Yeah you were lucky. I had to take public transport for the number 93 bus. Memories of queuing in the rain.
On the plus side, the bus was filled with pretty Japanese students going from their Hall of Residence to University.

Fair enough, I take your points too. Take it easy, enjoy the GOT, I enjoyed the philosophical wrangling
By that logic:
- Isolation is not freedom
- Freedom (includes¹) the ability to mingle with other societies. But whilst you are in the company of other societies, you are bound by their social constructs (rules,laws). So you aren't free, except of course you're free to leave. In which case, see (1).
¹ The use of the word "includes" implies other examples exist. What are they?
I don't think anything can.
I think the only way to experience true freedom would be to live, alone, on an unrecognised island, or in a space capsule.
The moment you encountered another person, you'd need to establish rules so you could co-exist in peace. No theft, for example.
At which point you aren't free.
Money buys liberty. Choices buy happiness. If you have more money, you have more choices available to you.
If money bought happiness there would be no sad rich people, but there are plenty of them.
What a shame. A lot of guys will have worked hard on this, perhaps going on a journey from initial enthusiasm at the novel gimmick to anxiety over real-world usability.
Sadly they're going to lose all their money or, even worse, find a way to pay back the VC.
So you could hava "Delta decent airlines" and "Delta fucking shit piss-stained seats threadbare aircraft $15 50ml Coke cans" then?
Totally different market sectors.
If it's all in writing you can't just force another company to do what you want. What you can do is wriggle, twist and delay until it becomes too expensive for the smaller company to continue to pursue.
However judges are more than well aware of this technique and will allow the plaintiff to accrue costs against Legal Aid (paid for by government).
So what usually happens:
- Small co files against large co for using same name
- Large co produces huge response document which is all piss and wind
- Small co says they can't afford the costs to answer each point
- Judge permits Small Co to use Legal Aid.
- Large co offers to settle. (E.g. you're a 3 person sandwich shop. They offer you £10m. No more work, no more hassle)
If Small Co is energetic, young and courageous, they may choose to fight to the death. But Legal Aid has a limit...
Presumably the pilot would have been ordered to do this. To what end? Why?
Yes China, we know you want Taiwan back. Either commit to solid action or don't. This bizarre behaviour just risks lives and expensive aircraft.
Seriously, what's the point?
Fun (albeit personal) fact: I'm a Brit who was sent to work in Texas in '96. I've still got a "Don't Mess With Texas" t- shirt from that time.
Probably what happened was that scraps were scraped off.

They've been playing the long game here...encroaching on your Drive storage for years
I'm wagering "Location Data" will be along soon. Then "number of passwords stored".
Next move will be "number of connected devices", even though that doesn't impact how much they have to store.
Finally they will get round to billing you on your number of individual body hairs (shaving in breach of T&Cs).
