I definitely don’t think that having to pay to go to the restroom is acceptable. That is a basic right and should not be treated like a privilege.

No, that’s not what I’m saying at all. What I am saying is that it makes sense for those passengers who are checking bags to pay a little extra as a checked bag both weighs more, therefore increasing the amount of fuel used by the plane, as well as requires more manpower on the airlines part to load and unload the…

I would argue that autonomous cars are much harder than autonomous planes simply because there are far fewer variables when it comes to planes versus cars. Planes are limited on where they can take off and land and there are far fewer other planes which need to be coordinated with to prevent collisions. Also, planes…

Agreed. Flight changes and cancellation fees are way too high. Forcing airlines to be upfront about their fees would allow people to comparison shop while keeping fees in place. If you know you will have 2 checked bags, you can easily factor that additional price into the base ticket price. That way people who do not…

Or instead of eliminating fees and raising the base ticket price, just force the airlines to be more upfront with the fees they charge. This would achieve the same results by allowing people to clearly see what they will be charged for when booking their flights and the airlines will still be forced to be competitive…

I agree that if you buy a ticket on a discount airline and then end up having to pay a ton in fees, you will probably pay more than if you went with a more expensive airline that has fewer fees. What I am saying is that it is good to have that cheaper airline as an option for the times when you can travel without…

Their prices are low if you do not check a bag and you don’t care about selecting your seat. If you do not use the services which charge a fee (which is doable), you can get a ticket for cheaper than you would on another airline which includes those services by default through higher ticket prices.

Both drivers are in the wrong here. I can’t watch the video (stupid work restrictions), but based on the GIF, it looks like the guy who did the brake checking is far enough ahead of the car in the right lane to get over to let the guy pass. He should have just let him pass and everything would have been fine. As for…

Having everyone pay an extra $25 so they can get a “free” checked bag means that checked bag is not free. It is $25. And those people who are not checking a bag are being charged a $25 fee for something they are not using. I would rather have a checked bag fee so that those who choose to check a bag are the ones…

We are on the same page when it comes to baggage. I agree that higher base prices and no checked bag fees make it so the people who only have carry-ons are helping to subsidize the cost for those people who are checking bags. While I think the prices that airlines charge for checked bag fees are high, they make it so…

Yes, it might make it easier to compare, but at this point, most people expect that most airlines charge fees for stuff like checked baggage. This bill, if passed, will make it harder for “low cost” carriers like Spirit to keep their prices low. They are an example of an airline that uses the fees as a way to…

While this sounds great, if this passes, all that will happen is the fees go away and the base prices go up to cover the difference. The airline industry has been enjoying huge profits lately and they will not want that to end. Right now, all these fees help to subsidize the base ticket prices.

Then an electric car, at least with the type of range you can buy today, would not be good for you. But if most people were to track the amount they normally drive, I think most people would be somewhat surprised that a 200 mile range would not be a big issue. I have a decent round trip commute to work at just over 30…

I think that is one thing that is holding people back from switching to an electric car. Now that more options are starting to become available with long ranges and reasonable prices, it will be the fear that you will find yourself needing to drive longer distances than your range will allow that will hold people back…

How often do you make a 600 mile trip, especially one without a long stop? Yes, an electric car with a 200 mile range would be very limited on road trips, but as a DD to and from work, it would most likely be plenty unless you have a really long commute or drive for a living.

Yes, 200 is short compared to gas cars. However, with an electric, you would be able to top it off each night at home. How often do you drive anywhere close to 200 miles in a day? Unless you have a horrible commute or you drive for a living, odds are you don’t get anywhere near 200 miles in a day 95% of the time.

Agreed. However, I think it was more referring to how the estimated numbers for the first half of 2015 show a 10% increase in the number of pedestrian fatalities year over year. Seeing as the estimated number is 2,368 for half the year, and assuming a linear progression throughout the second half of the year, it would…

This is not designed for someone like you. This is targeted more towards someone who hunts or buys meat in very large quantities. If you were to buy a half cow, you would end up with a ton of meat that would need freezing. This would be a great option for someone like to increase the amount of time you can store the…

Looks like this one is directed more towards saving game after a hunt, which might be why it’s called “sport”. But it doesn’t look like there is a difference between a regular FoodSaver and a GameSaver. Only thing I could find was that GameSaver bags/rolls are sold in multiple sets whereas FoodSaver bags/rolls are…
