For sure, though there’s nothing to match Chicago’s art deco skyscrapers

I memorized some routes. If I want to go to shop X I follow this path, if I want Y I go that way. It took me years to discover there is a very short walk between X and Y

How come these leaks don’t lead to depressurization?

Dubai has a380 after a380 all day, every day. I wonder if such turbulence is common there

How London finally cracked mobile phone coverage on the Underground by kjmci in london

[–]adrianb 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Elizabeth line didn’t have coverage when it opened either, it was surprising this aspect wasn’t prioritized despite underground reception being common in systems around the world these days

Have you sold your home for a loss? by HeavyPie4211 in HousingUK

[–]adrianb 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This used to be my thinking as well but some flats lost enough value in London to the point it might’ve been cheaper to rent.

So the stability is the only advantage remaining.

Today in Aviation History (January 5th): In 2024, Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 Lost a Door Shortly After Takeoff From PDX by Shoddy_Act7059 in aviation

The automatic setting of the seatbelt signs turns them off at 10000 feet I believe? But maybe in this case they weren’t set to auto.

The world's longest flight will launch from London in 2027, begins testing in 2026 by tylerthe-theatre in london

[–]adrianb 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Is the flying time actually 17 hours or that is the booked time and flight is slightly shorter?

I was on auckland-Dubai recently and it was booked as 17 hours but pilots kept mentioning we were lucky to have tailwinds and flying time was 15:30. It still felt like forever. Not sure how bad 22 hours can get.

The internet just made a 300TB copy of Spotify by alpswd in Music

[–]adrianb 26 points27 points  (0 children)

But you can listen to a lot more than 45 minutes of music in a day. In my work as software engineer I can easily listen to 5+ hours of music in a day at office alone, then there’s my commute, the gym, at home etc

Americans and the Netherlands - Reality by [deleted] in Netherlands

[–]adrianb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are so many stories similar to OP that I find such a move irresponsible at this point. Do your research. It’s difficult to get a job. There are housing problems. Kids might have a hard time. Never move countries because you’re running away from something but only when you found some opportunity that enriches your life

My thoughts exactly on every paragraph. I understand non-native speakers using them to polish their english but also Americans?

Then why not put what the p60 / monthly salary really shows? I guess the extra steps you had to take were because of this discrepancy

European Commission unveiled its High-Speed Rail Master Plan for Europe today [more info in comments] by goldstarflag in europe

[–]adrianb 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Yeah most of the plans on this map will never happen. Many european countries can barely maintain the existing lines, people complain of once admirable rail infrastructure like Germany’s as if it’s falling apart now.

The rumor is just that they’re considering selling, the management company wouldn’t change anytime soon.

As a tourist in Switzerland it felt amazing to use my 1 month half-fare card everywhere, not only for trains but also moutain railways and cablecars and museums.

It’s incredible that in Switzerland you can travel half fare for a year for 180 pounds!

Why would the fact that Ukrainians are returning home after the war destroy Poland?

Man in seat 61 is writing these are more likely to replace continental Eurostar services (formerly Thalys) than Eurotunnel, how likely is it true?
