The plane is designed for a certain amount of passenger weight. Charging more doesn’t change the mechanics of that problem.

Right-to-left is far less a problem than front-to-back.  Put the sumo squad at the tail and the plane will be tilted nose up.

All that is required is to completely uproot every aspect of American society as it is an all-connected mess.

It looks like the SPAC investors pulled their money out of the SPAC once they got a look at the Livewire books.

I suspect a lot of senior pilots retired in the last couple of years and they haven’t been able to find replacements - hence the Frontier move to entice people into pilot training.

The more obnoxious advertising is animated LED billboards on highways - not only generating interfering amounts of light, but simply being obnoxious and by their nature distracting. Because they know a driver will be by them in a few seconds, they have to cycle through quickly and, in order to see them any driver has…

I imagine a cube-sat display giving Putin a personalized light show - raised finger, Ukraine flag, and displaying death counts of Russian troops and their names on a continuous basis - keeping in mind just how long nights are in the Russian winter.

Not nearly as interesting as when several Saint Louis Arch attraction boats happened to come loose from their moorings and end up sinking just when a big casino was looking for a location right where they were parked. Purely coincidental.

TIL that posting claims without sources is good enough for you.

For you to have personal knowledge about negative press about the transistor, as introduced to the world at Bell Labs at the end of 1947, you’d be around 100 years old.

They couldn’t make a DCT system work right, so I would not expect a great appreciation for even more sophisticated technology.

Will snacks be provided?

The odds of being hit by a hummer are far less than being hit by a commercial truck.

From a long time review of collisions between various vehicles there was one that really stood out. The General Electric brand. I don’t recall a single fatality of a GE driver.

Up-front payment for stand-by seating?
