    I can’t find the revolving door! What level is it on again? What side of the building? Damnit, I feel so inadequate.

    Fellas, there’s no point arguing with the flight attendants about wireless signal safety. Just smile and lie that you’ve switched it to airplane mode.

      Yea, they just have to enforce it, not make sensible rules. Just let them do their jobs in peace and go petition the relevant aviation authorities if it bothers you that much.

        Nah, fuck that. Anarchy forever. People should break pointless rules. But they should also lie about it when it’s a hill this pointless to die on.

      it’s not for safety anyway, it’s to prevent the cell towers on the ground overloading when 200 phones connect and then disconnect in a second.

    Until all the lights flicker in the lobby

    OK but is this actually a thing that happens? Can the door motor feed back into the grid, or are there safeguards against that?

      As a prospective electrical engineer, i sure hope there’s a safeguard against that, since i believe it would be quite simple and cheap to include. If you spin it fast enough you might overload and fry it though, even if it is there.

    Can someone explain this to me ? Imagine I’m neither a native english speaker nor a revolving door engineer
