Having query logging enabled on a production database is bonkers. The duplicate deletes are too but query logging is intended for troubleshooting only. It kills performance.

Car seats are not gate checked. Strollers can be since parents use them up until boarding but car seats are checked with the rest of your luggage.

Edit: I forgot to account for car seats that are part of a stroller... I imagine those would have to be gate checked as well. That's a special case though.

I don't know, I've never looked into it. Unless you can rent them at the airport though I don't see it being helpful.

Sometimes you can book a car service in advance that will provide one.

Regardless it's going to be extra cost and something extra to worry about when you arrive which isn't worth it to me personally.

You retrieve them from baggage claim just like everyone else, at least that's been my experience across multiple airlines.

Your didn't have a car seat with you? I can see getting away without a stroller if you use a carrier but no car seat isn't an option.

I almost never checked bags prior to having a child but there's been plenty of times where the airline checked my bags at the gate because the overheads were full so I quickly learned it's something you can't count on.

This is wild. I had no idea this was possible.

The article says they are playing and not acting out of aggression. I don't think Orcas are hunted much anymore, at least just not in large numbers, and the boats being targeted are small fishing vessels not whaling boats.

Sure we do but there's always something to be learned from a failure. This sub was unique in it's design and while that design ultimately failed, the knowledge gained from the failure could potentially lead to an improved design that maintains some of the benefits such as low cost and high occupancy.
