Carteret posted:Alot could be said for Niki Lauda surviving his crash and then coming back, but freaking the gently caress out about safety and forcing the FIA to make changes MrMojok posted:Already answered, but I wanted to add that one thing that really gave them a kick in the rear end to get serious about safety was the Imola race of 1994. But there are relatively few deaths listed in the 80s and 90s, after a pile going up to '78.

Lemniscate Blue posted:Not disagreeing with you but I'm not sure we USians ought to be throwing that particular stone from our decidedly glassy house. The US system creates less democratic results, sure, but the procedural absurdity of UK politics is more like if the Senate was My Little Pony themed. Just centuries of weird roleplay that these grown people take seriously.

CRUSTY MINGE posted:That's kind of how I feel about it. They'll have to prep a batch to fill deeper tracks and roll over it, but mostly it's an economic story in the sense that "oh no planes can't land how on earth will the airport make up revenue" because of the heat wave. It's a military base, you would assume readiness outweighs cost cutting.

Arrath posted:How in the blue gently caress could punitive measures against tenants, like eviction, be a reasonable move against delinquent landlords? That makes no fuckin sense. Are you suggesting the privatizing and deregulating the housing and utility markets would inevitably adversely impact lower income renters? Who could have seen this coming!

Stultus Maximus posted:Anyone who takes that will find out why those schools are desperate enough to hire unqualified vets. Like every other "labor shortage" situation, it's unwillingness to pay for qualified labor. Cheaper to throw in some people who have never had anything even similar to training on childhood education. Hopefully no one with enhanced interrogation training is in the hiring pool. The military spouses provision is especially insane. No one in the planning process for this law pointed out that is absolutely not a qualification for anything?

Milo and POTUS posted:There is pretty much nothing truly bad you can say about the US parks system outside quibbles The genocide was mostly done by then, but Native Americans got pushed off indigenous land to create some of them. And like almost everything else in the United State that dates to the 19th century, depending on the specific time and state there was no lack of segregation for employees and visitors. A lot of parks Black and Latino Americans just plain weren't allowed into. e: For the record US national parks are awesome and everyone should go visit them. Zion NP

Maybe RyanAir really is that bad compared to the others, but I'm not sure y'all are using the Euro budget airlines right. They're not good for long flights, traveling with family, or really doing anything serious. But if you want to gently caress off to somewhere for a long weekend that's within a couple hours on a plane, it's nice to be able to do that for ~$100 - it's a party bus. Don't take a big bag, drop any expectations, you'll still (probably) get there. Last time I took a Saturday evening EasyJet flight from Barcelona to Nice, most of the plane was pregaming for that evening while the flight attendants were leading party games. Carry-on size limits or limited seat pitch did not come up.
