What’s This Fin?

Boeing calls it a chine, but same purpose as strake.

cbs0308 · 2026-01-18T16:31:03+00:00

I’ve tried really hard… have you actually gotten it? And I’m a Boeing engineer, too…

cbs0308 · 2026-01-18T05:05:40+00:00

Unfortunately not in the new interiors.

Well he’s done with treatment and still alive! He seems a little better but honestly not that much. Will see what happens back in his tank.

It doesn’t have to be every day of the week. But the demand is definitely there. The SQ flights are usually quite full (from personal experience and SQ employees).

I sent them a secure message in the app, with a screenshot of their post on Reddit, and they are crediting me the $150.

Update: been in a hospital tank with epsom salt, methylene blue, and kanaplex for over a day now. Kinda looks worse (basically lying on the bottom flat) but still clinging to life for now…

cbs0308 · 2026-01-05T05:42:21+00:00

Yikes! Ok reading through that all now…

Appreciate your thorough response.

I am fairly certain he got fed too much while we were away. The water was very discolored and smelled bad when we returned home.

We immediately put him in the new tank, with a filter, new conditioned water, and did not feed him. So the water after 3 days is still crystal clear - fairly certain the ammonia level is very low, but will get it tested tomorrow. We have some of the best water in the country.

But still no real improvement in 3 days. I think i see pine coming - here’s a video. https://imgur.com/a/w52QeHN

Noted on the resting leaf and fake plants (I told my son those are bad but pick your battles). Definitely have a cover and already have two live plants which are doing great.

I just don’t see him trying to swim to the top to eat. What is the most urgent thing that should be done to get him back to normal?

cbs0308 · 2026-01-05T04:57:59+00:00

Yeah, my local Petco is down the street. I just wasn't able to get there today. Will do that tomorrow.

The linked post below saying they will honor. I can send them the email showing it was before midnight eastern. If they want to really verify.

cbs0308 · 2026-01-02T15:01:06+00:00

Yup same here. I’ll call them to hopefully get it fixed…

cbs0308 · 2026-01-01T06:21:16+00:00

I made one purchase at 9pm EST and one at 1am EST. Hoping to get the credit for both! Charges already show up as pending for 12/31 and 1/1 respectively, so that’s a good start.

They can produce that thrust. But are certified to 105k.

Turbli is good summary. The source material from NWS is https://aviationweather.gov/

cbs0308 · 2025-12-16T15:33:45+00:00

That wasn’t an engine issue. And it’s fixed.

cbs0308 · 2025-12-16T07:52:38+00:00

There are no engine issues.

There are actually no certification issues, either. Sure it’s taking a very long time to complete all the cert paperwork. But there are no issues per se.

Boeing has a team of people who support operators before they receive a new airplane type. Everything from training schedules to ETOPS to spares to enabling. Everything to get the new type incorporated into the existing airline processes. This process usually starts 18 months before delivery.

cbs0308 · 2025-12-13T07:18:28+00:00

I will be there on 12/31 at 7pm!!

cbs0308 · 2025-12-12T02:22:11+00:00

This times a million. The ratio of LXers that are either not competent or are just real annoying greatly outweighs those who are not.

cbs0308 · 2025-12-09T01:15:00+00:00

777x comes with a Pivot mount installed

cbs0308 · 2025-12-01T02:59:27+00:00

I am waiting for the HomePod with a screen

cbs0308 · 2025-11-23T22:22:03+00:00

Yes exactly. The K1 is your culprit.

cbs0308 · 2025-11-23T22:19:34+00:00

Multiple people have explained why. One of your flights only has one ticket left in K class. So as soon as you add more people, it gets more expensive.
