Removal of shoes is OK while sitting, as long as socks are worn and feet stay on the damn floor (or the seat if you're in a premium class.)
There should be a hatch to allow for anyone who puts their feet on the wall, seat in front of them, etc. to be shoved into the cargo hold.

Totally agree on the bare feet...as for the rest, it depends on what you consider "dressing up."
Clean, decent clothes, no undershirts, no tank tops, no garish or offensive slogans, all that? Yeah. But anything beyond what I'd wear for golf at a nice course? Never.
And learn to walk, people.

The Rice Truck Saga is truly the greatest epic in liveposting* history. Centuries from now it will be studied in colleges.
*Or will the term "livetweeting" outlive the Bad Place? Another question for the scholars.

And I was about to start watching it - glad I saw this, as your tastes and mine tend to be similar. Second save from following you (after Pluribus.)

Not surprising, since at the current production pace we'll see first contact with the Vulcans before they get any of the C919s they've "chosen". 😁

If we'd carried out a strike on Venezuela we'd know about it, as the Secretary of The Department He Doesn't Know The Legal Name Of would be screaming in joy as the "warfighters" went into action.
In related news, I despise the term "warfighter".

"Trump Babies"? Sounds like a half-arsed retread of the Lebensborn idea.

True, but a raccoon would be more fun.

The article has a lot of truth, I just wish they'd picked a different picture.
Spirit Airlines' problems are all of their own making (with an assist from Pratt & Whitney screwing up some engines), from a bad business model to debt taken on to execute that model, and have zero to do with tariffs.

They only want more babies that meet a...specific set of specifications.
The rest of the babies (and the rest of us) are expendable. No, "expendable" isn't the right word..."disposable", maybe? Or just "irrelevant"?

...and then regulating if necessary.
Cameron could have taken the very close "leave" vote and used it - and the signs of other euroskeptic parties - as a tool to convince other EU members to support reform. But that would have meant compromise and hard work, neither of which were his fortes.

The thing is that somewhere in there there's a point: the EU is given to excessive regulation. A lot of European regulation is based on the idea that that which is not regulated is inherently out of control, as opposed to the British starting point of identifying an actual need for regulation...

Yet another example of the EU parliament favouring excessive (and lobbyist-driven) regulation over common sense.
Greggs showed how to do it: yes, most people assume sausages have meat in them. So call your meat sausage rolls "sausage rolls" and your vegan equivalent "vegan sausage rolls". Done.
