Reply to LPT Request: How to tell a friend that their negative talk (raging) needs to stop? by swishphish1
I would approach it from a place of concern for him or a boundary. Ask him if he is doing ok, as you have noticed how negative he is seeing his achievements. Are you and your friends giving him high standards, is he afraid to miss out or does he have to be the best at everything? Either he will open up or be embarresed that you are concerned. Eiter way, you hopefully get him to stop.
Or you state a clear boundary: You really like him as a friend but his competitiveness makes competitive activies Hard for all of you, so he either changes or you will no longer invite him.
There will be no change without some pain

The plane will never dive at such an angle that the mask will swing all the way to the person in front of you.. If it is, you and the person in front of you are going to be too scared to grab the mask anyway.
Additionally, the masks are on a short tether when initially deployed. A tether too short to swing to the passenger in front. Theres the hose you see in the safety briefing thats long, but then an additional string attached from the mask to a pin that has to be pulled in order to start the chemical reaction in the O2 container. The reason it's so short is so you're forced to pull that pin out in the process of putting the mask on. Otherwise you would have to be instructed to pull the pin, which most people would forget in their panic.
So its extremely unlikely the person in front of you will even have the chance to grab the mask.

Just to expand from personal experience.
The procedure at my company was to fill the tanks with water and a small amount of bleach. Let it sit then flush the system till no bleach is detected on the test strip. But not only was the amount of bleach not measured, it wasn't left in long enough, and it was also rare for most of us to thoroughly test it afterward to verify we got all of it out..
Then the cart that we used to fill the tank? I never saw that thing cleaned. And the outside of the hose was pretty dirty. It was always capped but I can't imagine it was clean.
Don't drink hot drinks.

I read what he wrote, you told him to unplug everything which is what I assume you do as you didn't mention any switchable hubs. Regardless, I just feel the likelihood of a device dying from being plugged in is extremely low. I think ruining a device from unplugging it is also extremely low but maybe more probable than your case.

You didn't even read the rest of the comment thread, did you? OP stated that the USB hubs are switched, so the individual ports can be turned off without having to unplug the device. Which is the best option in this scenario.

Been working as a PTA for years now. Got a job right after graduating, tons of opportunities out there. Two year degree from community college, one of the best decisions I've ever made.

Prove to me that there's less wear on a device by having it unplugged when not in use compared to the amount of times you pull on the cable to unplug it. Both have to be so minimal.

Ask them if they’d be concerned if you were doing that constantly?

Real LPT is to not sit in the back cause that's where everyone is taking a dump

"Hey man, I noticed that you're kind of a dick to yourself. You're always saying something bad about yourself and calling attention to it. Is everything ok? I hope you don't think I'm thinking those things about you, I enjoy having you around."
Sounds like insecurity to me. He's worried he's a fuck up and everyone else thinks it, too. If he calls the mistakes out first others can't expose him and humiliate him. As a friend it's good to know how your friends need to be reassured/shown love and acceptance. Sounds like some verbal reassurance could help him, point out things he does well, compliment something genuine - not something forced or fake sounding, show him some love. And if the group is talking about it, and the group cares for this friend, the group all bands together to build him up not make him feel worse. And then, when he's ready, you shit talk him as usual and harmony is once again achieved.
You're a good friend. Good luck.

Any LPT I would offer would only really benefit frequent fliers.
That being said, sodoku is a great way to pass the time if you can't sleep and for whatever reason you don't have anything else to entertain yourself with.
Oh, and Netflix let's you download movies and shows to your phone or tablet so you don't have to have a data connection on the flight.

That would spill all of the hot beverages in economy, so the FAA forbids such a descent.
