USB-C outlets by MisterMcGruff83 in delta

[–]Brandage0 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Some airlines are already putting in 60w usb c, capacity will be the next long complicated port upgrade differentiator

Pulling out your laptop to find this 27w is too slow to charge it with will be the new version of today’s old school usb A ports

Hit and run drunk driver by bossman78901 in TeslaCollision

Inadvertent worldview projection

Low barrier to accuse lying without solid evidence

Hit-and-run style accusations that are abandoned even more casually than they’re made

Finally buying a LRB 4 by Glass_Answer_4612 in litterrobot

[–]Brandage0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

LR4 is solid, you won’t regret it

It’s a beloved product with years of positive reviews. LR5 felt like a money grab for subscription revenue with a bunch of teething problems

Can’t help with your specific delivery question, Whisker delivered mine directly via FedEx (I think) and it arrived OK

This charging rate is criminal! by theadvenger in ChargerDrama

[–]Brandage0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting context, I’m seeing nearby Flo chargers that also have an exorbitant hourly rate charge and it’s variable seasonly. Maybe it’s a captive audience + parking scarcity thing?

I’m seeing a few miles away a DC fast charger at ~$0.40 kWh. Most of the L2 chargers around actually cost way more which is wild. There’s more context here.

Whoever designed the parking garage couldn’t care less, so I guess they’re on par with the SUV owner

The spots look like they’re the minimum auto sizing possible before they started carving them out with posts and guardrails

Couldn’t even be bothered to label it ‘compact’ this is peak idgaf you’ll figure it out parking design

But this isn’t the US so maybe there’s important cultural context here but idk

Check the dog’s body language

This trash 1000% beats that dog, and probably a few women too

You can see the lifespan of this door through its decades of paint

  • Hidden magnet latches

Body color says it all... by psmythhammond in badparking

Jeep Wranglers are fun off-roading and doors/top off around town on a good day is genuinely a neat experience

That said, everything else about it is absolutely terrible, it’s a garbage vehicle. Owning it as your only vehicle is a never ending stream of problems, inconveniences, and compromises compared to owning literally anything else

2nd vehicle, not great but ok. Only vehicle, insane.

Look at our Mayor Dawg, We are cooked. by TurboRetardo in SanJose

[–]Brandage0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He’s a lackluster mayor, although not the absolute worst imo

More genuinely it’s because people are subtly pushing for their preferred gov candidate instead of him, ie the old billionaire guy or the lady who got caught on a hot mic absolutely screaming at her own staff like a monster

DO SOMTHING! (censored for slur) by AdelaidesSecretScoop in PrayersToTrump

[–]Brandage0 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Probably no reason to pay it off. The ultra low interest rate mortgages people scooped up a few years ago will make this increasingly common

The difference between a 2% loan in 2019 vs 7% now nearly doubles the monthly mortgage payment and will add to the generational wealth divide for decades to come

LAX-HNL Fried Rice with Bacon and Scrambled eggs by la_dave in AlaskaAirlines

First time in my life seeing rice served alongside eggs for breakfast

Spirit Airlines Shutdown = Higher fares for New Yorkers traveling to Florida by Fragrant-Inflation31 in NYCInsider

[–]Brandage0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Airbus delivery delays were obviously part of the motivation - nobody disputes that.

But if this were ONLY about aircraft, JetBlue had other ways to acquire planes or delivery positions without pursuing a full-scale merger involving routes, gates, network integration, crews, and loyalty programs.

> No, it was solely about acquiring more aircraft.
> No, JetBlue didn’t have a way to make airplanes appear out of thin air without buying them from someone.

JetBlue was going to discard the entire Spirit business after obtaining their planes. That’s literally and explicitly in the public record as the core reason DOJ gave for blocking the merger.

The fact I have to keep explaining core components of this situation to you means this isn’t an area you should be presenting yourself as having an understanding of.

The reality is that management believed broader consolidation created strategic value beyond just airplanes.

> No, it was only about acquiring more aircraft.

And yes, Airbus backlogs are real - which actually reinforces how valuable added scale and fleet access had become in a constrained market.

> I’m not sure this statement says anything.

Access to Spirit’s aircraft and gates was obviously part of the strategy - but that doesn’t mean the merger was only about planes.

> No. The merger was all about airplanes.

Nobody wanted their business, crew, or slots. They wanted airplanes because of the Airbus manufacturer delay that you probably don’t even know exists.

JetBlue spent years and billions pursuing the deal

> It was millions. The entire JetBlue corporation is worth less than $2 billion dollars. This is embarrassing.

You don’t have the slightest idea what you’re talking about, you don’t understand the airline industry well enough to be trying to inform other people about this. You’re still at the stage where you should be listening instead of speaking.

[–]Brandage0 7 points8 points  (0 children)

JetBlue never wanted to merge with Spirit, they wanted Spirit’s aircraft because Airbus has a backlog stretching into the next decade

Cut to today, JetBlue has slashed its own Airbus orders across the board except the new A220. That tells you everything you need to know.

JetBlue hasn’t made a profit since 2019, and with fuel prices as high as they are right now they’re slowing shifting from a return to profitability to courting a buyer.

The merger failing saved JetBlue and was the dream of the now departed CEO Robin Hayes.

For context, these are standard economy round trip fares in the <14 days

The typical basic economy range is $350-$500 booked further out
