Yet another reason not to fly

Yet another reason not to fly

The sad thing is as I actually like flying. I think it's cool. all the bullshit around it just subtracts from it mightily. I'm pretty sure that if I travel to other states in this country I will probably be more likely to drive depending on how much time I have to do the trip.

Short distance commercial flying sucks. By the time you've driven to the airport and gone through the nonsense, you could have been well on the way to your location. Long distance domestic flying used to be nice, but the government found a way to screw that up too. Today, the only reason I'd fly in a non-"emergency" situation is if I was moving out of the country.

These will be coming here if we don't stop it from happening:

A new speed camera that employs the latest digital technology is being rolled out across the UK.

The new and advanced ‘ultra’ speed camera called the Jenoptik VECTOR-SR works differently from our usual speed cameras.

They can now look inside vehicles, meaning they can catch you for more than just speeding.

The VECTOR-SR operates without flashing, which means you won’t know if you’ve been detected or not...

...Doubling as a red-light camera, the new technology detects motorists for more than just speeding.

These cameras will snap motorists who aren’t wearing a seatbelt and motorists using a mobile phone at the wheel.

Unlike traditional cameras, it doesn’t require road markings, the cameras operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

It uses infrared low-light technology which allows images to be captured via still photos and video recordings. This eliminates the need for a camera flash, even at night and in bad weather conditions...

More than 5.2 million aboveground swimming pools sold across the U.S. and Canada over the last two decades are being recalled after nine drowning deaths were reported.

The recall covers a range of Bestway, Intex Recreation and Polygroup pools that were sold by major retailers as far back as 2002. According to Monday notices published by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada, these pools have compression straps running along the outside of the product — which “may create a foothold” for small children and allow them to access the water unattended...

They should never have gone away from cane sugar (and glass bottles, at least for the 2 liter size) in the first place, so it's good to see some change back in the right direction:

Coca-Cola announced Tuesday it will offer both the high fructose corn syrup option and a cane sugar version of Coke in the U.S. after President Donald Trump pressured the brand, the company announced in a Tuesday earnings report.

“As part of its ongoing innovation agenda, this fall in the United States, the company plans to launch an offering made with U.S. cane sugar to expand its Trademark Coca-Cola product range,” Coca-Cola wrote in its second quarter earnings report.

The new cane sugar Coke will debut in the U.S. in the fall of 2025, according to the earnings report...

Target is daring customers to shop somewhere else, after they've announced that they will be getting rid of their price-match policy.

Beginning Monday, July 28, Target will no longer match competitors such as Amazon or Walmart when it comes to the price of their products. The store chain will continue to match prices internally among other Target stores, within a 14-day period...

I've seen these test videos a bunch of times. I actually tried to copy the McDonald's one.


The test didn't turn out anything like these claims. The McDonald's was rotting and nasty in a hurry.

The McDonald's was rotting and nasty in a hurry.

From the moment they handed it to you.

Thanks for the corrected information.
One thing that is true though as ever since I was a kid there has been food that you would have expected to rot that can just sit there forever. my mom actually bought a pie that she had for like years without rotting.she was so fascinated with it.
