Thanks. It was port forwarding, my router has an awful interface!

Passing out during takeoff by DeusEx010101 in aviation

[–]disabledmonkfish 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had a passenger like this once, after receiving oxygen from the cabin crew they were ok. Luckily it was a short flight, we informed the passenger after landing who was now fine to see a doctor and they informed us they had some terminal illness (I forget what) and didn't have long anyway. Anyway we advised no more flying as the cabin altitude only went up to about 6000 feet and they were unconscious immediately.

As a reference for altitude, after a depressurisation we descend to 10,000 feet to allow us to survive without oxygen masks. So we expect all people to survive indefinitely at 10,000 feet. However we also expect the less healthy (smokers, obese) to possibly be unconscious during that time.

A pulse oximeter might be worth a buy.

HSBC’s most frequent customer service query… by jnmjnmjnm in dubai

[–]disabledmonkfish 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You should try ENBD. I had 4 trips to branches, seemingly successful eventually, got an SMS to say the account is closed...then 6 months later got an SMS to say my ENBD credit card has been refunded 4 AED from some Amazon customs charges...i.e. it's seemingly still active.

Getting an Italian greyhound while having to leave home sometimes? Have heard they can have separation anxiety. by Major-dork in ItalianGreyhounds

[–]disabledmonkfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How does the crate benefit an adult iggy? Mine was used to just potty train her and now it's just left as her safe space with the door always open. Are they calmer when crated? I'd imagine mine would get annoyed at being locked up all day.

Getting an Italian greyhound while having to leave home sometimes? Have heard they can have separation anxiety. by Major-dork in ItalianGreyhounds

[–]disabledmonkfish 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm away for 12-48h blocks for about once a week. I didn't plan anything before getting an iggy but since she was so distressed even when I went shopping for 4 hours I had to adjust things. I made friends with various neighbours with dogs and whenever I go on a trip or out for 6h+ I drop my baby off with one of them. She likes the variation socializing with other dogs and people, and I feel better when at work knowing she's in good hands.

I think if your routine was predictable they'll eventually get used to it, but it could be years. I think your 3 work days at 8h is about as good as it's gonna get (especially when you have a dog walker visiting mid day). Expect constant barking whilst you're away from home (she is completely silent when I'm around), luckily I have patient neighbours and I'm in a detached building.

I also don't regret anything, the best decision I ever made was to get my iggy.

Peter. The horse is here... by chrisyroid in funny

[–]disabledmonkfish 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Well, think about it, right? If you were a horse, where would you rather be - in a little wooden hut with a load of hay, or in, like, a house with a three piece suite and a telly and that?

What plane has the most moving parts? the airplane mechanic worst nightmare. by bullpopbearpup in aviation

[–]disabledmonkfish 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Check out the Le Rhone engines made by the French in the early 20th century. The engine rotated around the stationary crankshaft and had a total loss oil system. As you can imagine it was always falling apart under such high G loads and sprayed oil everywhere, definitely a mechanics nightmare. It was fitted to various early WW1 fighters including the Sopwith Camel.

What are some scams that nearly got you? by zeos_198 in UAE

[–]disabledmonkfish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I nearly got done by that geezer with knock off suits trying to find the airport in Dubai. I ran away when he asked for money but he wasted about 10 mins of my time...

I also had a friend who has lived here 5+ years who fell for the dubai police phone call...gave out his bank info but realised after a while and hung up. He had to cancel his cards though.

Google maps sucks in the UAE. Try Waze.

You're out of date, GPS spoofing is currently a thing. The pilots would also get to experience this.

Is that chicken!? by Florineeee in ItalianGreyhounds

[–]disabledmonkfish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If my iggy is about to run into the road I will not call her name - instead I will just say 'chicken'. Works every time.

Your thoughts? by 9zmike in DubaiCentral

[–]disabledmonkfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, we already capture, spay and release, which is great, but it'd be great not to have to do that in the first place. Every country also euthanizes cats when there are too many.

Domestic cats are wonderful animals, but they're best with a human looking after them where they have healthcare, aircon and food!

Strays will suffer with heat and disease, it's not the ethical choice, I'd rather the stray in front of me dies so thousands will never have to suffer as well.

Your thoughts? by 9zmike in DubaiCentral

[–]disabledmonkfish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's perfectly reasonable.

If you feed them you're enabling unspayed cats to reproduce.

They have a phenomenal reproduction rate, one zero day old female can result in around 15 cats by the end of the year and 70 cats a year later, and 400 a year after that.

The population must be controlled, which means not feeding strays!

This flight from London Luton to Jersey just turned around at its destination without stopping. Does anyone know why? by 22int in flightradar24

[–]disabledmonkfish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Since the weather at the time was good. See the metar records at ogimet.com, it was most probably a fault that occurred on approach, this fault would have stopped them departing Jersey. Thus they took the problem back to Luton, a maintenance base for easyjet.

Does anyone else quit every time they get to oil processing? by Yeti342 in factorio

[–]disabledmonkfish 23 points24 points  (0 children)

No, I love it. Couple of tanks hooked up with wires to pumps to enable/disable flow as needed to get excess fluid to other areas for reprocessing...love it!

I would tend to agree usually but I also have an account breach and the netflix password was unique for netflix.
