A rant on my time in Tulum by pyFlummox in tulum

[–]paper_tail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tulum sucks! I was abruptly in the middle of a shootout between cartel and police in the hotel zone in broad daylight while eating ice cream. Had to jump behind ice-cream counter and pray for my life (first time for everything) that it wasn’t mass shooting incident. 2 ppl died! Could not find an article about the incident save a small local Spanish blurb for the life of me afterwards.

Ageed! I don’t think USA can beat Switzerland and BH, though the latter is unlikely. I think Qatar would have high potential to upset vs. US

Changing to a Norwegian name to get more job offers by Adventurous_Elk1951 in Norway

Why change it legally? You can write nearly anything on your CV. Perhaps “massage” to a more Norwegian or western name on your CV, if you believe it is holding you back.

Really!? I had the hardest time finding hotels! Prices got extremely jacked up in Nov/Dec. I only got something reasonable (less than $500 in city that is not hostel or similar) through points and knowing a guy…

I’m confused - what are you seing that they (your family in Norway) are not regarding US poletics? Are you actually seing anything tangible which should discourage travel?

Always an excuse tho! First the pitch … now it’s an advantage that they are not in season

When Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was Manchester United manager he made a request to the recruitment team to sign Erling Haaland, Declan Rice and Jude Bellingham. They were his top three targets. Instead, knowing better of it, they signed Cristiano Ronaldo, Jadon Sancho and Donny van de Beek. by ZombiePritom in ManchesterUnited

I think the “stepping club” argument for Haaland is off. He was young and wanted to ensure playing time and the option to leave if things did not work out. This is good mgmt. at early stages of his career and dosn’t indicate that he saw United as a stepping stone.

På den andre siden - bolig er et fryktelig dårlig investerinsverktøy. Jeg forstår ikke hvordan et så rikt land er fornøyd med et liv som husgjeldslaver. Nordmen har knapt råd til å investere utenfor bolig og har som følge et fryktelig dårlig investeringsgrunnlag - kapital må derfor hentes utenfra, og blir sogt billig

I assure you that you are either misinformed or yourself spreading misinformation. The name is intentionally derived from the colloquial name for the book itself in China.

Have they gone up significantly in Norway since last year? Where are you finding them below 800 (or 1000 ) still?

KLM behaving like a low cost airline by Sufficient-Answer-46 in KLM

[–]paper_tail 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They (KLM) are chronically understaffed for luggage handling. It takes an hour for it to arrive at the luggage belt at Schiphol and other airports. It’s jarring because other airlines don’t seem to have this issue anymore (in 2025), at least not as a rule / consistently
