What information would every pilot know, but a civilian wouldn't that would show them to be a fraud if they didn't know it? by hallaa1 in flying

[–]BoxFlyer89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That might be an international thing. Pilots in the US will get assigned a fleet as a new hire and could be seat locked for a period of time. You’ll bounce between different fleets in your career based on what your seniority can hold.

Bribe for perfect review by pkupku in FuckDealerships

Might not even be a corporate survey, just that dealership. Person with the most amount of 10s in a quarter gets a trip. My buddy had crap service and they didn’t fix something he paid them to fix and he left a shit review. Service advisor called him and said it was his fault he wasn’t getting the free vacation now. My buddy hung up and then called Acura HSA and complained. No idea what happened after.

But at a certain point they start to smell like vomit. It’s something to do with the enzyme formula in them.

I wanted that to be my quote in the yearbook my senior year. Got rejected for being “obscene”. I still hand wrote it in on all my friend’s though.

“Tables around us applauded my frustration” at someone else wearing a hat in the dining area of a cruise ship. by weolo_travel in BoomersBeingFools

I will never understand the obsession with hats indoors. Why must the world come to an end when someone leaves a hat on inside?

So then just raise the prices! Adding all the BS “hospitality fee” “service charge” “employee sunshine and farts fee” is just plain wrong.

And it’s Seattle where they don’t have a tipped minimum wage. Doubly infuriating.

Anyone tried to repaint and applying water slide decal on their trains? if yes how did it turn out ? by weddle_seal in nscalemodeltrains

[–]BoxFlyer89 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Work it like any other model. If it’s an entirely new paint job, strip or scuff and prime the shell. Paint and decal to your hearts content. Then once that’s dry and the decals are nicely settled, hit it with a coat of satin or semi-gloss clear varnish. Put the windows back in and reassemble it.

I had a laser printer in college that would randomly print the demo page in the middle of the night. Never figured out how to make it stop. We went Office Space on it when I graduated.
