Silly uni-tasker. You can do all of this in a single, large pan.

Go get an up-close look at a cassowary at a zoo some time. Then come back and tell me it makes the same sense to have one of those as it does to have a dog or a cow.

So pay $90 more then. Or don’t take the effin flight. Nobody has ever guaranteed you the right to be transported through the air according to your whims and at the price of your choosing.

As an Amazon shareholder, I do not desire this. The negligible effect it will make to climate change will not be worth the significant detriment this will come to Amazon as a company, and to their customers as a result.

Not to be mean, but let’s put this argument back into perspective. “Above average size” is the term originally used by Bill and it is a really broad term. Google says the average weight for US males above age 20 is a little under 198 lbs. While 290 lbs is technically “above average” it is also above the 95th…

The children in Africa continued to starve, and I got fat.

Similar to the person that insists on calculating the percentage of the bill they owe down to the penny, this person is a person with which I would not suffer to eat a second meal with.

Yes, that’s exactly what you wrote. I mean, good lord, you can scroll right up and read it!

This doesn’t hold up. An owner can claim you took your “arrivial” photos after you damaged something so you could claim it was already there.

Nobody has argued that aircraft haven’t advanced. That’s beyond a strawman

Have to agree. A person can do things you agree with while also doing things you find very wrong.

“Preferable” is not what we are talking about here. Bill claimed that anything less than Business class wasn’t accessible. Which is a garbage claim.

Is it really old white men who hold this view any differently than the rest of the population?

Ever sat 3 adults in the back row of a minivan?

Agreed. Or just paying an extra $8 or so to get a seat with more legroom, and not in the last 7 rows where you get to smell the bathrooms and listen to the engine exhaust the whole trip.

I think a lot of the animus is actually from those of us who are low level employees at companies with travel policies (or dick bosses) that insist business travel be conducted in the cheapest seats possible.

I don't think your snarky comment was typed the way you envisioned it in your head...

Meh. I’m 6'1" and 250 lbs. I fly fine. Am I enjoying myself? No. But I am no less comfortable than I would be sitting in the back seat of any car that costs less than $100k. And I'm getting to my destination at over 300 mph.

You don’t want to give any credit, for it being cheaper, to the guys and gals that are designing and building airplanes with advanced materials, making them much lighter (allowing for vastly more cargo capacity?) Or amazingly advanced jet engines (geared high bypass turbo fans that run as high as 20,000 RPM while…

Damn straight. And because of capitalism, if you wanted to, you could decide to fly across the country this morning and easily be there in time for dinner. And it would hardly cost you a thing.
