Commented on a user's answer that he wasn't really answering the question asked (which was a shame as he'd put in a lot of effort). He flagged my comment as 'trolling' claiming I 'troll anything he's ever written'. Nice.
on the upside, nobody's debated whether Israel is a country for at least 3 days :)
Just reading his text, he's tried to be fairly specific
I was thinking, I often wonder if there are strange ways I can cross a border
if I asked "I've crossed a border by train, bus, ferry, car, and foot - where else could I cross the border in a different manner?" would that be valid?
gah, people like Halabi - "I think it not a real question, by to be honest it is really related to travel... and I personally love it..hence I have voted to reopen it :) " - if it's not a real question, why vote to reopen??
I'm driving cross country and back this summer, and will be baking in the sun for most of it. So I'm looking for recommendations for gear and/or strategies for harnessing some of it to make electricity to power phones, laptops, etc. Does anyone has any experience with this?
Of course. Solar energy that is portable is same everywhere in the world, but something that is durable for long distance driving should be finite subset.
lol, on flightfox, I did a search for someone for a flight. Found what I think is a great deal, and can't get any cheaper. their response. "No, this is too expensive, can you find me something cheaper please?"
well people charge stuff with solar gear while camping
I like southern India.. They are peaceful people.. I swear I saw a church sharing the same wall with a mosque and a hindu temple 1 meter away,.. I kinda like that a lot
In southern Saudi Arabia in an area on the top of few mountains which has a very unique and complicated terrain, people need a unique way of traveling between villages of that area. This is how (Fifa'a) looks like:
And this is how they travel from one village to another, or from one mountain t...
ok now i figured out this.. the question was about "Public/share" transportation.. does my answer fit in there?
it is public to them.. it is just one by one..
guys, I had this thought yesterday...
Out of every 5 persons in planet earth.. there is 1 Chinese and 1 Indian... 0.5 North Americans, 0.5 Latin Americans, 0.3 Arabs, 0.25 Indonesians...
I would nominate the Wuppertaler Schwebebahn.

This floating train is extraordinary and local and real, i.e. no prototype or whatsoever. It runs in the German city of Wuppertal, some 50 kilometers north of Cologne. Fares start a 1.40 EUR, for a 30 minutes ride. A one-day ticket costs ...
This is alraming. You write something, you change it, and then you have some wisenheimer who dot of it what they want. That's more than a good reason to leave
oh you're still able to post in chat? interesting. well that's useful actually - can you confirm your acct name has been deleted in travel.se and it's now some anonymous userxxxx?
@lejohn I'm sorry it has come to this. And I wish you had at least pinged me in chat before going berserk. I still don't understand what the trigger was. It seems you posted an answer, and it never really got posted?
Just to clarify, the mods cannot control what answers get displayed or not.
What could have happened though is sometimes you compose an answer, and if doesn't get posted, StackExchange saves it for your next visit. These questions with a saved answer show up in a blue background.
That's more than alarming. You write something and you are not able to undo that on the site where you have written it because some buffoon will bring it back! What about privacy and intellectual property?
and things you write disappear in the nirvana. but that's less alarming. The owner of a site can control whats published and what not
thats exactly the point if moreover this is writeen in a legal agreement that nobody reads i am even more happy to bundle off. thats worse than anythng else i have seen on the web
i am consternated that i have accepted to take part in a machinery where you participate and then a commercial firms appropriates eveything you write. even if it's written in a legal agreement does not mean that it has any legal or ethical value. For me this is theft
I read a few posts where this is intended, and I can't dispute that, but I am questioning its legality. As I understand it, all of my posts made to a Stack Exchange site are copyright me, licensed for public use under CC BY-SA 3.0. This means that I'm giving my posts under that license, but the c...
I find the strategy of this site is somewhat perfidious. If e.g. I choose to contribute to wikiepdia, the things are clear. I like to share knowledge, thoughts, etc. I have no problem to do it on a communitarian site, but it has to be clear. Otherwise I would like to keep the control of what I write. And that's definitely not possible here
Actually sometimes some people in sites like SE uses the Clichés like "open community" and stuff like that while they are really controlling things in a close way!
woah, @Roflcopter - you really copped the brunt in your rep. :/
@lejohn - sorry, I've never really been fussed. My theory is that when companies have enough users (thousands) someone is checking that EULA for me. 99.9% of the time, it works out just fine, and it saves me hours of effort. I accept it could backfire, but I prefer to not worry about lawyers etc.
Halabi: I agree. This site site sniggles user with this "open" thing, but thir aim is to attarct users and content, appropriate everything to make money out of it
so you know how when relationships end, you don't necessarily want to hear from the ex about your 'problems'? sorry it didn't work, and hope you have a great weekend lejohn.
sometimes when you spend a lot of time in a webiste and you get the feeling that you are a part of it.. then a downvote will be really big.. I guess this is how he felt it..
Additionally, he went beyond vandalising his own posts. Before we suspended him, he started close voting and downvoting other, perfectly legitimate questions.
I know as a fact that I've gotten liquids larger than 3 ounces through the TSA scanner systems (such as sunscreen). I was scolded one time for bringing a shampoo container, but I was still ultimately allowed to bring that container through.
In any case, how often are liquids larger than 3 ounces...
So a user asks:
How do I minimize the chances of TSA agents confisticating liquids larger than 3 ounces?
on Travel.SE.
Now, if the TSA rules are legally binding, aren't they essentially asking about breaking the law? And if so, should we close it, and under what category?
Aside: Does anyone k...
A user asked

My question is - are the TSA rules legally binding or not? Whether or not you get charged if caught (you probably won't), are the rules actually LAW?
"Turkey's government holds an emergency security meeting amid reports that one of its fighter jets was shot down by Syrian security forces. " - this doesn't bode well
well that's the great part of this website - if you have a different answer, preferably with references, I can always change which one I accept :)
In fact, I'd encourage it. It's never occured to me before (About TSA), and now I'm keen to know - preferably before my next USA flight, otherwise I may be tempted to ask them ;)
