can't wait for satellite to some day be robust and cheap enough to utterly destroy the notion of municipal internet. probably not in my lifetime, but hey, my 4g is cheap enough for my current uses :)

What you are describing is precisely the same situation I had when I lived in an apartment building next to a long-term tenant . She simply didn't give a shit about the noise and trash she generated and all of us had to deal with it.

I agree, but what I think I mean is, whatever theyre making on my direct deposit (probably $10 a month in fees to my employer) is less than the 0.83% of xx,xxx in my checking :) I would surely love 2% on my checking though! I thought 2% was

And it is entirely because the powers that be have rigged the market so that they can charge whatever they want. How have they accomplished this? First, they set strict quotas on who can be a doctor. Then, they set strict quotas on who can

Highly agreed my friend. I have never ever been charged a single fee for anything by my credit union. I've been there for 10 years now. Aside from the money they make loaning out my deposits there, I don't think they've ever

In the USA, not meeting minimum deposit requirements, having a bad credit history or trackrecord with banks, not paying monthly fees, and not knowing how to use a computer can all preclude someone from being able to qualify or use a bank ac

As someone who routinely had to hide from truant officers during high school, I turned out completely fine. My grades were bad at first, but shockingly, once I was allowed to sleep in until 10AM because my first 4 classes of the day were &q

Does it have any choice? The official FAA incidents log has US pilots stating that the MAX is different to fly from normal 737s... ...and using their own words, is "unsafe!" to fly without additional training. It is unsafe to fly

Crony capitalists (what I would call mercantilists) certainly do not care about the will of the people. They are tyrants who hide behind a word they are corrupting. However I will defend to the death my right to exchange goods with you. I&#

This is why junk yards and small businesses are a true blessing. I can pay someone $500 to put a $1000 engine into my car and get another 100,000 miles out of it, rather than "sorry that's not allowed, please go to the dealership

Spare me. The pilots themselves have stated that they were completely unprepared to fly the plane safely in any condition with 0 training or warning.

The French govt threw a pretty big fit about the Concorde, unwilling to admit it was "unsafe", but eventually gave up on the plane for "commercial" reasons. Aerospatiale was literally state-owned by the French.

This is excellent data and calculation work. I really appreciate it! I have a suspicion that if you were to remove all instances of terrorism and look at the crash rate of Boeing vs Tupolev, almost all Boeing planes would be way better exc

I agree, in my eyes it is debate between "the plane is not safe to fly by anyone" and "the plane is safe to fly with additional training, when given" If the 737 MAX planes remain in the air in the USA, Boeing and US Govt

Two crashes in 6 months and there's only 350 planes in existence is a pretty bad safety record that is probably on par with Tupolev. The US can tacitly blame "third world" pilots all they want, but with 300 people dead alread

Agree, but what I meant by more expensive was the new plane costs more than if they just kept making the old design through 2019. Fuel savings and etc is always nice to strive for, but now human lives and insurance companies and airline com

If that's true, that sounds like a thorough nightmare. Nothing gets me more heated than when an 85% perfect design with decades of real world use is replaced with something that is demonstrably broken + more expensive, simply because o
