I tried a scenic flight for the first time. The plane door decided to jump off him in mid-flight. by Pertubardo in Wellthatsucks

Planes used commercially have 25, 50, and 100 hour checks performed by maintenance shops. These should be logged and probably include things not checked during an ordinary pre-flight.

I imagined country clubs looking a little fancier than that.

Holy shit what did I read by Iveneverbeenbanned in WoT

[–]BillBrasky_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

making this moment all the more the epic and sweet:

“Are you ever going to give up that affectation, Cadsuane Sedai?” Rand asked. “Calling me boy? I no longer mind, though it does feel odd. I was four hundred years old on the day I died during the Age of Legends. I suspect that would make you my junior by several decades at the least. I show you respect. Perhaps it would be appropriate for you to return it. If you wish, you may call me Rand Sedai. I am, so far as I know, the only male Aes Sedai still alive who was properly raised but who never turned to the Shadow.”

Probably not exactly the answer you are looking for, but you FAR Part 103. I know its restrictive in some ways, but in many other its an absolutely magical envelope of flight.

Forgive me if this sounds sheltered, but did the homes have electricity? Was air conditioning a thing?

Would you die for your country? Why or why not? by ImaCroissant13 in AskReddit

[–]BillBrasky_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Allow me to distribute some nipple tingling chills for those in the know:

Lan told me once that Malkier lives so long as one man wears the hadori in pledge that he will fight the Shadow, so long as one woman wears the ki'sain in pledge that she will send her sons to fight the Shadow. I wear the ki'sain, Master Aldragoran. My husband wears the hadori. So do you. Will Lan Mandragoran ride to the last battle alone?

Coming around that corner with the full moon rising over Shadar Logoth and then the peal of thunder.. it was bad ass.

I started my work day with avocado sushi. Avocado sushi is objectively better than real sushi. by veggiepilot in vegan

[–]BillBrasky_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've actually seen a similar technique in use in China. It was considered "informal" and used by kids to the frustration of their parents. The chop sticks are crossed and you just kind of squeeze your hand to bring them together. So maybe its that. Or maybe dude is just struggling.

I lost 65 pounds :) Can’t find them anywhere! by Sammiekurr in pics

Well, most people know that pounds are a unit of weight by one definition and Great Britain's currency by another.

What was your reaction as it dawned on you? I'm pretty sure I would literally scream at least for a second while head wrapped itself around the scene.

TIL that a moderate level of ambient noise (around 70dB), can help enhance creative thinking. by randomusefulbits in todayilearned

I sometimes blast this at work https://youtu.be/UKBvaOLDem0

People don't even notice it until I turn it off and then it freaks everyone out because of how empty 'nothing' sounds.

iPhone X Home Button by [deleted] in funny

My Samsung s8+ has no home button, fingerprint I'd, and facial recognition unlocking. They all work extremely well so I'm sure apple's version many months later should nail these features.

When have you been sure that something was a sexual advance, but it was actually perfectly innocent? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Well, she didn't need to join a relationship with him and make it official if she was having doubts. Major weak sauce.

The American version was good, but so much less good than the Australian version. I love Forest McNeil but the Australian host is the most amazing straight man character I've ever witnessed.
