No worries on my end. If you don't mind, I'll be over here hiding behind the bar (it's where all the booze is).

Uh, I think you meant this reply for RDGJR, right?

Wait, what? As far as we know, the plane did just fine. It's the fragile people inside that were the issue.

CAT = Clear air turbulence. But the turbulence in this case was associated with a building storm and known jet stream winds. It would have been forecast.

Less dull is a word for it. Years ago I enjoyed a roller coaster ride into Ontario Airport (near Los Angeles) during the Santa Ana winds. The 737 we were on was just getting tossed. I got nailed in the head by a rather large, hardbound book (medical text) from the seat behind me.

It's likely most or all of the injuries are from those out of their seats, though things like flying objects and hot drinks can injure those belted in. The four crew injuries aren't surprising, since they were likely conducting cabin duties when the ride got rough.

I can't decide if this is the worst Final Destination movie or least funny episode of Louie.

Come on now. He didn't bash all the cops.

You'll never see timers in the USA. The pedestrian timers are usable for the purpose you describe and that upsets the control freak safety through punishment crowd.

I'd actually pay real money for deer detection. Those things terrify me.

It's a ghost car!

100% this.

^^^ This. The markup on this JCW is going to be atrocious.

Frankly, if you're pushing a hundred bills, you can have the left lane.

He very likely could have a gym bag in the passenger seat, which would trigger the light.

Some cars chime, others chime initially and go silent. My Abarth goes freaking berserk when the seat belt is unbuckled, and it will not stop. I seriously want to destroy the product engineer who created it.

In my old neighborhood we had an empty lot next to us that the dads would all convert into a neighborhood rink. It was... AWESOME. I was never more than 50 feet from a warm house and cold beer. When a house got built on that land and we started building the rink further up the street, the degree of difficulty went way…

^^^ All of this. As I mention in another comment, using a GPS while in Airplane Mode is as "dangerous" to the flight as using a compass. Or looking at things with your eyes. All your phone is doing is picking up ambient radiation in the environment. Absolutely zero impact on anything whatsoever.

LOL. You might as well have been using a compass, for all the impact your GPS was having on the plane's nav system. Hell, your eyes receive radiation that your brain interprets as shapes and colors. I suppose we should shut those off too. :)

Yep. Plus, GPS is a purely passive technology. Your phone does NOT talk to GPS satellites, it simply receives the signals being broadcast by them and does the math internally to compute your position, speed, altitude, etc. As long as your phone is in Airplane Mode, you will not be transmitting and will not be in…
