One incredibly irritating thing about Google Flights is it ignores and overrides my currency settings every time. And often my language settings too. At least on Safari. No combination of being logged into Google and selecting the currency in the sidebar will result in the currency, rather than the local currency, being set for next visit. That means every single use of Google flights involves going to the sidebar to set currency, either first or more likely upon searching.

> I also want the diversification that should I ever leave the company my whole life won’t be blown up because it was attached to the company.

Your company wants the opposite of this. Leaving both your job and your family is a lot tougher than only leaving your job.

I'd like to try a version of this outside of Ruby/Rails.

My original airpods became impossible to use after about 18 ~ 24 months, since they don't hold a charge for more than 10 minutes of playback.

What would be the usable lifetime on these? Can the batteries be replaced?

There was a time, not long ago, when a person could wonder about something that is well understood, try for an hour to get the answer, fail, and give up.

Now with every passing month the set of known things that are hard to find out gets smaller and smaller.

Or even the set of speculative things.

You want to know how a warp drive might work? There's a Youtube video for that.

You want to know what that Youtube video about how warp drive might work means? There's a Youtube video for that too.

I checked out a preview lesson and was surprised the audio quality was poor: bad mic, sirens in the background, etc

This is not to disparage the course or the business: it seems to work for the OP and her students.
