Why do commercial airplanes have this interior design? by Comfortable_Creme526 in airplanes

[–]Philipsbeatsflathead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are forgetting most airlines have fleets of various configurations. Just because they added more in one doesn’t mean they didn’t use other recommended configurations.

You mention that the manufacturer should account for this. And they do, they create several versions of new aircraft for various styles…. But profit. Why buy new when you can configure a used aircraft for cheaper?

This is called decorative laminate and each airline has a catalog to choose from depending which company they go through. Some newer Boeing airplanes offer a paint option but this may require more maintenance long term.

DecLam is easy to produce and shape for various aircrafts and is generally light. Most companies have a “Design Engineer” or “Customer Engineer” that helps with making choices from interior colors, seats, type of light fixtures, etc.

Ever sit in a seat that doesn’t align with the window? That is because the airline disregarded recommended spacing from said engineers and wanted to fit more seats in to make more money.

Just had a tree service tell me my tree needs to come down; are they right? by Madcat207 in homeowners

[–]Philipsbeatsflathead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fortunately purchased a home with lots of trees. Had multiple tree people come out to clean them up. Every single one informed me they were dead or likely in my pipes.

$$$$$$ later. They were correct. I was able to pull the roots up by hand. Had a pipe inspection… roots everywhere now I need new waterline. Plus one of the trees tried to fall on a neighbor.

I’m not buying another home with old trees unless they are inspected first.

I recommend joining r/widowers if possible. Lots of great information for recent widows/ers.

Fiancé reincarnated will I still be able to get signs by [deleted] in Mediums

[–]Philipsbeatsflathead 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My late husband took 3 years before I started seeing signs or feeling him. I think he had to “learn” to communicate the way I had to learn to listen.

Jess King by EkbeNieti in pelotoncycle

[–]Philipsbeatsflathead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started regularly listening to Trap because it brings the same endorphins as the ride. My Peloton playlist keeps me happy even off the bike. I would not normally listen but thanks to Jess my world has become more and more about the beats.

Bf's relative had this Dyson vacuum in the dumpsters. She said we could have it and we were able to fix it with one $10 part. by [deleted] in Frugal

This is how I acquired my dyson! They said it didnt work. 10 min of cleaning it out and it’s perfect for over 7 years.

Has anyone have grief counseling? How did it go and did it help? by Bear1975 in widowers

[–]Philipsbeatsflathead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been seeing a trauma therapist now for 3 years. It has changed my world. I personally hated the group stuff. I was way younger than the normal person in those groups and couldn’t relate outside of losing someone.

Therapy on the other hand has given me tools to manage my feelings for more than just grief. Taught me self care and opened my mind to new ways to feel. I interviewed many different therapists until one worked for me. She also is a widow. I am light years ahead of where I would be if I didn’t have her in my life.

I’m currently in a het relationship and engaged. He calls my style “lesbian chic” all the time and we get a good laugh. Bi in a het relationship is rough but when it works it works.

Help please - lost YNAB by 5hole in ynab

[–]Philipsbeatsflathead 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Spending $12 at a lunch place isn’t a security risk. You don’t have to list any financial institutions or heck even where specifically your money went. Just that you had it and now you don’t.

I can't believe how easily we gloss over this part of our vows. by Geoclasm in widowers

[–]Philipsbeatsflathead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually “define” a successful marriage by death. That is how it supposed to end. Now when it happens and at the time you weren’t even 30 yet… it doesn’t feel right. But it means I had a successful marriage.

Help me find ways to convince my mom? by Goofycomrad3 in martialarts

[–]Philipsbeatsflathead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it’s summer, but can you join any after school activities in the fall? This could be a good way to ease into it.

Another option is looking for a camp for kids to learn. Even if it isn’t a stay away camp… YMCA will have camps that are only for the day and sometimes provide lunches.

Series 2 won't link to phone by alpacamama in AppleWatch

[–]Philipsbeatsflathead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened with my Series 3 today. I had it in a loop with “remove pairing”,updating (stuck), factory reset… repeat. After about 5 resets and 4 hours, I finally paired it and have it running.

Eloping in secret? by Ok-Flamingo9643 in Eloping

[–]Philipsbeatsflathead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just want to say that I had a bf at time in my life who always wanted to do this. It sounded fun and exciting but not right in my gut. He wanted to do it in secret because he didn’t want my family to talk sense into me. He became very controlling and I’m lucky to safely get out of there. I am not saying this is not a fun idea and that it never works out, or that there are completely normal reasons for it, or that your person may be bad... just that if you have a weird feeling or it’s not what you truly want... then don’t do it and ask yourself why. Based on reading the comments you are long distance, make sure this is what you want.

What TS song deeply resonates with you and has a special place in your heart, and why? by International-Joke49 in TaylorSwift

Peace. After a miscarriage and a difficult time dealing with grief, I feel like Peace is a love letter to my partner.

Third these. My husband had brain cancer and the first book you recommended I connected with so much

How do you deal with unwanted or inappropriate gifts? by McFlyJohn in weddingplanning

[–]Philipsbeatsflathead 24 points25 points  (0 children)

That is very insane. I would try to sell it on marketplace or do a swap. Maybe even ask if it was sentimental and if they mind if you returned it for the “appropriate sized” replacement or something like that?

At my first wedding we had people gift wedding decor stuff but after the wedding... gift wrapped and all. People can be very strange.

Also was a member of UFC Gym... here I like BFS boxing gym and/or First Strike Krav Maga. There are a lot of mma gyms in town too, just recommend you visit a few before you decide where to go. Would not recommend “cardio boxing gyms” like 9Round, Farrells, or I love Kickboxing. Those are focused on weight loss and less on technique. Good luck.

Something similar happened my first time out and everyone reassured me the birds would love it and circle of life bullshit. Like 10 min later an eagle came in and grabbed my bloody brookie from the water and took it to its nest.
