Dang, so it’s not time to go through his clothes looking for loose change yet?

My inlaws are heading on a cruise to Ireland that way. Mind you, they aren’t afraid of flying. They just love cruising.  :-)

I am serious.  And don’t call me Shirley.

For real, but it’s a bigger problem for the very smallest passengers. Lap babies in particular. I’m very relieved it seems the unrestrained baby wasn’t severely injured. (Fortunately, babies are pretty resilient, and if they don’t suffer serious injuries, they have remarkable healing abilities compared to adults.) …

*gleefully rubs hands in anticipation*

Epic!  :-)

I used to know a guy who worked for USA and told me about that.  It was interesting.

Yeah, it’s not the descent itself, it’s that because the masks just dropped, I think most passengers wouldn’t understand that it’s a controlled descent and would think the plane’s about to crash. A lot of people think that mask has enough oxygen to keep you alive for the whole flight, and that’s not at all true; it’s…

Hopefully it’s at least secure. Has anyone asked the Lockpicking Lawyer, yet?  ;-)

Vans are AWESOME.  Panel vans, conversion vans, minivans....  Vans are great. As far as trades not using pickup trucks, the main exception I can think of for that is landscapers and lawncare providers. A lot of them use pickup trucks, and use them hard. But then, their work happens out in the elements, so getting…

An owner called it “mostly waterproof,”

Yeah, this is Jalopnik, so that’s important. Very few clues given. The scratched paint at least rules out a Cybertruck. :-P

I’d love to see it posted to AITA just to see the blistering replies. :-D But here’s the thing: if his neighbor is as well-heeled as he thinks, he’s gonna lose that lawsuit, because they’ll be able to afford competent defense. They may even countersue for legal fees. And making it that public may bring it to the attent…

Does Axiom have the capacity to develop two suits simultaneously?

They depressurize the airlock before they open the hatch, and they do not exhaust it to space. Probably some small amount of air is indeed lost (no pump is perfect) but it’s probably close to what they’re leaking anyway.

It’s surprisingly expensive to build more of something last built twenty years or more ago; parts obsolescence means you do a lot of redesign anyway. And that obsolescence isn’t because things are bad; it’s just that their makers have moved on to other things. If it’s a part that only had one customer, of course they…

Oh yes, they definitely know whether it was an ASAT test or not.  They may not tell the public; that would be up to the White House to decide, most likely.

Most certainly. Xitter, pronounced with an “sh”. Although, in my mind I like to be fancy with that and go with “zhitter”, so it sounds as insufferably arrogant as its CEO. :-)

I’m totally going to bring this up the next time I’m talking to someone who says that California has legalized theft. I’m going to ask if they think they should be more like Texas, in the quite reasonable confidence they have no idea that Texas has an even higher threshold.  :-)

Don’t blame AI for people not flying spaceships. Blame the enormous cost of launching stuff into space combined with the fact we still don’t know how to survive longterm in space without serious adverse health risks. Oh, and of course the fact we don’t really have anywhere to go right now.  I mean, I’m a massive space…
