    Chances the FAA will deny me for these yeses in 17a and 18 after approval from doc?

    What I read is that it’s a conflict of interest to have the AME who does your exams be your primary care. The conflict of interest makes sense. I guess a better way to phrase it is that I’d like to find a PCP who is also an AME, but have actual cert exams by someone else.

    Walks Into Turning Propeller

    Those things don’t automatically make homebirths a bad idea. My daughter was an IVF homebirthed baby, an only child since we lost her twin. There’s more to it than hips alone.

    Overweight - Should I even waste my time?

    Great job!! I’m going to give you a piece of unsolicited advice: When you hit your target weight, do NOT go back to eating what you used to. Smaller body means less fuel is needed. A lot of people go back to their previous diets, gain weight, and think weight loss doesn’t work. It does, if...

    Walks Into Turning Propeller

    I’m not even remotely squeamish about anything that has to do with the human body. Nothing about the body is a big deal. Vagina. Penis. Rectum. Testes. Childbirth also isn’t a big deal. But WTF does that article have to do with anything here? I admit to being highly amused, though, at...

    Chances the FAA will deny me for these yeses in 17a and 18 after approval from doc?

    Meant to follow up! This was me! On Thursday morning, it was still at imported. While out droning (‘cause yeah, I do that), I checked again, and it had gone to certified! I was so surprised it was that fast that I nearly cried. And then called my husband to tell him what I was already up...

    And that’s fine. Not everyone likes the same things in the same ways. These days, there’s actually a term for people who need an emotional bond to enjoy sex: Demisexual. And that’s fine. If that’t you, then that’s you, and no one should make you feel bad. My husband is demisexual. (I know...

    In the 1940’s, WASPs were barred from flying on their periods since the “smart” and “doctor” men in charge though that that week meant women weren’t capable of anything. Applicants had to be under 35 in case the war went on longer than 5 years, since they weren’t going to allow women to fly...

    Funny. I’m MORE bonded to my husband because he supports me being polyamorous. Sex is fun and can be a bonding activity, but so can most things. While it’s true that the act of intercourse can release certain bonding hormones, this doesn’t mean we’re set up to be hurt, or that not being hurt...

    Ooorrrrr she doesn’t want to be saddled down in a partnership yet, but still enjoys sex. Not all people want a relationship all the time. For the vast majority, a relationship means less freedom as many decisions are made between both people. Presuming you’re married, how often do you take...

    We aren’t a monolith who all think the same way. Try seeing individual people as individuals, and get to know them on that basis.

    You are infantalizing when you insist that you personally know what’s going to happen and use your opinion to decide that something is wrong for all people. It may not be a choice you want to make for yourself, and that’s fine. That girl you knew in college isn’t a cross-section of society. I...

    Cheating is when one party violates the established rules. If you and your SO have a rule that you are to be each other’s one and only, then either of you stepping out is cheating. If you both agree to have an open arrangement and set other rules, then you aren’t. Just as every game has...

    Anyone else being blackmailed by NordVPN?

    Well, some people like to access content online that’s blocked in their countries, and if we’re honest with ourselves, plenty of people still like to torrent stuff.

    EVs and gas tax

    Washington State and Oregon have implemented registration tiers. I don’t know if I have enough posts yet to share links, but Washington and Oregon definitely have an EV fee with registration, and it’s also more to register a more fuel efficient car, and honestly, as a driver of an efficient...

    Why is the CAP so understaffed?

    Well. First thread I’m reading here, and I’ve got to say that the degree of petty and drama rivals the sewing groups I used to be in. I don’t know whether to be amused or to roll my eyes or to just be glad that I don’t care who thinks that adults shouldn’t wear glitter or any of the stuff I...
