    No time spent creating new branches for new features.
    No time spent switching between branches to address feedback.
I'm sorry but these are non-issues with git. The approach you've outlined makes collaboration on features impossible. Cherry-picking and rebasing does not scale for either teams, or lots of parallel workstreams.

Really? I mean, I get you want to recommend an infrastructure as code tool, but I really wouldn't consider it in the category of "[features] which you almost never need to consider alternatives."

The screams during turbulence are one of my highlights when flying. Doesn't happen very often these days unfortunately... 20 years ago flying used to be like going on a theme park ride.

The purpose of the battery isn’t to power the entire state for 15 minutes.

It can respond to market demand within milliseconds, and after coming online was responsible for dropping the average wholesale price of electricity by 90%.

> Eight years ago Japanese tourism was near 100% domestic.

Nope, calling bull on this. Not by a long shot. Japan has been a major international tourist destination, particularly in the winter for at least 20 years.

I asked donuts (gTLD owner of .family) whether my domain renewal could be reduced (from $385 per year to something more reasonable for a genealogy hobby). This was their response.

Maybe it’s not worth reading too much into the “we can’t change the renewal cost” line.

Hi Nick,

Unfortunately, we can't change the renewal cost for santamaria.family

If we ever start to change renewals, I will be sure to reach out to help.

Sorry about that.

I have a late model VW Tiguan and it has a great design with physical controls + large capacitive touch screen.

No critical driving functions are controlled by the touch screen.

I think this is a very usable approach.
