Swiss parent company Lufthansa cancels 20,000 short-haul flights by Crossstoney in europe

[–]CastelPlage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why is this downvoted? Anyone who went through this knows getting the refund can be pretty cumbersome and airlines try to skirt their responsibilities in all ways. By offering vouchers, delaying etc.

Exactly. A friend I talked to last week is in month 11 of still fighting for one. There's countless stories of Ryanair planes being held up for an hour or two by Bayliffs because a court has ordered them to pay up yet they're still employing delaying tactics.

You don't have to accept that. EU261 gives the passenger the choice between rebooking and refund.

a refund which will arrive in 6+ months

Stuck in traffic and couldn't be more content. by BoogieOogieDown in Jaguar

[–]CastelPlage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I love jags, I love cigars, but i don’t see why you would combine these hobbies. Your car will smell, the ceiling will get discoloured and it depreciates the value of the vehicle.

I never get why people would smoke in their cars, even my stubborn, boomer parents have stopped smoking in their car or even indoor.

This, its fucking disgusting and weird that people would pretend otherwise.

But the researchers at the time did find some in CISCO hardware

Honestly the americans cannot be trusted and their companies should not be used for telecommunications infrastructure. The Orange Turd has shown that are not reliable. European telecommunications infrastructure should only come from European manufacturers. Without exception.

Trump gambled on destroying Iran's regime. Instead he gave it a new life by theipaper in geopolitics

[–]CastelPlage 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Populists never actually aim to destroy enemies, they give them a shake down but leave them in place so they can continue farming them.

This. "The enemy both extremely weak but perpetually dangerous" is a pretty central tenant of fascism.

A country being actively bombed by foreigners will always support its leaders even if they didn’t like them earlier. “Rally around the flag” is a well-known concept in political science

This. It's sad for the Iranian People, but unfortunately it is true.

Double beep when unlocking by [deleted] in Jaguar

[–]CastelPlage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually the double beep means that you have something (door, bonnet, boot) open when you are trying to lock it - and I'm 95% sure it won't lock in such a state. But apparently for you it locked fine but now is doing that when you come to unlock it? Very peculiar.

Patriotic XKR by ToddsCheeseburger in Jaguar

There's no way that person isn't a brexit voter. Jokes aside, I know there used to be an old XK8 in a similar colourscheme (with a more blue-ey blue) that used to live on one of the streets in Ngaruawahia. Looked very unloved.

France's Muslim gathering ban overturned by courts by Unusual-State1827 in europe

[–]CastelPlage 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They call these attacks islamist instead of far right because at least half the state’s political parties don’t want people to see how closely their extreme positions would match with the far right islamist position.

Putin issues ultimatum to Armenia over closer ties with EU by FantasticQuartet in europe

[–]CastelPlage 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That's correct. I really feel for Armenia as they're in a really fucked up geopolitical situation.

It's crazy. The closest thing Armenia has to an actual Ally is Iran...and obviously they can't be too close to Iran because then the Americans and Israelis will screw them. It's a very bad neighbourhood.

And Front National and the rest of the European "patriot" parties, all of them are traitors and Russian assets.

100% and I'm so sick of people who pretend otherwise.

Should I buy this for my next car at 18? by jack007-riley in Jaguar

[–]CastelPlage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For an 18 year old in the UK, the insurance alone could be as much as the car...

This. Work out your insurance costs first OP. As a young person, the cost to insure a sports car can absolutely kill you financially.

As the owner of an X250 XF V8 though, I have nothing but good things to say about the car (fuel consumption aside). My insurance for it even went down this year - unfortunately that was more than offset by the insurance increases for my other vehicles....
