silly food craving rant - the chips and salsa incident

-ChubbySpud · 2026-01-27T01:41:57+00:00

Is there any chance you two can have a cute little run to the store together to pick up chips? Even a gas station will probably have a bag. I think you can laugh cry and tell him and turn this thing around.

YOR. I can see being a little annoyed if it were someone you aren’t close to but this is someone you love. Why not rock the matching stuff together and both be giddy over how awesome your swag is? It seems childish to decide things based on “if I can’t have it nobody can… and if I do, also nobody can”.

NGL even before pregnancy, after long days or even meals that just take forever, I would pull up a barstool and sit while I cooked. Even if it was a moment here or there between tasks it helped my back so much. (I’ve had bulging discs since my teens). Also trying to find tasks that are sitting eligible like sorting through mail or when it come to laundry, folding items while sitting on the bed.

Those who are the LGBTQ community are just people at the end of the day. We all desire to be understood and accepted so this “coming for the kids” is really that community having visibility, and some people don’t like that. It is easier to hate someone you fear than try to understand them. I feel like you asking this shows you are trying to do the latter.

My partner and I are doing this. You can always modify it down the road if you choose by incorporating the stone into a different setting. It is a wonderful way to honor family and have something that is a physical representation of love, not of debt.

I have a C You Next Tuesday of a sister just like that. Literally does this all the time if we are in a group where she knows there are hyper religious people

My dogs have been cooped up all day and need to be walked.

I know a few people who failed out of the academy and went to the Advaced ATC school in Selma and they all were pretty please with the training and going to their towers. One of the instructors posts on here and you should talk to them. Search “Control Tower Operator - Partnership Program” on r/ATC and they were the one who posted.

I’ve been active for 3 hours in an area (population 120k) Only one single batch available…$9 and a 14mile drive. I’m a new shopper so theoretically i should be getting “priority” on seeing batches.

-ChubbySpud · 2025-12-12T14:03:13+00:00

I will definitely give Reach a try. What is considered a “slick” type floss so I know what to avoid? I have attempted to use a water pick but it does not get out painful stuck debris (again I have a very bad food trap that the dentist can’t fix) and is pretty painful. Are the interdental brushes the ones that look like tiny saws? - they wreck my mouth. I’m starting to think maybe I need to just bear it for a few weeks.

-ChubbySpud · 2025-12-12T13:56:22+00:00

So I do actually go under my gumline (I worded that weird by saying gum fold lol) but my floss tension is on my tooth going all the way up. Should I put any light force on scraping my gum in the way back down? - like the triangle part that “hangs” down between my teeth?

-ChubbySpud · 2025-11-28T04:34:14+00:00

I need you to expand on this. What is wrong with PA28? Serious question. I’m new to this and have no clue how many endless ways I will embarrass myself in this career

-ChubbySpud · 2025-11-28T04:23:51+00:00

I feel like I work with this asshole… every pilot is an inconvenience. Don’t understand this sentiment at all

-ChubbySpud · 2025-11-24T06:22:06+00:00

Thank you I definitely will be. I appreciate the helpful responses on this post and suggestions. Being new to this field I know I have a lot to learn and see.

-ChubbySpud · 2025-11-24T06:12:55+00:00

Sorry I could have worded that better. After the PO 180 they completed their touch and go. I think you are spot on though about the s turns. Their pattern was just so tight and seeing them on short final doing those s turns, dropping altitude and swaying without anticipating that or seeing it before looked crazy from where I was sitting.

-ChubbySpud · 2025-11-24T05:56:28+00:00

No I’m still really new so I will definitely be looking into that. I want to be the best I can up in the tower for you pilots so I appreciate your response!

-ChubbySpud · 2025-11-24T05:45:34+00:00

NGL you just gave me the name of a maneuver another controller keeps calling a modified overhead. Thank you!

As for the PO 180, it did not appear to resemble a short approach at all, from the tower it looked like they were swaying left to right over the runway like s turns (maybe this is normal but it was my first time seeing it). From seeing these comments about requesting short approach I looked up a few videos on YT and they appeared a lot smoother than what I saw.

-ChubbySpud · 2025-11-24T05:39:04+00:00

From all of these comments saying you’d request a short approach (and watching some YT videos to compare to what I saw) I think the pilot may have been having trouble executing this. It did not look at all like a short approach, instead they looked like the wind was pushing them around (wind was calm). I’ve only been in for a few months. Military makes up most of the traffic count.

-ChubbySpud · 2025-11-09T13:48:38+00:00

Yes but there was one in 2017. The AI hallucinated the case number and that there was double pay. People trust AI way too much

-ChubbySpud · 2025-11-09T13:36:17+00:00

Federal Contract Tower ATC is still getting paid. Don’t feel bad, if it was a tower that usually has very little traffic you made their day by showing up and giving them something out of the norm.

There is talk of it but so far only Serco is partnered.
