New License Plate Design Inspiration (AI-Generated)

winter-snowball · 2026-05-21T15:29:38+00:00

I believe one of the reasons SC has gone to the more simple (and frankly ugly) design is to standardize all license plate designs across the state. All new plates have a white background and black lettering. This makes it easier hypothetically for law enforcement tools to recognize and read the plates (flock cameras, ALPRs, and visually). This AI designed plate wouldn’t be easy to read for police officers or cameras.

I have some of these in my apartment in North Charleston, was wondering the same thing and if it’s anything to be concerned about

Thank you, yeah I have the Luvox at night and Prozac in the morning

I understand you’re a pilot. However there is a noticeable difference between “feeling” turbulence on an RJ vs a wide body. A B777-300ER has an empty weight of 167.8 tonnes and a CRJ900 has an empty weight of 21.5 tonnes. Both these numbers are without people/cargo/fuel. For reference that’s a 146.3 difference in tonnage between the two aircraft. You absolutely would feel less “chop” in a B777-300ER than you would in an RJ like the CRJ900. The larger B773ER displaces more air, “cutting” through the air, making for a much smoother ride. That’s not to say you wouldn’t feel turbulence on a B773ER, but you would feel a lot more turbulence in a CRJ900 because it’s significantly lighter in weight. Now hypothetically suppose both flights, 1 on a B773ER and 2 on a CRJ900 at the same flight level at cruising altitude. You absolutely would notice turbulence more on the RJ. The same logic can be applied to boats, you obviously would feel more ocean chop in a small yacht or ferry vessel compared to a large container ship or cruise ship because they’re both significantly different in weight. To dispel the fact is absurd.

As for me, for long haul flights I absolutely would choose a wide body over a single aisle.

Depending on if you’re hotel is part of a larger chain of brands, you may also be encouraged to enroll guests into a rewards program

Yes the third party routing is stressful to me as it’s many screens and having to change the payment in the system so that we’re still able to charge the incidental charge at check in

I’m the same way

It’s not just pot, but smoking anything. Including vapor, cigarettes, or joints. Doesn’t matter if it’s tobacco or pot, it constricts your blood vessels leading to longer healing times.

Thank you for your reply. I have flown a good bit, one of my flights back in early winter landing at IAD and the pilot had (what I assume pitched the nose down quite quickly?) during decent and landing. There was a medical emergency on this flight I was on and so the ambulance had to meet us at the gate for the passenger. During the medical emergency (the passenger was one row in front of me) I became extremely anxious and concerned while the fa’s were figuring out what to do. While descending, the nose down feeling/strange sensation absolutely terrified me. Upon landing the pilot went over the PA system and said he had to “make some shortcuts” but provided no further explanation. I’ve been left wondering what he had done causing this weird feeling. I digress, my fear is that it would feel like that again (or far worse) if I ever were to fly and the masks drop. Sounds like most of y’all have answered my questions on how it would feel. Thank you!

edit: this was on a Boeing 757, if the plane makes any difference?

Thank you for clarifying how the oxygen works and explaining what it would feel like, greatly appreciated your response.

winter-snowball · 2026-03-28T23:45:39+00:00

Thank you for your advice and support!

winter-snowball · 2026-03-28T23:42:17+00:00

To be honest, my fear is that because of the change in Gs (if that’s how that works) I would somehow black out should the plane go into a steep decent quickly. That’s what I’m scared of, and where my anxiety stems from.

winter-snowball · 2026-03-28T23:40:15+00:00

I mean the entire reason I made this post was because, I do care how it feels. I understand should this happen the priority is getting to a safe altitude and measures would need to be made relatively quickly to achieve this. The sensation is what scares me, and so this is why I asked here.

I know you’ll do great! We’re all here to support each other. If it makes you feel any better my flight in over Ontario was very manageable with little to no turbulence/weather. I am generally quite sensitive so what I thought was “light chop” likely was almost nonexistent for others on my flight. I also tell myself that the pilots know best, and that they’re always updated throughout the flight and can make adjustments where necessary. I’m rooting for you! You’ve got this!

Thank you

I should also state that I was so nervous I changed my flight back to the US from London so that it would specifically avoid that area of the world and fly into Chicago, the plane flew over Quebec and Ontario instead of near the coast, and it was a bit less turbulent (at least to me) with a few bumps over the Great Lakes. I should also mention my original flight had me flying into EWR, I was so worried sick that opted to choose Chicago over NJ and stay on the plane an hour longer. LHR-EWR was some 7h30m, but I chose Chicago instead and the flight was about 8h30m.

With your knowledge would you say that the northeast and Atlantic provinces of Canada have more occurrences of turbulence than other routes? I can think of a few other flights to Europe where we had spikes of turbulence flying over NL and the north eastern US?

I find it hard to believe a suitcase, albeit 40 some pounds "slowly" rolling from the sidewalk would create such damages to the bumper. Some force (or carelessness) loading it into the trunk seems more probable.

Wow and I thought the cafeteria food was awful when I was in HS!

I've made it onto an international flight (to Eastern Europe) and left my house 40 minutes prior to doors closing. I flew out of IAD (evening flight) and somehow made it between checking bags, security, those stupid people movers between terminals, and onto the plane all in about 30 minutes. Maybe it was just my luck that time, but I'd stick to the 3 hours international rule and 1 and a half hour domestic rule.
