But then I'd just be giving you ideas of how you'll frame your next argument on how 'xxxx's will crush 'yyyy's. Where xxx = your favorite airline category (legacy or LCC) and yyy = your hated airline category.

No, I'm not going to help you frame some stupid argument about how your airline category can beat up the other airline category.

It was a well disguised chick test, Ms Whackmaster. :D

The folks that say Zoom will not impact business travel are the same ones who said a blackberry was a dumb idea circa 2005, who wants to walk around and check email ?

Zoom can be hacked, so can email. JP Morgan did not write that article, this chick did: https://twitter.com/jfsklar?ref_src=...Ctwgr%5Eauthor

She also wrote about an app for menopause: https://neo.life/2018/06/wheres-the-killer-app-for-menopause/


Uh....


The article was about zoom fatigue, if you google it, it's being widely discussed and appears to be legit, not just the one chick.

The JP Morgan comments were quoted in several publications that I don't have digital subscriptions to, one of them was a very recent edition of Aviation Week (last week or week before).

The saying “It’s more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow” is so true, and damn that little MX-5 is one fun car to chuck around twisty rural roads. Top down, of course :D

Okay, convertibles are never better choices than coupes when driving fast on windy roads. Or fast on any road. This is due to the stiffer handling and less rigidity in a convertible. In addition, convertibles are heavier.
Want a great small car to drive on windy roads? Cayman S hands down. And you'll never be told it's a chick car.

Convertibles are fun. Deal with it. You’re not wringing 100% performance out of your street car. Ever.

Convertibles are for chicks and tourists on scenic roads such as the PCH. They are never sports cars.
And if you have never gotten 100% out of a sports car, you drive like a chick. It sounds like convertibles are a good choice for you. Deal with it.

I always drive like a chick. On the road.

I'll take it to the track otherwise. Convertibles are hard to design with max chassis stiffness so you can end up with the front and rear suspensions doing slightly different things. Also don't want to roll in one.

many of the quintessential sports cars of history are convertibles and roadsters. Sunbeam alpines, triumph spitfires, Alfa spyders, etc.

and you’ve never gotten 100% out of a sports car, especially on public roads, regardless of your sexist insult attempts
