@Giles a direct fart to face lane for the person behind me would have been welcome last night

@Giles

Oh yeah, I’m sure that’s how it happened…

[mclaincausey]

@Giles I was prepared to feel bad for the victim until I saw the term “influencer” attached to them.

[Giles]

Flatulencer......

[mclaincausey]

@Giles now that’s a role that would get my respect. I suppose they’d seek out sponsorships from Bush’s baked beans, cabbage farms, breweries, and the like.

@mclaincausey Kimchi for some extra spice

The last time I flew was in 2021. Just before the war. I would happily fly now, with or without farting.

Always best to adjust your cabin pressure as required on the flight.

Ever notice how the bag of nuts, chips, pretzels or whatever gets bloated up in the air?????

[Oaktavia]

@ROman i was told the bags were half or more than halfway filled with air to help keep the chips from crumbling. Not sure if that is big snack propaganda though

[mclaincausey]

I think an airplane cabin is pressurized at the equivalent of a mile or so above sea level. In Denver we see the same inflation of CPG bags or foil tops on tubes if they were packaged at lower altitudes.

@mclaincausey There's an alpine town about 3 hours from San Diego that's about a mile high, and we always notice the same phenomenon with bags of chips when we go.

Hi guys! I would like to discuss this topic with you. The sound of Russian and other languages. How my language sounds to a foreign ear. I heard an opinion that the Russian language sounds like the creaking of an unlubricated cart with a pile of chaotic sounds. I got interested. Portuguese and Scandinavian languages ​​sound similar to me. What do you think?

[neph93]

I’ve always found Russian to be quite beautiful to listen too. The way of mixing consonants and vowels can be harsh, but is often quite enchanting too.

[flannel slut]

@Walery-Smirnoff definitely fun listening for languages based on the noises a person makes when paused between sentences (I’d say for English, it’s “ummm”). Funny you mention Portuguese; my Dad grew up on the island of San Miguel or the Azores of Portugal and a third of my family still lives there. As a kid, I used to tease them regularly on these sounds; “oooushh or ehhshh”

[Twistlock]

@flannel-slut , we love the Azores. Plan to go again next year.

[flannel slut]

@Twistlock we are on the same page this morning!

[Tago Mago]

@flannel-slut „Cookie Monster“ in Portuguese apparently only consists of these sounds

[flannel slut]

@Tago-Mago amazing. Calling my uncle asap with this

[Twistlock]

@flannel-slut ,yep. This afternoon for me though
