazon Pantry right now and should last a very, very long time.

Your wife and kids love your cooking because they're used to the blandness and lack of balance. It's no different than a person that's raised on a processed food diet thinking that properly salted food is bland.

The PROPER use of salt certainly has an effect on both the taste and the sensory feeling of food. Of course adding too much salt just makes things salty, the challenge is learning how to season food properly.

I'll also call out your B.S. "I couldn't afford that $1.00 expense" excuse. Salt is the cheapest seasoning in the supermarket.

I suggest you start here:

Where you can read fun facts like the following:

Salt imparts more than just a salt taste to overall food flavor. In work with a variety of foods (soups, rice, eggs, and potato chips), salt was found to improve the perception of product thickness, enhance sweetness, mask metallic or chemical off-notes, and round out overall flavor while improving flavor intensity (Gillette, 1985). These effects are illustrated in Figure 3-2, using soup as an example. In the figure, the distance of each of the points (e.g., âoethickness,â âoesaltinessâ) from the center point represents the intensity of that particular attribute. This figure shows that when salt is added to a soup, not only does it increase the saltiness of that soup (compare closed circles with open triangles and open circles for saltiness), but it also increases other positive attributes, such as thickness, fullness, and overall balance.

Travel much? Unless you're traveling to some FAR rural area in the U.S. you want T-Mobile. The international access you get as part of your account is simply amazing. I've been in a dozen countries across Europe, Asia, and Central and South America over the last 18 months and have had free data and text as soon as my plane touched down in each country. Coworkers on Verizon and AT&T are stuck buying expensive supplementary data plans.

It's been studied, several times over. Here's one you can use for reference. The summary is that in offices where employees have privacy and personal space, productivity is much higher. https://www.usnews.com/opinion... https://www.fastcompany.com/30... https://www.tradegecko.com/blo...

Note the "Can be". It's a clickbait article. Seatac is only horrible around holiday and vacation days. At Seatac it also depends on which line. Go through security in the Central or North checkpoints where the Delta/Alaska flights are and lines are longer than the South checkpoint. Regardless, most days the lines are no longer than 30 minutes max. Last week when I went through they were maybe 10 minutes in the late afternoon. Current wait times right now at 7:30 AM are 0-30 minutes depending on gate. I fly out of Seatac a dozen times a year before i did Pre-Check rarely ever waited more than 20-30 min, never more than an hour.

There's more to reliability than failure rates. Enterprise drives have stronger magnets, more robust error detection, better vibration dampening, etc..plus consumer drives do not support TLER, making them useless in anything other than the massive JBOD environments you mentioned.

Just a few things I thought of while looking at this study:

The authors are using Backblaze data. Backblaze uses consumer grade SATA disk which isn't going to be as reliable as the Enterprise SATA/SAS disk we would use.

I'm willing to bet that none of the authors of this paper have ever had to pay for colocated rack space, power, and cooling either, they've just doubled the RU that I need for storage. At $1500.00 - $2000.00 per rack that adds up.

Doubling the rack space for storage I need so I can avoid a few service calls by my storage vendor over 5 years simply isn't efficient.

We've installed close to 500TB of archival storage using commodity hardware and 2-3TB Nearline SAS. We have maybe 3 hand and eyes calls per year for disk replacement.

Anyway - just rambling.

Your product offers no benefit in calorie intake compared to regular mayo and none of the nutritional benefits of mayo made with eggs. Eggs are one of the most nutritionally sound food items I can buy. As a component in other foods, they're low calorie, high protein, and chock full of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids addition. Just Mayo is also more expensive than real mayo. So tell me, why should I buy your product?

"SuperHD" Netflix is only 6-7Mb/sec at best so two streams shouldn't be a difficult feat for any recent wifi router. It's no different for DVD's which peak at 11Mb/sec. Try something like a full BR rip, 802.11n just doesn't cut it.

Those TV's are meant for public display and don't have the calibration controls necessary for a consumer display. At $2800.00 I would expect at least 10pt RGB&Greyscale adjustment.

The problem with that is that the only Dumb TV's left are bottom tier junk. Those of us that actually care about image quality have no other options than Smart TV's.

There really aren't any sites that do reviews of Enterprise class hardware. At best you'll find reviews of SMB hardware like what StorageReview does, but that's really about it. The other problem is the reliance on synthetic benchmarks. We've run into a few cases where hardware has performed as expected while doing test runs, but then found bugs and issues when put in a POC lab environment.
