Great article but begs the question, how much is a helicopter ride for 4 from New Haven to JFK?
- vonklaus 11y agoAround $2,460, at least[0]. Also, I suspect you pay for fuel and time although I have never rented a helicopter. There is also a fee from Magic for booking through them. [0]http://www.newyorkhelicopter.com/charters/charter-rates/ http://www.newyorkhelicopter.com/charters/charter-rates/ edit: > All additional expenses will be passed on at cost landings, parking, late operations, overnight expenses or other charges directly incidental to the flight requested. > Charter prices are one-way and don’t include Landing Fees from the Manhattan Heliports. A fee for landing at JFK was likely levied.

- phaemon 11y agoOutside of the Internet, every single time I have every seen "begs the question" used, it means "raises the question". TV, newspapers, magazines, radio, common speech. Every single time. Therefore, that's what the phrase means. I have no idea where this American obsession with tying it to a technical term for a fallacy comes from, but I wish it would stop. It's as though every time someone referred to a ram, whether a male sheep or a battering ram, they were informed that "RAM means Random Access Memory. You're using it wrong."

- schoen 11y agoSince the sense referring to the fallacy is the original one and the non-fallacy sense is the innovation, your analogy about "ram" isn't ideal.
