It's allowed to persist because they've self-medicated and conditioned to not care. It was started because of fear ... so I agree that Brave New World is absolutely a more appropriate context in which we can frame ourselves.

I agree that the logistics involved are not that simple. However, it _does_ appear to be a regular occurrence at SeaTac and there's not much that's different (went through that 3 times in 2 months and the experience was the same e

Yes. It's insanely inefficient, but some spots are better than others. Seattle has some very real, physical bottlenecks that cause very long delays. We thought we were safe with a 6 hour layover, but we very nearly missed our connectio

Pretty sure the A350 does this as well. Asiana also uses the LED lighting modes to great effect and it was explained to me as another way to reduce long haul fatigue

Seattle struggles mightily with this. Four international heavy flights arriving within 45 minutes of each other and you are stuck in customs for six hours

wouldn't it make sense that this would be one of the metaphors upon which tolkien drew from his time in the british army? i seem to recall some bit of information that these subtle images were inspired by objects and events during that

> It's a good idea, but facebook can't be trusted. In my opinion it seems like the foundations for a Patron/Client relationship. Those typically only really work out for the two parties involved.

The pervasive belief that how it looks is better than how it works. End-users can be conditioned to wait for the application to catch up if it looks nice. If it's ugly, most folks will simply lose interest. I prefer functionality over

Currently reading "The Storm Before the Storm" and, though (or perhaps because) it is quite detailed with great depth, it's an enjoyable and engaging read. I highly recommend it.

I've often wondered if there was a way to detect bias in officiating. Naturally there's going to be subjective element to the types of penalties called, but I also have wondered if there was a way to detect bias in the situations

It's inherent in the functionality of The Points Guy's business model. Write pieces to bolster the various vendor's image. On the positive side, TPG isn't tied to any one particular vendor and does a good job of highligh

Why is this downvoted so heavily? It's a legitimate opinion. I don't agree with it and you may not either, but it highlights the fact that for at least a portion of the user base the default browser may be an acceptable option.

Timely post as I sit in Seoul on holiday in the midst of their hottest summer. It's the hottest, muggiest, most sticky heat I've experienced and air conditioning is driving the majority of my experiences right now.
