You wouldn’t find anything like those breadsticks in Italy either.

Or even better, if it is multiple lanes going in the same direction and cars in the further lane from the pedestrian are going by at speed. Yeah, sure... Just wave me on... What do I do when I pass your car, then?

Don’t forget the Italians

Installed a whitelist app a couple of years ago and it is brilliant. Went from 3-4 spam calls a day to maybe one a month.

If you ever have the opportunity to fly on Emirates, Qatar, Singapore Airlines or a number of others, I think you will find that First Class is very much “concierge service”. Business on same carriers is also quite delightful.

US first class or International First Class? US first class is barely at the level of regional business class in the rest of the world.

Germanwings 9525 might have been prevented if regulations had stated that two persons must be in the cockpit at all times.

Which is also making me wonder how often those planes get, y’know, cleaned.

Do you know how to extinguish a grease fire? Please respond quickly...

Simple solution: Bidet.

Just answer the questions honestly. There’s no need to elaborate or get all detailed, but your kids will remember if you withheld the truth...

As a non-American who has lived in the US for many years, the shock-horror-fascination that most American parents seem to have with their children and sex is baffling to me.

It’s not about sexualising kids. It’s about teaching them about their bodies.

Children typically travel as “unaccompanied minors” at no extra charge.

That’s only because more people travel on the average airliner than in the average car.

If you eat normally the day before, your body will have plenty of energy reserve unless you’re running more than a half marathon in the morning. Glycogen reserves don’t start to deplete until about 90 minutes into exercise.

I’ll chime in with the vitamins and minerals. I can last all day without food*, exercise or not, but especially when it is warm I have to be careful about nutrients such as magnesium. Maybe try some zero-calorie electrolyte tablets. I often dissolve one in my workout water bottle.

I can’t even imagine the amount of money it would take to get this thing flying again, but I think it’s safe to say the aircraft will be kept intact (if it’s kept at all) for historical museum purposes only and never soar again.

Converting thrust to HP is notoriously finicky because they measure different things. Thrust is a measure of a force exerted on an object while horsepower is a measure of work performed, which is the amount of motion a force creates when exerted on a body over a defined period of time.
