      Traveling abroad

      I'm sure Capital One Venture is fine. I have the Chase Sapphire Preferred - not the Reserve, because I already have other high-AF cards and don't need another, redundant one. (Note that all the ones I listed do not charge foreign transaction fees.)

      Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapses in Baltimore

      A smart terrorist would do the same thing at the same time at multiple choke-point locations. Something like this is way too high-visibility to do "test" runs. (And maybe Mayor Pete, instead of decrying racist overpasses, can look into seeing where similarly vulnerable bridges need dolphins...

      Traveling abroad

      If you can swing it, get a (high AF) Platinum AmEx or a Chase Sapphire Reserve or a (low AF) Chase Sapphire Preferred or Capital One Venture. All should let you add your wife as an Authorized User (for a separate, usually lower, annual fee). All should provide travel insurance, cover foreign...

      Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapses in Baltimore

      What narrative? Since when, and by whom, is there an official narrative? NTSB hasn't even had the chance to get on the ship yet, last I knew. How can there possibly be a narrative?

      Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapses in Baltimore

      I did try to phrase that in a way so as not to imply that I was referring to anything you have said/believe. I haven't said that it wasn't a terror attack. I have said that, thus far, there is no evidence that it was or could have been a terrorist attack. As for "government explanations": I'm...

      Traveling abroad

      I'm more than a little bit surprised that you can't add her as an Authorized User to your credit card. Do you have a typical travel card, such as an AmEx Platinum, Chase Sapphire Reserve, or similar? (You'd want a card designed for international travel, to avoid currency exchange fees.)...

      Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapses in Baltimore

      Given what is currently known and unknown, claiming that this incident was a terror attack is more akin to claiming that the moon landing was faked or that 9/11 was an inside job. Pointing out demonstrably false claims ("the ship wasn't in the channel", "there were no harbor pilots on board")...

      Why the hate for Cyclists?

      No, you're clearly not serious.

      Why the hate for Cyclists?

      I actually brought up bike lanes up-thread. But do go on. :rolleyes:

      Exactly. This is the Occam's razor application. If a terrorist were going to hijack a ship's steering, it would just drive it full-power into the bridge support.

      Daylight Saving Time

      You're talking about the clock. "Clock" != "Time". A clock is a means of sub-dividing time. Sorry to break it to you, though; but the 24-hour day long predates railroads. The Egyptians first used a 24-hour day, and 13th-century Muslims first used a sundial subdivided into 24 hours.

      Why the hate for Cyclists?

      Evasiveness? :rolleyes: Do you need me to say it yet again? I'll say it yet again: I stated a rather inelegant absolute, that you refuted, and I acknowledged. So, how, exactly, am I being evasive?

      Why the hate for Cyclists?

      You're not that far off of the only point I've ever made related to this topic: that roads are designed for motor vehicles, but that cyclists have every right to use the road - and while that may cause inefficiency/frustration, everyone needs to figure out how to share the road respectfully. If...

      Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapses in Baltimore

      And those things, presumably, can happen while the ship is under power, no? Nothing about blowing the ship's power to accomplish any of that?

      Daylight Saving Time

      Time is certainly not a "man-made construct". How time is measured and divided is, at least in part, a man-made construct. There are some natural, physical/astronomical, constructs on how time is measured: days as based on the rotation of the earth, months as based on the orbit of the moon...

      Why the hate for Cyclists?

      Sure. If your sole purpose was to prove me wrong on a technicality, mission accomplished. You were right and I was wrong, and I acknowledged that and conceded the point. I'll keep conceding it, if necessary. I actually have no problem admitting when I'm wrong. Now, to the underlying point: is...

      Daylight Saving Time

      You are free to do whatever you prefer. The question is why everyone should be forced to change clocks to accommodate your personal preference?

      Daylight Saving Time

      Well, that's how dew works. There can be other, localized conditions (evaporation from earlier rain or lawn watering, etc.) of course. But until the air temperature drops below the dew point (which is a function of humidity), dew will not form.

      Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapses in Baltimore

      I read the article. I didn't see anything about hacking ships to kill their power and cause them to veer off-course due to loss of rudder control.

      Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapses in Baltimore

      Reading comprehension isn't your strong suit today, I see. Do you not understand the difference between "I don't know what happened" and "this is what I think happened, based on what we currently know"? Do you not know what "SWAG" means? Or are you just in the mood to be argumentative?
