I’m an airline pilot, so when we say “timing out” it usually refers to max duty that can be flown, we have daily, weekly, and yearly limits on flying hours per Federal regulations.

As far as domicil/commuter goes, Domicile is the base you are assigned. Currently I am assigned Salt Lake City, and I also happen to live…

United won’t screw up their system due to these pay rules. If you jack up connecting flights, you also jack up your bigger legs.  If they say it’s due to Covid, this is one case where I’d believe it.

They have level crossings for high speed rail all across Europe and don’t have near the problems we have in ‘Murica.

That’s some rank shitposting, weirdo.

No, I’ve never stolen a bike.

Is this pronounced like it rhymes with “oak”? Or is it like a Hawai’ian word where you pronounce the “e” at the end (rhymes with “pokey”)?

I’m not sure who flipped on the proverbial switch that made everyone think that self-driving cars are a panacea.

Well I don’t think the shortage is port workers. I think its trucking and off port warehouses.

I have a few relatives who were (retired) or are currently longshoremen. They do make pretty great money with strong union benefits for minimal entry costs, but it does have its drawbacks. They don’t make enough to live in desirable parts of those massive port cities, so they either live in those dumpy city places…

No, sails don’t fall into the ocean when the wind dies to become several hundred pounds of wet nonsense you have to deal with.

Currently: because I have a tragic eye infection. Once I stop having a fever I’m just getting behind the wheel and seeing what I can do!

What they’ve “won” is an extremely compromised environment, hazardous air and water, the destruction of entire, vast communities in the rush to urbanize/mechanize the workforce, and a populace with such a dramatic decrease to its birthrate that it won’t be long before it faces fundamental existential crises on multiple…

You are 100% correct.

I remember visiting Florida with my family as a kid in the summertime and just feeling that blast of heat and humidity as soon as we stepped out of the airport. It was oppressive (but everything else about the trip was really cool). Later in life, I visited in the wintertime, and it was lovely being able to enjoy a…

I totally see the draw of the snowbird life. I would never want to endure a Florida summer. I think it takes a special kind of person to Florida year-round. 

China was a war torn colonial playground just 100 years ago. A big mistake we as Americans make is judging other parts of the world by our current conditions.

There is such a thing as a happy medium. All the news isn’t bad any more than all the news isn’t good.
