I warn you now, this is going to have unfortunate consequences, just as switching to living in suburbia and driving everywhere did. When you lose the ability to write, you also lose some of your ability to think.

I'm not warning about the switch to AI in the hope of averting it, but to warn the few people who care enough to save themselves, or their kids. Learn to use AI. It's a powerful technology, and you should know how to use it. But also learn how to write.

Nauru Airlines previously held authority to operate flights to the USA, but did not launch those flights within the required 5-year window. Now it is applying again, with plans to move both passengers and cargo via Guam and Honolulu. #AvGeek pic.twitter.com/Y50hndaGcm

There's no disputing that taste buds are dulled at altitude but that's only one factor in why "airplane food tastes terrible." Second is that you’re limited in ingredients and usually reheating in a small space rather than making fresh foods (soups generally work well). Third is that… airlines frequently do not spend very much on food. There are really great meals in the sky.. but there are generally better galleys to prepare them in and crew working with better ingredients.
