Learned all the undergrad math I needed for grad school from youtube, learned how to shoot from youtube, learned R coding on youtube, it is the best resource for knowledge out there. Also, learned how to fix tennis elbow on youtube just last week!

Same. My proudest is a washing machine repair I did. It was leaking on some part inside so I looked it up and the part was like $200. Turns out the part was for a feature we didn't even use and I found someone else had the same issue and he showed how to reroute some of the water lines inside the machine so it bypassed that part. It worked flawlessly and we got several more years out of the machine.

About half of eligible voters18-29 voted in 2020. up from 39% in 2016, but I suspect that won't be true this year, they also still vote way less in non presidential elections, and they don't vote for local poo poo like school boards, city council and judges anywhere near as much as older people.

Yes I do when I check in the bag. That said there's no other communication with the arrival airport on what's in luggage. You'd think the non-TSA locks would be a sign that that bag is kinda important, but I've had one instance where my case went thru the regular carousel instead of being held at oversize baggage. :chloe:

Amy Pole Her posted:

More that it became priority #1. The last thing an airline wants to deal with is the actual cops getting involved with being held liable for losing a firearm, especially if it's stolen and then used in a crime.

This reminds me of when United forced my wife to gate check her carryon and then a bunch of poo poo got stolen out of it. Their only response was "shouldn't have checked anything you don't want stolen, idiot". Motherfuckers you made us check it! Also how is straight up telling a customer that they should definitely expect to be robbed an acceptable response

Also, learned how to fix tennis elbow on youtube just last week!

Reminds me of when my car was randomly making a loud squealing noise and nobody could diagnose it correctly. I took it to 4 different shops and they all had a different solution which means you're basically throwing money at it until eventually the right problem is fixed and I wasn't about to drop multiple thousands replacing poo poo that didn't need replaced. I decided to try and tackle the cheapest thing first which ended up being a $14 part called a camshaft synchronizer. Never heard of it before and the shops wanted a fortune to replace it so I fired up Youtube, watched a few videos, took note of them stressing "the new one needs to go back in the EXACT position it came out in or you'll gently caress your poo poo up" so I nervously did that, expected to blow up my engine and then was so happy when that ended up being the solution and nothing bad happened.

$14, some bravery and Youtube saved me thousands of dollars swapping out good parts for no reason, I was proud of myself that day.

https://nypost.com/2024/04/24/lifestyle/passengers-can-soon-expect-an-automatic-refund-when-a-flight-is-delayed-or-canceled-dot/

NY Post posted:

The Department of Transportation reminded airlines on Wednesday that they must provide “prompt” automatic refunds to customers who miss their flight due to cancellation or delay.

“Passengers deserve to get their money back when an airline owes them — without headaches or haggling,” said US Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

According to the DOT, passengers will be entitled to a full refund if their flight is canceled or significantly changed, if they do not accept alternative transportation options or deny travel credits offered.

The department defines “significant change” as flight departure or arrival times that are moved more than 3 hours domestically and 6 hours internationally, flight departures or arrivals from a different airport, increases in the number of connections, passengers being downgraded to a lower class, updated connections at far-flung airports and flights on another plane that are less accessible to a passenger with a disability.

The regulation applies not only to canceled flights.

Airlines that fail to provide passengers with the extra services they purchased — such as WiFi, seat selection, or in-flight entertainment — must also offer a refund in cash, airline miles or the original form of payment.

“Airlines and ticket agents must issue refunds within seven business days of refunds becoming due for credit card purchases and 20 calendar days for other payment methods,” the DOT statement stated.

Full refunds must include government-imposed taxes, fees and airline-imposed fees.

Passengers who are delayed due to checked baggage issues, such as lost or mishandled luggage, are entitled to a full refund for their checked bag fee if the luggage does not arrive within 12 hours of the domestic flight or 15-30 hours of an international flight, though the refund can vary depending on the flight duration.
