I think the idea is that families can book this along with other seats in the plane and there's room in the suite for them to hang out together but there's not enough provided for everyone to spend the entire flight there. Probably space to sleep, seats that are safe for when the belt light is on, or both.

I don't know what the procedures are there, just pointing out that they don't involve an air traffic controller. Reading other responses to this article, it seems there's at least some expectation that skydivers notify others about their activity. Without all the facts it seems possible that either party may have…

It's an uncontrolled airfield. "Air traffic controller issue" is one way of putting it.

What business does a skydiver have landing on a runway anyway? Does using all the wide open space either side make things too easy?

I'm pretty sure that's how Deal or No Deal works though - they cherry-pick people who look like bad judges of risk-reward in auditions to maximize entertainment value. The time invested in faking your way onto the show probably isn't even worth the chance you have of getting on and winning big, even if you're a…

You don't get to choose how much energy the noses have to dissipate in a collision. However much the car has at the point of collision, it's all going somewhere.

Discussing an issue that needs more attention in an attention-grabbing way is the kind of publicity stunt I can totally get behind.

If you lived here you would realise that most years, most parts of the country don't get enough settled snow to need ploughing - and when we do, the country grinds to a halt because we don't have any ploughs anyway!

Imagine if Rocky the Nuggets mascot had actually been dead when his limp body was lowered from the rafters. No visual difference but yet after the fact it would surely have transformed from hilarious GIF material to nightmares for life for all.

Not denying that women are targeted infinitely more, but I'm pretty sure the bounty on nude pics of the Facebook lead attorney mentioned in the article is intended to injure and ridicule him, just as a solitary counterexample.

The most despicable drunk driver is nothing like this guy... Its the guy who is still sober enough to have a fighting chance of making a rational decision whether or not to drive and still chooses to inflict their impaired driving on other innocent road users... who doesn't have what is in all probability a serious…

I don't think Rob's question necessarily means he doesn't already know all this. Parenting and preparing for it is an opportunity to try to fine tune every last detail of your child's life for the better. Disability is one of those things that can't be controlled and makes more difference than almost any one decision…

I really hope there is something in it... but if there is the guys who are running the program (or at least the ones trying to promote it) are not remotely qualified to pull it off. Everything they say lacks a reasonable appreciation of relative scale and what the important issues are.

Wow, just wow. This is hilarious right up to the point where they got $750,000 from a federal agency to develop it.

Plus neither a tree nor a face in the same spot would get as hot as the Jag, what with it being a rather high-octane greenhouse.

In the court decision, it's explicitly a greater distraction than a notification sound though. Unless someone is likely to spend the time it takes to read your text texting someone else anyway, the decision to text them is literally giving them one more potentially deadly thing to do, that would not be replaced with…

The court decision is explicitly limited to situations where you know the person is not only driving but will read the text at the wheel. I don't think it abrogate's the driver's responsibility but it rightly puts you in a position of secondary responsibility because you have a choice as to whether you incite the…

This is being completely misrepresented. From the court document itself:

The obvious difference is that sports would be pointless if they weren't entertaining. Most people have a vested interest in the outcome of politics that goes beyond how interesting the process was.
