If you have a surplus of ridership (we don't in >95% of places), you can get efficiency gains by filling up a larger vehicle with the same 1 driver. Otherwise, there's things at the margins like in lane boarding & painted lanes that get you a few percentage point speed improvements.
Told my nephew while boarding the plane to Chicago last night: “If we were a proper country, we’d be taking the Illinois Central to Chicago. Maybe the L&N”
I feel like I need four hands - to juggle passport, boarding pass, carry on, wallet, etc going through security. At least I don't have to take my shoes off thanks to TSA pre-check. Still, that %^*$ing shoe-bomber *$$hole just really degraded air travel for us all.
Bill Vaughn's "The Plot Against Native America" bills itself as "the first narrative history revealing the entire story" of these boarding schools. That would make it an important book — if only its narrative weren't such an odd, disjointed mess.
Bill Vaughn's 'The Plot Against Native America' is on the right side of history, but an editor and a sharper focus would have helped.
Ich steh am Flughafen beim Boarding, soll ich die 10-Minuten-Version von All to well loslegen? Hehe
Walking from security straight to boarding. I don't know how to feel.
The same Helen Andrews that supports people who deny that imperial Japan raped women in "comfort stations", and claims that the boarding schools indigenous people were forced into wasn't cultural genocide but rather a good thing? wild that she'd write something so racist.
Flughäfen machen was mit der Zeitwahrnehmung: Jemand wünscht mir, dass ich nicht so lange überall warten müsse und ich antworte beruhigend, dass ja nur noch das Boarding fehle, und das fange erst in einer Stunde an. Erst dann geht mir auf, dass ich gerade eine Stunde aufs Boarding *warte*.
