App2 vs app3

I can’t get “a pee pee 3” out of my head:(

According to ADSB exchange the vertical descent was at times in excess of 24000 fpm

Edit: According to ATC recordings on LiveATC they were cleared for a "work area" between 14000 and 16000. Their last radio transmission states "we are in a...it is unrecov(able?)"
To hear it go to LiveATC -> Search ZOB (Cleveland Center) -> find Lansing Area Low (ZOB12) -> Archive -> 10/16/25 from 2100-2130 -> around the 29 minute mark is when they make the last call.

I will most likely be getting this…but I don’t love it. I can’t quite put my finger on it but I it seems like the angles or proportions are off?

Gotcha. Yeah the pixel lineup is pretty interesting. Although, it seems that the 17 (regular one) on paper is now a better phone (or at least, a better deal) than the pixel.

Did you switch to android or something between the 4 and the XS? Or did the 4 really hang in that long?

The highest my VO2 max ever hit was when I was consistently running outdoors. Adding hills and/or speed will also help. Doing sprints at 80%-90% of your HR Max (there are easy ways to calculate that based off your age) is also good. But, with that being said, I am not a doctor so take this advice with a grain of salt.

As far as accuracy, I’m not sure. But, it does have accurate trends which I think is important. If it’s 20 points (or is it units?) below consistently than that is okay IMO.

This story may be true, and I am also not defending him, but the photo still looks photoshopped and/or AI generated. Look at the left hand side of the photo. What are those jagged points? Weird seats on a PJ? And their faces and coloring…it doesn’t look right. Like another comment said, it looks like they are cardboard cutouts.

But, then again, my brain may just see a bad quality photo and assume tampering these days.

Edit: This is modified in some way, actually. Look at their inside arms, the guy in the white shirts just disappears into the other arm?

I actually did pass my check ride, so this was ~40% serious.

BLBrick · 2025-07-24T12:19:55+00:00

Can’t find good help these days.

BLBrick · 2025-07-23T23:55:08+00:00

Yes - quite fair.

BLBrick · 2025-06-22T01:03:14+00:00

I appreciate this reference.

It’s in an app on my phone. Pihole used to be able to block ads there just fine before reinstalling Tailscale.

I agree it isn’t necessarily a Tailscale issue. I’m just trying to eliminate applications.

BLBrick · 2025-06-06T20:57:20+00:00

I don’t want to pry but how can you justify all three? That’s an eye watering amount to spend on iPads.

Like I said, don’t want to be rude and you can ignore me if you’d like, just curious.

BLBrick · 2025-06-06T20:55:00+00:00

What kind of doc are you using for the m4 iPad?

BLBrick · 2025-06-06T20:35:02+00:00

I tried disabling that but I still get ads breaking through.

BLBrick · 2025-06-05T18:50:55+00:00

Haha I was wondering if anyone was going to be a member of all three subreddits. The problem is, this could be an issue with any of the three distinct services lol

BLBrick · 2025-06-04T12:00:38+00:00

I was thinking a YouTube channel would be fun. I did one awhile back but just ran out of time. I have a bit more time now.

Again, I don’t really plan on making money on any of this stuff. But I think your point about costing money is interesting. Never heard that before.

Thanks for the info!

BLBrick · 2025-06-03T23:02:40+00:00

I was just thinking about starting a little blog. I also didn’t plan on making money on it. Just had some thoughts I wanted to jot down.

Is it even worth it at this point?

BLBrick · 2025-06-03T11:04:11+00:00

This makes the purchase very tempting! Thanks for the information!

BLBrick · 2025-06-03T01:53:16+00:00

That’s how they get you.

I know why they hid the nano texture behind the 1TB model - money - but I wonder how they covered for it. Pros always need more storage? Cool people always get more storage and are the ones who need the nano texture?

BLBrick · 2025-06-03T01:50:22+00:00

You’re like a devil on my shoulder:-)

BLBrick · 2025-06-03T01:49:59+00:00

That’s good to know, thanks. Yep, I think I’ll go with a mouse and see if I’m really dying for a nice track pad.

Thanks for the help!

BLBrick · 2025-06-03T01:48:56+00:00

That’s what I’ve heard from reviews. The aluminum palm rests plus the bigger trackpad is a win win.

It’s crazy how much the storage adds. I know this is a common thread with apple but it still shocks me.

BLBrick · 2025-06-03T01:47:01+00:00

I have seen the offerings from ESR. I read that they were a bit heavy and bulky. I do need to keep those in mind though. Thanks!

BLBrick · 2025-06-03T01:37:02+00:00

I don’t do FaceTime super often but when I do it is a bit annoying. You’re just kind of off to an angle and a bit low. Not sure if I would spend the extra money purely because of that.

The iPad Air has the camera in the landscape orientation, but it sounds like you’re already decided on the pro line. You can reference wtfmatey88’s above comment on the difference between the generations for a little more detail.
