Arnold Schwarzenegger was detained at Munich airport due to common travel mistake
Anyone who has flown internationally is likely to have noticed the red or green signs above the exit doors one passes through after picking up bags from the luggage carousel. The green "nothing to declare" is the one used by most travelers (there's even a 2010 movie about life on the France-Belgium border of the same title) but those traveling with anything from commercial goods and food to excessive amounts of cash and other expensive goods need to declare what they are bringing into the country to customs.Related: These Are the Worst Days and Times to go Through Airport Customs While he is no stranger to crossing borders, actor and former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger recently ran afoul of EU customs after arriving at Munich International Airport from Los Angeles. This is the watch brand that got Arnold Schwarzenegger in trouble at Munich International Airport. Schwarzenegger's luxury watch got him detained (here's how much it costs) As initially reported by CNN, Schwarzenegger was on his way to a charity auction in Austria in which he planned to auction off a luxury Audemars Piguet watch worth approximately €26,000 (approximately $28,280 USD) for charity.

He was held for over two hours and eventually released after paying the taxes required for bringing in a product of this worth into the country. "He did not declare a product; a product that was imported from non-EU countries in order to remain in the EU and the process applies to everyone," Munich Customs spokesperson Thomas Meister told CNN in a statement. Sources who were close to Schwarzenegger and communicating with him during the process at the airport told media outlets that he was not handed a customs card when passing out of the airport and immediately offered to pay the necessary customs only to have the ATM to which he was brought to take out the cash not work due to having a limit on how much one can withdraw at a time. Due to the late hour, a worker was also not around to repair it.'A total comedy of errors that would make a very funny cop movie...' Eventually, someone brought over a credit card machine and Schwarzenegger was able to make the payment and go on his way to Austria. "Arnold was detained for three hours today at Munich airport for traveling with a watch he owns, that he might be auctioning at his charity auction tomorrow in Kitzbuhel," the source explained to CNN. "He cooperated at every step even though it was an incompetent shakedown, a total comedy of errors that would make a very funny cop movie." The European Union requires those coming into the countries that are part of it to declare and pay tax on any goods valued at more than €430 (roughly $467 USD). The U.S. has similar laws for goods costing more than $200, $800 or $1,600 while the exact threshold will depend on the countries visited and how long one has spent out of the country. Whether due to not knowing the law or to avoid the tax, not declaring them can subject one to heavy fines and even criminal prosecution.

*Watch SpaceX launch four astronauts to the International Space Station*
SpaceX on Thursday launched a crew of four astronauts, including one former veteran NASA astronaut and three European astronauts, to the International Space Station (ISS). One of the company's Falcon 9 rockets lifted off at 4:49 p.m. Eastern from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, sending its Dragon spacecraft into orbit. The craft, named Freedom, separated from the upper stage of the rocket around 12 minutes after liftoff. Freedom is expected to dock with the ISS Jan. 20 at around 4:19 a.m. Eastern. Both the crew and shuttle will remain on the station for two weeks before returning to Earth. Related: Elon Musk's SpaceX notches another big milestone The mission represents the third such mission flown by SpaceX for Axiom Space. The first was flown in April 2022 and the second in May 2023. The goal of this ongoing round of Axiom missions, according to the company, is to further its efforts to lay the groundwork needed to construct and operate its Axiom Station, which aims to be the world's first commercial space station upon the decommissioning of the ISS in 2030.

"Axiom Station will host people, research and manufacturing, which will lead to the development of numerous industries using techniques that are available only in microgravity," the company says.

*AITAH for divorcing my wife because I want someone better?*
My wife and I are married for 6 years now,we have a daughter together. Our marriage became bad after our daughter was born. A big point of contention was surname for our daughter. I wanted mine she wanted hers. We compromised on hers after a lot of bickering on her surname. I conceded to the argument that she was carrying the baby so she deserves the honor. And I was okay with it, it made sense. But it always sat in some unreachable corner of my mind. Now I know why. For 3 years she gave all her love to our daughter. It was like I wasn't even in her radar. I was kept at a distance. When I communicated I was accused of being jealous of my daughter. Some part of me knew that I was, and I felt ashamed. Soon it became the new normal. I was lonely and I learned to be okay with it. My boss invited me to his house for dinner. He is a great man, very supportive. His wife was very affectionate towards him while mine was distant and naggy. I saw their relationship and I compared it to mine and I came to a realization that my wife is not into me. Maybe she never was. Now she has someone she actually loves (my daughter) so she doesn't need me for companionship. I am just an annoyance. It was not a sad realization, it was freeing. I want what my boss has, a woman who loves me. That's not my wife. That surname bit came to my mind. My boss's wife is proud to take his last name, to give her children his last name. Mine doesn't feel that pride. I told my wife that I want a divorce. I gave her my reason, I talked about my feelings. She was angry and annoyed. Told me that we have family together and I should grow up. That up and downs are part of marriage. She said she will try to be better from then on. She tried to give me shit about what I said about surnames. Called it chauvinistic. I decided not to argue back. I started the process of divorce and she was served 2 days ago. She was shocked, I have never seen her like that. It was like she couldnt even believe that I was actually divorcing her. In her defense it all happened in 3 weeks span. She is now trying to make me stop divorce. She said she will take my name and give our daughter my name if that's what I want. She still doesn't get it. Surnames were just symptoms of the bigger problems. She just does not love me enough. I want someone who does. She wants therapy but I don't see how that will help us in any way. She said our problems can be fixed and not to gamble my life and our daughters life like that. There is no guarantees. She is not wrong, I am playing a huge gamble with my life. Buy I do want a woman who can love me like the wife of my boss loves him. I want a better wife than my current wife. AITAH?? submitted by /u/Caresfares to r/AITAH [link] [comments]

She said our problems can be fixed and not to gamble my life and our daughters life like that. There is no guarantees. She is not wrong, I am playing a huge gamble with my life. Buy I do want a woman who can love me like the wife of my boss loves him. I want a better wife than my current wife. AITAH?? submitted by /u/Caresfares to r/AITAH link comments

*Which actor nailed a role so hard that they're known for almost nothing else (in a good way)*
On the one end of the spectrum you have the ubiquitous actors like Samuel L. Jackson who has played a supportive or supplementary role in a million movies and isn't praised too much for a specific role he played. The most notable role I associate with him is probably Pulp Fiction, but he's truly a mainstay and seems to feature in 90% of movies from the 90s and 2000s. Other actors fill a middle ground where they appear a bit less frequently but have played notable characters in say 5-10 movies, such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Jack Nicholson, Daniel Day Lewis, Matt Damon, Matthew McConaughey. Finally, on the other end you have actors who you associate immediately and solely with a single performance, an actor that simply is that character in your head, someone who embodied the role so well that you'd struggle to believe they aren't that person in real life. Someone who might not have the most filmography entries, but a single character has eternalized them in the hall of fame. For me, that actor is Viggo Mortensen as Aragorn in The Lord of the Rings trilogy. I am sure he has done some amazing work outside of the LOTR franchise that I simply haven't seen, but he embodied that role in such a way that no one will be able to replicate his performance. Who is that actor for you? submitted by /u/DanGrobs97 to r/movies [link] [comments]
