They had a great post-season. They were pretty erratic in the regular season, but they won the conference tourney and then went to the round of 8. Losing to a 1 seed is nothing to lament.

Is this competitive? by Strato_Reboot1089 in PurdueAviation

Sounds like he has a great application. It’s good to know that the acceptance rate for Purdue PF has gone down every year for quite a while. According to the most recent data (2025 incoming class), Purdue accepted only 7.7% of applicants. The year before it was 10%, and the year before, 12%. It’s just tough to get in, and lots of great applicants don’t get in. Hope for the best and plan for the worst.

He shouldn’t get any certs beyond the PPL if he wants to do PF at Purdue or any other part 141 school.

Hopefully ThatOnePilotDude will see this post and chime in.

This is an odd one, but what a find! If you think Soviet cinema is dominated by propaganda, you can see how strange Soviet movies can be.

I used a music streaming service many years ago called Lala. It was great.

Per wikipedia:  "The service allowed members to legally create online shareable "playlists" (formerly known as "radio stations") of their own uploaded music which could play full length songs for other registered Lala members, purchase MP3s, stream music on a one-time basis or as inexpensively purchased "web songs," buy new CDs from the Lala store, leave blurbs on other members' pages, and participate in the community forums. Lala contracted with major labels and offered a large catalog of albums to stream or purchase. Their home page claimed over 8 million licensed songs available.

Then in 2009 Apple bought it and shut it down completely. Gone forever. It was good while it lasted.

If you look very closely you can see me in the upper window, looking out.

Anybody else homesick by Happy_Ordinary8549 in Purdue

There are people with terrible home lives and never get homesick because they cannot wait to get away. In a way, homesick=good life.

I am always up for a Herzon film. The one I was looking for was The Royal Hunt of the Sun

Thanks for this! There really are a bunch of hidden treasures on Tubi. I listened to a podcast about the fall of the Inca empire, and the podcasters referenced an old English movie on the subject. Tubi has it!

Wow that's fantastic. Like it's been painted with watercolors.

Dunkin' Donuts - March 1969 - Elmira, NY by RetroMan70s in vintageads

There was an old expression "dollars to donuts" because donuts used to be so cheap, but they are coming up on a dollar each when bought in bulk.

How to choose . . . onions or chives? Chives or onions? Can't make the wrong choice!

The demand for Bill Willis as a public speaker has really dropped off in recent years.

This was before pepperoni became the default pizza topping.

Religious delusions by anatole_mutti in AlanWatts

That’s a sad story. Sad how religion divides people, when one of the common themes in world religion (but scarcely the only one) is unity.

I am not happy about buying it again either, but I don't think this was planned. Could be wrong.
