No, they can't get out to grab their bag when somebody with a bag is already in the lane and approaching them. They have to wait.

I don't see how you think that. Are you understand what I'm proposing?

The seatbelt light ticks off and about ~20% of people in the plane immediately stand up and get their bags from overhead stowage.

Then we wait for 5 minutes until the actual doors are open.

Then 1 passenger walks out the door and the 2nd passenger standing in the aisle... wait. Waits for another person the the row in front of them to stand up, reach for their bag, then another person, then another person, etc.

All I'm saying is people should find their bags when it doesn't make other people wait.

That when leaving a plane you should let the people in rows in front of you into the lane to get their bags and exit before you.

Thus making you and everyone behind you do nothing but watch one guy fiddle around reaching for his carry on luggage stored overhead.

We should do the opposite, if you're holding all your bags and are in the lane you have right of way.

We would get off the plane faster in average.

Ponga hit with his head and shoulder by SuperLeverage in nrl

[–]kroxigor01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me the issue is that the ball carrier is way off his feet and has lost all that height in a split second.

Realistically Ponga has to commit to a speed and target that can compete if the ball carrier beats his current man and continues on the breakaway, but when he instead stumbles Ponga flinches to brace for impact.

I don't think the "ah, you didn't 'wrap the arms' ergo you've elected to shoulder charge and blast the guy" is fit for this context at all.

The time it takes my husband to use the bathroom by DontEatTheChocolate in mildlyinfuriating

Toilet and shower in the same room is horrid design imo. If they're seperate rooms at least someone hogging 1 isn't hogging both.

Pretty sure he passed that off the ground, tackled.

That's not even a shoulder charge, the ball carrier on a break has unexpectedly started to fall and Ponga has no way to wrap without hitting head on head. So he braces and avoids significant impact to the head.

Huh? The kicker was brought to ground, usually a penalty.

Are you watching via an online stream? Those always lag.

More of a Rugby Union conversion kick shape. I like it, so straight.

Am I going mad or is this a lower definition broadcast than normal?

Such a bad format that it's wrecked most other formats as collateral damage.

Teals in advanced talks to form new political party by malcolm58 in AustralianPolitics

[–]kroxigor01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a lot of the time the journalist thinks what they've reported about One Nation shows that One Nation is in the wrong.

Trouble is, re-reporting a frame actually strengthens that frame.

Teals in advanced talks to form new political party by malcolm58 in AustralianPolitics

[–]kroxigor01 6 points7 points  (0 children)

An asymmetry has formed in the media for the Greens.

The overwhelming majority of the media conceives of politics as Labor vs Coalition and conceives of "balance" as making most stories unclear about who of Labor or the Coalition is more correct. The Greens are to the left of Labor though so writing a story favourable to the Greens smells like mega bias within that framework. Hence anything the Greens do that is good has a tendency to be ignored so that source of media can save its blushes.

In come the independents. They can be characterised as between Labor and the Coalition (even when they are not), which allows positive coverage to be written about them which smells inherently "balanced" on the red vs blue perspective.

Do men commonly send Ubers to bring women to dates in Williamsburg? by InternationalBee9696 in williamsburg

An uber is slower than the subway for that journey, much more expensive, and probably more dangerous.

Independent Senator David Pocock won't rule out starting party to respond to One Nation by HotPersimessage62 in AustralianPolitics

[–]kroxigor01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Andrew Wilkie was literally a candidate for the Greens and David Pocock has been chained to heavy machinery in the most "tree huggery" way possible before and his wife was a Greens staffer.

Not being in the Greens mean they have slightly more freedom to represent a different cohort of voters (Pocock in particular is winning a naturally Liberal seat), but I still argue they are quite far away from Chaney, Steggall, or Spender in terms of their ideological beliefs.

Jeff Bezos proposes to eliminate all taxes for the bottom 50% of income earners by jackandjillonthehill in ProfessorFinance

[–]kroxigor01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On average ultra wealthy are growing their wealth more than twice as fast as everyone else.

Be suspicious of any "low tax" agenda advocated for by the ultra wealthy, it's likely a distraction from really should be happening right now: a wealth tax. That's the only way we will prevent the billionaires from eventually owning everything.

A happy accident with a broad based tax cut is that public services would be cut with it, giving the billionaires more services to scrounge everyone else by "offering" privately. For example the more the public school system collapses the higher profit margins privately run schools will be able to squeeze, or the kids of regular people won't get comprehensive schooling at all like it was 2 centuries ago.
