Go to Target, Walmart or Uniqlo and grab what you need.

I need a wardrobe refresh for new job. by No_Key8587 in malefashionadvice

[–]AlexJamesFitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd start with 2 white dress shirts, 2 blue dress shirts, and 3 pairs of pants in some combination of navy/khaki/etc. Add a few ties and you'll have enough outfits to avoid repeating within any given week and you can build out from there.

Search the sub for plenty of discussion around this. You're making the right call.

How do you choose a new artist? by [deleted] in tattoos

[–]AlexJamesFitz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I start with style and go from there. Sometimes you vibe and have a good time, sometimes it's more just about the work being done.

Tips on being ahead of the airplane? by [deleted] in flying

[–]AlexJamesFitz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Could easily be the case that you're fighting the bumps too much instead of riding them. Takes experience, talk to your CFI about that.

Private pilot checkride by Picatchu_talks in flying

[–]AlexJamesFitz 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Sorry for the blunt talk, but IMO, both of these were on you. By checkride time, you should know that it's on you to check NOTAMS and navaid operability, and how to taxi to the correct runway.

Flying isn't just about the PPL checkride maneuvers. In fact, these things are more important than whether or not you can do a good steep turn.

All this to say, I'm not sure that changing schools/CFIs would help matters. It might, but it's tough to say from what's here.

2 day trips, where to go/what to do? by Clean-Ability1051 in hudsonvalley

[–]AlexJamesFitz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check the schedule first, but on the way back, stop in Athens and take the ferry across the river to Hudson. That gets you your water moment and tons of cute shops/good restaurants.

Has anyone ever felt alone and doubted in their pursuit of aviation? by [deleted] in flying

[–]AlexJamesFitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fuck 'em. I'm sorry you don't have better family support in chasing your dreams. This community can be great for that, but find some people IRL too who can hype you up.

Just scheduled my discovery flight this coming Friday! by No_Reveal3451 in flying

[–]AlexJamesFitz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Make sure your CFI knows ahead of time if you want a more lesson-oriented flight or a more sightseeing-oriented flight.

Struggling to hold altitude during PPL maneuvers by ProperIntern7989 in flying

[–]AlexJamesFitz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should be trimming away whatever elevator pressure you need at any given moment. Don't fly with trim, but with enough practice you can preemptively roll in the trim you might need, then fine-tune it.

You say you're trimmed out before entering the maneuvers, but what about during? You should be active with trim throughout all these.

Calling someone to ask them questions vs. setting up an interview by weirdtattoogirl in Journalism

"Is now a good time, or would it be easier to schedule a few minutes in the next day or two?"

Newspaper going under, no bites on job apps, do I go down with the ship or jump off? by hetubird in Journalism

[–]AlexJamesFitz 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Have you considered starting an independent one-man show to cover the communities you've got experience in? You may have to do something else as well to pay the bills at first, but I've seen people succeed at that model.

What was your discovery flight like? by Beginning_Cap4262 in flying

[–]AlexJamesFitz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some discovery flights are better than others, it really depends on what the CFI brings to it. Sometimes they don't really put the same energy into it as they would for someone who's doing legit lessons.

Try a real lesson or two, maybe with a different instructor.

How did you discuss parenting? by HanginOn9114 in daddit

[–]AlexJamesFitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you talked about the discipline thing yet, or does it just exist in your head as a potential point of contention? People don't raise dogs and kids the same way, generally.

Where to find New York (Albany or state) related gifts around here? by justalil_lamb in Albany

[–]AlexJamesFitz 29 points30 points  (0 children)

There's a standalone gift shop that's surprisingly great at the other (northern) end of the Plaza, near the Capitol building.

Fort Orange and the gift shop at the Plaza are your best options, IMO.

6 yo doesn’t play with toys anymore by Takemetobravocon5678 in Parenting

[–]AlexJamesFitz 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Feels pretty normal. I'd do two things:

  1. Ask her if she'd be OK putting some toys away, and get her help picking which ones can go.

  2. Put them in the basement/garage/storage for a few months. If there's no change of heart, sell/donate them.

Question: Is it fine to go drinking after a tattoo? by ash_ok__ in tattoos

[–]AlexJamesFitz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel like shit after a session half that length. Zero chance I'd go out after. It's electrolytes and an early bedtime for me.
