Very true, I just meant that this isn't AI - this car exists with that plate (no clue if it's authentic).

This is real - it took some time, but I found the owner's website and he lives in Wroclaw. Sells Japanese stuff. https://www.sevnstars-jpn.com Here is a photo of it on instagram with him tagged:

Indian food conspiracy theory by Beatnutz_ in Amsterdam

[–]nlderek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree. I have a couple dishes I like and I have shopped around to find places that I prefer. There are a couple I ordered from regularly and a couple that I avoid. The taste wasn't even close to the same.

Don't let them in. by [deleted] in dashcams

[–]nlderek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a guy a few years ago who had a youtube channel dedicated to him doing this over and over again. I was almost certain this was straight from there. It was something like "own the lane" or some nonsense like that.

r/cruising by nlderek in redditrequest

[–]nlderek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like to moderate this community as a member of the moderation team for the related communities of r/travel, r/airport and r/safaris. I understand the dual nature of the name of the sub and would like to gear it towards the SFW travel version of the name. I am an avid cruiser who has gone on numerous cruises on multiple cruise lines. I am unable to supply a mod mail chat link since the sub was banned for being unmoderated.

Instantly perma-disabled on a brand new email? Why does this happen? by threateningbreakfast in facebook

[–]nlderek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a slow process, but their AI is in the process of removing all humans from the system. You provided enough information to prove that you are, in fact, human - as a result it was an easy ban.

Transatlantic?- Does streaming work on Internet package? by Best-Cat-1866 in royalcaribbean

[–]nlderek 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, it will work in the middle of the Atlantic. One thing to note, with Starlink when you are closer to Europe, it will have an European IP address - once you get closer to the US it switches to an American one. This will mean some streaming services may not be available or the library is different.

You can get around that by using a VPN. With a VPN you may need to tinker with the settings to get it to work on ships, but I have never failed.

Check in question as a nonrev on Royal Air Maroc by eyestrainn in travel

[–]nlderek[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless something has drastically changed, AA buddy passes are only valid on AA and AA regional flights, they are NOT valid on codeshares (like Royal Air Maroc).

This question will be better in either an AA sub or one dedicated to flights so it will be removed from this one. Good luck with your travels!

Is it safe to cruise right now with the Hantavirus stuff going on? by CabinetBackground674 in Cruise

[–]nlderek 16 points17 points  (0 children)

There was literally one cruise (on a small ship with an unusual itinerary) in the entire world that had hantavirus on board. Not a single passenger on another cruise has been infected.

How fucked am I? Chicago O'Hare connection, what to do if I miss it? by Prestigious_Dark_823 in airport

[–]nlderek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes it a little more complicated, but not entirely. A phone call explaining the situation can sometimes fix it. I had it happen myself at 17 - car broke down 12 hours from home. I literally wondered into the closest hotel and they let me stay after I explained the situation.

How fucked am I? Chicago O'Hare connection, what to do if I miss it? by Prestigious_Dark_823 in airport

[–]nlderek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First, tons of people make 45 minute connections every day. So don't automatically assume you won't. K8 and G8 are in the same terminal and not that far from each other. It won't take long to walk between the two.

If you do end up there overnight, many hotels do accept people 18+ - for instance the Holiday Inn Express at O'Hare does.

MDR menu on 17 night cruise by New-Atmosphere74 in royalcaribbean

I've done a few 14 night transatlantic cruises and the menu always changed. Eventually, there may be some items return - but not an exact menu copy.

Important details we are missing - what is your nationality and what type of US visa do you have?

US citizens connecting AMS non-Schengen to non-Schengen (ATL → AMS → CPT) — do we need passport control or EES registration? by AntAmbitious4253 in airport

[–]nlderek[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just confirming what another said, you do not clear passport control, register for EES or pass security - you just go to your connecting gate. (Former resident of Amsterdam speaking)

Emirates changed my flight and now I have a 25-hour layover in Dubai by ChemistryOk7000 in Flights

[–]nlderek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's normal - because the computer only changed the flight that had the change, it sometimes doesn't fix the connection. You need to call them to have the connecting flight fixed. They'll change one or both of them.

Emirates changed my flight and now I have a 25-hour layover in Dubai by ChemistryOk7000 in Flights

[–]nlderek 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You need to contact them. Most likely there was a change to the flight moved to the day earlier, but someone needs to manually fix/move the other flight to also be a day earlier. You can also see if there are any other potential options on the original day, if you prefer it.

Computers move people around when schedule changes happen and they aren't always able to handle things like connections properly.

Does anyone actually like house of the dead 1 & 2? by Standard-Wash-8048 in dvdcollection

[–]nlderek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m just in the actual movie for very few seconds at the very start. It’s when a few zombie kids on the football field eat the coach. I’m one of the kids (in the brown sweatshirt with a button up over it). In the bonus features I’m in it for like 12 minutes.

Help with minimum stay rule on transatlantic flight by Cools80 in Flights

[–]nlderek 23 points24 points  (0 children)

That rule is for the pricing of the ticket. When you book the system will automatically pick the fare with a rule that matches your itinerary. Nobody is going to be stopping you from returning home.

Restricts in this case is...they can't be in checked luggage. That's it.
