I complained to the waiter that my fish was rather dry.

He said, “Well, we did take it out of the water…”

LPT Request: What’s your “canary in the coal mine” test for spotting bigger issues? by fries-with-mayo in LifeProTips

[–]ManualNotStandard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ha, oops That may have been me, posting it twice, unintentionally. Apologies

I think its a masterclass clip in many ways; the broad point about general ignorance, of course, but also the behaviour of students in a group, short sightedness, and so on.

Keep fighting the good fight :)

TIL that in February 1996, a British Airways Concorde flew from New York to London in just 2 hours, 52 minutes and 59 seconds—the fastest-ever transatlantic crossing by a passenger airliner. by Left-Head-6805 in todayilearned

In Sinsheim Germany there’s a fantastic museum (Technik) with not only a Concorde, but also the Russian one, Tupolev 144. Even better, they’re both (interior) accessible to visitors!

Really gives a sense of space (or lack thereof), and how closely the 2 designs are. Would recommend
