    It is, but after spending like 5 hours arguing with different customer service reps about it I decided that it wasn't worth my time. The company went out of business later anyways.

    So the flight was scheduled for 12:00. They kept announcing that it was delayed to 1:00, 2:00, and then at 2:55 they stopped announcing new delays. The flight ended up boarding at 3:30, but because they didn't announce the delay every customer service rep said that I wasn't entitled to compensation.

    We have something similar in Canada. One of the budget airlines screwed us out of it by not declaring the delays past 2 hours 55 minutes. The flight ended up being delayed by 4 hours, but when I went for my refund they pulled out the declared delay.

    I've tried what popOS had around 6 months ago, and it wasn't what I wanted. I needed to manually launch apps with the GPU. I want it to work like it does in windows where when the igpu gets too much load it dynamically switches to the dgpu.

    I lived in one for close to a decade. Yeah they are kinda shitty and major are in disrepair, but I think my sentiment about needing fast and cheap housing still holds. In Canada at least, our rate of population growth has outpaced our rate of new housing construction for years. We need a major course correction to fix this crisis.

    I was recently on a group hike with a university club, and an Austrian exchange student kept talking about how good life in Austria is. He attends university for free, lives in a vibrant city with great public transit, and with affordable housing.

    My city has unaffordable housing, shit transit, and an inept local government. We are staking our future on oil prices constantly going up. The last time oil prices dipped was catastrophic, with mass layoffs and unemployment in nearly every sector.

    On top of this we are being hit extra hard by climate change. Last summer I couldn't go outside because of wildfire smoke, and this year is going to be even worse. Every year there's less and less water, to the point where year round drought seems like an inevitability. Our politicians are climate change deniers. The people who elect them couldn't care less, and cry about any measures taken to mitigate it's effects.

    I don't want to be stuck paying $2000 a month for a studio apartment as the climate around me slowly degrades, and my politicians try their best to turn us into America.

    A sizeable fraction of the students I've talked to about this has or is playing around with the idea of leaving. Austria is just the first country that came to mind, but I would take almost any EU country if the opportunity was offered.

    I'm not a vegan, and in fact I really enjoy eating meat, but Ill bite. I think that the stuff about plants and fungi suffering is nonsense. What you are describing is more akin to dominos falling over. It's a complex chain reaction that involves no thought at all. A plant doesn't have a central nervous system, and thus by definition cannot suffer.

    Another issue with your argument is the last type of vegan, the one that wants to eliminate death. Every vegan that I know wants to eliminate sentient death, not just death overall. None of the vegans I personally know or have talked to want to just blindly eliminate death. Our argument as meat eaters is that most animals are low enough on the sentience totem pole that we can eat them without problems. A vegans argument is that no part of the sentience totem pole is low enough to eat. Your main premise comes from a mischaracterization of veganism.

    I was really into skiing when I was younger, and would go every weekend with my buddy and his dad. I tried to outrun them, fell, and tumbled. My shoulder was very badly sprained, and I couldn't use it for like a month. Now from time to time it flares up again, and the pain comes back for a few hours. The shoulder is also much easier to sprain now, every time I fall it's out of commission for weeks. I went to my doctor, who told me that nothing is broken and there's nothing he can do about it.

What are some things that I should do in order to make his first trip a little better?
