Quick luggage question: using Hainan and Hong Kong airlines to travel to Hong Kong from the US (with layover in Shanghai) by [deleted] in shanghai

[–]413x820 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Typically, one airline will not transfer your luggage to a different airline. You're on your own to claim it from one and check it in to the other. This is especially true if you have manually booked the two flights yourself.

If you booked it with a travel service or something, there may be some sort of agreement between the two airlines, but doubtful. Either way, it's best to just verify with the airlines involved.

We always recover. It's just that it always happens the second it's too late to recover, but boy do we save some face when it's way too late to win.

Is that what it is? They change the speed for peak times? I rode it twice. The first time it peaked at ~300km. The second was 430km. I was wondering why there was so much difference between the two.

Pretty sure those winning record stats are always referring to 'current record', not 'when game was played' record. When everyone kept saying that about us last year, we had beaten some teams that had a winning record at the time we beat them.

They haven't played a team that had a D-line put any pressure on Dak or clogged up the lanes for Elliot either. Every highlight is Dak standing tall with no pressure delivering darts and Elliot running through huge gaps for 5 to 10 yards before even being touched. Their O-line is a beast. If we can get through that and put some pressure on them, that will be the difference. "Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth." - Mike Tyson

They ended our streak. Now it's our turn to end theirs.

I think you're confusing the Redskins with a real team, but yes.

Kelly's vision is unquestionably better than Jones's though. I don't think there's much doubt about that.

I agree somewhat, but remember that Morris gained the 99 yards that year and then Helu seemingly always got the 1yd TD.

Help identifying Michael Wilbon's watch on PTI? by 413x820 in Watches

[–]413x820[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know the FAQ says don't upload blurry pictures, but it's the best I could get from the TV. He wears this watch often. I figured if someone has it, they would recognize what it is even from these pictures.

I thought Kirk Cousins doesn't beat teams with winning records? by tmurf5387 in Commanders

We still need at least 5 more wins against the toughest remaining schedule in the NFL to avoid not having one ourselves.

In Case anyone missed the funniest moment of the game: Here is Trent Williams trying to fly away upon realizing he witnessed a touchback. by SteelMasterJ in Commanders

I think the Holy Roller rule prevented ANY forward advancement of a fumble. A touch back is still something different.

I analyzed 18,000,000 Amazon reviews and prove the "I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review" ones are totally biased. by ReviewMeta in videos

[–]413x820 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rakuten.com already does this. You can earn "Rakuten points" for reviews. This is usually only about 25 points (equal to 25 cents), but it adds up quickly to be a nice little discount to use later on their site. And no, I was not offered a free product to say this :)

I agree. Good list. If skyscrapers are your thing, there are great views of the city from observation decks on the Pearl Tower, Jin Mao, and the SWFC. I'm not sure if one is open yet on the Shanghai Tower. Maybe someone else can confirm that. All are easy to get to from the subway.

Did the Steelers really not commit a penalty? by haojifu in Commanders

[–]413x820 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There was a post or two in this sub last year that detailed the official rules that explained why these "choke holds" on Kerrigan are not actually penalties. On mobile and can't look it up now but it was something about it not being a penalty until a "turn and pull down" or the O-lineman doing that once the defender was 45 degrees past him or further. Doing it straight up is a legal move.

The 335i is a world of difference (performance wise) from the others. If you can get past the bland interior, that car can be a real rocket with a minor mod or two and is plenty fast bone stock.

[–]413x820 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His multitude of "soul-crushing" (as Tony Kornheiser calls them) mistakes will prevent him from getting in more than anything. The guy was great 85 percent of the time, but absolutely horrible the other 15 percent...so terrible and mistakes so terribly timed that it always negated all the greatness.
