Yes. In fact I just filled a UK ETA for my 1 year old daughter, and after taking a photo of the MRZ the application asked me to confirm if she was born in 1924 or 2024 :-)

This is incredible. Almost feels like another world.

It should remain true.

You can bring food. You’re right about drinks though. Albeit it’s not very hard to find free water in airports.

Aren't all immigration "arrests" all "detentions", technically speaking (not that it makes any difference in reality - you're behind bars)? Aren't ICE prisons called "detention centers"?

Right but some code will stop compiling, no?

In my EU country, lots of first year students are kind of lost and are picking their major more or less at random (or very unprepared). Very low passing rates in first year are very common. It gets better in 3rd year and after.

I went to Japan (first time) a few months ago, and I was blown away by almost everything (including what you mention). It's just so different from the US in almost every way, but so nice overall (people, cities, transit). I loved it and want to go back already.

Personally that's all I'm asking for. Transparent pricing. It amazes me how far business will go to to just hide how much they want to charge me.

Recently in California, restaurant have been great at making their prices as difficult as possible to try to figure out.

> Resident keys essentially kill physical tokens.

Can you elaborate? I'm curious. Is there a storage problem?

I get you. AFAICT what's included for airlines is basically "get me from A to B".

There are usually ways to filter out by seat types, though, both on airlines websites and in places like Google flights. In my experience those are also pretty accurate.

For plane that's pretty unfair. If you don't get any ancillary fees, the price you see is almost exactly up to the cent what you pay.

Now if you get any extra, sure. But that's a different problem from Airbnb hiding 100% of the cost in mandatory cleaning fees.
