I'm too lazy to verify my hunch, but I'm guessing Texas is largely oil (exploiting natural resources), whereas California is largely intellectual output (tech, with some Hollywood and other sundry stuff), though California certainly does exploit its natural resources too (good farming conditions, some oil...).

It's a pretty standard bandwidth/latency tradeoff in my view: email is high bandwidth (it's in writing, you can re-read, etc.), whereas phone is low latency (several back-and-forth explanations can happen in seconds). Each has its place.
If social anxiety is a factor, that's a perfectly valid, but separate, issue.
Well, yeah
dude's brake cables are missing!
Yeah, though it looks like the cyan (which would be ~500nm) is actually false color UV image, judging by the same color scale as this https://www.nasa.gov/image-detail/5-3-2024_sdo_x1pt6_flare_131/
Awesome, thanks for the detailed answer!
Can we please not do this on Lemmy? Pun comment threads are just the wurst.
>2000 mile flight. Not crazy long but not short. (The state of Alaska was not involved, just the airline.)
I remember when phones used to be good.
Telemarketers have been around for a long, long time (Wikipedia claim "...the practice of contacting potential customers by telephone originated in the late 19th century.").
I personally recall a lot more telemarketing in the 90s, though I was a kid and just passed the phone to mom or dad. But that was also a time when caller ID was a luxury, and not everyone had answering machines.
In the US it depends on the airline. We went on a babymoon vacation when my partner was 30-something weeks and didn't need to provide any documentation (Alaska Airlines). She did run it by her providers first, but that wasn't an airline/TSA/FAA requirement.
Inconceivable! Some also look like Winston Churchill.
Sawyer filter inline with a camelback is awesome. I'd just fill up my camelback in a stream using a (clean) handkerchief to get the large debris out and then let the filter do the rest.
If you eat basically any form of meat, I have some bad news for you...
