The “sunken cost fallacy” (sorry for the pun) says the best outcome for the environment is to recycle it now. The damage of building it has been done, but decades of this monstrosity operating would likely be exponentially worse for the environment. It’s also not likecruises serve any real useful purpose 

Being stuck on a gigantic incubator with people who actively lie about being sick because they paid for a cruise and by God they’re going no matter what? Shit, I’m all about it. Maybe while I’m on the ship it can lose power for a few days or have propulsion and sewage problems. Hell, let’s go whole hog and throw some…

You can have 1 source of potable water all to yourself, friend. I don’t like to give my immune system that much of a workout, if I can avoid it.

If there's one thing more wasteful than a cruise ship, it's a military ship. So let's not hurrah too hard quite yet. They're only scrapping it to get it out of the way. 

I also don’t understand cruises. It is like being locked into a retirement home and hotel at the same time. A hotel, but with a bunch of lousy activities to keep you from offing yourself from the boredom.  Plus, you can’t leave to get a drink elsewhere at a reasonable price.  

That’s sad. I can’t help but picture all the little Norwalk viruses that will never get a chance to make someone poop uncontrollably.

So them Asians wised up and thumped their noses on these floating petri dishes.

And now they’re going to space.  

For me it wouldn’t be the penny-pinching, it’d be the perfectionism.

Excellent! A chance to be pedantic about maritime transportation:

Catalina Island would be littered with them. 

I wonder if anyone has started tracking the number of injuries from people just thinking there is an active shooter and counting it along side number of actual active shooter injuries (via bullets or the stampede to escape). After the various events from the last 4th, I expect it will nearly double as people continue…

Also the Honda Clarity and it is truly a horrible system that goes through a horrendous about of wiper fluid while not cleaning the windshield, not to mention the very high cost to replace the wipers.

There are thousands of fenderless hot rods out here and I’ve never heard anyone say anything about getting hassled for it. Though I have heard that driving them in the rain is an amusing experience, especially if it’s a roadster. Turn at all while you’re moving and fountains of water come raining down on you from the…

I knew I was hanging on to this 1971 VW Beetle title for a reason.

I somehow found an unfinished (barely even started really) Meyers Manx SR kit in December and I'm planning on electrifying it. I doubt I'll get quite the same performance out of it, but the price felt way better than whatever these will go for...

What are they supposed to do? Be the 10th person standing around and gawking?

Nah. Americans have to get to work on time or be “pointed” and lose their jobs.

And removing the shoes! What a complete pain in the ass for millions of people because one dumbass tried it years ago. Some other dumbass tried to make explosive underwear, but TSA get upset when I try to take mine off and put them on the conveyor :)
