What route? I suspect space is the main factor - I'm usually on LAX or IAH to AKl and it's almost always full.

Air New Zealand does this as well, they also offer Premium Economy and "sky couches" (still in economy but you get a row of three seats that fold flat). I've heard of someone occasionally getting a good deal but usually you a

Most do have a colonial history though, a history often partly responsible for much of the strife we see today - was Italy not involved in Ethiopia/Eritrea/Somalia? And Greece certainly had political strife during the Cold war and

Thanks for the links. The second link is specifically about a US general going behind Obama's back in an attempt to escalate the conflict and the third even talks about how Russia is probably having similar conversations. I don't

I should have been more clear. By aggression I mean direct and overt military action. Courting a country for NATO isn't quite the same as actively invading. You are 100% correct that it's a game of cat and mouse.

Who said anything about slavery? We are talking about meddling in the political affairs of other countries and espionage. That's been going on ever since lines were drawn on a map.

Is there any credible evidence that the US/NATO was behind a coup in Ukraine? Google doesn't reveal anything substantial. Ukraine is/was a sovereign nation. Why should Russia stop them from joining NATO if that is what they w

Are you European by chance? If so, don't worry, your country also likely has a long history of meddling on local affairs either through colonialism or parts of the cold war, especially if you are British! Yes, the US has meddled in int

This is too sinple. Russia is actively pushing an agenda as well - the invasion of Ukraine and annexation of Crimea were not a response to US/NATO aggression. A new cold war has also been pushed domestically for the political benefit o

I'm skeptical about delivery drones for this reason. Between the noise, security concerns, and visual pollution it will be hard to implement mass adoption of UAV's for delivery.

Air travel means noise and carbon emissions. There is no way it's more efficient than ground based public transportation anytime soon. I work in the aviation industry and the slightest change brings a huge amount of public outcry. Betw

Height is the big advantage of SUV's and minivans. Kids stay in carseats much longer now and the seats can be quite bulky. It's a lot easier to load them into something with some height.

Ride height, more cabin space for kids, some use for four wheel drive if you live in a climate with snow/ice, and/or personal preference? I currently drive a civic so am just guessing...

Work from home several days a week after explicitly telling my immediate coworkers that I am "out to work on X". It works very well as long as you ignore non urgent requests (after reminding people you are unavailable).
