So how is that efficiency served by rewarding ill-prepared organizations with continued business? Their bad leaders don't leave easily. Airlines merge and die. Passeneger travel is mostly a manufactured demand, people don't really need to fly everywhere, it's a convenience and luxury. Commercial freight is a different consideration.

Reply to LPT: If you're traveling for the holidays, be sure to pack an extra set of car keys and a phone charger in your carry-on luggage. This will give you a backup in case you lose your primary keys or your phone dies while you're travelling! by TheEpicBlob
I carry a spare smartphone when I’m in a foreign country and a spare charging cable for my main phone.

Brush and floss daily. Nothing else will matter if you don't do that.

Reply to comment by Uledragon456k in LPT: boil rice until it’s almost fully cooked, drain, then return to pan, cover and steam on low heat for 10 mins. Tastes much better than boiling, draining and serving. by circumlocutious
My mistake, I will try it. Been cooking rice for over twenty years, but that doesn't mean I can't try a new method.

Right?! If done perfectly, no draining required. Minute, whole brown, doesn't matter.

>Unless your car is 20 years old (and maybe it is) if they leave a door open, your car will automatically cut the power and all the lights will go off and stop using your battery.
I wasn't going to comment because I was a mechanic back when cars were not rolling computers and there weren't so many power-sucking components. I haven't kept up on the technology over the years.
I did the math once (back then) and calculated you would have to run your radio and dome light for something like a week to use the same amount of power you use to start your car once. I don't remember the exact numbers, but it was a long time.
Most cars can start the engine multiple times in rapid succession. Think about when you park at a store, shut off your engine, and find yourself too close to a pole to open your door so you start it up again and move a few inches and try to get out again. Then you get back in the car and start the engine to drive to the gas station next door, shut the car off and fill up, then start the engine again to drive somewhere else. If your car won't do that, you need a new battery.

You're spot on. Also its not uncommon for a problem to hid behind another code. So you fix the first code, think its good and then the real code pops up.

You dont need to. Unless the car is really old cars are built to cut the power after a few minutes of having a door/trunk open to avoid this exact situation.

I might have to give it a try. I downloaded war zone on release and played it for like 3 hours but my pc at the time couldn’t really run it.

Yeah, I don't eat directly after eating. Not because I knew the information you shared or anything, so thanks for the info.
It's because I don't like the feel of brushing out whatever little bits of food may have been in my teeth. It feels like a waste. I like to wait a little until most of the little bits either absorb or work their way out. Usually a few hours. For example, today I ate lunch at 1 and brushed at about 3.

Commercial flights are a necessity. The government will intervene at some point and bail all of them out.
We NEED airports functioning properly, not punished. Employees need to be recognized and rewarded. Airlines need efficiency.

No, my post was as clear as it needed to be. If they want expert advice they should go ask a dentist. I'm just a guy with nice teeth. No toothpick needed, I use a water flosser. =)
