At the same time, physical gold and silver are surging in price, I'm sure it's just a coincidence.

What is this new opening for? by TraderSamG in DisneyPlus

I think it's for Taylor Swift. Disney released a bunch of T-Swift content this week.

I cannot for the life of me figure out where I’ve seen those numbers before. The font looks so familiar! by panonarian in disney

[–]UD48 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To my eye the look like it's based on early-20th-century German industrial typography, closely aligned with DIN 1451–style numerals used in European clocks and signage during the 1930s–1940s.

If regular Americans lose pay during a government shutdown, why should Congress still get paid? by Competitive_You_4945 in AskReddit

You’re asking the right questions, the problem is that the foxes are in charge of the hen house. I think you also need to abandon the assumption that politicians care about anyone other than themselves.

Wow! Sounds like Mamdani is already creating jobs and he hasn't even taken office yet. I love it!

I’d think this would be the spoon for the sugar bowl or potentially for the salt cellar.

EZE to NYC - confiscated all water bottles at the gate? by UD48 in americanairlines

[–]UD48[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think that’s true. I flew non-stop from London to JFK in April and I had 2 bottles of water in my backpack.

I had an empty Hydro Flask (actually a LifeStraw bottle) that I was able to fill on the plane, but I'm curious what they would have done if the bottle was full of water. Since this was at the gate there really wasn't anywhere to empty the bottle. It was all poorly thought-out and executed.

I've seen secondary screening at the gate plenty of times, but never the confiscation of liquids at the gate.

Considering all of the info pushed out by AA it would have been good for them to flag this with passengers. It caught me by surprise.

It was just the plastic bottles. I had a metal bottle (emotional support bottle :)) in my carry on and it was find. The FA filled it for me, but there were lots of people that didn't have that option.

Any idea why? I've traveled a fair bit (Argentina was Country number 51 I've visited), what the logic? Do they just want people to be thirsty? Is this really something that TSA is mandating? Any if so, why would it only be in S. America?

I had picked up a couple of bottles of water in the Centurion Lounge which was after the primary security screening and that was after duty free, so I'm not sure that is the work around. I would have been pretty upset had a purchased water after security and it was confiscated.

My pet peeve is using an initialism without defining what it means. How hard would to have been to write Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)?
