That’s certainly fair. If you don’t need to make a connecting flight, and are in no hurry to de-plane, then sit your ass down and chill for a bit. 

But also, if you are in a rush, maybe notify the flight attendants just before initial descent instead of making the mad dash up the isle.

Although to be fair to the flight attendants, he was already drunk when he got on the plane.

I’m not suggesting that the overhead bins “belong” to anyone, just that people need to learn how to store their bags and items in them.

And if I’m traveling for work, all I need is a standard roll-aboard suitcase and my laptop bag.  It’s not a matter of cost, but a matter of convenience.

Not knowing how to load a 22" roll-aboard suitcase into the overhead compartments. It goes in wheels first, up on it’s side. When you do that you can fit 3, maybe even 4 suit cases in a compartment (depending on airframe type).

I can sort of forgive people who put them in wheels first but lay them flat, but I’m…

This one not so much. It’s not a bad idea to go into airplane mode, but it’s not a safety thing. Modern airliners aren’t impacted by cellular service in use on the aircraft.

That said, good luck getting a signal at 36k feet and mach .90.  Going into airplane mode will do wonders for your battery life during the flight.

Pre-ordered through Amazon.  Got delivered about 15 minutes ago.  Now just waiting to finish out my afternoon meetings.  Didn’t have to wait in line.

Now I can’t unhear that.

That’s a pretty standard ride height.  The bottom bracket (the part that the pedal cranks attach to) looks like it’s below the axles which is good, and the BB height + rider height dictates the seat height.  In fact, in that picture, he looks like he might want to raise his seat a little bit for more efficient…

How hard would it be to upgrade to hydraulic disc brakes, because as anyone who has built a head of steam on a bike with mechanical disc brakes knows, they’re awful. I’d rather have rim v-brakes.  It’s like drum brakes vs. disc brakes on a car.

also, with no top tube, how well will it be able to handle a gap jump?

(my…

Nope, nope.  It’s all that crazy rap music and devil worship heavy metal music.  My 3rd grade teacher told me so.

That’s a fair point - there were quite a few dead spots when we took the California Zephyr a few years ago.  I wonder if I could rig up a mechanism to keep a starlink dish constantly pointed in the right direction even as the train is moving...

If I had foxtrot uniform levels of cash, I would totally do this. Would outfit it with wireless networking (LTE with Starlink as a backup?) and work from the train while being towed behind any and all of the western trains (California Zephyr, Empire Builder, Southwest Chief, etc.) back and forth to Chicago.

Maybe do…

or you could just let someone have a parking spot.  <shrug/>

I used to do things on like that on the rare occasion that I needed to, now I’m afraid to get shot so I just let everyone else take the parking spot/lane spot/drive-thru line spot

I’m guessing the concern with the wood isn’t structural, but more around operating temperatures.

Would rather open my window when it’s Satan’s Ballsack® hot outside than when it’s colder than a Witch’s Tit®

I drive an E90, and sometimes my wife’s R171 SLK. 80%* of vehicles in my area are trucks or SUVs. I can almost never see through the cars ahead of me. I simply maintain a larger gap.

*This is non-scientific bullshit statistic but demonstrates the point that I can almost never see through the car ahead of me.

I realize this is a massive stretch. Not even apples to oranges. More like apples to pizzas, but I spent a week in a Lynk & Co. 01 during my vacation to France last December, and while it had some impressive features, it had some serious flaws and is certainly not ready for primetime in the North American market.

If…

Does that mean that every component on the car, from the headlight ballast to the window regulator need a chip to decrypt TLS?

Kids lose house keys.  The never lose their phone.
