How was a man sleeping across their seats during boarding? I have a hard time imagining a person doing this and not being told not to be a flight attendant. They make multiple passes up and down the cabin telling people to sit up with their

Over many years of writing JavaScript, I've come to generally avoid the issues regarding `this` by preferring a functional style of programming instead of OO. I don't get away from OO completely and sometimes OO is the "goode
