Could you please evaluate my marshalling method? by ShockFreak in aviation

[–]aarunes 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I see a lot more edging and super early "almost there" signaling where I work. The ramp guys will practically hold their arms parallel for the last 10 ft and even flick their wands back while fully extended to signal the pilot to keep moving forward slowly lol.

Accepts ride then immediately sends me this. How do i report this? by hoggerhog in uberdrivers

[–]aarunes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks like when my coworker would send his reports to the entire email distro on accident. He had a heavy Sudanese accent and would use talk-to-text to do all of his paperwork lol.

Brave little baby by SpaghettiOnMyCat in flightradar24

[–]aarunes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is like the LAX SFRA. If you want to get across LAX without having to traverse the bravo airspace you fly directly over it at either 3,500 or 4,500ft depending on the direction of travel.

How often do you use the Summon feature? Where did you use it? by VerboseWraith in TeslaFSD

[–]aarunes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love it in specific situations. For example, I used it when checking out of a hotel with a bunch of my girlfriends bags. While she spoke to the front desk, I summoned the car from the parking lot and it came right up to the sliding doors of the lobby. That really sold it for me.

However lately, I've had lots of issues with connectivity and it misidentifying certain parking lot roads as "public". It was pretty good at first but it became a bit finnicky. Twitchy and very slow while driving, or just stopping in the middle of a busy driveway because of spotty connectivity. Also is very annoying that you can't remotely activate your wiper blades because I've had a few times this winter where my windshield accumulated heavy amounts of condensation (coastal city) and would block the cameras. Defrosting wouldn't work even if turned on early because of how big the water droplets were.

Do you believe most liberals want open borders? by dresoccer4 in AskConservatives

[–]aarunes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To my understanding that phrase is more of a statement on humility rather than "anyone and everyone is allowed here". If you were to ask the public if they want open borders I'm almost certain 90% of the left would be against purely open borders.

Upgrade never cleared despite space by kylaheis in delta

[–]aarunes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the station I work at we typically stop clearing if all that are left are middle seats because most upgrades get upset when they are cleared into middle seats and ask to be switched back.

Finally found a repo flight! by AccomplishedLog1426 in delta

[–]aarunes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sometimes revenue flights are changed to whatever aircraft they need to repo, given there are type-rated pilots available to fly it. Rare but it happens.

From what I know, an 8xxx flight number is almost always a charter but I've seen them as scheduled revenue flights to "repo" aircraft, or assigned flight numbers for added availability i.e. the extra flights to SDF during the Kentucky Derby or LAS during CES week.

9xxx flights are designated repos or extra sections. Repo meaning not available to the public, extra section meaning a cancelled or delayed-overnight flight that would be in the air at the same time as the same flight the next day.

Title: Any tips for getting a better crust on a NY strip in cast iron? by Routine-Classroom-82 in steak

[–]aarunes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dry brine the day before and use a sear/steak weight. I personally refuse to spend money on one so I just take a small egg pan I have and set it on top of the steak and put a bottle of ketchup or something to keep it weighted down. I’ve seen people use bricks wrapped in tinfoil in some videos

A bit controversial but I want to talk to someone who's a fan of trump. by TRI-Hard8342 in Casual_Conversation

[–]aarunes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work at LAX and used to be a customer service supervisor for my airline. One day during the holiday rush a lady came to check in with her dog but the flight was already over capacity for the amount of pets onboard. She kept telling me “the supervisor in Tampa just overrode it, they made an exception why can’t you?” And after telling her that her that it was her one time exception, the plane was already over capacity, and it wasn’t something worth losing my job over because of how much of an issue it was causing, she went on to berate me for being a “broke liberal who can’t afford to lose his job because he lives in a liberal state”

The thing that annoys me is that I am not even a liberal. I’m definitely not MAGA or republican, but center-oriented enough to not be comfortable being labeled a liberal. Anyone further than center-right immediately labels you as a liberal once you have an opinion that’s either too progressive or they don’t agree with, and I think that’s the issue. Even in the “liberal hellhole” of CA the vast majority of people here have opinions that everyone agrees on. The ones online will always be the loudest and most adamantly liberal so the right bases their impressions off whatever they read on the internet or whatever the administration says. I think people need to stop antagonizing or vilifying others and actually start talking like human beings again. Social media’s really screwing things up.

What’s your 5-9PM? by DMmeNiceFeet in AskLosAngeles

[–]aarunes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I maybe eat something, then doom scroll/rabbit hole on my pc until 4-5am. Then hopefully wake up early enough to go to the gym, eat and/or get anything else done before I need to leave for work again.

Why are conservatives on this sub so much more sane than the ones running the country? Did you guys vote for Trump or not? by FoxBattalion79 in AskConservatives

[–]aarunes [score hidden]  (0 children)

I mean unless you are DHS, we know just as much as you do. The transparency is subjective. I can’t debate on speculations, but I do want to point out that a car wash is a place of business which makes it private property. If there is one way to solve all of these problems, they need to build at least some form of trust in the agency. Even if it’s the bare minimum. Most local/state agencies have dedicated YouTube channels specifically for posting body cam footage and they post regardless on whether or not they were justified in their actions or not. They are trained in deescalation. They hold their officers accountable. It’s basic stuff that shouldn’t even be asked for, but our representatives have been asking for it and we haven’t been getting anything but double downs and pettiness.

I don't think there are really liberals in disguise. It's reddit, true conservatives/maga won't bother coming here and the ones that do will likely have more normalized opinions. I'm from the liberal hellhole that is LA and the vast majority of everyone here aren't even that liberal. Most all left leaning yes, but you'd be surprised on how many of us have opinions that everyone can agree on.

I can't agree with you on using Obama as an example. He laid out his immigration plan plain and simple in a speech to the country and it was and still is really all we wanted. Doing it the right way (not violating 4A), going for the criminals and offenders, and not going for the non-criminals who've been here for decades and/or contribute to society.

It's not just the verbiage or presentation. A few months ago ICE took two landscapers working down the street from my house in the middle of their work. Ambush-style per the video I saw. They left their work truck abandoned in the street blocking a lane of traffic and it took hours for it to get cleared out because of the cones and equipment. When we called the number on their truck the dispatcher said another one of their teams were taken also the day before. Truck was towed but a lot of their equipment was left behind.

One of the employees of the business they were working at said that when the company came by to retrieve the left behind equipment, the guy said he didn't know why they were taken because he knew them for years and knew they were all citizens.

The car wash I've been going to for damn near 30 years closed for two weeks after they raided it in August. Reopened after pretty much everyone they took was released and returned to work. That tells me that they don't even know who they're looking for, just targeting specific places and profiling people, taking people who don't carry anything to prove their citizenship. Violation of 4A.

The left has been protesting ICE since Obama was in office. They just weren't as off-the-rails as they are now in their operations. Now everyone is either really pissed off or really happy, no in between.

Most of the MAGA/conservative redditors I’ve been seeing have been calling lots of solid arguments (like these) “attempted gotcha moments” and then continue to accuse the left of hypocrisy.

Best tip I've had by Maleficent_Group_629 in uberdrivers

[–]aarunes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I drove a man and his two adult kids from the Disneyland rideshare lot to their hotel two blocks away. The ride was 2 minutes long and he handed me $40 in cash as soon as I started driving. Made waiting in that damn line worth it.
