This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Yeah but data rate caps are money grab bullshit and everyone knows it.

If they really wanted to measure it per what it costs them it'd be unlimited with speed caps, just that doesn't make nearly as much money

And like any right drag increase(by extension fuel) would be easily lost to favorable or unfavorable winds, the noise is so small considering it is a joke - the extra $0.01 per flight ain't gonna cost them the $50 per passenger they're charging (made up numbers but I'm not gonna whip out drag calculations just yet lmao)
