What if all seats were fixed in a slightly-reclined position. More comfortable than their current regular position, but with each seat slightly reclined the space between them is all still the same so no loss of legroom or personal space.

It’s a viable option. A $5 drink might even do the trick... 

Yeah, Spirit sucks! But they are making money and people still fly them, so good for them I guess.

Yeah, it’s not a strategy I’d employ during an epidemic of any kind... the air nozzle idea is a good one!

Seat pitches have gotten much tighter over the years as airlines try to fit more people on a plane. If they tighten up the space between the back of one seat and the front of another by even an inch, that gives them enough room to put an entire extra row of seats in. So then they did an inch and a half, then two…

This is a good idea! Solves both problems - person can recline without encroaching on someone else’s personal space. 

Ugh, I am SO happy to live in an era where public smoking is banned. When I was a kid my parents both smoked so whenever we went out to eat we’d sit in the smoking section, which in some places was its own room. It was like dining inside an ashtray.

Faking a couple of good, wet sneezes can help, too. 

I often fly Southwest and still find them to be one of the best for leg room in general, so as a 6' 4" person I’m generally comfortable regardless of where I end up. But I also like that I have a decent chance at grabbing an exit row seat if I get myself into the A boarding group. Sometimes it works out, sometimes…

“A few bucks” is usually at least $50 per flight, sometimes more depending on the airline. Double that if you want to be able to sit with your spouse/partner/etc. for the flights as well.

Your simple “a few extra bucks” option usually doesn’t exist. And if it does, it’s not “a few extra bucks”, but is often $50-100 more per flight depending on the airline.

There is no question that the giant manbaby is acting like a tool. He should be ashamed of himself.

It looks like something the Griswold family would rent for a Safari Vacation. 

As fun as that sounds, that would just turn into a series with one or two viable competitors with virtually unlimited budgets who can just outspend everybody else. New entrants would be deterred by the cost, lower-budget teams would never have a shot at winning.

Excellent history on the paint scheme and how it ties into America’s diplomatic strategy (or at least, how it used to...)

I agree that for any kind of towing/hauling, a BEV probably isn’t going to cut it unless there’s some kind of ridiculous step forward in storage capacity and/or charge time. I always thought using an ICE as a giant generator (like diesel-electric locomotives have been doing for nearly 100 years) would be the way to go…

I’m glad they’re planning to offer a battery-electric version instead of only hydrogen fuel cell, because I still firmly believe hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are a useless dead end.

They’re out there, they just don’t usually play up the “water displacement” aspect as much as WD-40 does. For a lot of the uses of WD-40, you could use something else instead like PB B’laster, CRC Power Lube, LPS, Kroil, Miracle Lube, Break Away, Deep Creep.... there are probably dozens, but very few that have the…

Just by reading the headline, I could smell WD-40. So distinctive.
