ah but there's the rub, lower altitudes require burning more fuel. Burning more fuel creates more CO2 emissions, higher cost for shipping and passenger flights, and generally longer flight times. Flying aircraft the way we do isn't from some willy nilly decision or "neato look how high we can go" pp measuring contest.

that I might have an actual condition that makes me over sensitive to some of the weirder human noises. I never made a huge deal out of it, but it certainly effected the relationship somewhat that I had with my ex-wife. She makes strange, almost cartoonish, noises when she eats. Image someone actually verbalizing, "nom nom nom GULP." Or when she breathed she makes a weird grunting noise. I always thought she should ask her doctor about that one, but she wouldn't acknowledge doing it, even after being presented with a recording. These things didn't lead to our divorce, but they are certainly things I don't miss!

For an alarming number of JS "devs", it's not really a matter of mindset, it's more a lack of any real skillset. Go visit a gitter or discord channel where people help each other out. Most people aren't asking with help coding, they are asking for help using a library, simple or not. Most haven't RTFM, don't want to RTFM, and couldn't care less about TFM. Web developer code camps, free or not, are churning out individuals that have little interest in coding and see it more as a way to "get rich quick". I have interactions with these types of people too frequently. I work with another contractor that is pretty decent with HTML/CSS but struggles endlessly with javascript. So no, not a mindset, just inexperience that will never be realistically corrected.

Comment Re: But Edge is still new compared to the others (Score 1) 147

I have Win10 pro on my laptop, I've never seen a pop up from M$. I only used Edge long enough to install Chrome. My laptop is an older Lenovo R61 that never just sipped electrons anyway. Other than Chrome I haven't done any mods or disabled any services.
