Well, not sure a theft of this value would even meet their deductible =P Or if they’d want to use it, no idea if museum insurances work that way, but probably equivalent to you getting a minor scratch or rock chip on the bumper of your car and not wanting to use your insurance as 1) your deductible, 2) your insurance…

And you’re missing the point as well. That is your position from the point of the view of the thief. I’m saying, from the point of view of the Museum, compared to what could have been taken, it was nothing.

I wasn’t referring to the effort put in but the relative value of what was taken vs. what was available for taking. If it makes you feel better, someone found the bank vault unlocked one night, walked into the bank, saw piles of money everywhere, and in their haste grabbed the wrong bag and walked out with $1,500…

Sorry, I understand why my parantheses carried an accusatory tone. I should have been clearer and less combative in my original message with the suggestion too =)

Yes, I just want to note that the towns people, tried to sue them out of existence, and most egregiously to me, barred them from registering to vote.

One thing I thought was interesting was the constant cycle of escalation from both sides. And it’s a useful lesson to note that these things really start building up from both sides at fault, and people don’t usually start off being militant, but end up in a situation where both sides end up slowly pushing each other…

Watch the whole documentary through. One thing I thought was interesting was the constant cycle of escalation from both sides.

Yep, China’s incredibly capitalist right now - maybe more so than the United States in many respects. The communism part is just part of the party name - like how North Korea is the “Democratic Republic”.

It’s not “nothing” but this is the equivalent of someone planning out a complicated bank heist, ending up in a vault full of millions in cash, then grabbing the wrong duffel bag and making it out with the manager’s gym bag containing dirty gym clothes, an ipad, and an iPhone. Sure it’s not nothing, and the new retail…

Another part of the reason is the longevity of military hardware. Think of it this way, your PC from 15 years ago had ps/2 ports for the keyboard/mouse, maybe a bunch of USB 1.0 ports, floppy discs, etc.

Really? You must not travel much then, I’ve seen these everywhere from low-end to high-end hotels in most developed countries (including throughout the U.S.). It’s not universal, and I think it’s generally related to how recently the hotel’s been renovated - if a hotel’s been renovated in the last 10-20 years, it…

I think it’s probably has a lot more of an effect on conservation than you give it credit for - not just a “show”.

Yep, it’s price segmentation based on willingness to pay.

You might have some reading comprehension to work on as well =P As n o where in my comment did I state that you stated that someone should expect someone to give up their seat.

The appellate process could be stream lined, but it’s not that easy to streamline.

Airlines usually charge extra for the exit row nowadays, so the person sitting there probably paid for it - which makes it far less likely they would be willing to voluntarily switch (and you’d be entitled to think they should).

I remember them having those exact seats on a Cathay Pacific flight ages ago, like 10 years past. It was nice actually, “reclining” almost let you lie down straight, just at an angle. When you recline, the back goes back while the base moves forward - but it effectively gave you more recline in the same room. I…
