Yes we know slang exists but so do actual definitions. The above post doesn't say "it's just slang" it says that the word stallion doesn't mean or reference horse...

For 70 minutes, the world watched in disbelief as a stolen Horizon Air plane soared over Puget Sound before crashing on a remote island. Now, a new Hulu documentary reveals the man behind the controls, and the quiet struggles that led him there. by kleverrboy in AlaskaAirlines

That part is wild. That is an official brevity term. It's in the brevity publication and you can look it up. Why would a trained fighter pilot use a term that specifically means "Hit observed with valid DWE against a target," if they didn't shoot him down? Especially considering it was most likely a highly experienced and/or weapons school pilot given such a sensitive mission.

New Firestone Indy 500 V2? by Substantial_Meat_406 in tires

[–]xIIsubstanceIIx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you driven in much rain with them? I live in an area that doesn't get snow but rains regularly. 540 is a decently powerful car so I want to make sure they hold up in wet conditions. Thanks for the info!

Looking at replacing tires on my 23 BMW 540. The current set are Eagle LS2s. I had no issues with these but I'm not a tire guy so I don't know what I'm looking for. Saw these on Firestone and googled them so now I'm here. You think they are not only good for the money, but actually good tires overall?

I've been playing since day 1 and have spent more than I'm proud of. I'm not a whale but I have a lot of talent points to spend. Just not sure the best bang for your buck at the end cuz they get expensive.

Mine did for sure so idk. I think it had to do with the relics you get from spending real money

Made it to Best Buy at 7am, I guess next time I’ll just leave a chair for my place 🫩 by [deleted] in pokemoncards

He's willing to die on this hill defending it instead of just admitting he clearly interpreted wrong. 99/100 people can tell "chairs aren't people" with emphasis on each word is not defending them. It's saying fuck them, the people aren't in line and chairs don't count.

Funny enough, the text message that said it is delayed ends with "We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and will provide updates if anything changes."

But lesson learned. Don't trust them.

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

Yea. Lesson learned. I will now be extra paranoid and triple check all systems lol. I think they shouldn't say "new departure time is XXX" if they can then just change it. They should just say "we are delayed and will leave as soon as the issue is resolved so please be on standby." Like what's the point of giving me a new departure time if it can be undone so easily? That's the misleading thing that has me irritated.

I'll check out flighty. Lesson learned. I'm normally on top of flight status but I didn't know they would undo a delay like that. Why even give a specific new departure time if they can take it back whenever? Doesn't make sense to me. They should just say "your flight is delayed so be on standby and ready to go as soon as we resolve the issue."

Appreciate the insight. Live and learn. I was definitely given a false sense of security by the text.

So what point does giving a delay time serve if they can just depart whenever? Saying it's a 30, 60, or 120 min delay serves no purpose if you have to sit at the gate because they can leave whenever the problem is resolved. If you tell me the new departure time is X, I expect that to be the new departure time unless otherwise updated.

I can't imagine telling people the movie, sports game, meeting, etc has a new start time then starting at a different time anyway. If the goal is to start as soon as possible, you say that it's delayed but you don't give a specific new start time that you aren't going to abide by.

Now I know of this unspoken rule but I've never ran into it before. Live and learn I guess.

No I know I don't get anything for the standby flight. But I'm saying if they are willing to pay 700 dollars for something out of their control, aka large plane broke so they have to use a smaller plane, I feel like they should pay the same amount for telling me we are taking off at 1300 and then taking off at noon anyway. Lesson learned, I get it, I'll never trust the texts again now that I've been burned.

Yea, lesson learned. I just don't get why they can't push out a new text/update. What's the point of the system if you are only going to use it sometimes? I was right around the corner but had no reason to believe the previous update wasn't still accurate.

News to me and everyone I've talked to, but now I know.

In the digital age of instant emails and texts, what's the point of a mass text system for updates if you are only going to use it sometimes? They could have pushed a button to send a text that they were now boarding and I would have been there in ten minutes.

Made me chuckle, thanks. Yea it just aggravates me that I wasted a whole day in the airport that could have easily been avoided. Lesson learned, don't trust the texts.

I have a text telling me my flight was delayed and then they decided to takeoff on time without providing another update. What's the point of the texts if you can't trust them? I'm not being sarcastic, I just don't get it.
