No rush. Thanks for taking the time.

That global security update last year put out a whole bunch of services. It could just as easily been the paper versions that wouldn’t scan and the digital were the only ones accepted. Just luck.

However, I can see the benefit for international flights with connections as your phone or device could easily lose power with long haul flying. Still pretty easy fix as most airports have power outlets everywhere for charging. But, if there was a flight delay landing, that would be a rush and extra stress.

How many flights worldwide are there? It seems like an awful waste of paper, for what is effectively a barcode.

No, but overweight 70 year olds with bad diet and stress and mental health issues often die.

So, while he might screw with democracy, including the election process, he won’t last too long.

Lol, he’s not immortal. Depends on whether you consider his successor the next administration, if there is no valid elections.

Or juice, lol.

He wasn’t rich before he became president. He’s now very rich, but can never enjoy it.

Or pre pubescent children.

It’s a sign.

Even having a middle man won’t help. The postal services are not engaging until there is a system in places and clarity.

Sure, mass shipping can work, but is cost prohibitive for all niche products, like you’ve mentioned unless they have a giant distribution deal.

They don’t want to get the ultimate bill for the duties owed. They don’t usually keep customer information, so it needs to be collected up front or not at all.

Then why the water. Cooking oils and water don’t mix.

Ending all parcels from 88 countries is not,

Gosh, I’ve read about the water situation in places like Michigan. It didn’t occur to me that parts of the USA have water that could be to blame. I should have said bread! Although that might trigger the gluten crowd.

Have they tried investigating water? Most criminals have water. Most pregnant mothers whose kids turn out to have autism drink water.

Is that as those who are punished, in religion, deserve it? However children are innocent and usually autism is diagnosed in young people or children. So, they don’t ‘deserve’ it? If it’s just random, maybe other things are too and the preachers are making stuff up?

It’s a long train of thought to get there. I’d say it’s more just susceptibility to conspiratorial thinking, but who knows.

It’s really easy for me to save my boarding pass. One button. No paper James, no ink, no networking issues. Each method works fine, almost all the time. One just is more wasteful and easier to lose or damage.

I’ve never been to an airport without wifi in the day of digital passes.

Lol, because printers is basically hunter gatherer territory. I just think printing digital information is wasteful. I don’t even see elderly people doing it any more. That’s why I’m curious. It seems harder, not easier these days.

How and why?

Lol, this post breaches the rules. It is not thought provoking. There are no rules about meta posts being exempt.

If you don’t like posts as you think they are not good for the community, downvore and move on. Or direct people to a more correct community to post.

Helpful and constructive discussion is more important than rote following rules with such a small community.

Hyper moderation can work well for something like r/ask historians but is overkill for general discussion. Better discussion should drown out the chaff.

What’s toyotathon? A sale on Toyota?

Just a heads up that anthropic have just lost a $1.5b case for downloading and storing copyrighted works. That’s $3,000 per author of 500000 books.

The wheels of justice move slowly but fair use has limits. Commercial use is generally not one. Commentary and transformation are, so we’ll see how this progresses with the many other cases.

Warner Brothers have recently filed another case, I think.
