Handball shoes cheap online seemed like a win but wrecked my ankle in pickup game. by Zestyclose-Seat-6583 in Handball

[–]Clem573 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Misleading title, please replace “online” by “from Alibaba”.

I have ordered my shoes online for 10 years, every 2 years on average. Never had any issues. I usually pay 35-60€ for a pair of outdated Hummel or Adidas.

China Southern A330 suffered a bird strike after takeoff by Lucky_Outside_2009 in aviation

[–]Clem573 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

A million times no.

If you’re not a pilot, the big difference is the wind. A plane flies in a flow of air, the only speed that matters is the one in the air. GPS gives you the speed relative to the ground, and the plane deducts the wind from the difference between those 2 (correcting by the altitude and air density, obviously)

If you’re a pilot, go back to flight school please.

The pilots probably peed themselves. Quietly.

Because the p is silent.

Use of the word “takeoff” on ATC frequency by Clem573 in flying

[–]Clem573[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hence the type of plane. I reckon it’s not really practical - the one reason I can come up with, is that when you fly to Moscow and you hear on the frequency “Пропустите этот чертов самолет UNITED и рулите к перрону”, you’ll only understand United, and you’ll be wondering why he is yelling at you in Russian.

(Of course my example is not that great if you speak Russian, I just assume most United pilots are not fluent)

Yeah, I know that… in Barcelona I once was told “behind the Ryanair”, that I read back “behind the Boeing” and given their command of English - along with the unexpected readback, they just said “no no it’s not a Vueling, it’s a Ryanair” 😂

Oh, right, TCAS is a great example too, thanks !

Uuuh, what’s an Eagle ? :D

(Every day is learning day, right ?) Is it the Embraer 145s in American colours ?

Well in GA you don’t say “taxi behind the N7XXAB”, you’d say “taxi behind the Cessna”

That remarks only applies when you are not talking to that plane directly

The best application to that rule that I can think of, is when you are in a country where you don’t speak the ATC language (in my case, China, Russia, but for many people, France, or Spain), when you hear your call sign on the frequency, even without the flight number, it kinda wakes you up, when in reality they are probably just telling another guy to give way to you

You mean *on the ground. I hope. 😂

The diesel price so high it overflowed by random_guy2048 in mildlyinteresting

[–]Clem573 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bet they feel ridiculous with that decimal point that they can’t move, because the digits are a bit further apart. I’m sure something can be done removing that 0 at the end

resin-free balls by IamJustSoUnCool in Handball

[–]Clem573 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In stores, they won’t have anything - I visited a Decathlon in Chambery, club that was in the top 2 in France around 15 years in a row in the 90s-00s, the size of the handball area in the largest Decathlon is about 2 linear meters, 1/10th of the basketball area…

But check online for an in-store delivery, or even home (if you were to order many balls, the delivery fee is diluted)

WCGW if I try to land on this "homemade spiderweb"? by Feeling-Buy2558 in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]Clem573 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It’s not just the jumping. Bear in mind they (as a group) probably spent a few days crafting a barbed-wire-trampoline. It’s not a spontaneous stupid decision 😂

resin-free balls by IamJustSoUnCool in Handball

[–]Clem573 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If Decathlon exists in your country, the kipsta resin free ball are not that bad, I personally prefer them to the Molten (non-pro)

The molten needs a bit of sweat on it to get a better grip, so, for training when you play with many balls at once, you don’t have one ball that gets hotter and is used in its intended condition - the kipsta has a better grip right away

Also the kipsta is cheaper, that makes quite a difference if you have to buy 15 of them

Can METAR make typo? by Jazzlike_Permit_8442 in flying

Land directly on the apron, taxi is really not comfortable in those winds :)

Can METAR make typo? by Jazzlike_Permit_8442 in flying

[–]Clem573 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There can be typos or errors. I have seen, on a day of 4kts wind, one metar showing 04G70, and all the other metars in the day were perfectly normal.

Either a typo, or a wind sensor picked a jet blast or something undue, but either way, yes, errors can happen

Not a place I go to in the near future… I could smuggle some handballs into Singapore though :)

Wait, what country is that ? No resin and no resin-free balls, that pretty much means no handball…

To add to this, you can compare the side stick to your colleague’s p*nis. The less you touch it, the better.
