I’m not comparing American to Qatar airways.

Qatar is the best in the world because it’s government subsidized with natural gas (not oil) revenues. That’s why I didn’t put it in my comparison. It’s apples to oranges

I compared American domestic carriers. And I excluded budget airlines like Frontier or Spirit because that’s also comparing apples to oranges

When comparing comparable airlines, United/American/Delta to Southwest/Alaskan, the former lag behind in every significant category other than passengers and routes served. And that’s because they’re the only option often. And they’re also subsidized by the government like Qatar airways to operate these routes

Despite subsidization, and increased competition both from within and outside of their market niche, they still remain depressingly underwhelming business ventures that the free hand of the market would wipe out if the government would redirect those airline subsidies to high speed rail construction

I've never understood the desire for burgers that you can't even fit in your mouth. Isn't the point of the burger to take a bite that mixes all of the ingredients together all at once? This makes it impossible to eat that way so you end up with bites that are mostly bread, mostly meat, mostly veggies, etc.

I don't get it.

Looks nice but I'd prefer only one patty.

Nice.

Unreal. What a universe we live in.

Agreed. It now is to me.

Do you understand how expensive flying was back in the day…like no, American Airlines is not going to give you a first class experience like Emirates, but you’re also not paying $20,000 for a ticket from an airline subsidized with billions in oil revenue

Yup. Imagine being the scale inspector at the Stanley factory, and your supervisor starts asking you uncomfortable questions about how this one got out the door...

Not the only thing that was huge…

This is easily the coolest thing I've seen in a while. I'd love to go check it out.

That was pretty pivotal, not only because it destroyed her career, but all the crackdowns on public television and radio content were huge..

So freaking pretty!!

Like magnetic island Australia? Off Townsville?

>How the hell do you get supplies like food?

They used to use trebuchets to lob supplies through the windows but they now use high powered T-shirt cannons.

Why should the definition matter at all?

Americans typically use imperial because it plays nicely with most other things in the US that use imperial, not because of some vendetta against the metric system. As easy as the metric system may be, it's a lot harder to use a different system than almost everything around you.

Maybe they sold it to a museum in another country.

They never stop working. Best ever!

I count 2 halves, halved and quartered.

We know. We just don’t care.

I question things all of the time for this reason.

Or a town where there’s not one

fr tho, how did they build that?

Obviously we’re looking at two very different things. Each to their own I guess.

Sorry you had to drive on that we are getting another round of snow in SW Colorado right now. Very cool ice formation on the wheel! Thanks for sharing it.
