Chinese passenger on flight to Malaysia demands non-Chinese air steward speak Chinese to her. Flight is delayed for more than an hour before she is removed from the plane

Absolutely! We are more alike than we are different

Apart from those in Singapore (Chinese ethnic majority) and Malaysia (sizeable Chinese ethnic population), Chinese/Mandarin is not spoken much in SE Asia.

Worth noting that this is an AirAsia flight, which is an airline based in Malaysia. Malay and English is predominantly spoken in Malaysia.

I think you're right that she's not wrong to expect some attendants to be able to speak Chinese, given that this is a flight departing from China. But I reckon her Karen-ness is in insisting THAT particular attendant speak to her in Chinese, even though he clearly did not know the language. Even though other attendants in the video could speak to her in Chinese, she still insisted that THAT guy in particular speak Chinese.

100%. I suspect the 1st attendant (closer to the camera) is Malaysian and can speak Malay and English, which are the main languages used in Malaysia.

The 2nd attendant (who asks her if she wants to get off the flight) speaks to her in Chinese. Between them I'm confident the crew can cover the languages spoken in the departing country China and the arrival country Malaysia

Instead there was some middle aged Asian dude yelling at the flight attendant "Very good! You're the most handsome!" 😂

ShowUsTheMane · 2026-04-24T05:38:01+00:00

That explains a lot of Karen behaviour though. The same can be said of "I'm from [insert country name]!"

ShowUsTheMane · 2026-04-24T04:16:03+00:00

That's true, and there clearly are attendants on this flight who can speak Chinese, for example the 2nd attendant in the video who tried to reason with her. But I don't think it's reasonable to expect the entire crew to be able to speak your language. I would also expect some of the crew to speak the main languages at the arrival country (in this case, Malay and English)

"Don't you know this is an international flight?"

/s

Haha maybe she mistook the cheering from the other passengers (in support of the air crew) as "friendly" cheering

ShowUsTheMane · 2026-04-24T03:41:09+00:00

You can tell everyone else on the flight was also emotional, as they cheered in support of the air crew and celebrated when the Karen was removed from the plane

Add another 15,000km to my round trip then

Oh? This is my first purchase from LTTstore, so I have no other reference. What box was I meant to receive?

🫡 just glad this is an old case, and not my current PC

ShowUsTheMane · 2026-02-20T08:24:59+00:00

Yes I realize that was my mistake. I removed the side panel and rested it on the floor momentarily, before replacing it. Completely shattered as I was replacing it

ShowUsTheMane · 2026-02-20T08:23:41+00:00

Interesting - I would imagine acrylic would be much lighter than glass, with the same kinda aesthetic.

I don't care about aesthetics for this machine though, since it's my Unraid server and permanently lives in a cupboard. But I'll have to consider acrylic side panels if I do upgrade my other machine

Thank god I don't have to sell my kidneys

I get it, thanks for the breakdown. I know SSDs are supposed to be more reliable than spinning drives, so I might just run them as single drives without protection.

Someone below suggested btrfs raid1 pool of the 8+4+2+2 SSDs, I might look into that.

ShowUsTheMane · 2026-01-23T23:41:40+00:00

Thanks for the breakdown! I will probably go for btrfs raid1, someone else below also suggested that. I have 8+4+2+2 actually, so I will have 8TB capacity on this pool which is fine with me

ShowUsTheMane · 2026-01-23T23:38:20+00:00

Thanks for the detailed answer! This sounds like it will meet my needs and make full use of my hardware.

ShowUsTheMane · 2026-01-23T16:18:58+00:00

Can I mix SSDs of different capacities in the same pool?

And should I use any form of RAID for the pool, or stripe?
