Well if the 2nd to last row can’t recline because the last row doesn’t recline, then the 3rd to last row shouldn’t recline since the 2nd to last row doesn’t recline, and the 4th to last row shouldn’t recline…
Either no rows recline or set the seats so that rows which can’t recline have a little extra space in front of them.
Um I already solved this problem.
My solution is better.
You are wrong. DUCY?
No, but I’m fully prepared for the bad math and misapplied logic. Come at me brah.

They’re sitting in coach. They’re both losers.
If you’re tall and a bit overweight like me, pay extra for the emergency row seat if you have to sit coach.
I may have underestimated
Sometimes I think man I’m poor, and then I hear about horrors such as these.
Mr. Falk began his career on the local control side of that debate. But somewhere along the Deer Hill odyssey, he started to sympathize with his insurrectionist opponents. His son lived in San Francisco and paid a fortune to live with a pile of roommates. His daughter was a dancer in New York, where the housing crunch was just as bad. It was hard to watch his kids struggle with rent and not start to think that maybe Ms. Trauss had a point.
“I’m not sure individual cities, left to their own devices, are going to solve this,” he told me once. “They don’t have the incentive to do so, because local voters are always going to protect their own interests instead of looking out for people who don’t live there yet.”
So he started to rebel. When California’s governor at the time, Jerry Brown, threatened to override local control with a proposal to allow developers to build urban apartments “as of right” — bypassing most of the public process and hearings — Lafayette citizens were apoplectic. Mr. Falk, against his own interest, wrote a memo in favor of the idea.
“Cannot be trusted,” “ineptitude,” “disingenuously manipulating the City Council,” “should be publicly and explicitly reprimanded” — these were some of the things citizens said in response. His future was untenable. The City Council reprimanded him, and when it came time for his contract negotiation, members of Save Lafayette protested a clause that would guarantee him severance of 18 months of pay if he was ever fired; a few months later he forfeited the amount — close to half a million dollars — and resigned.
Just giving up a million dollars for a moral stance that more houses should be built in California
That’s flying for you. Nickel and dime your ass to death.
I enjoy riding on trains a million times more than flying.
“We don’t think voting eligibility should come with a price,” said ACLU Iowa lobbyist Daniel Zeno.
“This is not a poll tax,” Dawson said. “It’s a murder tax. It’s a sexual assault tax. It’s a robbery tax…We’re not talking about people who randomly just got charged with felonies. We’re talking about persons who made an affirmative decision to go out and commit a serious crime.”
Dawson added not all felons are ordered to pay victim restitution.
Currently, felons applying to the governor’s office just have to show they’re keeping up with a payment plan to get their voting rights back.
Reynolds has previously said did not support policies that would make it harder than it already is to be able to vote again.
Lobbyist Kelly Meyers said the Iowa County Attorneys Association favors the restitution requirement.
“It’s the prosecutor’s job to seek truth and justice,” Meyers said. “And this would be justice on the part of the victim.”
What does paying restitution to the victim have to do with voting? It’s like saying you can’t vote if you get sued or something. It makes no sense.
It’s been a while since I was on a train. I enjoyed going to the tracks as a kid to watch them come in and out.
What’s the longest train ride you’ve been on? How is the service? Does modern train travel have any comparison to air travel?
I’ve done the Amtrak and Acela up and down the east coast a few times. It’s fine. I’d rather take a 3-4 hour train than a 1 hour flight (after factoring in security and boarding and waiting for luggage trains don’t take that much longer anyways).
Went from Boston to Chicago once. Took like 30 hours. Not too bad, you can sleep, the chairs are great. Brought a box of wine on and just drank and played video games on my laptop all my waking hours.
That is a really good point. Is security and boarding for trains that easy and fast?
By chance do you think such a train is likely to cause motion sickness for a person who can’t travel on small planes or boats without becoming violently nauseous?
I don’t really get motion sickness but my guess is: large planes >> trains >>>>> small planes >>>>>>> boats
Took a 14 hour train ride in China from Nanjing to Xian during National Day.
Since there was no maximum occupancy laws, they packed as many people into the train as possible. There were literally people standing in the bathroom stall. I paid extra for the bullet train back to Wuhan from Beijing a few weeks later after that experience.
There was no security at all on any trip I’ve taken. This was like six years ago though.
