Wait, what? They didn't allow for AliExpress-powered after-market alterations?
If it was for O'Leary, he'll make you pay for the privilege of being able to sit down on a plane...Leave a comment:

They don't offer the option of putting a credit card reader on the door to the restroom, so he isn't interested.Leave a comment:

Ryanair recently announced that talks with Boeing to place a large order for 737 Maxes had broken down, because they couldn't agree on price. Michael O'Leary is now negotiating with another airplane manufacturer:

I use that phrase all the time!
Any time you find a locked door or a gate when you don’t have a the key but you know where it is.
If you try to get into your car but you left the keys inside…
”Somebody’s gotta’ go back and get a shitload of dimes!”

Echostar Satellite Communications uplink/teleport campus, Cheyenne, WY. (41.13296N -104.73629W/WGS84)
If you receive television or Muzak through Dish Network DVB-S, this is where your signal originates. Basically it's like a roided-out cable headend.

North is up. The massive rectangular dish at the top is a multi-LNB downlink. This is where all the cable networks (HBO, Weather, Nickelodeon, etc.) are received from their various C- and Ku-band satellites. The large round dishes are the uplinks that send their main national services to Echostar's fleet. The arrays of smaller dishes south of them, above the "Echostar" marker are (so I'm told) uplinks for their local and regional spot-beam services (local TV channels). The clusters of small 3- and 6-foot dishes around the base of the large uplink antennae are mostly downlinks for quality-of-service monitoring within the headend; most of the locals are sent to Echostar via fibre but a few are also received via C-band off these clusters. Supposedly one of the medium dishes (not sure which) in the southwest array is where the Muzak and Sirius audio simulcasts are uplinked to Echostar 7 (119 W).
Alternate view. North is right.

The "kick the bucket" gag has to be one of my two favorite movie jokes of all time!
That and "I'm a locksmith... and I'm a locksmith."
