Yeah. But that’s the whole point: is it fairer to be out of the country for both or for one? And if you’re going to all be travelling, might you not just as well go somewhere nice?

Not saying you’re the asshole (quite the opposite), I’m just saying your sister isn’t necessarily either for wanting you there even though it’s expensive.

Maybe there’s a way to make the trip cheaper: maybe going alone or be there for the ceremony while skipping everything else?

I feel like this is easier said than done. Especially if one partner has their family and friends abroad/far away.

If half the group needs to travel anyway, wouldn’t a half way point be much fairer to all? Plus since the internet, and especially since COVID, it’s been much easier and more common to maintain close long distance friendships, so maybe no one lives nearby?

Feels like we’re missing context on where and why the wedding is where it is, otherwise there will be plenty of arguments on which side/who has to travel.

Agreed, I use AI for coding the way I used to use Stack Overflow:

Find me code examples, explain an error or give me some summaries of how something should work but then I go confirm that or test it separately!

I never trusted Stack Overflow for anything more than pointing me in the right direction for what to research. Documentation links, snippets, blogs etc, that sort of stuff. As long as I tell the AI to give me a reference, about 60-70% of the time I’ll get something I can actually use to confirm the code it gave me or get an answer for my question. At best what it does is save me googling time.

Hmm. Well, most chemical desiccants would probably cause moderate to severe damage when breathed in, and with a bit of suspense of disbelief could explain developmental issues…

I don’t have hard evidence for this (might try and find some at some point though), but I feel like outages have become progressively more common in the last 4-5ish years.

Feels like every time the AI tools “get better” there’s an increase and no one gives a shit. Like, what the fuck? When did stability and reliability become so irrelevant to people?

Hell, GitHub might as well just close up shop with the amount of outages it’s had recently! I get that the bubble is a bubble but how has AI not cost companies enough in outages to show it’s a waste???

Naaaaa, Na Na, Nanana Naaaaaaa, Nanana Naaaaaaa, Naaa Naaa…

From my experience public transport was super hard to find a good solution too. I ended up going with Citymapper which works amazingly well. It’s a British company from London but unfortunately uses Google Maps API I believe, so not truly independent.

Haven’t found anything even close to a replacement though.

In my experience Tefal is a good choice. Last long (my pan is at least 6 years old now and working perfectly), stays stable (handle didn’t get wobbly much, just had to tighten a screw once), good quality and weight to it.

I’m happy enough to recommend those along!

Yikes, you just know those are stored in a file called passwords-donotsteal.txt…
