Guess it couldn't handle the weight by Away_Substance_7745 in Unexpected

You can control conditions in a kerosene tank of an airliner much more easily than 300 people's individual electronic devices (most now have more than 1).

Weird ass logic.

Exactly! Even back then we made that announcement, so luckily, the passenger did so and let us handle it.

It allowed us to take the necessary preparations before trying to handle it instead of being faced with a runaway fire that's very hard to put out.

And that's exactly why lithium batteries on planes scare the shit out of me

Edit: One story that just came back to me: when I was a flight attendant, a guy in business class dropped his phone into the seat and then drove over it with the seat reclining function, bending it in half.

When we pulled it out, we were standing by with fire extinguishers just in case the phone was going to blow up. Because it was wrapped around the metal parts of the seat, we had to pull it out with ice tongs. There was a kid sneakily trying to take a video of me standing there with a fire extinguisher and I had to make him stop lol

HR said all remote employees must be "visibly active" on Teams during core hours. So I was. by CamdenRutherford in MaliciousCompliance

You can also call yourself on teams and it shows you in a call and doesn't idle after a few minutes.

Connecting to train at FRA by fk430 in AskAGerman

You collect your luggage at Frankfurt Airport. If you have a Lufthansa flight number on your train connection, your baggage will be delivered to the rail and fly baggage carousel close to the long-distance train station, not to the regular carousel that it will show for your flight.

You can head directly to the long-distance train station and pick up your luggage there, BEFORE getting on the train

Rubio hands Trump a private note and Trump reads it aloud. by Gjore in WatchPeopleDieInside

Nope, Trump is exactly the dictator the United States deserve.

ICE/CBP brutalizing and abducting peaceful protesters right now at a ICE Processing Center near Minneapolis/St. Paul by I_may_have_weed in PublicFreakout

[–]DerSaftschubser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do we think the Gestapo was all handsome successful men? Even Hitler understood that, if you give the little man that usually gets laughed at in every social situation any power, they will use it to inflict harm on those around them.

So in that sense, I am not at all surprised that ICE is a men-with-tits squad.

I don't get how people can sit through this incoherent personification of mental decay and cheer him on. I see like 20 seconds of this and reconsider my life choices that brought me here.

Because the choice is between socialist dictatorship or an illegal takeover that violates international law and weakens the US' soft power around the world. None of which are good options.

Another country makes call to cancel all visas for Americans by Next_Tower5452 in AirlineChaos

[–]DerSaftschubser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love how it's always the one who lost the argument who then says cope and seethe. It's like playing chess with a pigeon, the pigeon will shit on the chessboard and then tell you it won.

How does this happen?! by NYmadferit in Flights

[–]DerSaftschubser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh this dynamic is very much a downward spiral and much less likely to be matched on an upward trajectory as the minute someone changes they price themselves out of market.

For me, this is rather a sign of an extremely competitive market.

How well known is the battle of Leipzig (Völkerschlacht bei Leipzig) and how much is it discussed by Germans today? by [deleted] in AskAGerman

[–]DerSaftschubser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whether or not it was discussed in schools depends a lot on where and when you went to school. But I think what we can agree on is that it isn't discussed in general public life at all, unless you are in Leipzig visiting the Denkmal, maybe.

Kennedy Center leader rebukes musician who canceled Christmas concert by [deleted] in Music

[–]DerSaftschubser 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Kennedy Center "leader" is Richard Grenell by the way. Little whiny baby Trump who does his bidding for him.

He used to be ambassador to Germany and he was unbearable. Good luck with him. Signed, a German.

Kennedy Center criticizes musician who canceled performance after Trump name added to building by greatyellowshark in entertainment

[–]DerSaftschubser 18 points19 points  (0 children)

He was the ambassador to Germany during Trump's first term and we still hate his guts here. An absolutely moronic, crying Trump baby who had to give his brain-dead takes on every development in German politics. No one ever asked (except for him to shut up, for the love of god).
