    What does a burst sound like and why are you damning it?

    Which was absolutely stupid. Why would anyone think you'd fire a gun out of a gun?

    Huh? Copyright expires in 30 years doesn't it? It's WAY older than that.

    Which is placed there for the use of the passengers anyway! I and hundreds of other passengers I've seen have used these sockets, that is precisely why they are there!

  5. Re:Simple Geometry?? on Simple Geometry = More Seats In an Airline · · Score: 1

    Flipping the middle seat doesn't allow the rows to be closer together. The person in front and behind you is still facing in your direction. However, you are narrower as your hips are not next to your left and right neighbour's hips. Draw a diagram to work it out....

    Who cares?

  7. Re:I'd go for being stuffed in a tube on Simple Geometry = More Seats In an Airline · · Score: 1

    Last time I travelled on a jet, I felt massive acceleration as it took off. After that it was very calm indeed. Nothing like enough to knock you out of your seat.

    Those are less common.

    If people stopped heating their homes so much and realised they're warm blooded, we'd need way less of it.

  10. Re:Simple Geometry?? on Simple Geometry = More Seats In an Airline · · Score: 1

    Wrong. The spacing between rows remains the same, as you're still facing the same way as the person in front and behind you. But you're closer to the person to the left and right of you. Well your feet are closer to their hips anyway. They're increasing the number of people they can fit across the width of the plane.

  11. Obesity on Simple Geometry = More Seats In an Airline · · Score: 1

    You'd fit more people in if you banned anyone who's fat from travelling.

    Planes only accelerate once.

  13. Re:So will stacking us vertically on Simple Geometry = More Seats In an Airline · · Score: 1

    I guess you don't like train seats with a table and two seats on each side of it facing each other then? I've never had a problem with this.

  14. It's crazy that one state has a different law to another. If something is "right" in one state, as it's legal, then the other state must have it's laws wrong. Getting done for something because the opinion of the local lawmakers differs is just stupid. Laws should be the same everywhere, on things that everyone agrees on, like murder is wrong.

  15. The way state laws change I have always found absurd. How often do people accidentally break laws they didn't know about when travelling?

  16. They cannot all be right as they are all different. Someone in America thinking it's disgusting to fuck a 17 year old is incorrect, as we do it all the time in the UK.

  17. It's 16 in the UK. It's 18 in the USA. It's 13 in Spain. They can't all be right.

  18. It's laughable how worked up people get about child "molestation", 1000 times more than any other crime.

  19. But what age is a child? It varies from 13 to 18 in different countries. And why do you believe children are too stupid to decide to consent or not?

  20. Re:Maths much? on 8 Yelp Reviewers Hit With $1.2 Million Defamation Suits · · Score: 1

    That shouldn't be possible with someone posting anonymously. No identification information should be held on the server. People should be able to make reviews without fear of backlash. And aren't the courts sensible enough to know what a review is? The whole idea is they are not all good ones! That's how reviews work!

    Do we care? I hand my wifi password out to my neighbours. All they can do is get free internet, which is there anyway.

    If you need to be told when a car is in your way, you shouldn't be driving in the first place.

    Speed should not be shown. I never even look at my regular speedo. I look at the road. I select my own safe speed.

    In the UK, we sort our recycling. I have 5 containers collected from my home between 1 and 3 weekly.

    It has never been illegal to make your own copy. And nobody would ever know anyway. Why was this law even created?
