Couldn’t agree more. I’m also cool with “God Save the Queen” because it’s so damn short.

Who says I'm not? Just sharing one opinion among many.

:-D

Here’s the thing: I just don’t care. Has nothing to do with being weak and fragile, I think it’s just an unnecessary waste of time. Who cares where you’re from? All the drivers “live” in Monaco anyway...

How ‘bout we also stop with the national anthems? More tired of the jingoism than I am about the display of one cool technology (modern aircraft) in the presence of another (F1 cars).

Yes! And as the TTAPS report showed, even a “local” nuclear war could have devastating worldwide consequences. Perhaps extinction-level.

Agreed! There’s an enormous difference between full annihilation of the human race - which is the natural outcome of most nuclear war scenarios - and environmental collapse leading to the deaths of potentially billions. And I’m not being glib. It’s different to wipe from the face of the Universe the only species that…

HEY! The rest is garbage, but camping in the left lane should be a capital crime.

Well, a bit, in that the risk of death is likely less due to the glacial speeds, but that’s not to say hypermiling in traffic is really safe, either. A car going 25 mph in a place where everyone else is going 45 or more can be a huge problem that can lead to wrecks.

I mean, the point is still valid because the second-highest viewership in Netflix isn’t anything like the second-highest viewership in primetime in 1980. But the bigger point is, who cares as long as they’re funny?

Do you think that most people outside of the comedy movie nerd scene knew who Buck Henry was in 1975?

Yep. SNL is a sketch comedy show. It should be graded on how good a sketch comedy show it is.

Thank you!

Firsthand experience, this will change your life. Not very much, but definitely for the better.

Where are the instructions for my Compaq LTE/20?

The USPS is by far the most popular government/quasi government agency.

Can this be added to the list of stuff we could do with Elon's money? Isn't he still asking for that list?

Agreed. Nothing except an aircraft D-check would have caught this.

Yes, well, that’s also why we have the safest air traffic system in the world. Being super-paranoid and completely inflexible even when it’s not clear that there’s a real problem (or conversely, that there’s a real benefit to following a “standard.”).

Yeah, it’s only a certain subset of flights to slot-controlled airports. That’s a tiny proportion of the world’s air travel. Not to mention that fully half of that 2.4% is from rich assholes on private jets.
