You sure about your height? I’m 6’3” and find it very painful in my knees when the person in front of me reclines, since the pivot point is too far below knee level. If I were to recline my seat, it doesn’t change that since reclining only affects your back.
There are many aircraft where if the person in front of me reclines, I am looking down on their head and find it easier to watch their screen than mine
Reclining seats don’t work that way. My knees are still the same place, my lap is still the same place, the tray is still the same place. All of them are infringed upon, even if I pay the entitlement back on the next poor soul, until the person in the non-reclining seat in the last row is screwed
Personally I see it like …. As a bigger guy, I can easily shove my way through a crowd so I’m not delayed demanding that I not perform that action because it is more convenient for you not to be pushed to the ground is … well … yes, I do feel like it is a good analogy. In both cases an entitled person is physically infringing on close personal space to cause pain and make someone else less comfortable, and potentially damage their devices. The difference is that one of these actions has entitled people thinking it’s ok
You might look at airline fees again. I’ve typically seen $50 or more. Even worse, since airlines now charge for everything, if I want both legroom and for my family to sit together, there are times when it would double my ticket price
But we don’t get priority on seats that fit. We used to but now airlines upcharge everything. Even if you can afford paying extra fees, they go fast: I have rarely seen them available.
FYI - on many planes the bulkhead isn’t even beneficial for tall people. The thing is it’s a flat wall. Even though there’s more room overall, there may be no place for feet/legs. Normal seats are much closer together, but there can be more room for your feet under the seat in front
So, just like you adjust to more room and comfort, the person behind you should adjust to less room, less comfort for your entitlement? Do you really see them the same?
No. Should not be allowed. For some reason airlines have been allowed to narrow that space more and more to the point where it’s just not reasonable to use. You are infringing on the person behind you. Sure it’s mainly the airlines fault, and the government regulators that are supposed to serve the people, but don’t be an asshole about basic human courtesy
As someone both big and tall, I have had people in front of me recline so my normal breathing is in their hair. I have to admit to playing that up to success. There’s nothing like some entitled asshole turning around to glare that someone is breathing in their hair, and suddenly realizing just how close the seats are and it’s their fault. My edgy revenge fantasy is to rest my novel on top of their head because it literally would be easier to read than in front of me
I don’t remember the movie but I recently saw one where the protagonist reversed his rifle, swung it like a bat, and sent the grenade back to the original thrower. It was good for a laugh
A battery with the current power density but increased longevity
…. Is exactly what we need. People bitch and moan about how difficult it is to replace phone batteries, but this would make it unnecessary. More importantly, all those people who replace their phones every 2-3 years as the battery stops lasting a full day, would no longer have that excuse. If we had increased longevity, there’d be less electronic waste as people keep their devices longer
Or think about things like grid storage - a lot of the high cost is how long they last, so increased longevity is critical for that investment to pay off.
Or v2g. People are finally coming around to trust that EV batteries will last longer than they will own an EV, ut most of us still don’t trust vehicle to grid connections to not unnecessarily age our vehicle battery
I always wondered about the approach I’ve seen in a couple movies …. Could you save yourself by tackling the bad guy onto the grenade and being on top of him. Aside from the impossibility of being in a situation where that makes sense, and reacting quickly enough, would the bad guy contain both the shards and the pressure enough to save everyone else?
because we all use 192.168.1.0/24 by default.
This is a bigger deal than you may think. Those of us stubborn enough to use one of the other defined internal network ranges already hit more obstacles than we should, and that difference should be trivial to non-existent.
For me the latest is a smart home device that hard-coded 192.168.1.x, so I am not able to connect it to my network
Adds a new wrinkle to the trolley problem
She drove that thing back into your closet and that’s the best you can do? She saved your whole family
Especially when you get down to insects, I imagine it as no thought, just programmed responses
What goes through the mind of a doorknob?
Most other celebrities at least have a reason to maybe they build a swasticar or monopolize the PC software market but there’s a reason they are rich and famous, even if you don’t like it
But why is kardassia? They are able to take up so much attention, so much time, so much of the internet, and make themselves ever richer, yet there doesn’t seem to be a reason, beyond the sex tape that kicked it off. They’ve somehow built a palace on a swamp and it hasn’t fallen over. They are the epitome of empty celebrity worship

My teen has used it recently …… he had no clue where it came from, and didn’t know there was a difference between CDs and DVDs
I guess, and hopefully we all understand we’re saying the same things …… but when I start with “ Everyone …” I don’t know how I could have worded it more inclusively. Oh well, time to drop the latest miscommunication and move on to the next
Not at all. I said putting a towel down is a good idea regardless. It’s just a generally useful strategy for all of us_
No one is against using one, I’m just saying that it’s not tied to vagina users. I mean it can be if tying is your thing but no need for anyone to get upset, feel targetted, or otherwise insulted. As a non-vagina person I see benefit for controlling my part of any messes and sleeping more comfortably after. That’s not mansplaining people who have other needs, it’s just including more use cases
Youre welcome. Can I help you with math next?
Or perhaps reading comprehension?
Very tempting, but I’ll take the knee pain preventing them from reclining, since there’s nothing I can do about it
