FWIW I probably 2-5 round trips per year and I’ve never seen a flight attendant spraying anything

As far as I’m aware if you are talking about the Kinzhal it’s a quasi-ballistic missile not really a true hypersonic missile so it’s easy to intercept. They also claim a range of 2000km but that includes the airplane’s range.

That would work well assuming scammers and stuff are actually blocked from spoofing phone numbers

I appreciate your optimism but there definitely are bad singers

Black and chrome don’t really look how I would expect

By hoodies do you mean the cotton ones with fleece linings or a lightweight breathable one? If it’s a thicker cotton one I can’t imagine wearing that in summer

To each their own but I thought it was a fun post. I enjoyed seeing a post that wasn’t “AI is terrible” or “Everyone should use AI for everything”

Structural support in the floor? There are people that weigh more than this. It’s only 20 gallons

Seriously, this is a cool project and I’m sure the person had a lot of fun which some people are apparently allergic to.

Some exhausts can sound cool but at someone that lives near a road I don’t think people should subject other people to loud exhausts. Just because someone installed a subwoofer (depending on how the audio was before) doesn’t necessarily mean they are blasting it so loud it is bothering other people. Some cars have pretty horrible stock sound

Great game! I love the timer, I’m just absolutely abysmal at scrabbled letter games

When I put in directions on my phone it gives me turn by turn directions in the gauge cluster so I don’t have to look at the center screen as often

Wow that’s a bit harsh. You can’t think of any examples where you may need to send a string to something but want to do it quickly?

It’s quite easy to not burn yourself. I’ve done a fair bit of soldering and it has only happened like twice to me and it wasn’t that bad

Maybe someone wants to hear from an actual human rather than risk hearing a plausible but potentially incorrect answer from AI

No it’s like a mild pressure on some teeth for maybe a day or two but then doesn’t really feel like much

I mean good for you for being able to eat a breakfast of plain soybeans but even if it extends my life a bit I don’t that I could do it.
