You're right about the rest of the world. In Russia and especially in the Middle East. Not a lot of respect there for women.

I agree but they are so backward that it will have negative effects on international diplomacy. Do you honestly think someone like Putin will be able to live with himself if he negotiated as equals with a woman? That dude lives in the stone age. There are many world leaders who share the same view. Just because…

Probably just used to the bad attitude that comes with almost every employee at the Atlanta Airport.

It's impressive to be sure, but I would only be really concerned if they started building Ekranoplans. These mothers move at hundreds of kilometers per hour and would be all up on your shore before you knew it...

it IS the same since 2004 (minor changes)

Hey Toyota, here's an idea... How about you REDESIGN the Tacoma?

Thanks for the kind words of support! This was fun little video post, am I missing something here? I think you will find my other works very in depth and I have spent my whole lifetime dealing with these topics, so the fact that you call my work 3rd grade afternoon report level, and then substantiate that claim with…

You can't say that the driver was going slow in the left hand land without knowing her speed. Its entirely possible she was going the speed limit or above and he was still being a douche. Its happened to me. In the fast lane, going 85 and still being tailgated despite going faster than any of the other lanes, on top…

This has changed my life for the better.

This "He's rich, he can afford it/they're a company, they can afford it" mentality is what's fucking our world up. Employee theft, people stealing from others of means because they feel it's justified, as if the person with more than them somehow wronged them to acquire their wealth and status?

I am a line guy and fuel guy at my airport and the AE workers have absolutely no idea what they are doing. Yeah and I agree with the ratio statement. They just hired a bunch of new people who seriously suck as workers and human beings.

Most airlines make their planes taxi-in using only a single engine to save fuel. After that, at the gate, they're left to cool down for a period before being shut down or, if the plane has to leave again, they stay on idle to keep warm. That might explain having only one engine active at the gate.

I'm a ramp agent for American Eagle at KGRR (Gerald R. Ford International), and I can tell you this has a lot to do with the direction AE is taking their company. Basically, they are in the process of converting the company into a contractor, both for flight and ground handling operations (hence the name change to…

You're correct. The shift range of the 9HP is 9.79:1 (1st gear = 4.7:1, 9th = 0.48:1) whereas say the Accords CVT has an overall range of 6.53:1 (2.645:1 to 0.405:1). In this case since we have a large number of closely spaced ratios the reason why the shift range matters more than the "number" of ratios available…

Exactly. I don't want them working for me, I want them to make a life for themselves.
