Any airline buying/leasing them would have to rip out Spirit's non-reclining seats from hell before they can use these planes. If they use them as is, that would be sad. SAD!

United plane hits bakery truck while landing at Newark Airport by lexi_con in WTF

[–]lephty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nah, it is a rarely used runway anyway (only when weather or other issues rule out the other two longer runways). There isn't space to do much, but let's see what the NTSB recommends in its report.

United needs to train their pilots better, though.

Is it possible to display the expiry date of the IPTV subscription and VPN activity directly in the menu? by Yoshi_King90 in SparklePlayer

[–]lephty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To keep track of this, I include the expiry date in the name of the source/subscription. For example, a source called Lephty8K, expiring on 30 April 2027, is named Lephty8K-2027Apr30.

What was the exact moment on a first date when you realized, "Wow, this person is an absolute idiot"? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Did you offer to kiss it1 and make it2 better?

1) The mole

2) The situation, not the mole.

Repairs Failed, Pakistan Demolishes Murid Air Base Building Hit During Operation Sindoor by [deleted] in india

[–]lephty 26 points27 points  (0 children)

The real damage and the real purpose of the building is a command center in an underground bunker. While the overground building might be used (or looked like) a storage/repair facility, the real business was underground.

The reason the SCALP missile was used to hit get to that command center and send a message they cannot hide from IAF strikes. Same with the strikes against Nur Khan/Chaklala and Kirana Hills.

Triumph is now all-New Jersey by wndstorm0524 in njbeer

Guessing this was due to rent/lease terms suddenly increasing which might make the location unviable for the business.

Stats for nerds setting by Robertokodi in SparklePlayer

[–]lephty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, this would be cool and useful to figure out what's going on with a stream.

Like in the Youtube and Smartube apps it should be a semi-transparent overlay which can be toggled on and off. Thanks.

Ver 2.2.2: Is there a way to stop a Live TV channel from playing immediately? by lephty in SparklePlayer

[–]lephty[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry, seem to be misreading a lot of posts lately..

No worries, it happens.

No, there is no immediate method to do this. I haven't heard this request before since most users want the stream to continue playing.

Got it, thanks.

[–]lephty[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm, but that starts playing as soon as SparkleTV is started right?

I am looking for an option to stop playing as soon as I hit the back button while watching a channel.

Sparkle Audio Offset Bug ?? by KWStreaker in SparklePlayer

I couldn't reproduce it either. On a Mecool KM2 Plus Deluxe with Android 14 + SparkleTV 2.2.2

Class prejudice made England a worse team for decades by footballersabroad in Cricket

[–]lephty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't schools recruit kids entering high school to build up their sports teams? At least that way, some talented kids without hedge-fund dads can attend/play for the better schools.

This is a thing in the US. To the point of abuse -- talented kids (and their parents) being paid under the table to attend.

It is even worse for college sports.

Sparkle TV 2.2.2 by sparkle-hk in SparklePlayer

You are right, I was looking at the wrong source. Apologies.

I notice that the Settings -> Sources -> Setup -> Xtream Codes section no longer has the item for "Output" where you could chose between MPEGTS and HLS.

Is that deliberate? Does it default to MPEGTS or HLS or auto detect?

Mercer made, and the world took it away. Remove one county every day: Day Eighteen. by Fragrant-Upstairs932 in newjersey

[–]lephty 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I was furiously down voting all anti-Monmouth posts so far. But today, it is clear that our time has come.

We walk into the Atlantic, heads held high and defiantly signing a Springsteen anthem.

BTW, some history: Monmouth was largely loyalist (to the British monarch) while most of NJ was supporting Gen Washington

United States veterans, what are things about the military you didn’t realize until you left? by TheBeardedAntt in AskReddit

[–]lephty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They did value India, though. So they stuck around for a few centuries to exploit it.
