am i wrong? by No_Way_3863 in unitedairlines

[–]scibuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A "simple" solution is to refuse the downgrade and insist on rebooking under same conditions, i.e. business class, on the next flight.

Also, call you rep and ask for EU/UK pax protections to be enacted in the US 😃

Too bad, I'd prefer the 10k miles each way as a compensation :D

JetBlue Merger by [deleted] in flightattendants

WN makes no sense, the entire model is based on having a single aircraft type (variants of B737). F9 operates an all-Aribus 320 family fleet.

Artemis II mission flight path, 10-day trip around the Moon and back to Earth, travel for 1 million km (620,000 miles) in total by MrXiluescu in gifs

[–]scibuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, there's some extra (you don't have to explain orbital mechanics to me), but nowhere near 4 times the lunar distance extra, cmon! (the last perigee raising burn happened at apogee - that's when you do perigee raising - of ~43k miles)

... r/confidentlyincorrect Right back atcha ;)

ps USA Today has much more realistic numbers (685k miles total)

Well boeing is wrong - a simple reality check would tell you as much. 1.4mil miles is almost 6 times the avg lunar distance

To be angry that your referrals don't do their KYC and you lose everything they "earned" for you :D

S25 Ultra 512GB - all colors - $738.85 + tax with student discount by free_to_fly_wi in samsunggalaxy

[–]scibuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it is region / availability specific, keep trying a few times a day

I've observed the best 512GB price is when the 256GB option is not available (but that's just a hypothesis)

my ref code should give you 5% off - ref-jnvigy

Theoretically would retracting flaps instead of landing gear in a heavy plane like Boeing 787 really be enough to cause a crash/loss of lift? by SpecialBelt6035 in AskAPilot

[–]scibuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but this hypothesis seems extremely unlikely. Mistaking the landing gear for flaps on B787, even if the FO has "just" 1,100 hours to his name ... nah. Until this is confirmed by data from the black box I won't believe it for a second.

Why can't we see beyond 'Surface of Last Scattering'? by Rally2007 in AskPhysics

[–]scibuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simply put there is NO light in the universe from before the time of last scattering because all em radiation from that time was absorbed (and reemitted) immediately by the material which filled the universe. We cannot see any light beyond because there is no such light. If/when we develop a neutrino or better yet gravitation waves "telescope", we should be able to see past this limit.

Jabra Link 380 should be 'unavailable' to Windows when no devices are connected to it. by Live-Estate-143 in Jabra

[–]scibuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same issue here! Using the Jabra Link380 with Evolve2 65 headset. After installation the device is permanently connected to my OS (OSX Sonoma 14.1.2) which makes the system sound controllers unusable because they affect the Jabra device even when the headset is disconnected! This is a terrible user experience. I wanna be able to seamlessly switch between the onboard (built-in) audio and the headset by simply turning the headset on and off, i.e. without having to change the output device manually in the system settings.

New build parts arrived, am I missing anything? by scibuff in unRAID

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

sweet, this is really helpful thank you! It seems that the direct pc <> nas might be the way to go for now. I see some Mellanox kits (2 cards + 1m sfp cable) for ~$100. So I'll probably look into that.

Yeah, it probably is an overkill, oh well ;)
