Wait, what?

I am all sorts of confused - the headline says the plane depressurized, but the article says they landed without losing cabin pressure. And a 2800 foot per minute descent is pretty gradual; I wouldn't really consider it a "drop" except in the most literal interpretation of the word.

I was going to make a similar comment. “A priest’s 3,000 year old burial site," "A burial site for a priest who died 3,000 years ago..."  It's not easy to find a good alternative.  English is funny that way.

So just like the blue check marks on exTwitter, it’s a way to let people know that you *really* like the taste of boot ot polish.

Studios Complain Strikes They Caused Are Hurting Their Movies’ Box Offices

My first two cars were red salvage-title 1987 Hyundai Excels, a sedan followed by a hatchback. The sedan was totaled when someone turned in front of me and was replaced by the hatchback that I drove for years. They were both red, had manual transmissions, and power moonroofs. I lived in the desert, they didn’t have…

That wouldn’t be a very challenging mission...

There was a recent thread on Twitter (I think) that explained GOP thinking perfectly:

I think the writer misinterpreted the data. “In the final 20 minutes of the flight, the plane dropped some 8,000 feet” sounds like the plane was on approach, which is perfectly normal. You are correct, the turbulence would have only been a few seconds - and from the quotes I’ve read in other articles, that fits…

KOTOR is one of my top 5 games of all time.  I’d love to shake Casey’s hand one of these days.

I spent thousands of hours flying on planes at a previous job, much of it intentionally in crappy weather, and I’ll just say this - when you’re seated, keep your seatbelt on. Oh, and wear long pants and long sleeve shirts when you’re flying. Those escape slides are not made of soft or smooth material.

These answers are laughably bad, with a simple answer - plug-in hybrids. I have two - a 2016 Volt and a 2017 Pacifica. The Volt drives like an EV until the battery runs out, at which point it drives like a hybrid. It’s currently at ~3400 miles on the latest tank of gas, and has only used 3-4 gallons. For the past few…

This looks amazing, but I’m not personally a fan of Splinter’s look.  Same with Rise of the TMNT - I guess I just prefer Splinter looking reasonably well kept with the red robe.

Any show or movie that shows Optimus Prime’s mouth is immediately starting out at a deficit - a significant hurdle to overcome. Optimus has a face shield, not lips.

Not answering the question, I know, but why the heck are car colors in the U.S. so damn boring? Seriously, the majority of the cars sold are on a scale somewhere between white and black. You could convert that picture to grayscale and most people would barely notice the change. In that photo I see a total of one…

I absolutely believe PHEV’s are the way to go to spur adoption with more people. You get all the benefits of an EV, plus all the benefits of a traditional hybrid when the battery runs out. And folks can use the gasoline infrastructure they’re used to while getting used to charging.  It’s a better step than pushing…

The people that complain about reclining your seat.  You buy the seat, you buy the ability to recline it.  That goes for the person in front of you as well.

I bought a1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Sport Sedan from a used car lot.  It was (and is) in serious need of restoration, but I'll be buried in that car before I sell it.

Of course Manchin has a problem with building battery plants...

I agree on the PHEV’s; they’re a fat better choice to improve acceptance of EV’s in general. I have a 2016 Volt that’s now gone 2700 miles on 3 gallons of gas. Get people used to plugging in and charging at home, see how smooth EV’s are, see the reduced maintenance costs, but all without giving up the convenience of…
