Hunter Thompson

Since you mentioned it, let's take a moment to enjoy some Hunter S Thompson

quote:

It seems like a lifetime, or at least a Main Era � the kind of peak that never comes again. San Francisco in the middle sixties was a very special time and place to be a part of. Maybe it meant something. Maybe not, in the long run... but no explanation, no mix of words or music or memories can touch that sense of knowing that you were there and alive in that corner of time and the world. Whatever it meant...

There was madness in any direction, at any hour. You could strike sparks anywhere. There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning...

And that, I think, was the handle � that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of Old and Evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn't need that. Our energy would simply PREVAIL. There was no point in fighting � on our side or theirs. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave...

So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high water mark � that place where the wave finally broke, and rolled back.

It's too bad that Amtrak is screwed to the point where the connections they offer are roundabout or just inefficient. I took the train from Montreal to NYC and it was really cheap! There was plenty of legroom, it was relaxed, and I swear to God our conductor was actually name Albert Weskar. But it was also 11 hours because of a 2 hour stop in Albany. I don't think most people travelling to NYC from Montreal want to stop in Albany, they just want to get to NYC! But that's how it worked.

They also had a train to Boston that took 5 hours which isn't too bad, but that got cancelled, and there's no direct bus service so you have to catch a ride with someone or rent a car which is really weird.

.

Yo why does it cost like $600 to fly from Boston to Montreal?

Dr. Faustus posted:

It's entirely up to the bean-counters. How is the economy? We shut down some service to Vegas during the recession because, "Who has money to fly out and then gamble?"

Fuel costs: Airlines hedge against these to protect profits (if they make any) and sometimes they do well, sometimes they don't.

Consolidation: Wait for a competitor to get bogged down in poor management and legacy costs and go into bankruptcy, then try to acquire them while they are in bankruptcy so you can charge off debts, renegotiate contracts, sell off unneeded gate space/aircraft/materiel, and hire or furlough depending on the new airline's situation.

I worked as a vender for US Airways when America West bought them. That same team is now becoming the new American Airlines. It is a messy procedure and people get screwed, some people get rewarded; but overall in the current climate consolidation is actually a good thing for the airlines (all of them) because things have changed so drastically since 9/11.

Here's the beginning of a breakdown of how the accountants decide what routes are profitable enough to keep, what size aircraft to use, etc: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airline_cost_glossary

It surely works similarly in the trains and bus transportation industries.

Wow, thanks. That was a way more credible answer then I imagined

So I'm helping my family clean out my Grandfather's apartment, and found most of his Republican memorabilia. Life membership pins, commemorative presidential coins, and a few other things. I don't think my Uncles (one's a docent at the GWB Presidential Library, the other's pretty GOProud too), my pretty non-political aunt, or my liberal mother want any of it. Do anyone here have any ideas what I should do with it?

That depends on your definition of amazing. If by amazing you mean truly innovative, genre-altering music, then no, because everything in the top 40 you haven't heard before has been almost certainly done by someone else who never made it to the charts. Also music effectively ended in 1952 because you're never going to hear anything more antithetical to the entire concept of music than 4'33".

If by amazing you mean you enjoy listening to it because it sounds good, then there's totally lots of amazing music out there! This also means there's amazing music on every chart because it's a subjective measurement that doesn't define anything except your own personal taste and culture.

This is like saying that Art ended in 1917 because DuChamp put a urinal in a gallery

Wasn't Dale supposed to be a guy you could seriously believe would blow up an IRS building early on and not just a wacky crazy guy?

It was a lot less obvious early on that he was completely cowardly and ineffectual and just wanted to be loved.

There's a great episode where he travels to Dallas and realizes the book depository faces north instead of south or whatever, so the lone gunman theory makes complete sense and the rest of the conspiracies he believed in are false too. This of course makes him an insufferable rah rah America guy and Hank can't deal with it. (Because it's 1999 or whatever and there are still honest, moderate republicans like him clinging to the last vestiges of sanity)

Also, on an unrelated topic, the GDR national anthem is really pretty, and I kind of wish Germany had kept it after the reunification, instead of the Deutschlandlied.

Alpha House is funny, moreso if you follow politics. Prime is worth it without Alpha House. (Get 4 friends and go in together on a "family" account. Your accounts are separate, Amazon never checks, and you get 2 day shipping for $17 a person for the year. Worth it for Christmas alone)
