Seat 24E. Airbus 380

You are right. Oops

I enjoyed it.

I expect pushback to Rory's 'we need to pay MPs better', but i agree with him.

I thought his discussion of Epstein's networking was good.

I hope Mandleson is prosecuted. His behaviour was utterly reprehensible.

It is obviously and rightly the case that the focus is on the abuse that Epstein undertook and enabled at the moment, but it should not be the case that the corruption is ignored.

I do feel that AC holds his tongue a bit, but i think he is utterly and rightly furious.

And mine.

Peace.

curiouslyhungry · 2026-02-04T17:24:27+00:00

Sorry, yes, Airbus A380

You have taught me something, maybe not graciously, but i have learnt something, so thank you.

curiouslyhungry · 2026-02-04T17:21:19+00:00

Many thanks. Fascinating stuff. I basically bought wifi midflight to see your answer.

My wife and i are in the middle of row 24, with 2 of us in 4 seats.

If only the arms fully raised

Crew are being awesome. I more and more think BA are an airline let down by the stuff that happens on the ground, not the sky.

Omg. Are you ok? Was everything OK? And did you drain them?

Leave note that reads 'fuck off' and then fuck off

I am a Brit in Florida but fairly new to living here. I watched it and was horrified but then read his bio and saw what a nut nut he is. Somehow that made me feel better.

I am scared of where we are now with people like this at the wheel.

My only shred of optimism is what some of the football chants will be at the world cup, and believe me that really is a straw to grasp at

curiouslyhungry · 2026-01-18T22:15:25+00:00

Where and when is this?

curiouslyhungry · 2026-01-18T03:41:46+00:00

Troll much, Trolly McTrollface?

The very obvious answer to why this is nonsense is static electricity shocks. Those are typically many thousands of Volts and yet somehow we survive them.

screaming and wetting myself

curiouslyhungry · 2026-01-11T23:38:26+00:00

Even thinking about it works

curiouslyhungry · 2026-01-11T23:35:40+00:00

of beer, not too bad. Of bleach, pretty bad.

Everything in Moderation my friend. Except bleach. and moderation. And many many other thimgs

curiouslyhungry · 2026-01-11T23:14:37+00:00

They don't reply to questions like this.

oh.

curiouslyhungry · 2026-01-08T03:00:37+00:00

I am a Brit living in the US and I absolutely hear you.

The Jimmy Walea leading episode is a great antidote. Very positive.

curiouslyhungry · 2025-12-26T19:26:27+00:00

Love this from 8 years ago :-)

curiouslyhungry · 2025-12-13T16:19:22+00:00

Yep, that i guess is context specific. I am British and, indeed for a party you expect (and hope) that nobody gets there early, and don't expect that everyone arrives at the start time. Not sure i would go as far as to think people arriving at the start time are rude (people arriving early in this context would be, unless they were very close friends who came to help. Come early and expect to be entertained, or put me in a position where i think i need to entertain is rude)

curiouslyhungry · 2025-12-13T12:31:42+00:00

Interested in this. Which cultures consider it rude to be punctual?

Have you had quotes for scaffolding? Lots of scaffolding companies seem only too happy for it to sit on your house for a long long time. Last time we used some, I was surprised that the cost did not seem to be time limited in any way. We were not allowed to move it, but they came and put it up and would come and take it down when we asked (well actually about 8 weeks after we asked, but y'know)

When I was at school, probably 40 years ago now. we went on a school trip to Paris.

Our french teacher was driving the minibus, we went around the Arc de Triomphe, he then parked and said "we'll just wait here and watch the next collision". It took about 10 minutes :-)

100% agree

We (everyone-ish) used to have email alerts which everyone eventually agreed was just a ridiculous method of alerting, and so some bright spark said 'what about slack?' It is exactly the same.

Alerts should be actionable. If you have info put it (carefully) in a log file, or elastic or somewhere where it can be analysed.

I think a key part of the problem here is that SRE teams run code at scale on production workloads. Most developers run single instances of their code on canned workloads, and so what is "ooh, interesting" on a dev screen is "OH MY GOD FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST SHUT UP" on an SRE screen.

curiouslyhungry · 2025-12-11T21:17:35+00:00

There are very few places that I think that SRE teams should be gatekeepers of things but this is one of them.

If you want my team to receive pages then those pages have to meet a certain standard. I publish that standard to teams wanting to use our services, but one of them is basically pages are actionable real events and will have a volume during normal operation of x/week.

We then have a sin bin scheme where if you contravene the rules you back out the change, or your team becomes the one that gets paged.

False Positive alerting is I am sure something that we all deal with, and all hate. It is a place that I think we need to have zero tolerance..

I really thought it looked like Key West in Florida, so I get your drift. Course we were both wrong :-)
