He/him, like so many a twitter refugee. One time regular at rec.arts.sf.written.Robert-Jordan and a few other places.

I’m not sure if this is the next We didn’t start the fire verse or something else.

He might not have known how, as well. The international ticket QR codes are read by cameras that are present in a few but not most of the gates, but they otherwise look very similar. Or I guess got really unlucky and the gate(s) with QR code readers were broken.

Yeah. The smallest one I’ve seen tbh has at least two gates, usually more, and I think most people can push past them given enough incentive. And I suspect they fail-open, in principle.

Yeah, I would not have gotten that, but then again I have nothing at all to do with that game at any point in my life.

From the first seconds, it feels Dragonforce.

… come to think of it, why do they have an opinion page instead of opOnion?

Also β€” and much more commonly β€” in stations that are so little used that it’s not financially worth it to install gates.

Nah mate. Trump isn’t taking away *their* guns. Just the guns of the β€œgang violence” and β€œinner city youths” and whatever other dog whistles you want.

Nuremberg and the fate of Benito are instructive.

I mean… tectonic plate boundaries tent to equal mountains or deep ravines possibly filled with water.

If you’re going to have a technical boundary like that, that’s *precisely* where it would happen.

(Similarly, the old Europe/UK 220/240 split was at the English Channel. Spooooooky.)

Kill files were never for the spam β€” at least not within my lifetime. They were for your personal curation.

And counter counterpoint: those billions were sunk costs. Keeping it running in life support would have been way cheaper β€” or at least certainly should have been if it was competently designed during the massive investment phase.

I don’t care how much money they lost on it before or even how much they were losing on an ongoing basis. I just care that they took it away from me, which is worse than never having it at all.

Since the guy is apparently gone now, I have now idea whether I ever blocked him.

Google+ was so damn close to that. And then they TOOK IT AWAY. Bastards.

If they do this to paid users I am cancelling that subscription stante pede.

He also says the tan isn’t available any more, so it’s not that weird he’d be wearing something else.

It’s not like it wasn’t OP before that change, either!

I mean, she’d probably be easier to talk to that way.

Just for context though, getting one installed by a pro is probably closer to a grand than to 200. Makes spending a little extra on the material a little more palatable.

Oh, I absolutely do, in so many ways! I definitely don’t blame you or the company, to be crystal clear. It’s just life in the 21st.

(Although tbf shipping cost becoming more realistic than subsidized for direct US imports is a trend that’s been going on for decades, it’s not just the Current Guy.)

Those covers look familiar! I must have at least a couple of those from back in the day. I was looking at the perfect collection but… man, shipping kills it these days. 32 bucks of books and 100 bucks of shipping. Probably other places to get it, I guess.
