The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasnโt a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.
The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they canโt build the nuclear bomb they werenโt building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didnโt start.
Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.
If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.
Sorry this happened to you. Flights have several considerations, not just available space, but also weight and balance. If it's a very full flight and the calculated weight of all passengers, bags and cargo exceed limits, they must defer some of the weight. It's against federal regulations for them to fly over maximum gross weight.
Just FYI so you understand what might have happened.
@ChrisMartzWX Tariffs or other taxes would easily pay for US defense, if the government was actually in the defense business and not the making war around the globe business.
@wcwcrowbar@AEW It's possible the light is not an actual lighting system, but a by-product of the propulsion method. The same way that jet afterburners leave bright trails behind a fighter even at night with the lights off.
@gjquartermaine@AlchemyAmerican Consider that maybe that thing with probability zero doesn't actually exist. Dinosaurs with laser eyes are probability zero, but we can conceive of them and create them in a virtual space.
And they might seem very real in that context.

@texasrunnerDFW@realTomSlayton@MmisterNobody Are you dumb? When rents are set, owner add in expected maintenance costs for the lease term, and divide those expenses over the number of rental payments in the term.
Europeans are desperate to start WWIII with Russia, and yet *we* love violence?
Europe is the most war-scarred continent on Earth. Europeans reveled in killing each other for millenia. You just somehow forgot that all violence is personal, and all personal violence must be answered in kind.
