    What extra logistics? Passenger birth dates are recorded at time of booking and with the exception of southwest, seats are assigned ahead of time. It would be trivial for the booking software to limit where certain age groups can be assigned. Most airlines already allow passengers with infants to board before everyone else so there’s time to deal with carseats/strollers.

    Every airline already excludes young children from exit row seats, so clearly the logistics involved are already solved.

    I’m not necessarily advocating for that policy, but I fail to see how it would be difficult to enact. The resulting discrimination lawsuits would probably be the most onerous part.

    In addition to the temperature difference, if an ember is shoved into something, the portion in contact is cut off from air and the burning rate slows/stops at the point of contact. Pyrotechnics like in sparklers have an oxidizer mixed in and will continue to burn even/especially with tight contact. Sparklers actually burn faster/hotter when compressed. Taping a whole bunch of sparklers tightly together becomes explosive.

    Plus a lot of sparklers have a metal wire core that is efficient at transferring heat to skin. Whereas wood and charcoal are relatively insulating.





  • I use lactose free whole milk, maple syrup, a generous amount of cocoa, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sometimes a touch of nutmeg.

    My wife likes to go really heavy on the cinnamon and adds some cayenne pepper for more of a mexican chocolate style drink.

    Delicuous indeed.

    Cocoa does contain some caffeine, so people with no tolerance at all might not be able to enjoy it, but it’s something like 10% the amount that’s in coffee.
