- Comment on Are airports difficult to navigate? (first time flyer)? 6 hours ago:
I’ve been to MUC a lot. It’s big, but fairly easy to navigate. You’ll be fine. I don’t remember the terminal names, but you’ll probably be arriving and departing at different terminals.
Also, looking up airport maps in advance is always helpful: www.munich-airport.com/airport-map-261352
- Comment on Are airports difficult to navigate? (first time flyer)? 6 hours ago:
Not really some can be pretty big, but it’s usually pretty clearly marked, and and there’s lots of ads of staff around that help with our if needed.
Some things to be aware of: in large international airports some times you need to move between terminals. And this CAN make it seem like you are leaving the airport. Trust the signage.

Which airports are you flying via?
- Comment on This fell off my car, can I just rip it off and not care? 2 days ago:
Yeah, it’s fine. If that is the part I think it is, it’s a cover for the bottom of your engine - not strictly needed (my previous car didn’t even have one when new).
It somewhat protects your cars nether regions from the m minor damage from rocks and similar, but for the average driver it doesn’t do much - Most debris that would damage your engine would also easily pierce through the cover.
There is an aerodynamic component at play here, but it’s not critical. It might also shield your cars innards and prevent turbulent airflow the reduce noise, but again; not critical
- Comment on Do people confuse your nationality? 2 days ago:
Yup, I’ve worked enough with Texans (and still do) to know that. Some are Texicans, some are Texericans, but first and foremost, they’re all Texans.
- Comment on Do people confuse your nationality? 3 days ago:
All the things me. I work with n an international environment, so my accent is a bit hard to nail down.
Especially in 2010 when my main coworkers were British, Canadian, and Texan. The Texans thought I was Canadian, the Canadians thought I was British, and the brit thought I was Texan.
Nobody suspected that I was Norwegian unless I told them. It probably didn’t help that the home airport as published on the crew lists was first Dublin, then Brno via Prague.
- Comment on Am I weird for avoiding flying on prop planes, and only fly on jets? 3 days ago:
Not necessarily. Depends a lot of the reason behind your choice. Propeller aircraft aie usually slower and more noisy, so if those are your reasons, then that’s fair enough.
They are, however, generally also smaller and turboprops are great for short flights, so they have their niches.
I fly both relatively often. My local airport is serviced exclusively by DH Dash-8, so I take those flights to get to the much larger regional airport around an hours hop away.

Was that two years already? I thought that was last year. Tme flies when you’re having fun, I guess.
- Comment on Will using an additional trolling motor significantly speed me up? 4 days ago:
I remember asking a friend of mine a similar question years ago. His answer was that the propeller of the weaker motor will slow down the boat unless you apply some extremely high blade pitch.
- Comment on Is their any evolutionary benefit to the sneezing reflex when looking at a bright light source, or is it just an evolutionary glitch with no purpose? 5 days ago:
I have no research to back this up, but I think it’s just a glitch that doesn’t inhibit passing on one’s genes, so the trait got to stay around. Not everyone has it.
But if I were to hypothesize an evolutionary benefit, maybe it is a good thing to sneeze out all the fungal spores from your cave once you emerge. But then again, if it was important, shouldn’t this also induce coughing?
- Comment on Java at 30: How a language designed for a failed gadget became a global powerhouse 5 days ago:
I liked Java a lot more before Oracle acquired Sun. I’ve used Oracle databases enough to not trust Oracle.

The entire country of Canada approves. Whether it’ll work is unknown.
- Comment on what’s the difference between “he died” and “he’s dead”? 1 week ago:
Yes, I think.
Although, if I shoot you, and you’re clinically dead, but the EMTs arrive just in time with those Shocker Pads of Cure Serious Wounds and patch you up with 3d8 hp… Did I kill you?
- Comment on what’s the difference between “he died” and “he’s dead”? 1 week ago:
“He’s dead, presumably because he died”

You’re wrong. It’s an established fact that the 90s were ten years ago.
- Comment on Which of the Half-Life Expansions are your favorite? 2 weeks ago:
I played Opposing Force back in the day, and I absolute loved it. By far my favorite. Blue shift was fun, but not even close.
- Comment on Has the use of a comma instead of the word "and" in English news headlines always been a thing? 2 weeks ago:
It tends to remove ambiguity
- Comment on Has the use of a comma instead of the word "and" in English news headlines always been a thing? 2 weeks ago:
Don’t know, I’m just here to state my absolute hate for the practice. Sure you don’t write " A and B and C and D", but “A, B, C, and D”. But " A, B" is absolutely awful.
- Comment on The world was a nicer place before the advent of leaf blowers 2 weeks ago:
As a scandinavian I never got what the deal is. Just let it decompose? Or use a rake, it’s not that hard.
Then I visited Texas, and leafblowers were everywhere to the point where I had to ask a coworker “why do you guys hate leaves so much?”
- Comment on What are the minimum or recommended requirements for a personal home server? 2 weeks ago:
Anything that does the job is good enough. At its core a server is just a regular PC with a dedicated purpose. Sure, there are specialized hardware better suitable and purpose built, but it’s not a requirement.

Whataboutism
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
No, but it takes some practice doing it seem effortless. With a lesson you’ll learn the basics, and the rest is just practice over a day or two.
If you’re driving automatic correctly, your left foot should be available, and the only thing different with your feet is that your left foot now needs to handle the clutch. This means during (some of the) braking or other times when you want to disengage the drivetrain.
After a little while you get a feel for listening to the RPM, and you begin to shift gear automatically based on the engine sound, or any planned changes in speed/torque.
Oh, and it’s worth noting that most cars are somewhat different when it comes to clutching: Some have the car equivalent of a hair trigger, others are much more lenient. If you’ve gotten used to one car, trying out a different one might be useful.
