The great thing is, it’s not just for flights! My travel insurance gives me coverage as long as I’m travelling outside my home. It literally covers damage to my bike if I’m visiting my parents for the weekend, or road assistance if my car breaks down on my way to a hike.
That’s essentially why I have it: Pretty much everything I bring with me on any trip that’s not to-from work is covered.
Travel insurance? Regulation? Out of any insurance worth paying for, I think travel insurance is like top of the line. Anything goes wrong while travelling (stolen stuff, lost/delayed baggage/damaged rental car/cancelled flights/etc.) gives me a decent payback. I pay like 120 USD/yr.
Regarding regulations: At least in the EU/EEA we have some decent regulations requiring airlines to reimburse you if they lose or delay your baggage.
What order should they be read then? I started with “The magician’s nephew” and though that made sense back then (probably when I was like 13).
I really don’t see backing for this take like… anywhere?
Sure: Linux gives you absolute control, I won’t debate that. I work on a Mac however, and haven’t yet found any guard rails that a simple sudo !! won’t get me passed.
Windows on the other hand requires you to do all sorts of arcane shit if you want to do anything at all outside of checking boxes in a shitty GUI to enable/disable features.
“Beaches that allow X” sounds like some dystopian shit, where people are regulating and controlling what you can and cannot bring into some semi-obscure public place.
Any beach I go to is literally a spot by the water you walk to if you want to hang out and cool down. I can understand regulations if we’re talking about some inner-city “beach”, but luckily most beaches is the world are places you can be pretty alone.
I would think that, since it’s been recognised that these messages are costing a lot of energy (== money) to process, companies would at some point add a simple <if input == “thanks”> type filter to catch a solid portion of them. Why haven’t they?
I’ll add to this that Europe has about 1.6 times the population of the US. This means that Europe has roughly one school shooting for every 12 incidents in the US when corrected for population.
