There’s nothing legally requiring airlines to compensate domestic passengers for delays due to mechanical issues but I am continually baffled as to why any airline wants ‘offered $30 for an engine that looks like it nearly exploded!’ appearing in the news next to their name.

Still better than Hillary.  ...and that is really sad.

I work at an airport and I see A LOT of female passengers who were revealing clothing, especially in the summer. Bare midriff tops and booty shorts seem to predominate, and I have to make it a point not to look to long.

Um, I think the professional office scene is rapidly changing from what you describe above. As far as I know, business casual is the new formal. My anecdotal evidence is only of maybe a dozen midwest companies, but jeans and casual shoes like loafers, boat shoes, or even brown/white/black sneakers are ok with an

I’m to the point now, as a man in a professional work environment, where I don’t usually trust people in suits and ties. (exceptions apply for businesses with archaic dress codes where suits are still required)

Unless something is actually showing, companies need to lay the fuck off.  Seriously, you’re on an airplane, not at Ruth’s Chris steakhouse.  

Yeah, tell me how conservatives don’t try to control people. Really, I need a laugh today.

Welcome to the liberal communist state of California. Hopefully shit like this makes you think about who your voting for. 

You don’t put your tacos on display? How uncivilized

I was watching early Futurama the other day and I forgot about the joke where Hermes gives his son a penny and his son says, “I’m going to buy 5 shares of Amazon.com,” and Hermes responds, “Ah, a risk taker!” I mean yeah, hindsight, but Amazon is a singular success sitting on top of a graveyard that contains pets.com,

Take away their patrol cars and put them all on bikes.

The Silk Road story is still one of the craziest stories. From how it actually worked to its downfall and the actions of Ulbricht to his insane sentence to the agents trying to steal a bunch of bitcoin and getting caught. If it was a movie most people wouldn’t think it would be realistic. 

In a way, it’s kind of lame the battle against the White Walkers only lasted a single episode, because taking care of the entire, series-long threat in one fell swoop is weirdly perfunctory. I don’t know if the show needed to make room for the events that will happen over the final three episodes, but this was the

Here’s hoping no one from Hawaii EMA is involved...

Thank you! I was going to post this too.

Can we please credit MIT computer scientist Katie Bouman for her work on imaging this?

I might be in the minority here, but I’d be fine if they took a few years before launching Phase 4 (with Guardians Vol 3) and instead gave us a few palette cleansers with some low stakes, fun, character movies. They can be origin stories that literally just introduce new characters and mythologies, or maybe a new

You’re telling me the email from Prince Rimasauskas of Lithuania asking me to help hide his $121 million was real?

I’m sort of.......proud of this dude? I’d give him a talking to if I was his parent, but only about getting caught.

I only need about 100k to be honest.

1-3 million tops for comfort.

121 million - geez, he might as well have painted a giant red X on himself and his immediate surroundings.
