    This flying seems awfully expensive...

    Flying to me isn't worth the cost. Even assuming 5 hours a month a t hangar and a cheap 4 seater pretty much any other hobby smokes it in the value to dollar ratio. For what a cheap plane cost you could buy motorcyles, jetskis, and a boat, or take nice vacations or get a nice sports car.

    Thinking about - er bought - a Jeep Gladiator

    Drove one and generally liked it. Bout put my foot through the floorboards with how light the clutch is idk if its different on new ones but the one i drove was probably about a quarter the pressure of my civic. To where when i had the clutch depressed I could just leave my foot resting and feel...

    Thinking about an EV (nvm, bought one)

    I was shopping new cars and mentioned was looking at EV. Everyone had to share their opinion about how theyll never go EV. Or outlined all the edge cases where it wont work for them. I just sorta smile and nod now.

    Hiring standards are dropping

    Part of it is employment is so low and mid tier and higher jobs are available. Also people leaving the laborforce due to going single income households seems to be a thing at least amongst my friend group. Why work at retail/fast food when theres a lot more options available even for low skill...

    NA. How to treat parents?

    I think my hang up right now is the whole ultra orthodox religious' aspect i'd be fine with judgement on lifestyle choices but I don't want them to live out their lives thinking i'm going to hell. (their sect is very my ways the only way everyone else is hellfire) so smile and nod to keep the...

    NA. How to treat parents?

    Figured i'd ask the hivemind here since i'm sure someone has experience in this area. Bit of background my parents have recently retired and I live local so I try to visit once every 2 weeks or so. This is slowly becoming a chore. After retirement they have essentially become ultra religious...

    Strange twitter/x

    So what bad stuff is musky destroying. Making the app worse and artificially inserting those that pay into your timeline. A 20 percent decline in traffic. There has been zero user experience gains and now forces you to run add ons or scripts to block the spammy stuff or restore functionality...

    Strange twitter/x

    Ive never seen someone tank a company as fast as musk and twitter. Everything hes changed is for the worse. The app is now terrible, why does the nav bar hide on scroll? Why do i have to fight to remain on my feed only. If you don't run ad blocks its now infested with spam ads.

    Do airline crews tell you their names anymore?

    I keep PAs to a minimum. No one cares and as a pax i hate chatty captains. Only time i say anything really is if we arent on time or something out of the ordinary.

    Southwest pilot gets locked out of cockpit, climbs through window before flight

    I'm trying to remember my time on the 737 but if the AC has power to it I wonder why they couldn't just punch in the code and ten seconds later it auto unlocks unless you deny.

    (NA) Not a LEO, but. . .

    Yep, blow or blood draw only. Doing the monkey dance is a 1 way ticket to DUI arrest imo.

    (NA) Not a LEO, but. . .

    I had a big post typed up but deleted it cause it veered into politics. Lets just say my view on cops has soured and theres some stuff in your post i disagree with. 10. 6. 5. 3. 3. If i had kids i'd tell them be polite, give ID registration, and a simple statement "heading home/to work/school"...
