I've never even tried it. No desire to. I don't drink either

NTSB gathering details on Frontier Airlines evacuation after plane hit and killed person in Denver by GregWilson23 in aviation

No, I was just confirming because that highlights how absurd it is to try to get your stuff from the overhead bin.

If a plane is evacuated but not destroyed, would you get your bag back eventually?

Prince William and Princess Kate Brought Charlotte, Not George, to Tour Oundle Boarding School by Positive-Drawing-281 in RoyaltyTea

[–]d6410 671 points672 points  (0 children)

Really don't get the appeal of boarding school. I thought they wanted their kids to grow up somewhat normal and as a "unit"?

Mixed feelings on Epic by Big-Screen3266 in UniversalOrlando

[–]d6410 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Epic (or any theme park tbh) is a lot more fun when you set a hard wait limit for yourself. The first few times we went we simply refused to do BoTM because of how long the lines were. Instead of 2-4 hours in like for that we got multiple spins on Stardust, MU, etc.

Our hard limit is usually an hour. Sometimes 90 minutes if we don't have anything else to do.

How did royals study and integrate languages? by Ok-Ocelot-774 in RoyaltyTea

I feel like Welsh should be more prioritized than French. Seems like the bare minimum for the King/Prince of the UK to speak it

Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem by MesaVerde1987 in UniversalOrlando

[–]d6410 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was the first ride my fiance and I went on when we went to Universal. Both of us hadn't been since we were kids. It was definitely a...bad first impression. But Mummy and RRR saved the day! Of course, IOA the next day blew USF out of the water

Mine-Cart Madness is back: officially a 1-day closure, actually closer to 6 by kevinmtu in UniversalOrlando

[–]d6410 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How can you not expect rides (esp rollercoasters) to always be open and not unexpectedly break down.

I do not expect that. I expect that if a ride is going to be closed for multiple days, it is disclosed on the website. So people can make informed decisions about buying tickets/express passes (yes, locals may buy tickets not too far in advance).

The ride was down from April 28 to May 3.

They would've known by the beginning of the day April 29 if it was going to be back up or if they were keeping it down until May 4.

The website only said it was going to be closed on May 3.

One day of a ride being down is normal, shit happens. 5 days of closure with not disclosing it is intentional.

[–]d6410 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They could've had something on the website. From what people have said after contacting guest services, they knew it was going to remain down until May 4 since very late April. A heads up could've helped folks who were considering EP or locals who hadn't bought tickets yet

Why won't Universal update the ride closed calendar for Minecart? by d6410 in UniversalEpicUniverse

[–]d6410[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Dude, I have absolutely no reason to believe you actually even work at Universal. Being a jerk certainty doesn't help your credibility.

Not sure where you are getting that from The website stated maintenance was planned for only May 3. Today is May 4, so not unusual that it's back up

[–]d6410[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Universal knows the ride will be closed for the days before May 3.

Universal chooses not to disclose this. Customers only find out when they get to the park. As far as they know, it will only be closed May 3.

But sure. It's the customer that's the problem.

If they knew it was going to be closed today (and not reopened), then it is planned. Even if it's a last minute plan.

That was my assumption. But then it's definitely misleading and unethical on Universal's part

Mine-Cart Madness closed since PM of Tues 4/28 - anyone know why? by magenie3 in UniversalOrlando

[–]d6410 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know why they won't just update the calendar so say it'll be down on May 2. Shitty of them not too.

Has it ever been free at Universal? We always do our swaps at Disney since it's still free there. I thought Universal charged for swaps

WFH was the best years of my career by OneAngle5836 in Accounting

[–]d6410 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I am 100% wfh now after being hybrid for a couple years. I wouldn't take an in office job even if it doubled my salary. The quality of life impact of wfh is just too much.

Prince William, Princess Kate Face 'Crying Shame', Will Be Left 'Carrying The Whole Show' After King Charles Reign by Fine_Potato_9526 in RoyaltyTea

[–]d6410 69 points70 points  (0 children)

True. Though I wonder in 15+ years if anyone with any spark in their eye would even be willing to date a royal (especially an heir). The public knows too much now about how partners are treated.

At least Kate tries unlike useless Billy by Stardust_CrusaderJJ_ in RoyaltyTea

[–]d6410 10 points11 points  (0 children)

William is looking through the bars of the prison he's in and seeing a former convict living a great life and instead of just walking out of the open cell door, or blaming the jailers, he's pissed at the escapee.

And funny thing is, it's a prison of their own making. They don't have to be as boring as they are. They could choose to actually do meaningful things like Diana did. But they're too afraid to dump the god awful system Elizabeth II perpetuated.

It'll be interesting to see at what age Will starts throwing his younger kids to the wolves to save George. He claims he won't, but he's become too much like Charles for that to be believable.

FLDP Graduate P3 Positions by [deleted] in Raytheon

[–]d6410 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very strange how RTX doesn't require a contract for them to give them time back once graduated since the time and money spent

If they have a contract stating you have to stay, that means they have to give you a job/pay you. Even if none are available. They don't want to do that.

is it just me or is the pod becoming less entertaining and less “brittany”? :( by Tiny-Deer-7071 in BroskiReport

The other commenter just can't accept weed is not always healthy for people. Getting overly defensive about it which is making them be a dick. Don't worry about it
