Possibly. It has been like 10 years ago since I last flew through dubai though, so things might have changed.

Mach number depends on the (local) speed of sound, which depends on the temperature of the air - therefore on the altitude.

how exactly do you objectively decide that? please, specify the methodology, I'd love to hear it. If anything, the crime should be based on what makes it stick, which usually means proportional to the wealth. Obviously the higher the standard in the country the higher the fines are going to be, and that standard is pretty damn high in dubai.

e.g. if you're living in india where everything is objectively cheap for people in the west and you visit germany, get a 500 eur speeding fine, you cannot just cry "it's not proportional to my standards!!11!1".

proportional to what exactly? to your poor ass, or to the rich dubai native? I would say the latter, because, you know, it happened in dubai.

punishemnt should be high enough so that next time he will think twice before he's abusive. He was warned first, he said he didn't care. He got a fine, he wasn't happy with it either. So he's in jail. I think it's all perfectly fair. I bet my left nut he will never again be abusive to the staff in dubai.

I find it absolutely shocking how many people here are siding with the abusive asshole. 🙄

Honestly, nope, never, except that one time. There are usually enough urinals or if I had to wait it was a minute max.

In my case at dubai airport at that time that specific terminal only had one restroom with two urinals, and there was a double queue from the urinals to the outside of the restrom, probably about 30 people long. It did not get any shorter for the hour and a half I was there - I waited.

play stupid games win stupid prizes.

thank fucking god.
