COTD!

All hail Kinja!

I played the crap out of Terror from the Deep! Those enormous maps were awesome to younger me, but I don’t know if I’d have the patience nowadays to find that last stupid enemy lurking in a forgotten corner. :)

This came out in March on XBox One and Windows. An amazing sequel to an amazing game.

I gave up on Nespresso some years ago, and at least at the time there was no recycling.

I’m not sure you’d get “infinitely better” espresso but I do agree on the price issue.

Indeed. More pricey to purchase but will save you lots of money and hassle in the long run.

After owning one for many years, I’m never giving up on a fully automatic coffee machine. They are rather pricey to purchase new, but worth it in the long run given the relatively low price per shot. I did the maths some time ago, and even with relatively pricey coffee beans it is less than half per shot compared to a…

Hah. Except we don’t actually use ü. That’s the Germans. Or ë. That’s the French.

“Gemera” is punny in Swedish. “Ge mera” means “give more”, which I suppose is related to the extra two seats compared to other Koenigseggs.

There is even a specific homage to The Great Dictator in the film. When Waititi/Hitler kicks the chair as he walks out of the kitchen in a huff, he uses the same movement as when Chaplin/Hitler kicks the globe up in the air during the dance scene.

It’s a pretty global phenomenon. In HK, masks have been hard to find for weeks, with long lines at shops where supplies are expected, and jacked prices.

Sorry I was unclear. I didn’t mean gate agents and cabin crew can’t upgrade you. I just meant they can’t do it on their own initiative, so to speak. They have to do it in accordance with company policy.

This is really a North American thing. In most of the world, upgrades for high-tier loyalty members only happen if the lower class is oversold and seats need to be freed up.

BTW North American “first class” is known in the rest of the world as “regional business” or something similar. First class products for airlines…

The days of FAs and gate attendants giving upgrades “as a courtesy” are long gone. Because of past abuse, it is a serious rule breach at my airline. There are strict rules for who, when and how upgrades are given. Many booking systems do it automatically.

Airlines already do this. Most airlines will upgrade higher-tier loyalty members in order of loyalty rank, but only if the lower class is oversold and they have to free up seats there. Some carriers, mainly in North America, will upgrade higher-tier members even if the lower class is not oversold.

Caught the name Sonya Belousova in the credits.

Looks very nice.
