What you're describing are use cases for charter flights - renting an aircraft for a specific, temporary purpose, usually from a company specialising in such flights - they own or lease the aircraft and employ the flight crew and maintenance staff.

I once slept in a hotel room where the TV had a blue LED standby light. I had to go and cover it up, it was way too bright.

Here's my thing about 'Ten'.

I love the first half of this album. It's some of the best music I know in the genre. High energy, catchy, passionate. But somehow, the second half feels to me like the band ran out of ideas and gas. After 'Jeremy' it's all pretty average, low-energy stuff, with the exception of 'Garden'.

Dream Theater "Awake" (1994). Extraordinary from the first to the last note. 75 minutes of phenomenal prog metal. They've made good and great albums before and after, but they never excelled the pure class and artistry displayed on this album.

Bruce Dickinson "The Chemical Wedding". I never liked Iron Maiden much, but Dickinson's solo stuff is a different class. Fresh, creative, varied, energetic. Most of his solo albums are well worth the listen, but "Chemical Wedding" stands out for its high variety and creativity.

I'd like to know your sources, because to my knowledge there is no such ban in Germany.

The fastest way to ruin a hobby is to make it a side hustle, or worse, your job.

Spoken like someone who has never tried to get a group of people larger than two to collectively change their behaviour in a specific way.

Das dürfte eindeutig verfassungswidrig sein.

I think you're off by one there. 8 took what 7 set up and tried to make it something that wasn't following the well-trodden path of Star Wars past. It tried to some unexpected things that were nonetheless interesting and could have been really great, if 9 hadn't come along and torn down everything 8 for the sake of placating the "fans".

I'm not American, and English isn't my first language, but I had zero problems understanding him in those movies.

Just go and rewatch Batman Begins. Maybe his role as the kid who spots Batman from his porch and gets given one of his gadgets can soften the reflex...
