Aren’t bigger than phone electronics needed to be pulled out to separate trays in US as it is? Haven’t flown to US for almost a decade.

Ah but this is counter to the narrative that we shouldn’t be inconvenienced.

I fly a lot for my job, these changes aren’t a problem at all. Food should never really be buried in bags, and in the past I used to pull my tablet from the bag until told it wasn’t necessary, to me these changes aren’t bad at all. If anything it’s very European-style, I had to pull food and electronics when leaving…

Sure, that New York to LA “bullett” train is going to be a ranging success. Even at an average of 200 mph, and no stops, that’s going to be a 27 hour trip. And factor in stops, and crew changes, and it pushes 30. Even if everyone has to be strip searched, flying is still faster.

I cannot believe this right now; an absolute gentleman of the sport and a huge inspiration to myself to get in to motorcycle racing. RIP & deepest condolences to his family, fiance, and millions of friends & fans across the world.

Or he’s hanging out with his bro who brought his wife along. I’d say being a good friend.

You can get laid in any car. Just aim lower.

Came here for cockpit pictures, felt cheated.

When my wife and I were at pikes peak a few years back we ran into the Top Gear USA crew shooting there with that insane Bisimoto Odyssey Rutledge was driving. If you’re going to take a minivan up there, it may as well have a thousand horsepower.

And what does Bernie think about this?

Looks like the Russians are innocent.

Huh, these metallurgy labs have been used in aircraft accident investigations forever. I’m surprised ECR does this in house instead of contracting to a company like EAG.

Streetcars are not a publicity stunt. They can be effective and very easy to use mass transit that typically have higher new ridership points than buses.

Airlines are going to fight it - they don’t want hundreds of lithium ion batteries in their cargo holds, nor do they want the liability of valuable electronics in checked bags.
