Quote I’m pondering thanks to Tim Ferriss’ pondering it ...
“If we can forgive what’s been done to us… If we can forgive what we’ve done to others… If we can leave our stories behind. Our being victims and villains. Only then can we maybe rescue the world.”
— Chuck Palahniuk

I've just watched an episode of The Wiggles where they're singing about, and boating in, The Big Red Boat. In this episode Anthony is assuming the position of captain, which is confusing, because for the first time in the entire show this is clearly a place where Captain Feathersword was the most qualified person for the job.
Why is Captain Feathersword landlocked even when The Wiggles go on the seven seas?
What's the real story with Captain Feathersword?

Every airline’s business class is just an upper class hostel in the sky, and the frequent flyer lounge is just an upper class hostel kitchen, free to those who frequent the hostel.
Convince me otherwise.

You’ve got to read this LA Times report on how toxic jet engine fumes have been making their way into airplane’s air supplies FOR DECADES AND THE AVIATION INDUSTRY KNEW?! wtf.
For decades, the airline industry and its regulators have known about these incidents — called fume events — and have maintained that they are rare and that the toxic chemical levels are too low to pose serious health risks.
