AS an airline pilot I can tell you that descending 28,000 in ten minutes is 2800FPM which is not a plunge at all. It’s actually a litle slower than I would expect for a depressurization which at that rate wasn’t explosive and probably a fault of the air con packs which pressurize the plane meaning it would slowly lose…

Curious what car you have that is new enough to have passive entry but not battery run down protection?

Movies seem to make the fears of airline pilot incapacitation worse than reality. While a pilot dying en route is tragic, the bigger emergency is the health of the dying pilot, not the fact that the aircraft is still flying. The FAA stresses that these incidents are rare and passenger safety isn’t really compromised.

Pretty sure they would have made it safely with the F/O alone.

My wife’s friend is a young widow with 3 kids whose Pacifica is on its last legs. An $8k 300ZX is not the answer to her problem, and I suspect that is going to be the case for 90-95% of the shoppers out there.

I mean, a good, inexpensive and well maintained minivan is what they’re looking for. The point of the article (and the comment) is, those are getting harder to find.

An expensive delay. Who’s going to bear the cost?

Wow, he’s reached the Nader of his journey as a homeowner.

Right there with you. I bought myself a gravel bike this year and keep it on the trails and prairies. I also found I enjoy it more as I’m not on edge trying to watch for cars or getting my ears blasted out by someone flying by with a crappy exhaust. Pops and bang tunes are the absolute worst!

I feel the same way about dirt bike motorcyles vs. street bikes. Yeah, if I fall off a bike, that’s my fault and I accept it. But if somebody hits me from behind, there’s pretty much nothing I can do about it. I was riding a motorcycle on an LA freeway in dense fog, and realized in the middle of it how stupid it was…

The whole concept of a “Ghost Kitchen” is such a scam from the get go.

I’ve done quite a bit of running and cycling in my time and my biggest take away is that if you aren’t in a car, you aren’t safe around cars. I’ve been hit enough to have learned to get my ass on a trail.

What if somebody took their drag racer there to get washed before going to a car show ? Tommy’s would be aiding and abetting a drag show

Just buy a crap one.

Is he packing a Fat Man or a Little Boy?

Unless you are riding mountains or deep snow off trail, 4 strokes are better now days. Yamaha has been exclusively 4 stroke for at least a decade now.

Now hear me out. An EV snowmobile with a coal fired battery heater. 

After reviewing the thin paste we recovered from the wreckage, we believe the person it came from is DEAD.

When everyone has a clue, society works beautifully. It’s a shame we can only enjoy it as moments because Reality is chock full of morons.

It’s not pressure than causes problems, it’s pressure differences. Any pieces that blew off suddenly had the same pressure on all sides, and no longer had large forces acting on it.
