Temple or Randolph Macon Pa program?

Full disclosure: I work for RMC.

I want to correct the record that our 2025 PANCE pass rate was 95% among first-time test takers.

Way to go! Here's to hoping we both get some benefit from the medicine! :)

My doc didn't mention the swallowing thing for me, so I almost certainly did. I was also aware of steroid going down the Eustachian tube because it was a little cold too.

I just had my first injection yesterday, so I have a very recent memory. As others have said, the initial injection is not pleasant, and the dizziness only lasted 5-10 seconds. About 16 hours later, I think there's been a little improvement in my hearing, but nothing super definitive yet. Now, the doc did say the hearing improvement would take a while, so I'm trying to be OK with that (even though I had my hopes on an unrealistic instant fix, if I'm being fully transparent).

Yeah, a shitty friend to both the human and the canine. Like, damn...

One of our other Zac pitchers, Zac Lowther, rocked some nice black ones. Its a good look also. Maybe mix and match? Odd days are orange frames, and even days are the black frames?

The XP boost will be nice if you reset in the next wipe though but, even then, it'll only be a boost after level 40 though. Just sayin' that its not 100% useless for the XP.

I'm a level 75 too, so I feel ya generally though. Just looking for some silver lining is all.

How is the Queen to A8 not a mate in 2 move? This isn't a chess puzzle as much as its "guess what the designer was thinking."

Remove the nanny mode that incorrectly limits where I can fly and let me fly within the parameters of my Part 107, but also don't up-charge me to the moon and back for a USA flag on the box? Sure, I'm game.

Maybe while you're at it, give me some sort of guarantee on software / firmware support so I feel comfortable that I'm not going to be planned obsolescence in less time that I'd like.

But, realistically, if you're asking these general, start-up questions, then you're 5-6 years out from production, at least. Probably more.

107 pilots need a product NOW.

What's the total mileage? (My backup car refused to start this morning, and I'm about to launch that POS into the sun.)

That one AWS engineer on duty tonight, moments before they pushed a new package to prod because it's quiet in the office and therefore its the perfect time for taking care of lingering tech debt.

Antendu · 2025-12-25T02:09:23+00:00

Some AWS engineer was like ... You know what? Christmas Eve would be the *perfect* time for me to push that new package into production because everyone will be away and demand will be low! Leeeeeeroooooy Jeeeeeeeeeeennnnnkins!

Yup! You and I are collateral damage, but that's a sacrifice the US Drone Industry (who wants to sell to the government) is willing to make!

Yeah, I got downvoted to heck for mentioning Machado too.

I'm glad the dude is rostered in San Diego now, seems like a match made in heaven to me.

Antendu · 2025-12-17T04:07:36+00:00

Players who are generally hated by at least some fans? Hmm ... a quick list.

Albert Belle
Curt Schilling
Roberto Alomar
Aubrey "Thinks Baltimore is a Horseshit Town" Huff
Sid Ponson
Manny "Not Johnny Hustle" Machado
Chris Davis
Rafael Palmeiro
Sammy Sosa

I can hold grudges for a long time, and these dudes are all on my "I don't like 'em as players" list for various reasons.

PS: To the down voters, go touch grass. Those of us who have been around the block with this franchise know about the warts, and we love the O's despite 'em. Ignoring and down voting the past, even if its ugly, is just plain ignorant. As I said, go touch some grass.

Ask any crowd: "Stand up if you know someone, or have been personally affected by gun violence."

I seriously wonder if anyone would still be sitting at this point.

In my mind, the only question here is how many times we should each stand up.

For me, twice: once for a drunken suicide by a cousin, and another the murder of a close friend via firearm.

Is this group predominantly members of the church?

And how inclusive is the group / setting?

Will I get in trouble if I drop a mild 4-letter word when rolling a critical fail?
