Judge Schnoopy posted:This is a really loving weird juxtaposition between blood chat and plane chat, can we pick one derail at a time please? If you put a plan on a treadmill of blood does it takeoff? Can a plane fly in blood? What if the plane is made of blood? Now make the plane spin around but the blood vortex stay still.

Phthisis posted:Are you not from the US? The airlines here cut costs every way they can and charge for everything. I do a 4+ hour flight a few times a year, and while most (but not all) of those flights have screens in the seats, it costs $8-10 to activate them. These airlines also won't give you pretzels or peanuts anymore either, just a small cup of soda. The exception is flights over oceans, where you get meals and plenty of snacks and drinks and free entertainment. Also, for a couple years now, they've removed the electronics restriction on flights, so you can use small electronic devices from the time you get on the plane till the time you get off. People watching stuff on their personal electronics seems to me to be the most common form of entertainment people use. Being too lazy to hold your phone and putting it in a bag attached to the tray table is one thing, but a ton of people definitely are using their phones to watch stuff during flights. I went on an oversea flight about 2 weeks ago. Not free food anymore. Meals are $8-11  However now planes now has outlets and wifi! But the wifi is $5 Only one outlet per 3 chairs Also the first four rows of economy class are "economy select" and cost more. So don't sit in those seats even if they are empty. gently caress I hate flying these days, it is playing a god drat f2p video game.

The UK has a really cheapo airline called Ryanair which used to try to sell you scratchcards while you were on the plane. They also considered charging people to use the bathrooms at one point, although that might have been a stupid rumor.

I've flown into Prague twice in the past year, once on United, once on Delta, and they both still had full service. I can't imagine having to get through one of those flights with reduced service.

Any time the ceo of Ryanair feels like they havent had enough publicity recently they claim to be considering charging extra for something dumb. (using the toilets, charging passengers per kg of their weight instead of a flat fee per passenger, whatever). They pick slow news days and the newspapers run with it. Then they "back down" or deny they were ever considering it. Lifehack; starting a dumb loving rumor about your company will get you free publicity. Like its possible that amazon will one day, years from now, deliver poo poo by drone, but isnt it a odd coincidence that the news was reporting their possible delivery plans the week leading up to black friday?

DemeaninDemon posted:Life hack: use convenient materials regardless of how much they gently caress up the next generation. Two pages ago now, sorry, but this was part of my concern, not just for my own health but environmental contamination. But I do appreciate all the additional tips (that were not, in fact, stupid life hacks but actual solid advice), I know nothing about furniture restoration and I do want to do it correctly and not like some lovely "country chic" mess that seems to be popular with furniture DiYers.

Choco1980 posted:If I recall correctly (READ: I can't be assed to check this now) a lot of the current "no electronics" is superstition. Older cellphones worked on frequencies that totally would gently caress over the dials in the cockpit Newer phones, like smartphones and the like work on different frequencies, and your gameboy or whatever NEVER affected it. It wasn't an issue even with older phones. It was just a precautionary ban while they investigated if there would be any issues that stuck around.

I remember Mythbusters testing it and seeing that older phones very much did mess with the dials that told the pilots they were horizontally level. Like, older flip phones. This was like a decade ago and already it was only "older phones" at the time. I doubt anyone even HAS a phone that can do it anymore.

Meals are $8-11 Well in the US at least the price of a ticket has gone down almost 50-60%, in inflation adjusted dollars, after deregulation so somethings gotta give. Plus the US has no flag carrier that receives government subsides to offset costs. If you want the old style service fly first class, just be prepared to pay what that service actually costs.

After going to Asia and being on planes that have video games, meals, and a free alcoholic drink with your meal no matter the time of day, flying in North America loving sucks now. And also on those planes, if you wanted a beer as your drink, they'd crack a can, pour the little plastic cup, then hand you the rest of the drat can. It was awesome.

Frankly, I'm happy they don't allow cellphone usage (as a telephone) on flights, regardless of the reasoning. Could you imagine being forced to listen to some motherfucker quietly yell into his cellphone for two hours? It would be unbearable.

Yeah, one of the other people in our group was 17, and we had no idea until after we got back and he had his 18th birthday because he drank with us everywhere. It explains why a family member commented on on of my photos I tagged him in drunk dancing that he was a 'huge disappointment'. Lifehack: To underage drink, just spend 8 grand on a field school to Asia! Walla!

Yes but could you smoke? If you really want the classic airline experience this is necessary. I took a flight a few years ago, it was my first time in an airport / on a plane since since May 2001. It was different

What do you do if you bought a baking tray too big for your oven? Make it fit! (from NeoGAF) They could've used a piece of foil instead...

I want to believe the tray would've actually fit if they rotated it 90 degrees. Also because I've never seen an oven so small that it would not fit a tray that size.

Pretty sure each (American) airline is different, distance to distance/ticket to ticket. I know for a fact that if you fly Delta internationally, ALL passengers (no matter what class ticket you buy) get at least one meal (usually one meal and two snacks) and all alcohol 100% gratis.

I just got back to the states less than a week ago from overseas (flew Delta business class) and while we did get meals free, alcohol was definitely NOT free. It was $8/drink (I know because I had 3 or 4 Jamesons), and you were limited to the amount they would serve at a time. Edit: Just looked, and while Delta offers free alcohol to international flights, it's only on certain ones. My flight, regrettably, was not included. gently caress Delta.
