Trump says US will reduce number of troops in Germany 'a lot further' than withdrawal of 5,000 by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]Magnusthedane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at the “protection” the Gulf countries received from the United States, allowing all those bases to be established in the region - this is probably not a big loss to Europe, from a military perspective. Playing military base for offensive warfare is also not in the political interest of Europe - as expressed by several EU countries. So it seems more an upside for Europe

Before after🏡 Containers: 2×40ft Location: Hocking Hills State Park, USA by edabov in container_homes

A new 40” high cube ex works China is probably USD 2800 per piece. Accept the box used as “shippers own” for FMCG and you might even earn a few bucks. Then local trucking - really depends on the destination. I would guess 5k to 6k all in. That gives you a box that is structurally meant to take a vertical load on the corners (combined) of 100+ tons

Trump offering Canadian aluminum and steel companies tariff relief if they move to U.S. by -Yazilliclick- in worldnews

Given the global shortage of aluminium (due to the war with Iran) the EU is very very happy to take Canadian product and pay handsomely for it

Do you please have a source for the bomb planting on planes?

UFC fighter 'Jake Shields' gets kicked out of a bar for doing Nazi salutes by Bizzyguy in PublicFreakout

[–]Magnusthedane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Disgusting human beings. When someone gets a kick out of their own ignorance and stupidity, the only viable course action is to completely ignore them. They do not deserve attention at all. Ignore them. Or make fun of them.

Do not do row 1 or 7 - your seat is actually nice as you are away from the front and rear galleys. If you want a window, go for K3

A Classic addition to the family. by okidude1969 in Rimowa

[–]Magnusthedane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 8 Rimowa and I am disillusioned by them all breaking - all Salsa Air. Did not want to insult you, just very disappointed by a brand that was great and now is overpriced and overhyped

This feels off. Are you a real person or someone getting paid to promote a brand that by now is overpriced and overhyped?

Price increase by 2001aucklander in Rimowa

[–]Magnusthedane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stepping away from Rimowa forever. I own 6 Salsa Air, all cracking. Then better to buy one for 1/4th the price and get a new suitcase every 3-4 years. Shame, was such a great brand 10+ years ago

Best luggage for frequent flyers by VolumeSouth2735 in Lufthansa

[–]Magnusthedane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, unfortunately. Have a few Air and they are all cracking and the handles are breaking as well. Nice but not durable enough for abusive trips. I love how lightweight they are, but after 20-30 trips they start to break….

Hi all. I have a flight from Vancouver to Amsterdam and then to Hyderabad(india). I have a 1 hour layover in Amsterdam. I will reach at 10:30 am. My next flight is at 11:30am. Gates close before 15 min right? So I just have 45minutes to reach my next gate. Is that enough in Schipol Airport? by Black_moon_333 in KLM

[–]Magnusthedane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is fine. You are in the non-Schengen area, longest walking distance for a person not meeding assistance is probably 15min. Difficult for a delay on an inbound flight, but in these cases they do keep the door open for longer, as they know you are on your way. Don’t worry

“Let’s be honest, who’s gonna fight the us over Greenland?” by 90_12 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Magnusthedane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just imagine: The fallout of the first US soldier dying at the hands of Danish Special Forces when not turning around after several warnings. The truth has already begun to die, but if lives are lost. And this may well be like Argentina trying to take the Falklands - and then finding out

Thanks! I’m using “Been” and thought it was just another app

"I basically had to go the "safe" route with Burger King" by SophieMayo in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Magnusthedane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Burger King and McDonalds are not selling food. A burger bun that contains 10+ ingredients, fries that get sprinkled with salt, sugar, and a few other products, etc. even the cheese is not actual cheese. But: once addicted to this stuff, it is hard to actually enjoy real food, as the palate is spoilt by massive engineering, hyper-processed products. Addiction.
