    Let me add to the terror…

    As they use nitrogen for the pressure, It’s very easy to pass out from hypoxia if you are near -or- in an open one. Good luck hearing the the door-closing alarms when you are unconscious as the computer seals the chamber.

    Buddy systems and O2 sensors are generally mandatory because of this.





  • And then have the audacity to accuse the other side of “prejudice” and lack of “critical thinking skills.”

    Hey, all I’m doing was explaining the holes in the implied logic that rental cars are unnecessary.

    Oi, and if you are able to read between the lines and notice word/grammar choices, you would notice what the undertone of using “pick’em up” conveys.

    Then… they can get their family to come pick’em up in their pickup truck.

    As it is, I’d rather ride around on my board, but it’s not really feasible in most situations for me.



  • So, someone’s sister who works in a 100% remote IT job and who moved to a quiet rural town to raise her family is supposed to pick up and fit 5 people (including luggage) in her early 90’s Civic hatchback from the closest airport/train station that’s 100-200mi (160-320km) away?

    I’d suggest that you work on your prejudice and critical thinking skills, as how that comment was worded was uncalled for and easy to poke holes in the logic of. You have to keep in mind that not everyone who lives in a quiet and isolated (even possibly self-sufficient) town is the stereotypical blue-collar farmhand that is commonly displayed by the media.
