@Fahadnaimb I feel like the craziest thing to me is that they mark all of their food carts with post it notes to know what’s inside 😂

More images from Cathay Pacific flight CX156 (Airbus A350-900, registration B-LRV) from Brisbane (BNE) to Hong Kong (HKG)

Cathay Pacific flight CX156 (Airbus A350-900, registration B-LRV) from Brisbane (BNE) to Hong Kong (HKG) that got absolutely wrecked by turbulence yesterday.... 10 people hurt (6 crew, 4 pax), 8 in hospital. It hit right as they were serving meals. Clear air turbulence is sneaky AF because no warning on radar. Stay safe up there, always keep your belt on

@bowtiedbrazil @paul_k_0907 Clearly you haven’t met a rich person who still operates with a cheap mindset
English
@when_rekt @paul_k_0907 I have never met someone in my life who thinks sleeping on a lay down bed for 8 or more hours is remotely the same feeling as sitting in an economy seat for 8 or more hours. If you feel the same props to you, you’re 1 out of 1000
English
I primarily take long haul flights and don’t know one rich person who doesn’t try to get biz class
For short domestic flights it’s pretty irrelevant either way
StripMallGuy@realEstateTrent
Some of the richest folks on the flight happily walk by your business class seat on their way to 21A.

@bowtiedbrazil @paul_k_0907 (Also depends on the airline, I was flying Hawaiian who actually has really good seat pitch in economy on their long haul aircraft)
English
@bowtiedbrazil @paul_k_0907 Did I say that it was? Sleeping on planes is usually poor sleep quality, and unless you’re getting on and immediately knocking out (which I don’t do), you’re probably getting 5 hours of sleep max on an 8-hour flight..
I’d rather add an extra day of vacation to recover instead.

@LoewyLawFirm @claud334 @McRahm @YIMBYLAND Brb, grabbing 🍿 to watch people try and argue with an attorney on the internet….
I notice @cedarbuild never replied with the price, and we all know it’s not going to be 1/3rd of the cost of a SFH
Also are they all going to be under one listing, or three separate ones??

You will note they don’t mention how expensive these houses will be for “folks who normally couldn’t afford to live in Brentwood”
Wonder why.
Or are they gonna be rentals?
Cedar@cedarbuild
Sneak peek at one of our upcoming projects in Austin, made possible by Austin's HOME initiative. 3 homes where there was once 1, each sized for younger families and folks who normally couldn't afford to live in Brentwood. And maybe most importantly... beautifully designed courtyards that bend around a few trees that have been there for over a hundred years.

@paul_k_0907 @bowtiedbrazil Spent $1500 on an upgrade bid from SYD-HNL once.. Once I got off the plane I said “meh, wasn’t worth the $150/hr to still feel exhausted on arrival”
English
@when_rekt @bowtiedbrazil I have no problem spending money - just hate wasting money.
English
@paul_k_0907 @bowtiedbrazil I was going to give you shit about this but a) can empathize with recognizing for the duration, the money isn’t worth it and b) you nailed the 2026 AI investment thesis “mostly” so you’ve got my respect, man 🫡🫡
English
@bowtiedbrazil I’m rich and am going to suffer in economy on my 15 hour flight to Japan.
Me and two kids was $300 with points and would’ve been $30K in business.
Not worth it - will just spend the money on the trip..

@Wildlaw406 I was about to go look it up myself but didn’t want to put in the effort to sleuth through all the dockets accessible without a subscription lol

@when_rekt He didn’t want the local news story naming and shaming him.

Final update: I agreed to withdraw my motion for sanctions if he withdrew his motion and paid my fees.
We negotiated the fees to $11k, he wired the money within an hour, withdrew his motion shortly after, and thanked me profusely in four separate emails for being reasonable.
〽️ountain Lawyer@Wildlaw406
Update: a week after filing a response to the AI-generated motion and a separate motion for sanctions, opposing counsel filed a notice saying I never responded and therefore he wins. I checked, and both my response to his motion and my motion for sanctions show in the docket.
English
@lmcgaughy Not the same as the whole paper, but check your closest Westin for a print out and curated highlights…. Just came back from Hawaii and this was my daily pulse check (while the rest of me touched grass)
English
Update: No place has it. Called several H-E-Bs, Whole Foods, bookstores and a few gas stations.
Most stopped carrying it all together or don’t get certain days because of the distributor.
Drove to a Barnes & Noble 30 min away because they said they had a couple. Nope. They were Friday copies!
Lauren McGaughy@lmcgaughy
Hey Austin! I’ve been looking all morning and can’t find a place that sells copies of the Saturday New York Times. Does anyone have any clue? Book People and Barnes & Noble don’t have it.

@CurlyBill15 @InfantryPilot I know this feeling all too well, I watched a A330 to Honolulu leave just as my wife informed me that all that were left on our flight to KOA were middle seats while we were traveling with our six month infant….
English
Not long after I was hired (and still on probation), my wife and I were non-reving PDX to MSP. We had seats on the nonstop 757, but wife asked me if we could go up to SEA out of PDX and fly the 747 to MSP and try to get 1st class. I checked the loads the night before and everything looked fine, so I begrudgingly agreed. I had no plausible grounds for saying no.
So we get to the gate and watched the nonstop 757 to MSP push with lots of open seats (I had a bad feeling about this) and got to SEA just fine, only to discover at SEA, the NRT 747 had cancelled and so had our 747 to MSP. I knew it would happen, but I kept my mouth shut, mostly. Finally, we caught a full DC-10 to ORD jammed into coach and something to MSP, getting in at 1130 that night.
In 31 years at NWA and Delta, my wife (or I) never got into 1st class non-rev on a 747.
We also never let a ride with an open seat leave without us either.
English
Tried to non-rev back home to Honolulu today and got crushed by IRROPS. One diversion into LAX and suddenly every seat disappeared with accommodated passengers. Tomorrow’s flights are just as full.
Had to wave the white flag and buy last-minute Delta tickets for all 3 of us just to get home in time for my KIX trip and my son’s finals this week.
$849 later… non-rev life stays undefeated 🤦🏼♂️
Well, at least we’ll be home tonight.

@jaybsauceda Back in my younger days, I would eat that exact taco from taco joint probably four times a week. College special of that, another talk of your choosing, and a coffee got me through some tough times with my first startup

I’m not much for politics but I will defend any Republican’s or Democrat’s right to place a potato, egg, and cheese tacos order.
Tacos are not political and if you think that’s not a good taco order you don’t know ball.

@data_atx The fact that Electric Jellyfish has proliferated to basically every bar/restaurant in Austin shows how good Pinthouse is at what they do…

Pinthouse pizza is expanding into cedar park 👏
It’s truly impressive what they’ve done with their business. Beer has basically been in secular decline since they first opened , but they continue to grow and put out great vibes and products

@MonsignorMrtnez @SawyerMerritt @Starlink Also are people not going to shop at Walmart because they have to go through a higher friction payment flow once? Probably not.. think of who the audience of Walmart shoppers is too lol, it skews more android users anyway I bet
English
@MonsignorMrtnez @SawyerMerritt @Starlink /1 Walmart also wanted to capture the upside for themselves and has the pockets to build their own financial product (they are backing OnePay)… they hired a bunch of the Marcus by Goldman Sachs people to build it, who all happened to work with Apple on launching the Apple Card

Delta rejected adopting SpaceX's @Starlink on its fleet because it wanted to provide internet connectivity to passengers via the Delta Sync portal, instead of the Starlink-branded portal. Delta has since chosen to partner with Amazon's LEO.
This will result in Delta falling behind many of its competitors in offering high-speed WiFi onboard, as many other carriers are already offering or installing Starlink, whereas Amazon's LEO airplane WiFi for Delta is still a couple year away (or more).
Satellites currently in orbit:
• SpaceX's Starlink: 10,400
• Amazon's LEO: 300
(Delta rejection info according to Ron Baron)
