I think they’ve been trying to improve the Chicago <--> Detroit route. Not up to Acela standards (that even the Acela falls short of frequently), but trying to slowly get it safe for ~115mph travel.

I doubt Fancy Kristen flies commercial.

Logan was doing a program like that based on some sort of profiling/personality screening/alternate screening where shifted people who were deemed low risk into the pre-check lines at busy times.

It’s a decent option in the Northeast Corridor, but the rest of nation it’s less than ideal. It might not be painful, but it’s likely to be slow and/or infrequent.

That sort of stuff I don’t consider especially private. It seems unclear how it would bite me (unless I’m doing something criminal, in which case I should get busted). I’d be much more wary about handing over DNA or social media credentials or something like that, since that reveals a lot more.

Shouldn’t you have Global Entry/Nexus/Pre-check or something? If you are travelling frequently without some sort of trusted traveler program you are doing something wrong (or I guess are really untrustworthy and got rejected?)

Hmm, I’d buy the base game for $5, but it’s listed as unavailable.

The Secret Service is also responsible for protecting his family and others on the trip. They are not going to trust the president of the United States to a normal armored limo. The presidential limos are not just uparmored Cadillacs, they are heavily armored trucks designed to look like limos. The doors are 8" thick,…

Trump has armored limos. We fly them out (at great expense) for him to use. I doubt the Secret Service will even let him ride in these. These are for his family/hangers on.

We have executed soldiers for cowardice in the past, though there has only been one since the Civil War: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Slovik

Fuel consumption per mile is absolutely a measure of efficiency (and thus mpg).

He never should have crossed Hoover...

Not that I can think of. Occasionally he vomits out some take that contains a glint of something he probably heard from someone who had some idea what they are talking about, but it’s immediately clear he didn’t actually understand and so has warped it into some hopelessly simplistic mangling of the actual idea.   

Doesn’t change your point any, but modern studies show icing doesn’t actually work: Why icing a sprain doesn’t help, and could slow recovery

Yet...

And now:

The ocean is big. People aren’t likely to see this stuff, but that doesn’t mean it’s not damaging or entering the food chain.

Fighter pilots generally don’t take that many negative G’s. IIRC Even -2 can be rough for any sustained amount of time. They can take up to 9 positive Gs, but most things I see talk about the negative limit being around 3 or 4. They also wear g-suits and train to withstand those loads. If your numbers are right, than…

I’d hope the “spokes” are designed to push out their contents as they turn and flex, otherwise these will just get filled with snow/mud/dirt/etc.
