even if they could stay at the airport, it’s an open air terminal. there are no walls, just a roof and some additional benches/chairs.

99.9% chance it’ll be fine: boring and a bit cramped, but fine. Flying is inconvenient, but you shouldn’t be feeling too bad about it — all news organizations like to emphasize the worst news possible.

I can promise there were hotel rooms, just not ones in the United network that they have discount rates for. He could have booked one himself and demanded United pay it back, or use his credit card’s flight delay insurance to cover it (if he had a good travel card).

No available rooms within 50 miles out of the Kona Airport?

Manual cars ARE safer. My original response to the OP was removed (intentionally), but I’ll continue to disagree, that it’s a stupid myth (or a myth in general). You’re obviously lying if you think a manual car doesn’t force you to pay some kind of attention to the act of driving and your surroundings. You’re also…

Exact, it’s metaphorical. Driving a brodozer clearly shows you are seeking attention/validation, which is often a sign of poor self-esteem/insecurity.

Re: pickup drivers. Saying someone has small dick energy doesn’t actually mean you believe them to have a smaller anatomy. It’s a euphemism for insecurity. Maybe its outdated and body shaming, yes, but the underlying message is about insecurity.
We have evidence to suggest folks who buy pickup trucks and large SUVs wer…

While several responses are “they opted out of part B, so live with the consequences of their actions”.... Stop it, this woman is over 65 and probably on a fixed income where they COULDN’T afford it. The sheer fact that there is a $71K difference between insured and uninsured is proof that they are price gouging.…

The larger issue is that vendors charge insurance companies fees that are far less than the fees they charge uninsured consumers - this should be changed and fees should all be the same regardless of insurance coverage - so if the air ambulance company would have accepted 10,000 from insurance they should do the same…

I would agree IF the flight costs were reasonable. $81K for a 79 mile flight is not reasonable. Knowing “air ambulance bills were high” is not the same as getting a $81 K bill, especially when if she had been covered by Medicare the air ambulance company would only have been allowed to charge $10K. That is a $71K…

The day (in 1999) that I sold my 67' Giulia Super. I did sell it to get a GTV6 which I loved and regret selling too, but that Super was in original shape (red paint burnt, interior used but good, motor in excellent shape) with only a little rust over the rear wheels. I’d purchased new steel for it and was preparing to…

You okay?

Oooo!! How much HP and torque does that add???

It’s not fake.. but it’s not.

As side from what was already mentioned, I’m gonna mention a couple of extra dumb myths repeated by the anti-BEV crowd (likely oil industry shills much of the time)

That was invented by dads who really just wanted to concentrate on the road.

A car is safe because it is big. Having all of that car around you obviously makes you much safer. From ignorant people willfully know nothing about engineering, crumple zones, safety features, etc. &c. 

A secondary myth of Horsepower.
