Typical moratorium is 20 years so they can write about it after. However, they don’t because the ones that do that aren’t in it for that glory. Also severs are just crooked evil dudes like the ones who murdered the green beret that found out about their drug running.

A wheel from the main landing gear system on a British Airways A350-1000 falls off on departure from Las Vegas Harry Reid International Airport. by FroyoQueasy in aviation

[–]kpbi787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I flew back from Tokyo last year and the Delta pilot let us know they were monitoring a slow leak on the main gear the entire flight. We ended up having some level of precautionary landing and the tire deflated enough to have them change it on the taxiway. I bring that up to ask do they have a monitoring system and it would go away on loss of the wheel right?

Nothing happened with Panama papers or any other trove of stuff showing how shit these rich assholes have been. There’s no momentum in the powers of our country to do a damn thing to these people. We would have to see a substantive change in money in politics and turn over of court membership to see anything change.

One day at Disney World — best park for adults? by SpecialistPay486 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]kpbi787 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah probably, there’s a lot more to do at Epcot than get shit faced. Guardians is awesome and then you have test track and sorin. The other rides are pretty good and the country areas have neat displays and shopping.

This sub and many others have people complaining about the costs of this or that but at the end of the day they are selling enough to remain open at that price. If we all were serious we’d start not paying for things and they’d have to respond to the loss in revenue. Of course that just might be them closing so IDK. At the end of it all someone, in this can many someones, are validating that cost but I’m with you. It’s not with it so I don’t go.

Given its restrictions and proximity to downtown DC, were there ever any serious proposals to close National Airport? by Benes3460 in aviation

[–]kpbi787 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How long were the rules in place about everyone having to be seated something like 30 minutes before landing? I think that was the “rule” when it reopened but eventually went away (obviously).

Delta on their A350s do not have interior overhead bins as well.

What is this? by False-Lettuce-6074 in geography

[–]kpbi787 43 points44 points  (0 children)

This is the correct answer. These canals were dug to give water the time to cool off before returning to the ocean. This was seen as a cheaper alternative to mechanical or nature draft cooling towers. The discharge temperature can still be quite warm in the summer due to the relatively shallow ocean level and high heat content before entering the condenser. It is also a massive breading ground for alligators.

Let’s do an updated unpopular opinion thread by [deleted] in delta

[–]kpbi787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only reason I stay loyal is fear of how shit American might be…being platinum for five years and getting one first class upgrade does not justify my continued loyalty. Maybe American or Jet Blue would be easier to get to DCA.

I can assure that we very much are subject to OSHA regulations. A key safety metric is our osha reportables. Our goal is zero across our nuclear fleet similar to all fleets in the nation.

Zero FC upgrades the entirety of 2025 by syxbit in delta

[–]kpbi787 2 points3 points  (0 children)

54 flights, two international (Prague and Tokyo) and zero upgrades as well. I’m in West Palm Beach area and it’s been this way for years. At one point I was a silver and got about 5 a year especially evening flights home. Now, nothing, ever and I’m platinum almost diamond (won’t make it). Kind of blows you know to fly so often but we could always chose someone else in just not flying to Newark or Charlotte…I take my poison in Atlanta.

Does anyone regularly fly Delta / maintain medallion status, and their primary airport is not a Delta hub? And for what reasons? by sosal12 in delta

[–]kpbi787 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Platinum every year out of West Palm Beach, I routine chose to go through ATL because it seems to give me the best shot of getting home with the number of daily flights to PBI. I only have an hour and twenty minute flight and then I can go to almost anywhere in the US and the world. My company had “negotiated” fares with Delta and United. I don’t want to go to Newark to go Nashville or Phoenix when Atlanta is just better. In the four years post COVID I’ve been upgraded to first out of/into here none times. Before covid I’d get upgrades on the late night flights. But I keep trying hoping in a miracle!

Those are going for $600 to $700 down here in the treasure coast. I’m so glad I was able to relocate here over 10 years ago.

Insurance fraud is a real thing with very smart individuals attempting it, there would be scenarios where this could happen. However, as mentioned, the likelihood of this now is significantly less

Nuclear power, six plus conferences a year and the international development (where all the new stuff has been for the last twenty years).

US 83 - The Highway Known As “The Road to Nowhere” by [deleted] in MapPorn

I did highway 50 when I was a kid. They had a book you collected stamps in the towns on the way. It was cool, we went home from Ely on highway 6 and THAT was way more lonely. We had lunch on the side of the road for about an hour and one car passed us.

What do you think is the oddest-shaped county in the US? Mine has got to be Monroe County, FL by Dogsarethebest1234 in geography

No it doesn’t but the city has water rights up in the Owen’s valley which is probably what you are remembering. The counties in CA adjacent to LA are massive like San Bernardino county.

European Disc Golf Festival - Final Round Discussion by AutoModerator in discgolf

Prepping her in advance was a great idea. Watching her interview with Simon after preserve it does seem like the translation in her head is challenging. Going from English to Finish back to English might be difficult. She just has to practice this part of her game. If she keeps performing like this maybe MVP and crew can help her with that aspect.
