It does go through a tunnel and run under one of the airport terminals though.
As someone that uses that particular station regularly, I welcome our classical overlords and have noticed it being generally calmer than it had been over the summer. I do wonder if they've account for the fact that it's winter now and people aren't as inclined to just hang out in the sub-freezing temps. Time will tell, I suppose.

Thank you for that! Those, more than any other ads, really get on my nerves.

Longtime Opera user here, continues to suit my needs, but the beta still needs a fair bit of work:
- The new Tab Stacks feature is almost what I've wanted for some time, needs some more depth to it (labelling, pinning, and loading sessions as stacks in particular), and to undo the wonkiness introduced to the tab bar behavior in general
- Nice to see Opera join the Extensions party, but slim pickings so far, need to see what gets developed for it to measure its worth.
- While the Mouse Gestures overhaul/visual feedback is a nice idea, it currently forces a much more rigid input of the gestures than what anyone seems to be used to.

I'm not seeing any technical reason for the block as this (like yesterday's floating balls and the custom backgrounds introduces a little while back) seems to work fine in Opera if you edit the site preferences to mask as Firefox when browsing Google.

This behavior is still there, if not by default. Right click on the Tab Bar -> Customize -> Appearance -> Mark the "Show only when needed" checkbox.

Yes! And depending on usage patterns, you may end up more ambidextrous as a result.

Does this hold true when you're traveling out of the country? Most of the US add-on 'unlimited' plans fall in that same price range, but only within the country. As soon as you start traveling, data (and voice) gets a hefty per-use charge added on to it.

Feed How To Rip And Tear A Fluid (sciencedaily.com)
In a simple experiment on a mixture of water, soap and salt, researchers have shown that a knife-like object slides through the mixture at slow speeds as if it were a liquid, but at faster speeds rips it up as if it were a rubbery solid. The research provides new insights into how such materials, which share properties of everyday materials like blood, switch from being like a solid to being like a liquid.
