I had it in both feet. And it was so terrible, I took to calling it plantar fascism. The worst. Kettlebell workouts twice a week gave me relief in under two months. When you do it barefoot, you grab the ground with your toes as you sling the bell around. And strengthen support muscles too. It works.

And each prompt submitted to an LLM further interpellates the user to this structural relation.

We're witnessing the desire to move beyond the transition from direct compulsion to mute compulsion to the liberation of capital accumulation from labor altogether. This decidedly is not a liberation of human labor.

Not just me. The pilot came on to say, "I've been flying for 42 years, and that's the roughest I've had."

First time in a LONG time I've heard glass breaking in the galley.

The statement doesn’t even really address the resolution on attacks on education. Completely ineffectual.

Were the early Humanities Computing folks in the late 60s and 70s more likely to be appointed in linguistics departments rather than InfoSci?

Baggage in the main cabin doesn’t help that. You can see it in CRJs that require gate checking carryons. Boarding and deboarding are always much faster.

Some airlines chase raw passenger numbers, others chase high yield passengers. Either would be better by making on time arrival the primary objective.

All of it is from the attempt to squeeze as much as possible out of the flying public, and puts enormous stress on gate agents, cleaning crews, FAs, and pilots.

Understaffed ground crews, operational and maintenance delays, cascading delays, etc were all a part of it before the ATC shortages and weather problems.

This Fall has been terrible, even before the shut down. On-time arrival is the stat that I care about the most, especially as airlines have encouraged shorter and shorter layovers as the norm.

They’re also freeing space below for cargo. Which isn’t an excuse, but part or discouraging people from checking bags.
