this is possibly THE MOST Australian interview ever

Lufthansa group has already mandated for powerbanks to be kept in the cabin luggage that you stow under your seat (not allowed in the luggage racks above). Also, they may not be operated: meaning they can't be used to charge your electronic devices, and you are not allowed to charge them using in-seat power. The number is limited to 2.

Power Banks on airplanes worry me the most. Never pack them in a checked bag. The cargo compartment has a fire detection system, and a gas fire suppression system (like halon, but I don’t recall if that’s it). Still, we can’t get into it in flight to fight a fire. For carry on, pack it where it’s easily accessible. The idea will be to remove it & put it in a “fire bag” which are pretty effective at containing battery fires. That’s harder to do if you’ve packed it beneath a bunch of stuff that may now also be on fire. If you drop your phone in the seat & can’t find it, do NOT move your seat. You may crunch the phone & ignite the battery. Ask a Flight Attendant for assistance. A cabin fire is at the top of most of our worst nightmares. The Oxygen masks won’t drop – they don’t seal, so it won’t keep smoke out & now we’re feeding pure oxygen to a fire. We’ll be diverting immediately, but it will take time to get on the ground. If the smoke gets too bad, we can “dump” the cabin pressure if needed & clear it out pretty quickly, but that’s a last resort & wont work well below 10,000’ or so. I’ve been told China is starting to ban power banks on airplanes. We may eventually get to that point here. If you have to bring one, make sure it’s in good condition. If you have one of those suitcases with a built in battery, just be aware you’ll have to remove it before checking your bag. If it’s carry on, make sure you can get it out of the bag quickly if needed. Thank you & fly safe!

@thebrainmaze Probably the worst representation of all those I saw so far. For those who didn't have a clear understanding, well, you made it worse.

Artemis Mission Route in 3D - This animation visualizes the Artemis mission trajectory in a dynamic 3D perspective, showing how the spacecraft travels through the Earth–Moon system while all celestial bodies are in motion. Instead of a static path, the Sun, Earth, and Moon move simultaneously, revealing the true complexity of orbital mechanics. The result highlights how the Artemis route is not a simple curve, but a constantly shifting trajectory shaped by gravity and motion. This view provides a clearer understanding of how modern space missions navigate through space in real time. Right now, Artemis is on its return path to Earth and is expected to arrive back soon as it completes its mission. The sizes and distances of the Sun, Earth, and Moon are not to scale and are adjusted for visual purposes.

Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back. Here’s a taste of what the Artemis II astronauts photographed during their flight around the Moon. Check out more photos from the mission: nasa.gov/artemis-ii-mul…

@mamboitaliano__ What's up with the masked people in the back?? Help 😂

So, Festive Easter 2026 ends like this The whole internet literally losing it over this hottie in a Spanish procession Amen 😅🇪🇸

@SmartScience You mean plastics like these? 😉

A single scratch on your nonstick pan releases millions of toxic chemicals into your dinner. Researchers in Australia have uncovered a startling health hazard hiding in plain sight in kitchens across the globe. Using advanced imaging technology, scientists found that even a minor scratch on a Teflon-coated pan can release upwards of 9,000 plastic particles and millions of microplastics during cooking. These "forever chemicals," known as PFAS, are engineered to resist heat and stains but are notoriously difficult for the human body to break down. Linked to severe health issues including cancer, infertility, and developmental disorders, these toxins have already been detected in the bloodstreams of 99% of Americans, highlighting a pervasive environmental crisis. Despite the known risks, federal regulations remain limited, leaving consumers to navigate a marketplace filled with PFAS-laden products ranging from cookware to bedding. Experts suggest that the safest path forward is a return to traditional materials like stainless steel or seasoned cast iron, which do not shed toxic particles under heat. As some states move toward banning these chemicals in consumer goods, the responsibility of minimizing exposure often falls on the individual. Making the switch now could prevent years of chemical accumulation in the body, offering a simple yet effective way to protect long-term family health. source: Luo, Y., Gibson, C.

@gotrice2024 User problem. For this you hire someone. To each their own job.

This family just got an IKEA kitchen delivered to their new home. It’s 210 packages, and many people say the instructions are almost nonexistent, it’s just diagrams. He’s going to have to unbox every part and arrange it in a way that can be identified so that will help with the frustration, many people who bought this quit out of frustration and tried to return it. Whenever people order kitchen sets like this, should it at least come with better instructions or at least a video, have you ever tried to put something together and the instructions weren’t clear and you ended up messing it up?

@ManaByte It won't change anything to them. They are already denying Artemis II as well 😂

NASA says some of the Apollo landing sites will be visible at the very beginning of the Artemis II lunar flyby on Monday. They’ll say exactly what ones in the daily briefing tomorrow. That means moon landing deniers are going to have real bad day on Monday.

@heynavtoor @ChriHub Only works for personal notifications, as bulk will get you flagged by any carrier. And for personal notifications, nowadays hardly anyone needs SMS. So yes, nice concept, but I don't see a use for it.

@Blickch Wegen solchen Leuten kommt unser Land nicht vorwärts. "Ältere Menschen" ist eine Ausrede. Alt heisst nicht dumm. Es hatte nun jeder genug Zeit, sich anzupassen. Wer nicht will, soll halt zu Fuss gehen.

Berta Caminada (77) aus Bonaduz gibt nicht auf: Trotz Niederlage fordert sie Bargeld in Bündner Postautos zurück. Mit einer Petition will sie ältere Menschen und Nicht-Digital-Nutzer stärken – notfalls auch per Volksinitiative. Viele in der Community... brnw.ch/21x1eJh

@RapidReport2025 Honestly the screaming people are worse than the engine issue.

WATCH: Panic breaks out onboard Delta Air Lines Airbus to Atlanta after engine failure with visible fire forces return to São Paulo

@JesseBWatters Honestly, good for them. Life is much easier that way.

Spring Break goes WILD☀️ 🍺🤪 and the students have NO IDEA what’s going on🤣 “The BIGGEST issue in America is what BIKINI I’m wearing tomorrow”👙 “We’re going to war with IRAQ that’s been crazy”🤔 “I’ve NEVER heard the word Ayatollah in my life”🫢 “Is Venezuela in SPAIN?”😬😬😬

#WWDC26 June 8-12 Save the date!

The famous Italian restaurant “Napoli 1820,” with locations in Naples and Milan, just dropped a hilarious staged video showing the fate of anyone who dares put mayonnaise on their pizza 🤣🤌🍕

@samhenrigold This was me as a kid. Such a well written article, it made me nostalgic.

The MacBook Neo is such an interesting machine that it coaxed a thousand-word-essay out of me

@Joem1899 @alex_baur Ohh, das ist ja jemand etwas ganz wichtigem auf der Spur 🤡😂

@alex_baur Hatte diese Diskussion mit Freunden am Wochenende, obwohl wir uns politisch ziemlich weit unterscheiden, herrschte Einigkeit dabei das es bei den Abstimmungen schon seit einiger Zeit nicht mehr sauber läuft.

Die 62-Prozent-Schweiz: Die Abstimmung über die SRG-Vorlage spiegelt ein Kräfteverhältnis wider, welches fast punktgenau jenem der drei Covid-Vorlagen entspricht. Das ist kein Zufall weltwoche.ch/daily/die-62-p…

Second one would have had me mad too

The GREATEST and most LEGENDARY bluff in the history of TV.
