Well, luggage is weight, and weight means more fuel burned. That’s not the scam.

The scam is advertising your plane ticket as $20 cheaper than the competition with luggage included, and then make you pay $30 for the luggage at checkout.


Diamonds were fairly rare when we used to mine them in Asia and America. And it’s a nice shiny stone which is also very durable.

Then, we found out Africa is actually full of diamonds and DeBeers said “we can’t have that!” and started buying all the African diamonds to keep them away to artificially inflate the price and scarcity.

Then we found out we can make them in labs better than the mined ones and DeBeers sai “that’s not a natural diamond, you don’t want that!” and so on.

The whole marketing about “A diamond is forever!” is to make you think you’ll never want to sell your diamon ring, so you don’t find out your precious gift paid $2,000 is actually wortth $50.

An EA spokeperson would say “it’s all about the experience”.


God I hate Docker. It’s a great system for lazy devs to NOT learn how to deploy software.

(I love LXC containers and QEMU, tho)


Yes, sand in the desert and beaches is “too old”, in other words, it’s too smooth and can’t hold material together. That’s why Dubai is importing huge amounts of sand while being literally a city in the desert.


Same. To this day, I never rewatched gremlins again.


You’re not wrong. Never the less I’m thankfull that some people took the effort to make stuff run without crapd.



Must be another American thing, like blue bubbles. I know plenty of people with iPhones and nobody uses facetime.


Hey, there’s nothing wrong in a protocol that’s been created in 2007.

Email and http are way older and are still used everyday.

Just because outlook does it better now (that’s arguable) doesn’t mean it’s the only one solution.


How would you rate the Xperia compared to the galaxy?


I would suggest you to give a look at the Sony Xperia 5, but we know that’s a lousy motivation.


Same for me. I always think to PM as private message and DM as dungeon master, and that’s it.

I accepted the term DM as directed message because in fact there was no such thing as Private Message.


Older audience will beat you with LOL, ROTFLMAO, RTFM N00B and GTFO!


I hate systemd, but my Gentoo is running gnome just fine with openrc.
