I tried this myself, picking a time a few weeks in the future (round trip April 15th to 22nd). Round trip as I'm assuming you'll want to go there and come home.

All of the following info is for ATL to Washington-Area airports (BWI, DCA, IAD). Amtrak is for Atlanta to Washington Union Station

Delta (20+ nonstop a day every 30min or so, ~2hrs flight time):

- ~$244->$304 Main

- ~$444->$504 Comfort+

- ~$769-$974 First

Amtrak (11:29PM->1:47PM, 14h18m):

- $356 Coach

- $1107 Private Room (Roomette)

I'm sure that a more accurate analysis would include a spread of days.

In general, this means that with the train you'd increase your travel time by ~26 hours round trip (over a whole day) while also paying ~$112 more.

(Note that the Amtrak website prices each leg independently while Delta prices round trip, I made sure to go all the way to the cart to gather the end pricing)

I was curious so I also did a trip much sooner (March 30th to April 6th):

Delta:

- $616-$665 Main

- $785-$800 Comfort Plus

- $1065 First (they were all priced the same)

Amtrak:

- $517 Main

- $1369 Private Room (Roomette)

So for a much sooner trip you do save ~$100 for the tradeoff of ~26 hours more time spent.

It's also worth noting that this route's travel occurs primarily at night, in the dark. This means both trying to sleep on a train as well as not being able to see much outside as it'll be dark most of the ride.

Given that Airport security wasn't implemented until after (and because of) 9/11, how would you have passed through security with a burrito before 9/11?

`lms chat` has existed, `lms daemon up` / "llmster" is the new command.

The steps without using Amazon One were

* open the amazon app

* open the checkout thing

* click the QR code button

* click the amazon QR code

* Scan it

* Open Apple Wallet

* Pay

I hope that they will at least add the amazon QR code to apple wallet to make payment faster in store. That or something to make payment (with Amazon Prime link) as fast as with Amazon One even while not continuing Amazon One itself.

I wonder if they could use a NFC tag or something to quickly open the amazon app on your phone to pay or something?

I used to use neverssl, but it's very different for .org and .com and I kept forgetting which was which.

This post reminded me to make a siri shortcut that just opens safari to http://captive.apple.com to trigger the captive portal.

This may also be something fun for late-college-students to do in order to brush up on their skills and to dive deep into tech that they may use in the future.

Don't forget Qobuz: https://www.qobuz.com/us-en/shop

They not only have streaming plans but also let you buy the music files directly.

Unsure how I feel about TechCrunch just summarizing another source's article like this.

> The author of this application is not actively developing any new major features (only small fixes) > New releases are published regularly depending on the contributions made by the community > Pull requests for new features and bug fixes are accepted as long as the guidelines are followed

So it's more that no new features will be added by the main dev however it is still maintained. Other software like this exists (Miniflux for example) and they work well.

A Project doesn't need a constant influx of new features to be useful or even maintained.

EDIT: Turns out it's made by the miniflux dev which I respect.
