All airlines do this. It’s frustrating, and it has to do with playing the game with the DOT. They are punished for cancelling flights, but not delaying them, so the game is to dela…

Wouldn’t it be easier and cheaper simply to focus building your data centers in other poorer countries where your permits won’t be blocked? Why would the next most logical choice b…

Ukraine would love the F35. We won’t sell it to them at any price, though, because of the escalatory concern with Russia. We only just barely decided to allow them to have F16.

The Gestapo had the backing of the courts and the laws as well. Your argument is not as strong as you seem to think. Also -- it's fairly well documented at this point that ICE is o…

You clearly DON’T “get it”.. obviously Trump is different than Hitler, but to say he’s nothing remotely close is some serious handwaving. ICE is acting a LOT like the Gestapo. Trum…

On the other hand, if privatizing ATC is one of your goals, this is probably an effective way to force the issue. (Current Airline Pilot here, definitely NOT in favor of privatizin…

Genuine question not from a judgy space but from an interested one.. what motivates you to do this? I feel like I would find the pat down far more invasive than someone seeing a so…

I did a chunk of my primary training back when I was 21, but as often happens, I got to around the cross country solo portion and ran out of money and life priorities changed.. unf…

I've been without an IT gig for the last year, though it had nothing to do with the overall tech market tightening. Prior to my gig ending, I'd already made the decision to change …

I'm not sure why you find it distracting, it's an on point extension of the scenario. There are rules by which companies are supposed to operate, and evaluations (audits, for examp…

I'm just about to start my new job as an airline pilot at 46. I didn't primarily decide to career shift away from IT because of AI, but it was definitely a consideration.

Your personal choice is fine for you. My personal choice is to enjoy a cup or two of coffee per day, because I love the way it tastes, not because I want or need the caffeine. I cu…

I personally love the taste of coffee. If decaffeinated were able to achieve the same flavors, I'd be quite happy with it. Unfortunately, it doesn't taste at all the same.

The use of "bifocal contact lenses" is not allowed. Bifocal glasses are fine.

More than half? Source? Trump may well win this election. But there’s no scenario under which he’s going to also win the popular vote while doing it, at least none that I’ve heard …

You aren't quite right here. Temperature inversions are when the atmosphere warms as you go up instead of cools. The atmosphere usually cools at a fairly constant rate as you go up…
