Airlines advertise that you can use the tray for laptops, advertise power supplies and wifi for said laptops. Every flight has an announcement that it is OK to take out laptops at 10,000 feet. So yes, the implication is that they are selling you a ticket which they advertise as giving you access to these amenities.

Interesting. How come there are regulatory limits on the seat bottom, but not limits on how close the headrest can be to the face of the person behind?

You could make an economy seat that does it too. Instead of the back going back, the head rest would stay in position and the bottom seat would move forward. The person reclining would lose leg room, not the person behind. That would at least be fair.

My laptop agrees with your knees. 

The main argument is you pay for a seat with space to use a laptop or have a drink on the tray. If someone reclines to within 6 inches of your face and you can’t open your laptop or use the tray, then you feel like they are taking away the space you paid to use.

If you are in the industry, why not develop a reclining seat that doesn’t travel backwards. If lazyboy can do it, I’m sure you can. That way, the person is free to recline at the expense of their own leg room; however, they do not occupy the space other passengers pay for.

Reclining the seat is equivalent to a healthy person not offering their seat on the bus/subway to a pregnant woman or physically challenged individual. Like sitting there watching a one legged man try to balance on a subway while not being able to simultaneously hold his crutches and the bar above and not offering…

Good to know.

I knew a guy in highschool who told the class his father breed dogs for a living. Then, for some inexplicable reason, he explain how they got the...material...to do it artificially.

The engineering on that gif checks out.

Cans? That’s a noob move. I buy by the gallon. You can put in spray bottles or just dunk the rusty object into it. 

Since you mentioned you drive a Tesla, do you see this performance drop in daily driving? For instance, if you pushed it hard on the way to work, would you not have as much power in the evening commute?

You can get a full ton 2020 silverado for $36K. No crew cab, but that is the point. If they could offer a 2 door Gladiator for $7K less, it would be much more appealing.

I agree everyone was happy when it was released. I was happy when they finished it. What I was getting at was that people lost their appetite for the rest of DBZA because they thought it would take 6 months-1 year between episodes.

Part of me still believes somebody at Toei watched DBZA, because of the episode of DBS where Goku instant transmissions all over the place and into Bulma’s bedroom. That had to be inspired by TFS.

Yeah, I’m glad they finished the cell saga. I’m glad they started the series in the first place. However, taking over a year to release the final episode kinda killed it. They can say the series is past its prime, which is probably true, but there needs to be some reckoning with the fact all of the enthusiasm was lost…

I was waiting for you to cover the story of the UAW making up a union and requiring its non-union employees, i.e. lawyers and others who don’t typically join unions, to contribute to it. Then it turned out they just took the money and put it in the UAW pot.

Who among us hasn’t wanted to swill Jim Beam from a car battery?

I do the opposite. If I am driving a BMW or Merc, I figure everyone is going ot think I am a jerk anyway, so I drive like one. If I am in another car or SUV, I drive much better.
