One requires 2 people in person to engage, and is usually projected in a general direction which limits sounds. The other, only 1 person has to be present and sound may go in any direction.

I've never heard of sound going in a particular direction. Are they throwing their voices under a cone of silence?

I see no problem with letting mobile phones be used for entertainment with headphones, even during take off. The flight safety information is practically the same as law.

I just don't want multiple people talking on their phones cause it would be freaking annoying.

What's the difference between talking on a phone and passengers talking?

This horse has been beaten dead over and over. Captain Joe and other airline pilots admitted that it's all about the airlines controlling passengers' attention through deception, and has nothing to do with safety.

At cruise altitude, mobile devices are too far away from towers to operate, so only ground and takeoff/landing ops would be usable externally. It would be more efficient to have femtocells for major carriers onboard relayed to ground stations.

Half of Americans won't get vaccinated. 2/3 or more aren't listening to the muddled, mealy-mouth messages that change every other day. Some people are still wearing masks where it doesn't matter (outside) and others refuse. It's a public health disaster created by bad leadership.

> ban all interpersonal interaction for several months, stop all transportation, and put locks on everybody's doors so they can't leave their houses

But then everybody starves to death. And anything less won't actually eradicate the virus, as we've seen.

I can go for 70 days without any food and I have a good 40 days supply at home.

If we did something like this or what China did in the first place, it would've died out.

Relying on individual responsibility inexorably leads to a Tragedy of the Commons. Individuals can never be trusted.

doggodaddo78 commented on The recycling myth: A plastic waste solution littered with failure   reuters.com/investigates/... · Posted by u/laurex
doggodaddo78 · 5 years ago
The plastics industry pushed recycling (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) as an individual's duty to return piles of packaging and single-use items, not the manufacturer's, to subtly shift the blame for microplastics and plastic pollution.

How it would've worked in the 1930's: Mandatory vaccines by social forces. No vaccine, get shunned and shut-out of stores, social gatherings, and commerce. No comfort animals or religious dodges. Do what's right, not because of a Rand Paul grandstanding tantrum or tribal conspiracy theories about freedumbs, but because of common sense and scientific evidence.

It's the women who are shallow because of the premise and captology of Tinder. It's working as intended. If you're not a super attractive man (a model), then you're wasting your time on Tinder.

About
My handwriting is terrible, people pay me to not sing, and an ADHD-PI "annoying weirdo."

I'm nerdy on the inside and online, but a goofy weirdo you'd mistake for a tweaker yippie on the outside. I collect Soviet memorabilia, controversial books, and coed FWBs. I don't know much about anime, board games, scifi, or video games. I do know a thing about kitchens, DIY, electronics, running businesses, startups, obsessing to fix bugs, and being ridiculous.

I like me some Rust, Haskell, Ocaml, Idris, Crystal, and Pony. Extra butter, parm, and hot sauce.

Love for all: LGBTQ+, BLM, poly, AGR, and misfits of the world unite.
