    Scams like these

    TikTok is a rogue version of TikTok that only plays ads all the time!

    Airfares to US to drop?

    *Google* *Google* Apparently about 7% of their product lines are made in the USA, so you could be in luck! Most is brought in from CCP Land though, so you'd want to wait until things settle down to avoid stock-level problems IMHO.

    Lufthansa strikes again!!

    If I were the airline I’d have done the same … and if I were the passenger I’d also like to think I’d have done the same, that’s revolting.

    Airfares to US to drop?

    Yes, I reckon you’re spot-on. But I also suspect that after a few months s lot of people might get over being outraged with the entirety of the US just ‘cos 25% of them voted in a would-be dictator, and I also suspect that because reporting the same thing repeatedly doesn’t attract clicks the...

    Article: The Most Profitable Seats on the Plane Are Not What You Think

    PE was different when first introduced … I recall my parents going to the UK on BA not super long after they introduced the product, it was around $2200 return when Y was about $2k return. And for the extra $200, your knees weren’t wedged up against the seat in front, you could sit comfortably...

    Kangarooflyer88 Election Concession Speech

    It was rigged, and I have proof - I voted for you just over 20 million times, meaning that there’s no way (given the voting-age population of Australia) you couldn’t have rightfully and righteously won!!

    Worse than feet on bulkheads

    Shoes off is that … shoes on is, IMHO, people ‘round here pretending to be outraged. Not putting your shoes on someone’s wall is still pretty much the norm, I guess, even for Millennials & Gen Y? Now I think of it, the vast majority of the population wouldn’t know what a QF PEY arrangement...

    Worse than feet on bulkheads

    While I really, truly have a solid sense of not caring … to me, it’s different if there’s a piece of thing which says “put your feets here” as opposed to there being a wall which convention says you shouldn’t put your feets on.

    Worse than feet on bulkheads

    It’s not revolting like the people with their shoes & socks off … but it is a bit rude, albeit towards a public transport provider so we don’t care much. I mean if someone came to your house & put their shoes on your wall like that, you’d be pretty annoyed … but because it’s just a bus with...

    How would customs know someone has TRS-claimed good(s) on them?

    I don’t think Tandy even exists any more!

    How do you know if Qantas domestic will allow rear door offboarding?

    I very confidently stated this about BNE about 5yrs ago, based on circa-2010 experiences with QF (when they NEVER used the rear stairs regardless of weather - which had me flying VA where the 2nd-last row was always available when I was booking flights a few days before travel), so of course...

    Luxury Hotel Bed Sheets

    Probably an over-simplification more than a myth … ‘tis why rather than typing lots more words I thought I’d better attach a linky, which I think is useful alongside your linky to find a nice set of sheets. :)

    Charging Devices in Flight without the use of Batteries

    @markis10 what plugs do they use for those 110/200 3-phase outlets on aircraft? Ever since I started carrying around devices that go through a reasonable amount of juice (you could last for weeks on a set of AA’s for your Walkman!) I’ve wondered about those standard Australian wall plugs you...

    Luxury Hotel Bed Sheets

    Look at thread count in your sheets, the higher the better, I believe they cheat these days but you want a “real” count of over 1000. Sheet Thread Count Explained: What is thread count and why does it matter? Probably needs at least a dozen iterations of washing & “soaking in human oils” (ew!)...

    Charging Devices in Flight without the use of Batteries

    Some chargers are very cheaply made & don’t control the DC output voltage very well. The transformer in the cheapest chargers works by having a certain number of coils on the input side & a certain number on the output side, reducing the AC voltage by a fixed ratio, and then simple electronics...

    Charging Devices in Flight without the use of Batteries

    It would depend on fitout I imagine … some USB ports can charge just as quickly as the wall-wart can, but others can only provide relatively low current so won’t charge that fast (my work Windoze laptop has two USB-C ports, the one that’ll charge my iPad at full wall-wort rate has a little...
