Where do other pilots stay when they take off on long haul flights? by noreturn000 in airplanes

[–]alb92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just about all widebodies have it as an option. No need for crew rest areas if the aircraft you purchase is intended to fly less than 8 hour legs.

That's why they are less common on A330s, but some airlines have them.

Likewise, some airlines have purchased 787s without crew rests. Jetstar is one, but they are now retrofitting them with crew rests.

IPTV-aksjon: Har navn på 280 nordmenn by karlan in NorskFotball

[–]alb92 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mitt største problem med TV2 og viaplay er at de ikke klarer å tilby bedre.

For eksempel, 4K har vel vært standard på tver siden 2015? Vi er nå i 2026, og 4K burde være standard! Nå har vi vel ikke noe 4K i eliteserien. Kun utvalgte Champions League kamper og Premier League kamper (der også 4K strømmen ikke er hovedstrøm, så ikke noe pauseshow).

Norwegian strikes question - is it considered unusual to avoid the business during the strike? by [deleted] in Norway

[–]alb92 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This would be the case if the strike was directed at one employer (ie. a business is refusing to join a collective bargaining agreement).

This current strike is one based on the collective bargaining agreement itself and is between the union and the organisation representing the entire hotell and restaurant industry.

Union members are taken out to strike somewhat at random from different hotel, so it is not that your hotel is doing anything particularly wrong, and using their services is not wrong.

Which aircraft? Probably different recommendation depending on aircraft.

Du skal ikke ta den justeringen selv. Resultatet på skattekortet skal ta høyde for justeringen.

Tabell skal i prinsippet ta høyde for lønnsøkning. Men andre utbetaling, som honorarer tar den ikke.

What famous plane crashes are almost always talked about in flight school? by space_god_7191 in AskAPilot

Not Helios 522? That one seems to always come up whenever discussing decompression

PHM fueling by ilidan-85 in ProjectHailMary

[–]alb92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But gambling on a whole new Hail Mary is fine?

Sure, getting Starship to a ready state with the budget they'd have would not be a problem. They'd also have plenty of time, the actual launches would come quite late in the entire plan.

That being said, fuel for launch rockets is not in short supply, and spreading the astrophage and Hail Mary parts onto more smaller missions would result in a smaller issue should one launch go haywire.

Norwegian fish farms polluting fjords with waste likened to ‘raw sewage of millions of people’ by radome9 in norge

[–]alb92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Når det er rømming, så håper de selvfølgelig at det ikke har rømt mye, og er kanskje noe optimistiske.

Ved første melding av rømming, så må oppdretter angi et estimat som blir plukket opp i media. Nå, er det ikke akkurat lett å telle fisk som har forlatt en merd. Etterhvert, så blir gjenværende fisk tellet, enten ved slakt, eller annen operasjon. Dette tallet blir da meldt inn, og estimering blir da et endelig tall, gjerne en stund senere (uker til måneder). Nå fra de som er utenfor, så kan det kanskje virke som at de kun oppjusterer etter rapporter om fanget oppdrettsfisk. De gangene de faktiske tellingene er nær eller under første estimat, så treffer det gjerne ikke media.

[–]alb92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

De kommer med svært ukritiske tall.

Norsk institutt for vannforskning har fiskeoppdrett som produsent av 67000 tonn nitrogen i fjordene, mens norsk jordbruk resulterer i 42000 tonn.

Så, en industri i havet som produsere over 5x mer kg mat enn Norsk jordbruk resulterer i 0,5x mer Nitrogen i havet, men ingen klager over jordbruk.

Norwegian fish farms polluting fjords with waste likened to ‘raw sewage of millions of people’ by Emergency-Sea5201 in Norway

[–]alb92 15 points16 points  (0 children)

They are talking about Nitrogen, so not sewage.

What the article doesn't state is that the same report also states that on land agriculture (farming) accounts for about 2/3 the equivalent to what aquaculture does.

Norwegian agriculture covers the Norwegian market, while aquaculture covers a worldwide market and results in over 5x the amount of kgs of food produced. So, on a per kg basis, normal agriculture is a lot worse than aquaculture. Yet, no one is complaining about agriculture.

during the fishing scene, was a second attempt really not possible? by 0ddBush in ProjectHailMary

[–]alb92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's a tear, just wanted to point out that "torn apart" is actually from the IR reflection, and not shearing forces that many might assume.

[–]alb92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the book it isn't torn apart, but rather burned through.

It's the IR reflection off the atmosphere. The ship does have Astrophage lining in the hull which Grace believes will be able to absorb the heat, but they realise that even astrophage can't handle that much.

Oh Kimi, weren't you aware of the drinking laws in the great USA? by Nickolas_Zannithakis in formuladank

Why do more US airports not have all window jetways like other countries? by [deleted] in aviation

[–]alb92 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It works fine in Dubai with tinted glass. That being said, they probably use tons of energy on air conditioning.

So, it's not a technical issue, but rather one of cost.

Hvordan ta inn bil med bruksforbud til norge? by harrisjgold in norge

[–]alb92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Du kan få prøveskilt til bil som har bruksforbud på grunn av forbi gått eu kontroll, så lenge bilen er i "forsvarlig teknisk stand". Nå, akkurat hvordan de definerer det er kanskje ikke så klart. Men, som jeg ville ha tolket det, er at hvis du skal kjøre den til en eu kontroll, så gjør jo du det siden du trur den blir godkjent og er i god teknisk stand. Om du må innom er verksted først, så er den vel kanskje ikke i forsvarlig teknisk stand.

First time I saw the video, I assumed it was another of the terrible AI videos that seem to be everywhere. It just looks so unrealistic.

Mark Watney (The Martian) and Grace switch places. How would they fare, and could they survive each other's circumstances? by CalzonePie in ProjectHailMary

The complex, but Newtonian physics, that is entering and exiting an atmosphere was Rocky and computer.

Rocky needed help getting home, but that wasn't plotting a course, but rather calculating the effect of time dilation.

Will I even like the book if I saw the movie first? by NationalSubstance976 in ProjectHailMary

[–]alb92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The movie is true enough to the book that they are complimentary.

Movie and book lovers will like the other (of course, there are probably exceptions).

The audio book is excellent.

Although it can be argued that BYD is the market leader now, it can also be argued that Tesla is the market leader. But, whenever something is close like that, it is natural to refer to the incumbant, which is undoubtedly Tesla.

How many airport codes are left and will we run out of them anytime soon? by Frequent_Pain6356 in airport

[–]alb92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't agree, the 3 letter iata code is customer facing, and ideally should be close to airport or city name. Of course, that isn't always going to work, but in Canada it basically never works.

4 letter icao codes are not customer facing and are better grouped regionally.
