"What jets exactly have you seen a belted toilet with a privacy screen pulled up from the floor that stops at shoulder level?"

Okay, I'm confused: the original challenge was to see how much one could eat in one day while driving a certain car. In this case the car happens to have a diesel engine and a tank large enough to drive 500+ miles — but that alone means you get to drive the car for a week as a part of the challenge? I'm not seeing how…

"Properly cooked ribs never have meat that falls off the bone... that's what overcooked ribs do."

I remain unclear on what seems so "implausible." I'm merely confirming the description of the toilet described in the article as something I've routinely seen, with my own eyes, on fractionally shared jets. I don't see any way whatsoever of installing an actual door without removing at least one seat.

That's how I read it, too.

"But a plane with no bathroom door? That really limits the plane this could be."

He said he could "barely" stand upright. And while there are indeed quite a few older jets out there, that doesn't mean newer ones are any bigger on the inside. In fact, they really aren't, and for pretty much the same reason a 787 isn't bigger than the 777 it preceded (it's narrower, in fact) and substantially…

This is probably surprising to most people who've never been on a private jet, but about 98% of them are tiny — and yes, that includes even many of the late-model, "elite" jets out there. The biggest defining point within this class of jets is merely whether they're "stand-up" or not, and I'm being literal here: the…

Yowza. Alright, I shall refrain from usage of incendiary language and hopefully put this dispute to bed after making the following points:

Okay, whaaaa? Where did I say anything about driving myself to LaGuardia? I meant via taxi or livery car or, alternately, taking the 4/5/6 up to 125th St. and hopping onto the M125 bus, which goes straight to the airport. (I've done all three under various circumstances.)

Dear EJP,

Actually, I was mainly referring to the African airports where Americans and Europeans rarely travel — certainly not Nairobi, kickoff point for many a rich person's safari, nor Dar es Salaam, the pitstop en route to climbing Kili. Get back to me once you've flown into any airport in, say, South Sudan or Burkina Faso.

Best international: Singapore Changi, Hong Kong Chek Lap Kok, Madrid-Barajas, Amsterdam Schiphol, Seoul Incheon.

I pray for your soul, for this experience will forever change you.

I can only assume you're delusional. National is THE best urban airport in America, PERIOD. Dulles, OTOH, is up there with LAX as one of the WORST international airports in the country. The fact that you live way out in the bumfuck D.C. 'burbs is not relevant to the conversation, nor is the fact that you're a…

Agreed - awful list, even after acknowledging that it's entirely a #firstworldproblem complaint:

"Outside of Nigeria, this is a list of "First World Problems".

People stopped caring about Saturn after Saturn did a complete 180 from its original business model. It was intended to be a new kind of car, built by a new kind of worker, in Tennessee. When GM mercy-killed the brand, it had morphed into yet another maelstrom of badge-engineered GM bullshit, with absolutely zero…

"GM hasn't been able to sell a appealing RWD sedan since the G8 left."

I'm afraid I have to disagree. My experience with BMWs dates back to my dad's '79 320i and learning to drive stick on his '83 533i. I honestly don't think the cars themselves changed much as a response to the "yuppie revolution." Now yes, their advertising certainly did, and some of their cars were undeniably produced…
