#32Earlier quoted context omitted.
I hate those windows, when fully dimmed they let through a lot of blue light, and blue light is bad for sleep. On the other hand though I detest window seat passengers who insist on having the windows closed for take-off and landing. I'd like to know when to expect a thud, thanks. The electric shades are nice in that aspect because they are never fully opaque.
Don’t you have to have the blinds up for take off and landing? You definitely do in Europe.
I don't know, it would make sense for the US FAA to require that but I don't have the authority to ask that of the window seat passenger, and most flight attendants don't care.
They're more concerned that my seat back is not pushed back by the 3mm that they move.

#33Is it much more complicated than to prefer the predominantly northwest side in the morning and northeast side in the afternoon (for northern hemisphere)?
Do you live in a city with a grid based road system? In a country with more organic road networks, that wouldn't work

#34Love that this is a web page and not another app taking up space on my phone.

#36That would have seem to be something trivial to think about for anyone with a modicum of sense of orientation. I guess most people don't have that.
Not all routes are a straight line. The time of day also matters…

#37Shady side is comfy but remember that 120 min of daily indirect or direct exposure to UVB can protect your eyesight health.
Just 120 min a day under a tree during childhood.

#38I recently took a bus over the Andes and was congratulating myself on choosing a seat on the shady side. Then I realized that in the southern hemisphere the sun is in the north and I had outsmarted myself.
When I travelled to Brazil, I was confused as the North Star (Polaris) had disappeared.

Does the glass block lots of UV?

A glance at the driving route on Google Maps should show you the typical vehicle orientation.
