  • I mean, you're not wrong, but it's also a legal term. If you pay someone money for something, they can always pay you back. That's not an irreparable harm.

    If (for example) you wanted to say something about someone but you have an NDA that's in dispute, you could be prevented from saying anything until that's settled because you can't un-say something the same way

  • No, if you find a flight you like and, instead of putting your credit card information right there, you drive to the airport, pay for parking, wait in line at the ticket counter, tell the agent you want to buy that itinerary you just found online, argue with them when they say they can't/won't so it because it's freaking Frontier, pay for your ticket, walk 10 minutes back to your car in the parking ramp, pay for your hour of parking, and drive home.

    Probably not worth it for a single person/purchase, but if it's charged per person, per direction (I think it is but not sure) and you're paying for your whole family it may be worth it.

  • That's only really done now for nonrevenue (employee) travel and changes in existing itineraries (trying to get an earlier flight, getting rebooked to a full flight because you missed your connection and that's the next one, etc)

    Some flights during certain seasons (spring break in Florida, for example) are so full that you hardly stand a chance of getting on, and of course that's the airlines' fault

  • Well, half of it is a "carrier interface charge" - basically, you're paying to buy online. Fees are taxed differently, but they have to be optional. If you buy at an airport, they don't charge it.

    That's Frontier for ya. The Ryanair of the US

  • This sounds like the work of a developer. If you want to take a plot of land and sell it for $2x/m², it's entirely possible... But it may take $3x/m² worth of improvements if you're not careful.

    Frankly, if you have to ask these kinds of questions Lemmy is not the place to get the answers. You can get a college degree in this kind of thing, and it seems like you'd need to start at the very basic level.

  • That's a basic economics thing that doesn't have an easy answer. But basically, at lower prices, people generally demand a higher quantity of something. Raise the price, and people start to think twice and consider other options. Supply is the opposite: at a higher price, more of a product will be produced (or in the case of pre-owned land, landowners are more likely to cash out). At lower prices, people won't bother.

    So in the case of land, price is affected by what people want, but also what's available. If there is a lot of open space and that's what everyone wants, groovy! But if people want limited amounts of tree land, prices are going to skyrocket for that and people will look at open land as an alternative.

  • You're putting your priority of beauty on others, who seem to prioritize function if they do hobby farming (in which case, trees could get in the way of whatever they're trying to do with the land)

    Neither preference is wrong. In theory prices should reflect supply and demand.

    bragging with Windows supremacy

    I don't think that's as common as you think it is. Most Windows users see Windows as part of the computer, a tool to get the job done. As a DIY'er (basically a tool normie) I don't brag about the supremacy of my Kobalt tools, I just drill the damn hole

  • Ditto. I'd have so few friends, not to mention my wife and daughter (no males in the house other than me) so things would be pretty confusingly lonely, pretty quick!

    At least OP was pretty clear that all people of the opposite sex were to have disappeared so I can still have my dog.

  • I'm not sure the cost to make vs value is really the best measurement, within reason. At the end of the day society gets a tool to measure a unit of wealth to easily transfer, and there is value in having that.

    That said! Yeah. The US had a half-penny until 1857. I can look at an inflation calculator that only goes back to 1913, and half a penny then was worth 16¢ today. We don't need the penny anymore.
