Berwyn, regarding travel.stackexchange.com/questions/69115/… my understanding is that the person was not granted leave to enter merely they couldn't find an earlier flight and didn't want to bother with jailing him until
Yeah I am not surprised the immigration officer took one look at this mess and thrown him out
One of my failures in life is not being able to understand why on earth would anyone pay exorbitant amounts of money for a hotel room. I could afford it myself but it seems such a waste of money.
When I was working for a company which had Carlson Wagonlit as travel agents and they asked me what kind of hotel room I would want I answered I need a clean, preferably quiet room with a bed, my own bathroom and a roof...
about an hour into this, still in a very calm tone I asked them back "Do you think I went through the several years long legal Canadian immigration process just to become an illegal in the USA?"
An Officer and a Gentleman is a 1982 American romantic drama film that stars Richard Gere, Debra Winger and Louis Gossett, Jr., who won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for the film, and was produced by Lorimar Productions for Paramount Pictures. It tells the story of Zack (Gere), a U.S. Navy Aviation Officer Candidate who is beginning his training at Aviation Officer Candidate School. While Zack meets his first true girlfriend during his training, a local young woman named Paula (Winger), he also comes into conflict with the hard-driving Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant (Gossett, Jr.)...
@ZachLipton I presume sarcasm, because it'd be a very misguided thought (I hope!) that anyone on this site believes that 'a question attracting interest is somehow a bad thing'. Sure it might bring spammers or the occasional crud answer, but look at our 200ish unanswered questions - clearly we don't have the expertise to answer everything, the more the merrier.
incidentally, which question?
ah toddler one. @AndrewGrimm it even states - 'locked for high amount of off-topic comments..." etc. Looks like @mindcorrosive locked it as people were starting to converse in the comments, and add off-topic comments. The system immediately flags it for mods once it hits 20+ comments to investigate and possibly lock, especially if there are several downvoted/low quality answers as well from new users (looks like there were a few rated 0 or below that were removed).
Looks like a couple of mods have been taking care of business. I was busy all weekend, so catching up.
@Karlson I don't think there is a German prepaid card with free EU roaming (for the next year that is). The prices for roaming are pretty standard across the board. If you ever find one I'd be grateful to hear. At the moment I use a British SIM for that.
Last I had seen that 'rent a plane' answer to the todlers Q, it had 136 or so upvotes, and that while there were some down votes as well. And it did answer the question as asked.
This answer got 134 upvotes, yet it was deleted by a mod. Some might think of the answer as a sarcastic answer, but I do not think so, and many others share the same opinion with me. In my opinion, it was a legitimate answer to a poor question.
Why did the mod take that decision?
@Berwyn 's answer seemed good to me, people liked it, and it answered the question. If the OP does not have $16,000 then that does not make the answer wrong. Just saying.
As a pro in the airline business, I think the current top answer is not practical. Not at all. not even a bit.. even if you buy a first class seat, a crying baby can be there.. really..
The answer 'ask the parents to keep the kid quiet' is actually not that bad if the parents engage the child in activities that make it react in the too loud voice.
It's a correct and valid answer -- that's for sure. Just not very helpful. The problem I have with such non-answering answers is that they can be applied to many air-travel questions.
Problems with toddlers? Get a private jet.
Too little luggage on the flight? Get a private jet.
In...
@mindcorrosive I respect your decision, but as a pro in this business, it is the ONLY correct answer to the problem. all the other answes are just fantasies.. wrong.. WRONG..
