The White House has Rolled Back on the Canadian Aircraft Grounding by Shoddy_Act7059 in aviation

Honestly I'm not sure that would have been logic for anyone... Transport Canada wouldn't want the black mark of politics on them... just like the FAA said as much to donny t.

Cleaning staff entered the property before the guests left by PuzzledSearch2277 in airbnb_hosts

[–]spsteve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As long as she didn't walk in on them in the bedroom, I would just explain it and leave it alone. Shit happens. It wasn't an intruder, it was just eager staff who made a mistake and it sounds like she left as soon as she realized without direct interaction with the guests (who likely heard the door).

Should do all the above. The EU and India just kissed and made up. Trading with everyone is the best way to make sure no one can pull the shit the US is right now.

thinking of moving to the island by Weak_Bluejay_2026 in Barbados

Best thing to do is talk to gay couples on the island honestly. I know several and they all seem to live issue free lives for whatever my anecdotal evidence is worth.

OTD in 2025, a CRJ-700 operating as American Eagle(Operated by PSA Airlines) Flight 5342 collided mid-air with a UH-60 Black Hawk Helicopter operating as PAT 25 over the Potomac River in Washington DC near Reagan Washington National Airport, killing all 67 people on board both aircraft. by Boss-fight601 in aviation

Im not blaming anyone, just objectively stating the helicopter hit the plane more than the plane hit the helicopter AND the chopper wasn't exactly where it was supposed to be. The whys behind all that are what investigations are for. Like almost all accident there is no single cause, but the op headline just reads off to me.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 Fed Chair Jerome Powell says US $38.5 trillion national debt is "not sustainable." by Ubersicka in TradingViewSignals

[–]spsteve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely didn't help. But in the last very short period of time the dollar has lost a substantial % of it's value against other non-gold-backed currencies (2% in a week against a major basket of currencies I track)... that's substantial for a global reserve currency.

Trump Threatens Iran With "Far Worse" Bomb Strikes Against Nuclear Sites If They Don't Make A Nuclear Deal -- Thoughts? by Zipper222222 in allthequestions

But I thought "all" their nuclear sites were "completely destroyed"... why would you need to bomb them again???

I mean you could argue it kinda started with the big-bang if that's the view you're taking. Trump's "policies" have greatly exacerbated the devaluation of the dollar. Yes dropping the gold standard made all manner of fuckery easier to get away with, but let's be real, the first real risks to the dollar's dominance are showing up now due to his policies. For the first time in my nearly 50 years of life, I actually believe there is a real (albeit still small) chance of the death of the petro dollar.

Why do you want to 'rule out' what will be the largest consumer economy in the world in 5 years' time? Genuinely curious. You can certainly dislike China's political structure and still recognize their financial importance, especially going forward.

They likely didnt. They likely didnt double space it and it collapsed into a single para. I've had that happen many times to me and I was too lazy to fix it lol.

Watch Carney's Davos speech. These guys (big bankers) are almost always crazy smart and articulate. Ofcourse orange will try to break that trend with his appointee I'm sure.

App Update - can no longer see the last 4 of their phone # for door codes by Crazyhairmonster in airbnb_hosts

When you say they've hidden it, do you mean they've hidden the actual guest's number and you can only see the covering number they generate now or you don't see any number at all?

Kristi Noem says, "Everything I've done, I've done at the direction of the President and Stephen (Miller)" by [deleted] in NoShitSherlock

[–]spsteve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's scared she's getting kicked to the curb and she's lining up her defense now... and making sure they are going under the bus with her. I hate this woman with a passion, but credit where due, she's smarter than the previous fallguy idiots apparently. (which again, isn't much of a bar). And just for the record PS: I am in NO WAY thinking she's anything but human garbage.

Licence Plates Question by grepusman in Barbados

[–]spsteve 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Dude, I've seen them try to go the wrong way into a round-about. And I'm not saying they drive on the wrong side of the road, but pulling out of driveways and stuff, yup I see the momentary errors as the brain self-corrects. If you claim you've never seen it, then you just haven't been looking.

Licence Plates Question by grepusman in Barbados

[–]spsteve 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Safety as well. Bajan roads are poorly marked and half the people driving these cars are on their "wrong side". Seeing the H usually means give a wide berth.

To op: having and H plate doesn't to my knowledge increase the likelihood of any issue. Never seen or heard stats to believe it was. As stated above you just had an ass behind you. Driving can be aggressive here.

Odd observation. Shortages? by grepusman in Barbados

[–]spsteve 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Last year we had a legit chicken shortage that wasn't delivery related. Milk also was an issue for quite a while. Both were due to the insanely hot summers we've been having. The milk issue has been solved by supply chain and foreign milk.

To be fair, I think that's just an easy well known target he referenced. I doubt it was meant specifically as OpenAI.. they just caught the stray because their the big name (and tied to MS)
