I don’t know if you’ve been paying attention at all to the recent happenings of GMG (including Lifehacker) but GMG was bought by soulless venture capitalists who insist on all of the negative changes you mentioned because they’re convinced it’ll drive revenue. That and/or they just enjoy burning down things non-rich-pe…

Amateur hour. I know Excel tricks that would make your eyeballs bleed.

While it only gets down to -20 a few days a year, financially it doesn’t work. As someone who buys a few year old used car with maybe 50,000 miles on it then keeps it for a good decade, I’m going to to save any money buy buying one.  

Spend the extra money on an electric or plug in hybrid car...
You’ll be saving over $500 a year by not having to buy gas.

The first leg takes us to Phoenix which is about an hour flight. About halfway through, there’s a commotion behind me with a…

Hartsfield was so obviously designed pre-9/11, channeling every person departing from the world’s busiest airport through a single security chokepoint.  What a disaster.

Flying to Phoenix on SW. Plane was touching down, back wheels hit the runway then all of a sudden you hear and feel the engines go full throttle and we’re climbing steeply, then we roll right hard. Angles that passenger planes never do normally. 

If you’re my mom, it’s wing flex.

Back in the late 80s I was flying home with my parents and 4 brothers from a wedding in El Paso, Kids aged 9, 7, 5, 5 (twins), and 2. What was supposed to be a quick layover in Dallas turned into a 7 hour layover after our arriving pilot took 30 minutes to taxi to the terminal, causing us to miss our next flight by…

I’ve watched an engine explode while flying through a mountain blizzard at night and your experience sounds MUCH more terrifying to me.
