A one-man confederacy of dunces.

Jesus...people like Trump make me embarrassed to be an American.

Evidently, not many people needed all of those features.

This is very first time I’ve heard of this product, so there’s that problem; but I would have laughed at $250 anyway...

If you’re the type of person who would “freak out” about that, I would venture to say that you would never earn a pilot license.

Forget Verizon’s stupid PR justifications, and the fine print of their contract. Internet bandwidth costs carriers almost nothing when you consider that it’s spread over millions of users, so their “data caps” are mostly artificial; a scheme to charge more fees. Similar to a bank charging you a monthly fee for keeping…

Ridiculous PR-speak from Verizon. I LOVE my unlimited AT&T plan - not because I ever use 100GB a month - but because I DON’T WANT TO WORRY ABOUT HOW MUCH DATA I’M USING, and get charged huge $ for going over my provider-imposed cap.

The sun was fairly low and both pilots were facing it, but it’s hard to believe that the other pilot could not see him in the middle of the runway.

They also paid huge fines for their role in the mortgage banking scandals. Banking with Wells Fargo, Chase or Citibank is a suckers game...

I would argue that there is a BIG difference between:

Can’t wait till they get cracking on iTunes! ;-)

The man is banned from entering three countries due to his criminal record, and thinks it’s “ironic” that the police are at his door after he pulls a gun on someone. If you hang out with people like him, there will be drama and stupidity.

The polar opposite of Donald Trump, Branson is a REAL self-made business success and badass; proving it avery day with actions, instead of just bragging about it. :-)

I work in Search & Rescue, and our agency no longer uses EpiPen’s due to the cost. The result is that our First Aid-level responders have no Epi, and our EMT responders now carry $20 vials of Epi which must be drawn up for intramuscular injection.

I can’t believe that’s an Olympic sport.

I saw a similar thing on flights to/from Central America. The MOMENT the wheels touched the ground, you could hear dozens of seatbelts unclicking, because nothing bad can happen at 140 MPH ;-)

Absolutely...everything in the cabin goes flying. Still, it’s better than slamming into the ceiling headfirst, and then coming down on top of passengers and seats. :-)

Really? Not everyone knows that? It makes the news 3-4 times a year. You’re told to fasten them during takeoff and landing, and during turbulence. You are advised to keep it fastened at all times. Anyone who ignores this is stupid.
