I’m a long-time cyclist, having started racing as a junior in the mid 1970s. I’ve got a collection of vintage racing bikes ranging from 1961 to 1996 with brakes from Mafac, Universal, and Campagnolo. Year before last, I finally bought a modern bike with hydraulic disk brakes. I was wary of the spinning wheels of death …

i actually had one of these. Got it cheap in a guys front yard sale back in college. had no idea what i was getting, but riding home i knew something was interesting.

Are you OK?

No, not even if its price was $470.

Planes generally do not get rear-ended or t-boned in collisions. Cars do. This is one of the reasons for the thickness.

Can we get these seats in cars please?  Current seats weigh a lot and take up a lot of room.

Make them as thin as you want. I’ll just keep getting fatter.

I would like to see the Venn diagram for the “Don’t fly the Max” and “Don’t get the vax” groups. I think we’d have a pretty good overlap. 

Agreed. I clicked 100% expecting to read a story about some girl in an SUV running down a cyclist. This was not at all what I expected.

I just checked the wear bars on my Model 3 yesterday. I am about due... after 51000 miles.

The 757 predates that merger by a very long time having entered service 11 years prior with the very newest built only a few years after, by which time they barely sold at all. The last 757 was built 20 years ago.

Mainly that in the world of 2024, you hear about every single thing that happens anywhere in the world if it will generate clicks. Much like this slideshow. Currently, especially if it has a Boeing involved. You know that an Airbus A319 had to return to London due to fumes in the cockpit last week? Another Airbus ALSO…

Simple for my wife and I....as two people who are in leadership positions we enjoy going on a vacation where our goal is to not have a plan and just chill.  We were weary on the first couple of cruises we went on but ultimately we enjoy being able to chill, go to a show, hit the piano bar, eat, drink, etc. without…

Actually, they are notorious for cleanliness and you can’t enter an eating area (specifically buffets) without being hounded to wash your hands. Unfortunately, some passengers board even knowing that they are ill. If crew finds this out, you are immediately quarantined to your cabin.

It wasn’t a new window in a new plane that failed out of the blue. The plane had been in service for a number of years. Things break. 

I’ll repeat myself and say that transparencies are a wear item. It is incumbent on ANA and all other airlines to inspect wear items at regular intervals and to take the aircraft out of service and replace the item if it is no longer within spec. If ANA sees premature wear on a transparency, they should contact the…

1: That’s not a MAX

Boeing's quality problems caused by its cheap ass management are overwhelming, but this particular incident doesn't seem to have anything to do with that. 

Boeing doesn’t manufacture the cockpit transparencies, PPG does.  Transparencies are a wear item like everything else on the plane.  

The list of the most stolen cars has pretty much always been about the same as the list of most sold cars. Car thieves don’t generally target nice cars much more than a Camry (per capita), they just target what is easy & available and there are a lot of Kias easily available.
