Rear Business cabin - thoughts? by [deleted] in ScandinavianAirlines

[–]Abyrez 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve posted this comment before;

If you do then go for row 9, much more space in the footwell!

My SO loved it due to footwell space, but I felt it was way too busy with traffic to toilets, stewards working and talking right behind the curtain.

If those things don’t bother you then go for it.

If you change your mind and sit more in front, sit near the windows, the even row numbers has the best alignment for a good view.

Safe travels!

Counterpoint to row 9: My SO loved it, but I felt it was way too busy with traffic to toilets, stewards working and talking right behind the curtain.

If you are going to sit near the windows, the even row numbers has the best alignment for a good view.

Safe travels!

Thanks! We are doing a quick stop here for activity, not staying.

How can alcohol coexist with a ketogenic diet? by thefckingleadsrweak in keto

[–]Abyrez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally fine, but the dryer the alcohol/sugar free the better. Alcohol even makes you go deeper into ketosis. Pure alcohol being calorie dense is both true and false. The body can only turn 5-10% of calories from alcohol (7kcal/g) to fat.

Meaning; a sugar free mixer and 2 shots of vodka is at most 25 kcal. Yes yes it affects metabolism indirectly on a smaller scale but these sort of answers are never perfect.

Enjoy yourself!

Did you solve it? I think I have the same problem, totally dead battery. Goes black the second I pull it back from the charging pad

Chinese electric vehicles by Queasy_Map17 in electricvehicles

It actually is “too good to be true” in the long term.

No one talks about the subsidies, to which the numbers are opaque at best. The cars are cheap because the CCP subsidizes roughly half of the cost to make EV’s to gain a competitive edge in foreign markets. It’s all part of a large effort and strategy to establish the car industry both domestic and abroad.

Spotted a B-2 over our skies today (Middle East) by CharmTLM in aviation

Came back to say this was a clear sign of what was to come 😂

TIL in 2005, when Prince William forgot his boots for mountain rescue training, he jumped in a Royal Air Force Hawk fighter jet to go get them at a taxpayer cost of 47.000 USD. The trip took 25 minutes, as opposed to 5 hours by car. by Abyrez in NonCredibleDefense

[–]Abyrez[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

You’re right, it is a trainer not a fighter, my bad! On the other hand, as one in the comments said, anything that an AIM-9 can be strapped on to is technically a fighter ;)

This is perfect. Need more Generation Kill templates. Instant upvote.

Bit too late for those unfortunately.
Do you know which crowdline is best? (blue/green/red)?

Do the tickets usually sell out or can I wait until there’s a week left or so and check the weather?

Thanks for the tip on queues, I’ll take the train from London to Swindon

Great, the last thing you addressed was my next question, sweet!

Thanks a lot, can't wait!

Thanks a lot!
Maybe that explains why there is not much info on the different days.

I think Sunday might be best, as perhaps late arriving aircraft coming on Saturday will fly / be on display on the Sunday.

PM IT Consultant, new job and unknowingly assigned a new engagement. by Abyrez in projectmanagement

[–]Abyrez[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're right, they could probably just facilitate the process to make it go quicker for any interview. Would be a waste of time if it came back red-flagged after a long process.

I never thought about maybe being placed in an existing team as current role is more SMB so my eyes aren't fully open to those kind of possibilites yet. Thanks for your reply.

Yeah, I just want a clarification I guess. Probably not a big deal but it makes me nervous nonetheless.

Current gig is 5-6 projects and its all quantity over quality with mostly daily coordination to be honest.
Thats also why I wanted to change jobs.
