Nah, the image broke for some reason. Although there is irony in that.

For some reason I’m having trouble uploading the image again. I’ll see if I can find a permanent link.

Edit:

Here is a link to the meme I posted.

I actually posted the original meme that this image is based on. I think @awful.systems is having trouble with its images.

I think you mean “internet collapses”. And my answer to that question is:

Here is a link to a variation on the original meme I posted above. I think @awful.systems is having trouble storing and returning images in their posts.

So roll a d20?

What is it with Ricks?

There’s a bioinformatics website that has a course of problems to solve that slowly teaches you fundamental bioinformatics.

I’ve only done about 17 of the problems. They often end up being the following format:

• take in a text file
• process the data
• output the answer

Processing the data can be calculating probabilities, matrix manipulation, string manipulation, etc. It’s free to try, and you can use whatever language you’re familiar with. I think Python would have libraries that would help, but it’s up to you.

But maybe they were just really into torches. That’s a totally normal everyday thing that people do. Doesn’t everyone prefer the illumination of a naked flame compared to a modern flashlight?

You just don’t like people having hobbies. \s

I could only find a rumour that they were trying to circumvent it.

For the cost of my ticket, I expect my bag to get there when I do, no further changes required.

No. That was the previous deal, the deal has been altered. You now have to pay an extra fee to ensure the bag gets to its destination, otherwise you roll the dice.

This doesn’t mean I condone the industry habits.

You enabled industry habits. Its the same reason why tipping in restaurants still exists, because people pay it. If the majority of people decided not to, then the culture of tipping would die out.

technically subverted airport policy to specifically retrieve my bag. I appreciated him going out of his way, and possibly even carrying some risk for my benefit,

This is enabling. Nothing has fundamentally changed with the current system, and there has been no feedback to the industry. So it will remain as it is.

Would you be willing to pay $20 to make sure your bag made it to your destination?

Tipped em 20 bucks

So we’re paying an extra baggage fee now?

The airline was less than helpful, actively saying the bag was lost.

The young baggage worker is the airline. They are a representative of the company.
