The real problem is that it will move the cost bars. Anytime they split the fares like this, a main cabin $250 fare will now be $250 for the unbundled fare, and the rest of the prices will adjust accordingly. It won’t be exact, but I’ve never seen this result in actual lower airfare cost.

My analogy was a bit off, but effectively my interest is in how that potential future dispute will impact the other major states rights issues. Primarily nuclear waste, nonproliferation, and power plant licensure - all of which are currently out of the state’s control. The CARB restriction model could be used to…

EPA policy has a dramatic effect that I sincerely doubt CARB would be able to match dealing with other state and federal agencies. The most dramatic example is the Rocky Flats fiasco; based on history my money is on the EPA. The really fascinating thing is if the EPA vs CARB battle does go down in the courts, it…

I greatly enjoy FA and look forward to seeing what you guys do with it! My personal favorite fixture of FA is how it provides analysis without hyperbolic indictment. Unlike many other sister sites and sublogs, FA always felt more professional, significantly more informative, and really brought out the consequences in…

A call in survey of 1005 participants? MOE of 3.5% with a “majority” being 53% on terrorism and 52% on healthcare? Yeah, I’d say you should really look at the data and understand it. Delusional, unable to actually read data, and hostile.

Not sure where you are getting your numbers, but I think you’re unclear as to the meaning of “majority”. Check gallup:

Some intelligent pro-choice women have expressed this view, and I think it is one of the major sources of pro-life women feeling isolated. The intelligent pro-life women I have spoken with express a view that “rights” do not encompass the termination of what they consider to be life. This is the primary reason that…

Last I checked, most companies have strict rules saying to not talk to the press about the company. Dunno how GS runs, but I’d imagine it’s pretty common in any company big enough to have a media communications person/group.

Not in the DC area, but wouldn’t they be trying to protect it from protesters more than supporters? I would imagine there would be more destroying the grass given that the protests I’ve been to in that area of the country tend to be pretty nasty (trash, thrown items, etc.).

If you recall, we had a real life show on impeachment during Bill Clinton’s perjury charge. Even though he was officially impeached, he was not removed from office.

A “terrorist” is any individual that perpetrates an act that is designed to inflict grievous bodily harm on a substantial quantity of people for a (perceived or imagined) cause. Well known terrorists are primarily muslim extremists but include the boston bombers, Timothy McVeigh, and many others. Saying this is…

From some limited experience, I’ve seen this disproportionately impact those of non-technical backgrounds, or those in low-to-medium education jobs (AA, BA, etc.). Many of the female STEM field professionals I have worked with typically come back in at whatever career level they left at, and pay is negotiated…

So.....you didn’t like it because it didn’t represent what you want a show to represent? I’m confused how an anecdote matters to why you didn’t like the show.

If it makes you feel any better, your state produces really great engineers from what I’ve experienced!

So does that make my kitchen knife block a weapons cache?

Is there an actual basis for their protest? Most of the data I’ve seen from the ACoE shows that they went through the request, formal comment period, issuance and finding, and final signoffs to permit this pipeline. I’m not sure I understand why the white house would open the government up to another repeat of 10 CFR…

Typically it’s just account linking. They usually just ask basic questions, sometimes if it’s complicated they’ll ask for a DOD form, but typically it’s as simple as having your immediate family member call in and create an account. They don’t even have to open accounts if they don’t want to do so. Once the account is…

Oh good, I was worried I might not be able to see the individual beads of sweat on each athlete during the Olympics! /s

I try to remember that whenever I get frustrated at something, how not figuring it out is like adjusting the difficulty setting whenever a task feels impossible. It’s most memorable on DA:Inquisition on Nightmare and Witcher 3 on Death March, how you are so pissed you could throw the whole thing through the closest…

In case anyone doesn’t know, you should always check your (legal, immediate) family for anyone in the armed services. If you link accounts appropriately, you can get the coveted USAA insurance policies, which are incredible. For reference, a recent series of auto insurance quotes were roughly double to triple what…
