I Bought I Flight To San Antonitexas From Las Vegas And The Text Disappeared How Do I Get It Back

Why do planes fly east towards Australia?

Airlines DO fly over the pacific to Australia from US and Canada. Flight time from Los Angeles to Sydney is 14 hours and 40min. That is just as long as the East route.But you are assuming everyone in the US and Canada are flying from one airport. USA is a REALLY BIG COUNTRY. Flight from NY to LA is 6 hours. Same for Toronto to Vancouver in Canada.So if you are in NYC and want to go to Australia [lets say Perth]. It is more efficient to take two flights. NYC to Dubai [12hrs]- Dubai to Perth [11hrs] {route i’ve taken numerous times}. Total combined flight time of 23hrs. Add to that the time in transit in Dubai, typically 6hrs but it can be as short as 1.5hrs. So total travel time of 25- 29hrs.Verses if you take the west route from NYC. NYC to LA [6hrs]. LA to Sydney [15hrs]. Then Sydney to Perth [6hrs]. Total flight time: 27 hrs. Add to that the transit time. In LA the transit time is consistently 6 to 8hrs. In Sydney another 6 or 8hrs. So total travel time of : 39hrs. Thats almost two days of traveling.Yes my times can be adjusted with careful planning but you will only shorten the duration of travel by approx 5hrs.I’ve taken the westerly route I mentioned above. Its horrendously inefficient. Very expensive because there is only one airline that i’m aware of that flies directly from LA to Australia [ Qantas]. And the route is very complex which increases the possibility of you missing a connection. I did break up that route with stops in Melbourne and New Zealand but it does nothing for the stress of flying.I like the East route because I love the airport in Dubai. Very convenient and comfortable with tons of amenities. LAX ins LA is just horrible. Most US airports are.

If every state of the USA declared war against each other, which would win?

I’m not sure if I really believe it, but since no one else here is making the case, I’ll name my home state.California.California is bordered by three states: Nevada, Oregon, and Arizona. Oregon and Nevada would have to be out of their minds to attack CA directly simply due to overwhelming numbers (as well as geographic barriers). Oregon troops would have to travel hundreds of miles just to reach Sacramento, and the Sierra Nevada gives a perfect defensive barrier against Nevada. Meanwhile, the border between Arizona and California is largely desert, and while Arizonans might be able to mount a significant first offensive, they’d get beaten back pretty quickly.While the other western states scramble to get organized, California could send troops as far as Canada and the Great Plains before it encountered an army large enough to stop it. This is ignoring military bases and military hardware (both of which CA has in abundance) and assuming that territorial gains are the goal of the war. If the goal is simply self-sufficiency, California could easily beat back attacks from other states given its strong natural borders, all while running a perfectly healthy economy off of agriculture and tech. It could also form a potential alliance with Mexico— the only other contestant for that not-insignificant prize would be Texas.In time, other states (especially Nevada) would be forced to give up resistance to California simply due to a need for resources. We practically upended the entire country’s food supply due to a measly drought— what will happen when we cut off those food supplies completely? Then there’s the fact that tax dollars levied from states with larger economies (California, Texas, Florida, New York, Georgia) end up going to expenses in smaller states, making them even more vulnerable economically. While Texas would certainly be able to push for a military victory, California would win the economic war.

What happens when you get a bench warrant?

used from: What to Do When Facing a Bench WarrantA bench warrant is an arrest warrant that is ordered by a judge against the defendant in a criminal case or a similar proceeding such as for a traffic ticket. A bench warrant is typically issued in the case of a failure to appear for trial, sometimes abbreviated “FTA.” The “bench” is the traditional term for the judge's seat.In serious criminal cases, a failure to appear will most likely lead to a “regular” arrest warrant, which would spur immediate attempts to find and jail the defendant. A bench warrant, on the other hand, usually does not mean the police will be at your door the next morning. But, your name will go into a statewide computer system that serves the entire law enforcement community. Once your name is in the database, if you have to deal with the police for any reason – even resulting from an incident that was not your fault, such as someone hitting your car from behind – you will be taken into custody for the outstanding bench warrant.Once you are taken into custody, you will have to post bail before you can be released. Typically, bail on a bench warrant for failure to appear will be enough to cover the fines and court costs for both the original offense and the FTA. Then, you'll get a new court date.If you know that there is a bench warrant out for your arrest, you can usually call either the clerk of the court or the local police department and arrange to come in and pay the bail so that the warrant will be recalled. You should find out, when you call, what kinds of payments they will accept, since a paper check is almost always not good enough, and not all localities are able to take credit cards.If you had posted bail before the missed court date, that money has almost certainly been forfeited at this point. If you had a very good reason why you weren't at the court on time and didn't call, you might be able to persuade the judge into letting you get that bail back, or at least having it credited against your fines and costs. Naturally, having an experienced criminal lawyer arguing on your behalf during this process will show the judge not only that you take the charges against you seriously, but also that you are genuinely contrite about your failure to appear.
