    True Gym Stories

    I wonder how many came to this thread expecting Orrbit to detail a fun story or two about how he landed a straight guy while at the gym. I know I did. But I forgive him because that second pic made me glad I looked at the thread.

  6. Its crystal ball time. Although Thailands domestic carriers can operate from tomorrow, the restrictions including social distancing mean that capacity can only be about 50%. I havent looked at fares but the Bangkok Post reckoned these would rise by 50%. Not surprising. In the USA, the average internal flight now only has 17 passengers. What of international airlines? When will they be allowed to land at DMK and BKK? What will their fares be like? How many will want to travel? Most of the fleets of international airlines have been mothballed and many staff either laid off or taking early retirement. Will passengers from certain countries be banned for longer than others? In Asia, Vietnam and Taiwan appear to have controlled the covid19 virus far better than others. Since all air routes depend on passengers flying in both directions, will flights out of Hanoi and Taipei be safer than the return legs on the same aircraft? Aircraft orders have all but collapsed with Airbus and Boeing both in trouble. Boeing still has a huge mess on its hands with yet more recently discovered 737 Max flaws still unresolved and Boeing itself advising the flight to obtain regulatory approval has been pushed back again. Now it is likely to take place in August. Since this must be the 6th or 10th date given by the manufacturer, the chances of its being delayed again must be high. Southwest has already announced the postponement of its introduction to October 30. Thats not the manufacturers only problem though. It seems that if it cannot deliver aircraft within 12 months of the date in the contract, airlines can cancel orders at no penalty. With the planes receiving such a negative public image, Boeing had orders for 150 of the aircraft cancelled in March alone. How many more customers will cancel? And what will Boeing do if its cash cow is unable to persuade the public that it is in fact safe? Would you fly in the plane? Despite the success of its A320 Neo and A350 aircraft, Airbus is also facing blank order books and is bleeding cash. Then there is the collapse of the price of oil. Since the A320 Neo and the 737 Max were sold on the basis of there being more fuel efficient than existing models, presumably that claim is far less important than it was last year now that oil will make up a much smaller percentage of flight costs. Both aircraft were developed to make single aisle travel across longer distances possible more cheaply. Would I want to take a n 8 hour flight on a single aisle aircraft? Frankly no! Then, will the oil price reduction make 4 engine planes now more efficient? Is there a chance the Airbus A380 could be reprieved? Who would run an airline!

  11. I started watching Counterpart last weekend (originally a Starz production, now available in Amazon Prime), and hopefully will finish the second season tonight or tomorrow. If you are into sci fi thrillers you will love it. It is the typical Parallel Universe narrative with some twists. There is not an infinite number of Universes as it is traditional in this sci fi them. There is only one. In 1987 an experiment accidentally creates a copy of our world. Of course, how to tell which one is the original and which one the copy is impossible. These two world initially identical start to differ, and this disparity increases after the 90s, when one of the worlds suffers a pandemic, which the other one is suspected to be responsible for. The existence of the other reality is a secret, the general population is unaware of it. Around the administration of the passage in between both worlds, spies play a complicated and engaging espionage game. Acting is superb, and screen writing is outstanding. It is an international production, mostly shot in Berlin. One of the things I like the most is that the differences between the two worlds are only partially explained, a lot is left to your imagination and observational skills. Usually in this kind of plots there is a logical organization of the differences between realities. Not here. Part of the premise is that any random little action can trigger those differences. We cannot talk about butterfly effect because this is not a time traveling plot, but the logic is the same. You cannot track and explain the differences, beyond big events like the pandemic. I highly recommend it.

  12. I am eagerly awaiting “Hollywood”, the new Ryan Murphy show on Netflix. It starts on May 1. It seems very promising with lots of male nudity and it features David Corenswet. He’s a man on whom I have a major-crush, and I believe that @TotallyOz is not immune to his charms.

  13. Well, the president is endlessly infantile, adolescent & juvenile in word & deed, so maybe that qualifies discussion of him as included in the blanket ban on discussing children.
