You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. You're trying to claim that two seats next to each other can be in different sections, that one is economy while the one right next to it is First Class, and that's tota

Perhaps, but according to the Trump fans, the right-wing outlets are completely unbiased and trustworthy and don't have an agenda to push, and all the other ones are just completely making stuff up out of whole cloth.

These sound like good reasons not to live in a car-based, suburban lifestyle. People in Manhattan don't have these problems.

You'd be surprised; I've met plenty of people that talk about how much they like warm weather and want to move south for that reason. Personally, I lived in Arizona for a while and have no desire to live in a hot climate again.

That's not exactly what we're seeing with right-wing people. They will happily tell you that NYT, WaPo, CNN, AP, Reuters, etc. are all "fake news" because their far-right "news" sources tell them so.

Without furniture, how exactly do you propose that I use a computer workstation with 3 large monitors? Sit it all on the floor? That sounds like an ergonomics nightmare. Some of the furniture we have now is because pre-technological human

It sure seems like a lot of people could save a lot of time and trouble if we could easily replace these easily-injured human joints with superior artificial joints.

What I am claiming is that there's no difference in those two seats' prices at a given point in time. Yes, prices fluctuate, but that has nothing to do with the seats. When you purchase an economy ticket (assuming these two seat

If they attend a church, they are really odd for Japanese, since almost no Japanese are Christian (at least in Japan).

That's totally different from America, where police will get pissed and yell at you to get lost if you ask them for directions. (Speaking from personal experience)

Wow, this guy got a double life sentence plus 40 years for "money laundering, computer hacking, and conspiracy to traffic narcotics"? He could have gotten a lighter sentence if he had carried out a mass shooting. And how did the

In Japanese cities, you don't need to drive if you're drunk, and you don't even need a car at all. Just get on the train/subway, or hail a taxi, or even walk. Drunk driving is a problem in the US because you can't

The same way they do now: by detecting whatever the attacker is using to sense and target them. Today, that's usually radar. In sci-fi, maybe it's tachyon beams or something.

Sorry, that's complete BS. Maybe you haven't taken a plane in a long time, but fares are by section only. Then, on the website, you get to pick your seat, AFTER you've chosen the section and fare. The price doesn't ch

Again, as I just wrote to the other responder, that has absolutely nothing to do with your seat location (within the same section). Seat 34F does not cost more than seat 35F.

Completely wrong. You're talking about the overall ticket price with addons; the things you refer to have nothing to do with seat location and quality. I already addressed this: first class, business class, economy plus, economy. Ot

That's fine: those people don't get priority status and have to wait until the qualified people leave until they can go.

That's why the crew should be enforcing the bag limits. One person is only supposed to have 1 carry-on, and it's supposed to be a relatively small size.

I can get my stuff out of the overhead bin in about 1 second. I have a better idea: people should have to go through qualification testing to see how fast they can grab their backpack out of the bin and start walking down the aisle. Fast p

Huh? No, that makes no sense at all. The fares are exactly the same in the entire section of the cabin, and only differ by section (i.e., business class costs more than economy, "economy plus" costs more than economy, etc.). Pl
