My flight out of DC nearly hit Elon’s ego at 40000 ft

I’m going to say that the “standards of professional conduct” were violated by the other employees. As always, fuck dealerships.

This is all well and good but can we have an another article on Southwest going to assigned seating? Southwest stated that their survey said people want it (SW is lying). I live near a SW hub so everyone I know flies SW and every person I have asked said that they are against the change to assigned seats. I know I’m…

It was a good question. Helmet dynamics are weird, and often terrifying. At the end of the day, any helmet that’s been in an impact - regardless of visible damage - should be discarded. There could be internal fractures that you just can’t see.

Interesting. Thanks for the reply.

A competition-prepped big air transition, a 1/2 pipe, or a box or rail, aren’t soft surfaces; especially when the skier has fallen 20' out of the sky onto it, or are moving really fast. Conversely I’ve seen helmets come apart in low-speed impacts and skiers with little to no internal damage.

Do you think some of the lack of visible damage on snow sports helmets traces to hitting frozen water instead of something more... marking? Legit curious. 

Here’s the thing: if you need a drink to fly, you should not be flying. 

Interesting point about Franchitti’s helmet. I’m a ski patroller and free-style ski coach. I see intact helmets with minimal damage, all the time on skiers/snowboarders with concussions.

European airports must be different than American ones.  I have a 2 drink limit on airport booze.  It’s called my credit card limit.

I had a recent experience where, after hours of other delays, we missed our last chance for an international flight because of a drunk asshole. Maybe 2 is a low limit but I ain’t opposed to the concept in general.

$1.00 to enter.
$150 to leave.

I have lived in Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn. I hated traveling by motor vehicle through lower Manhattan, but to be honest it was the most logical way to get from Brooklyn to Newark Liberty Airport. The crossings from New York to New Jersey are managed by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which also…

But the two-drink limit, however simple to write, may not be fully scientifically backed.

OK - perspective first. For me, if I drink more than 2 drinks in a month’s time, that is heavy drinking for me. I also have never drank to drunkenness.

Tried to fly from SLC to Phoenix three days before NYE ‘00, every airline had flights leaving and landing, except America West, who didn’t have a plane that could fly through the massive fog. Three canceled flights the first day until my GFs dad drove us to Vegas to catch a flight to Phoenix. Trying to fly back home…

They feel entitled to the congestion money precisely because they benefit from New York. First, this is about appeasing the voters of NJ who commute to NYC, the majority of whom oppose congestion pricing. Second, it’s about revenue; NJ shares in the tolls collected by the bridges and tunnels that connect NJ to NYC.…

There’s a part of me that wants to see this come to fruition, and I can just sit back with a bag of popcorn and watch the shenanigans unfold.

“You need to have New York at the table and New Jersey has leverage.”

and now Jersey City’s mayor, Steven Fulop, is proposing “reverse congestion pricing,” charging New York drivers for entering the Garden State.
