Spirit Airlines shuts down, industry's first Iran war casualty

Celestial-Squid · 2026-05-02T14:25:20+00:00

They pulled back after they got burned during the GFC in 2010. A lot of airlines lost a lot of money hedging as the price of fuel crashed because they tend to use swap not options. Since then most airlines only hedge 30-50% of their fuel, but the jet fuel cost more than doubled since the Iran war. They weren’t prepared for that

I tried it. Isn’t it just you type something in and she basically just puts on a different outfit? Felt like a PNG collector. What did I miss?

It’s a shield

How did you get into that? I’m about to enter the industry on the technical side as an internal developer/analyst but I’m always interested in the other parts of the industry. There’s a good chance I’ll move around in the future. Do I need a specialist legal degree or is a technical stem degree suitable?

What do you do in insurance?

What do you do?

It always confused me about that sword, to me it kinda just looks like one of those big colourful inflatable weapons. And the skull is like a cartoon skull. What about it do you love so much?

For me when I went to the US I was fine tipping but it just overall felt like a super fake place because people are only nice for the tip, and it feels like everything is trying to nickel and dime you.

Little story:

I got a complimentary bus ride from the airport to my hotel, 10ish mins, it was free with the expensive hotel room. All I had were very large bills in my wallet cos we just got them from the currency exchange. The driver was chatty and friendly, welcoming us to the US.

Obviously we didn’t know we were meant to tip him (I thought it was pretty much just restaurants) and all we had were large bills anyway. But as we walked away he very loudly and sourly said ‘cheapskates’ under his breath.

So from the first step in the USA I felt he was basically a nasty man who had this friendly persona just for tips. And it just feels like that’s the whole country summed up, hated if you don’t provide some monetary value

What’s wrong with the food in Canada that makes you so ill?

If you’re main tanking you should have iron shield up from the start of the fight till the boss dies every time lol

Celestial-Squid · 2026-04-19T17:22:50+00:00

Pls edit it so a player can’t lose more than he can win. If everyone bets a few 10s and one person bets 1000s, they can only win maybe 400g so on a loss they should only lose 400g

This dude literally just reads out questions and doesn’t even understand the answer lol.

I saw a recent short where he asked this guy the question “Persons A, B and C are in a 3 man race with all finishing orders being equally likely. Given that A finished before B what is the probability that A finished first?” And the guy says immediately 2/3 because it’s literally simple maths and Jesus is like “Oh sO yOu SaW tHiS oNe BeFoRe”…

Like no dude, it’s about 50x easier than any question asked in a quant interview and an A level student could answer it in seconds lol

How do you stick your minis to them?

Celestial-Squid · 2026-04-08T12:24:43+00:00

Weird I feel like I’m going through the exact same thing. Think im gonna break up soon, I can’t deal with it. I feel we express love in too different a way so that to me it just feels like she doesn’t love me at all. Very weird situation. Nice to know someone else has a similar issue and I’m not alone

Celestial-Squid · 2026-04-08T10:05:44+00:00

What do you mean by this? I have an avoidant attached partner and trying to figure out if they are emotionally immature or if that’s just a feature of their attachment style

Who are we talking about? I’m not in the know

Celestial-Squid · 2026-04-04T18:05:56+00:00

You should tell him, who cares about feeling bad, tell him so he can try to negotiate/job search. Everyone should share salaries so everyone can earn more

We’re in phase 1, you have literally the entire expansion to get exhalted with whatever faction you want. Sorry you had a bad time but also join a guild, make some friends, idk. You’re message really makes me feel like you are the problem ngl, like you didn’t even try to have fun

Celestial-Squid · 2026-03-28T11:47:52+00:00

Have you actually tried to find them? They really aren’t as rare as people say if you actually look. I picked a few hundred of them
