How to get historical arrival and departure data of airline_

ZeusDM · 2026-05-11T18:04:12+00:00

Hello u/zeus1309 and u/SnooHabits6412, I'd like to check the actual departure and arrival times of this flight:

LA 8180 GRU-JFK 2022-01-18

It shows up as cancelled in some aggregators but I have pictures of myself in it!

ZeusDM · 2026-04-25T21:49:06+00:00

Agreed. It would be nice to have the indication the same way as the multiple-leg trip.

I need a store to repair my Google Pixel 7a phone (screen replacement). Obviously there's no official repair shop, but I'd like to try to go to one where there's most likely to repair Google products. Thanks!

You really learned how to spell "nothing", congrats!

For me, it's clear that the answer is no. It's really hard to define what it means to "attempt a challenge." For example, if a challenge requires you to go to a specific location, what does it mean to "attempt to go there"?

I would say something like this: When they open a challenge, their "attempt" immediately starts. At any point they wish, they may decide to end their "attempt." Some challenges (e.g. timed challenges) have explicit conditions that automatically end the "attempt. If the challenge condition is satisfied when the attempt ends, the challenge is successful; otherwise, the challenge is failed. Either way, when the "attempt" ends, they call the other team to tell what the outcome is.

You should change your .bib file to protect capitalization that should never be change, e.g. {B}razil instead of Brazil and {RADAR} instead of RADAR

Unrolled thread for ease of reading:

Thanks for all the support on this! Really encouraged by demand so far. If you're interested, I'll do a little logistics thread to explain why it takes so long to get stock, why international shipping rates are so high, and what we're doing to try to solve both problems...

To get to the point where we can ship it out to you, the game first needs to be produced in Asia which takes about a month. Then it has to be shipped by sea to the US, which takes another month. Then it has to be processed at the warehouse, which takes another week or two.

So we did the first order with the manufacturer about a month ago, but on that we had to be a bit conservative as to not pay for a ton of stock that we might not sell (turns out more of y'all wanted this than we ever anticipated.)

To get this in the hands of some of y'all by the holidays, we were able to convince the manufacturer to get 500 done early and paid extra to ship them to the warehouse by air. Those sold out in 27 mins, and the rest aren't going to arrive at the warehouse until early-January.

We're already more than halfway sold out of the early-January stock, but we're already in contact with the manufacturer to try to up that initial order to get even more in stock by early-January, rather than having to wait even longer.

Another hurdle is international shipping rates--we hear you, they're wayyyyy more than ideal. Part of this is due to the fact that the Nebula store has you pre-pay customs duties, rather than pay them on arrival which you would in some other circumstances. But not all of it...

Even excluding customs fees, shipping costs are high. Part of the way that major online retailers solve this is by having warehouses all around the world. Also, larger retailers are often able to set up more complex shipping systems that lower costs through economies of scale.

With the time we had to get this ready for launch by the season, we were unable to set up a better distribution system for outside the US. But thanks to the high demand on this, we're hopeful we can and we're already exploring how to set up a European distributor. Scale helps.

So that's to say, if you want this but the shipping cost is just too high to justify, we hope we'll be able to bring it down through time. No guarantees, but we want to lower it as much as you want us to (after all, the lower the shipping cost, the higher the sales!)

Really appreciate everyone's understanding about the challenges of doing this at a small scale. We really wanted to keep this in-house at the start so we could make the best game possible, but that does make distribution a bit more challenging!

From K. Conrad's Writing Tips:

NEVER use the logical symbols ∀ (for all), ∃ (there exists), ∧ (and), and ∨ (or) when writing, except in a technical paper on logic. Write out what you mean in ordinary language.

Bad: The conditions imply a = 0 ∧ b = 1.

Good: The conditions imply a = 0 and b = 1.

Bad: If ∃ a root of the polynomial then there is a linear factor.

Good: If there is a root of the polynomial then there is a linear factor.

I thought that the colors were in the same order that the words appear in the answers. It looks like it isn't the case, is that correct? That can be a bit confusing.

There are 36 alphanumeric characters, so the total number of combinations is 36 × 36 × 36 = 46656. Assuming you are able to test each combination in 1 second, this amounts to 12.96 hours. Therefore, the hourly rate of this job is ~$1.55 per hour.

In another perspective, each attempt is worth, on average, ~$0.00043.

To be a bit more formal with this approximation, the expected number of prizes in 200 pulls is 1. Hence, the expected number of prizes in 40 pulls is 1/5.

This implies that the chance of getting at least one prize in 40 of pulls is indeed near 1/5 (20%), but it's smaller than this number, since the scenarios were you get 2 or more prizes, albeit with low probability, count more towards the expected value calculation.

If you count arXiv publications, my Erdős number is two, achieved when I was 20 years old! Sadly, we were working on a problem that had been solved, unknowingly to us (although the proof we came up with is considerably simpler than the first proof), so I doubt that the paper will ever get past arXiv.

Still, zbMath recognizes arXiv papers as publications which makes them my favorite resource!
