I live in Ireland. 10+ years ago I used to the travel to the US quite a bit (5-10 trips a year). The majority of the time I would fly via a major EU hub like AMS or CDG even if the…

Having chatted with friends who have gotten stuck in elevators, you definitely should care about total travel time. In one case, the building was still being commissioned and it to…

Maybe they were embracing YOLO - who knows the possibilities of putting your trust in others' decisions / destinations. Or should it be YORO? You only ride once?

The VW eUp! has a similar naming consistency issue. Is it an electric VW Up? VW eUP!? VW e•Up!? VW e-Up!? Who knows...

I've just had to ditch Edge on Win11 in favour of Firefox because of persistent "app is not responding" issues. Don't know what's going on under the hood but I've wasted enough tim…

There are players in the OpenStreetMap ecosystem attempting to change that. I know the team behind Organic Maps are actively working to make their app as viable as possible by sour…

That works when the system is setup to allow that. I've encountered banks that don't have that setup — hilariously one bank felt the need to cold call me about my complaint about c…

200 people can't board at the same second. Reality is you want orderly boarding over the course of ~ 10-15mins depending on passenger makeup. Crew also need to account for passenge…

The equivalent for Europe is probably https://www.public.nm.eurocontrol.int/PUBPORTAL/gateway/spec... (at least what I use when there is major disruption).

Lloyds who are one of the biggest players have indicated cover is available. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2026/mar/20/risk-london...

Iran has indicated they will only target ships tied to countries that are involved in the conflict. That likely means US and Israel. Unclear if countries like the UK that are facil…

There was a major storm that disrupted infrastructure across the west coast of Ireland last year. Turned out a lot of infrastructure couldn't survive multi-day grid power loss (wat…
