I do actually get the safety side. I went through a natural disaster when tornadoes ate the power poles and a lot of radio stations.

If you went back 10+ years, you would be right about the AM radio bands and right wing radio.  But it isn’t that way now.

1 year of aging? Isn’t that just space Moonshine?

Tongue in Check

I drove both. Owned a 85 looked into a used 92? Turbo. The early models of the 2nd gen had the wrong length suspension arms in the back and made them have significant bump steer. As the poster talked about the car lost the tossiblity, the steering feel was numb and there was absolutely no way to predict what the rear…

By the time the whiskey is aged, the popularity of whiskey will have faded and it will be something like, I don’t know, have they done Sherry recently?

I just had a conversation with a customer that is in the aerospace industry. They were joking that they could make money if they could find a way to grow and roast coffee beans in space. Which evolved into maybe going a step better and having monkeys up there eating the beans and pooping them out before roasting them.…

A couple points. Given me a couple hours, what city you live in and I’ll find tanks that are near you that are at higher pressure internally than the Titan was externally. Might even be on a railcar going by. This is just as dangerous.. but there are national and international standards that have keep these things…

Here’s a company that makes subs that they sell to tourist companies

It really isn’t dangerous. If you design it right.

One of the things that stands out to me is actually the opposite. Oceangate was cheap and built on a budget. And it showed. Other companies do the same dive, but for a lot more money than Oceangate charged. It was only for the mega rich, not the uber rich.

Yeah, Other than a very memorable trip to NYC, I have had great experiences with public transport, especially the DC Metro system. But I remember the TV shows showing horrible subway systems full of thugs and crime and vandalism. Shoot, being a Weird Al fan, I remember his parody of Another One Bites the Dust.

Yes, I work in a group that has a long tradition of meetings in either DC or NYC. The chairman for years lived near Philly. He picked one or the other city based on the Amtrak route. In about 10 years, he only showed up late once.

I think this is a Gen X question.   I’m Gen X, and my first subway ride was in the late 70s in New York, back when they were averaging something insane like a murder every night and the car was wall to wall graffiti.  Busses were not much better.  Entertainment was full of horror stories about subways and inner…

Mine is an old story and hopefully things have changed, but I haven’t trusted American transport for some reason based on my experience as a kid.

Yeah, it’s not like unibody vehicles. The swap would be $5000 at most labor included, and they are getting a lot more than that in negative press from it.

By the way, as a passenger, the 737 is superior to the 757. The planes have the exact same cabin diameter. But the 757 is inferior to a passenger because...

Nah, I knew a Toyota Service guy from the frame recall days. I think he said he had 8 hours of labor to swap a Tacoma Frame, but they had found ways to do it in less than 4.

A note about the Boeing 737 comment.
