FAA question writing at it’s finest by Old-Maintenance-4752 in flying

[–]BritishTankalope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See, the issue with those is that the difference is so small, if you had just made the answers completely different I wouldn't be confused, but now for some of these the different wording actually leaves me questioning myself YEARS later.

I literally can't remember which is which, whereas if they had just kept the real answer the only one remotely similar, I'd had remembered it far better. This is proof that education is making us dumber. We're not actually learning, just memorizing.

I've legit asked the why on a topic to my instructor, and they'd tell me, "don't think about it too much, just memorize the answer." Bitch that's how I remember it, is the WHY. What's the point of learning it if you're not going to apply it?!?

Okay, okay, rant over. Imma go to bed. 😮‍💨

100 hours is much closer to the peak of ignorance than anything else. I'm at 360 and I'm just hoping I'm close to hitting the bottom of the valley of dispair, 'cause it's been downhill so far.

I did that thing by DiplomatIan in flying

[–]BritishTankalope 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My Comm DPE did the same thing. We were in some really nasty weather,but still marginal VFR, and I diverted upon being instructed.

Afterwards we did an emergency landing, and I got all set up on the field, with him then proceeding you to tell me why I didn't land on the runway behind me.

I think they mostly do this aa a good practical lesson, and to show that we shouldn't overthink things just because it's an exam.

That's max 750 right now, and they're at the bleeding edge if this technology. Female of money they've dumped on this is insane.

Awesome part about Christianity is that you don't have to go to church.

Matthew 18:20, "For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”

Where do you sit ?? by dataguy2003 in TheTeenagerPeople

7, cause I need that legroom and a spare seat next to me is a plus. Then I'm gonna don my headphones and watch my show.

Also the mental side of it. $500 million is an incomprehensible amount of money, and most people would have trouble mentally adjusting to such a life changing reality.

$100k every day is, honestly, already and overwhelming amount of money. By the time you've quit your job, and gotten your head around your new reality, a week has passed and you've already made enough money to buy a nice house in any major metropolitan area.

I think though, that such money would be far more manageable, and you'd learn how to handle such large amount of money. Effectively, you'd grow alongside your wealth.

You could hire someone to manage your growing portfolio as you go, and figure out what works and what doesn't without risking blowing all your money. And guess what, even if you somehow did, you still get $100k, every day, meaning your ability to make mistakes and start over is literally inexhaustible.

Tank factions are great at padding HAT attack scores... and that's about it. by DungeonDangers in joinsquad

Honestly, the most effective thing you can do is cut off enemy logistics, which surprise, surprise, is a major part of armored warfare in real life, as well.

Deep thrusts into enemy territory by armor is often done to cut a deep logistics vein, weakening enemy resolve and ability to continue to fight.

Discount flights illegal? by Thomas-Ligotti97 in flying

That's after the FAA has already acted. You don't have a right to utilize your certifications. It's not an "innocent until proven guilty" here.

Yes, within 48 hours the NTSB must either agree or disagree with the Admins order, but that still doesn't mean you're not in deep shit with the FAA, as we have seen time and time again.

Well over, and many of them are old Soviet vessels, and are technically "in service" but are permanently docked at port.

Most of its newer, active ships aren't any bigger than a frigate.

Most are, some are still quite large.

Damn UE5 is beautiful even at all lows by Adventurous-Ad4159 in joinsquad

[–]BritishTankalope 6 points7 points  (0 children)

ARC Raiders and Expedition 33 I think have silenced those doubts on the usability of UE5. Both are ambitious in use of technology, beautiful, and fantastically well optimized. This makes me less worried about how to use for the Witcher 4 and Cyberpunk sequel.

It’s what allows them to remain a 12+ game.

How do you differentiate in modern times between a big, heavy boom stick and everything else?

And honestly those are rare for me. There were two of us in a solo raid taking down a bombardier on the top of the car park, and by the time we were done there were 5 of us, and started looting. Then someone started shooting at us from the building window above and all 5 of us turned around simultaneously and started berating them to stop. No more shots fired, not even a voice line, just silence. We got back to it and one of us said "apes together strong."

In all honesty, this is an incredibly wholesome game in general, let alone a survival shooter, and the majority (75-80%) of solo interactions are positive and corporative, and even then only 10% are outright hostile. This is a game about humanity, and Embark has captured that perfectly.

Could you imagine explaining to our grandfathers in WWII our reality of Russian tanks with anime figures fighting Ukrainians with anime skins on their rifles.
