Nobody, really. Dad/husband, airline pilot, small business owner, pretty much in that order. Skeptic, secular humanist, libertarian, pretty much in that order

@RussHogg I gave up on Waze. Made too many poor choices too often. Now I use Apple Maps as primary and Google Maps as backup.

Slow burn on this one, a like shows up every 6 or 8 months. I assume from folks googling something related.

@krelnik @waze If @UPS can have all their drivers turn right and save money and time. Then @waze can have a "mostly right turns" option.

Another great episode of ⁦⁦@MightyHeaton⁩ ‘s excellent podcast. Think Team Blue or Team Red represent coherent philosophies? The Left-Right spectrum is a harmful illusion that divides us. It should be discarded if we ever hope to solve anything. overcast.fm/+PUKw2dl6g

Government creates the problem, denies the problem, acknowledges the problem, blames others for the problem, adopts measures that make the problem worse, and then claims credit for at least doing something about the problem.

Pilot (to my 5-year-old daughter a few days ago): Do you know you could be a flight attendant when you grow up? 5: I could also own the plane.

@jjwinchester01 @DeidreHenderson @Delta She didn’t say, “You’re scheduling your pilots too close to the max.” She said, “Your pilots just walked off the plane.” As if they just did it at a whim. Poorly worded at best.

Hey @Delta, please get your act together and address your personnel problems. Your pilots just walked off a plane from JFK-SLC, stranding my friend who needs to get home ASAP to treat a life-threatening medical condition she discovered she has while on vacation this week. 🙏🏼

With the economy growing and help-wanted signs everywhere, and vaccines available, there is no basis for the CDC to block evictions -- even if the CDC had that authority, which it lacks. Walter Olson explains in The Washington Post: washingtonpost.com/opinions/lette…

Had to replace driveshaft on Volvo XC90 after only 47k miles. @VolvoCarUSA refused to cover it because it was over the 4yr mark. Frustrating that @volvocars wouldn't stand behind their product and remedy an obvious manufacturer's defect. Cost me $2,000. Very disappointing.

@kmanguward regarding your recommendation of the Andrea Beaty collection on the last Reason Roundtable podcast - for which ages do you think they'd be appropriate? I'm thinking my 9yo daughter might think they're too "little kid" for her.

‘The surest way to work up a crusade in favor of some good cause is to promise people they will have a chance of maltreating someone. To be able to destroy with good conscience — this is the height of psychological luxury, the most delicious of moral treats.’ - Aldous Huxley
