Is it just me or do the UK drone regulations seem... extremely reasonable? Including this:

"You do not have to keep your drone or model aircraft in direct sight when follow-me mode is active and set to follow within 50m of you"

Umm, I'm 30,000 feet in the air about 30 minutes outside of Seattle and just got this emergency alert on my phone. What does it mean and what went wrong that caused me to get this??

I guess that’s why I never understood it bc I use a Google Voice # for transactions like this.

They'd get an error message trying to verify a google voice number with another google voice number and I'm sure they would just give up after that and move on. My main number is a google voice number I've had for almost 15 years now 😅

I’m looking into it, apparently they register a Google voice in your name, your reply with a code and they take over your number and cause mayhem https://news.trendmicro.com/2021/11/04/google-voice-scam-facebook-verification-code/

I think the end game is to get a google voice account which gives them a number to use for other scams. You need a real phone number to verify a google voice account. I don't think it has anything to do with you personally, or using your name/identity in the further scams.

I somehow ended up with not one, not two, but three separate hotel reservations for my trip next week, and I am baffled as to what part of my normal travel process failed that caused this to occur.

Actually I think the problem is that we are now forced to use TripActions, and TripIt doesn't know how to parse the flight confirmation emails from TripActions, so I no longer have a single view of my travel anymore

I'm muting this thread and saying this once:

Fahrenheit being "how people feel" is not about it being "natural" it's about how it was measured and what it was based on. I'd really think more of you would know this instead of taking personal offense.

Listen you can be as grumpy as you want about "celsius making sense to you cause you grew up in a scandanavian ice commune" or whatever but unless you're a Themperor I'm sorry but this is the law of the land now

My friend said "Fahrenheit is how people feel. Celcius is how water feels. Kelvin is how the molecules feel." and I can't stop thinking about how much sense this makes

I imagine the live streaming gear is continuing to get close to pushing you over the carry-on limits….

See this is why I like the yolobox so much, because it ends up being really not that much stuff at all! I'm even able to still fit the drone!

It is SHOCKING to see how much cellular data some apps use. Lightroom, I get. I shouldn’t have opened it. But IMDb? All I did was look up an actor! Toggling off the high data offenders to not make those mistakes again. Ouch!

I'm guessing at least 80% of that IMDB usage is loading their ads 🙄

Killer hook ideas:

- Shocking statistics
- Bold claims
- Starts of stories
- Big benefits
- Relevant questions

Start with one of those next time you write.

Folks, if you fly right now try NOT TO CHECK LUGGAGE. If you are able to just go with a carry on for your trip, do so. It gives you a lot more options for flexibility when the airline industry falls on its face.

Seriously! I was already pretty adamant about not checking bags before, but it's gotten really bad!

Thankfully the gate checked bags for the tiny planes don't throw your bag into the checked baggage system

Sometimes when I’m having a low tank day, to cheer myself up I remember that D.A.R.E. tried to market to the youth by making these “TOO COOL TO DO DRUGS” pencils

and that as you sharpen them they change to “COOL TO DO DRUGS,”

and then just “DO DRUGS”
