Context: A Spirit Airlines fan has launched Spirit 2.0, a crowdsourcing effort to buy the airline: 'The people can own it'

Disclosure: I contributed to this effort. I think it's a noble one and wish for their success.

Missed opportunity to somehow get the "People Express" trademark

After POTA, Ozine Events Goes Dark 📵

Local artist merchants reported to Kuhaku Media that they have lost all communication with prominent Philippine convention organizer Ozine Events this October.

Kuhaku Media independently verified these claims, discovering that official media relations channels for Ozine were also unreachable due to an email domain expiration.

According to the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) database, the Ozine Events web domain, hosted via GoDaddy, officially expired on Sept. 3.

The ongoing radio silence has sparked growing anxiety within the local artist community, following the abrupt suspension of the organizer's Idol Fest event in September.

Is this due to lacking underlying OpenMaps data?

Yes. If Comaps is your primary navigation app, I recommend also contributing missing locations in Openstreetmap itself. I typically add locations I go to if there isn't one yet (after using a secondary navigation app). Comaps is pretty awesome and I use it whenever I don't need live traffic.

    ...if it is a time-bound prohibition, maybe in the order of a few weeks, so society can rethink about their consumption habits.

    Indefinite prohibition, of the kind that was amended in the US constitution, denies the human desire to consume alcohol and pretend it can be legislated away. A cursory reading of the Wikipedia article on the capital-P Prohibition showed lasting effects in alcohol consumption (I guess, good in the sense that there's changes in domestic abuse patterns, for example?) and organized crime (bad, with Al Capone and people like him)

    I was born on 1993-09-10 (not in the US).

    Imagine enjoying your eighth birthday party, then less than 48 hours later, you saw the North Tower collapse through live TV.

    Imagine visiting the Kennedy Space Center in December 2002 and you saw Columbia sitting on the launch pad.

    Imagine looking forward to your 32nd birthday, then on the day itself, the internet is abuzz because Charlie Kirk was shot.

  • I follow F1. No matter how the regulations are changed year after year, teams find a way to exploit loopholes so that they may win the championship.

    Corruption is like that. It's a human character flaw. More importantly, it's not unique to Filipinos. It can be restrained.

    It's no different from Eastern Bloc propaganda imo. Even more annoying in some respects because its the people themselves spreading it and not the government. You think things are in the pits there in 2025? It was way worse before 2005.

    I was a doomer way before the current crop of doomers are active. Moved from the Philippines to the US. On my first visit after moving (almost two years after I left), the improvements are very noticeable. It was a reality check for me to stop dooming about the country.

    The Philippines still has a lot of problems, but we must suck it up and make it better in a slow and sure way. But yes, if you want a chance to get rich quick, you're free to work abroad and/or migrate there.

    AM: DZMM mainly because of its iconic theme

    FM: 96.3 Easy Rock Manila, 96.3 WRocK Cebu, 97.9 Home Radio - I like easy listening stations

    Musopen: Not a Filipino station, but it's public domain classical music. We should promote open music more

    Used to listen to 99.5 Play FM. I don't know what good Top 40 stations are still there after that station stopped the format
