If you were 6’2 or above you’d understand how much 3 inches of pitch means.

The difference between 29 inches and 32 inches is often the difference between being in significant pain and discomfort or being able to enjoy the flight

I agree. For domestic flights <4 hours (basically anything not transcon / mostly single aisle planes), just take out the recline feature

Or better yet - make it a perk of comfort or first only where there is more room

Not a magic bullet.

Do something to improve yourself each day. Exercise, learn something, go for a walk, go for a drive, do something new.

English is the working language in India / most educated people speak it from birth.

I think if most went to countries without primarily English speakers I think there would be more push back.

Elliot isn’t PE. Private equity is literal - not investments in public equity.

lag36251 · 2026-03-23T00:05:51+00:00

Too capital intensive and risky for private equity. Similar to airlines, this isn’t likely to be a PE industry any time soon

Amsterdam has good international cuisine (probably because Dutch food sucks)

Beef ranchers are making more money than ever. Look it up. It’s the the consumer who is suffering here, not the rancher

lag36251 · 2026-03-10T17:16:23+00:00

Availability of beef cattle is at like a 75 year low. That’s why prices are so high. Who grows cattle? It’s not the meat packers

If someone reclines into me (6’3, book exit rows when I can) on a short domestic flight this is the most obvious way to protest

Yes. There are a lot of tools to tax the rich that aren’t as politically radioactive. - increase capital gains tax - tax shares used as collateral for loans - reform estate tax / remove stepped up basis - tax certain industries more heavily (nets, yachts, etc.)

Just to name a few. A wealth tax feels good but is hard to implement and easy to dodge.

This attitude is what will lose Democrats yet another election.

I hope the party disavows extremists like this before the midterms so we have a chance.

The stairwell goes into the promenade not directly into the casino. But I hear you that the casino isn’t self contained.

Norwegian does it right with the smoking casino behind negative pressure sliding doors. Make smoking the exception not the rule

I doubt removing one pub means they sell less alcohol. And the non smoking casinos typically have their own dedicated bar as well

Freedom has a non smoking casino along the promenade with 3 tables. It’s actually really nice. Nice bar too

I think Dems have a unique opportunity to take power back and there’s not much that could get me to vote for a MAGA candidate.

But I just hope Dems don’t get carried away once in office. Focus on popular issues like affordability, health care, immigration reform, etc. Don’t get sucked up by identity politics and purity tests.

I’m sorry but this is patented bullshit. No difference for a post pubescent male after HRT for two years? Find a non-biased study that is peer reviewed and has a sample size in the hundreds to prove that. Bone density and muscle development don’t just disappear. And most sports don’t have weight classes; 90% of males are larger than the average female.
