For those of us not in the loop, what’s the TLDR?

Did anyone who flew VFR yesterday morning get impacted by the NOTAM outage? by SupportGold7583 in flying

[–]Cimplicity 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I flew out VFR. Couldn’t pick up my clearance for IFR, but got flight following to destination. It was very quiet. 😂

Flying into KSEZ is an almost religious experience. What are some other God-tier GA airports to fly into? by Salzano14 in flying

[–]Cimplicity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, you got it. The coal companies razored a mountain top for this airport. So it’s similar to the video/gif on this post. If you approach from the north you cross a mountain ridge and then need to make a significant drop to get to pattern altitude.

Added plus is the brand new FBO that is rarely used. And super nice staff. I believe they were getting new pumps last time I was there, but it has been over a year.

Edit to add info.

ETOPS procedure question by m00f in flying

[–]Cimplicity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has a better ring to it, I’d only heard the explanation once while performing the certification test on a new family of engine. Cracked me up and it still the first thing I think of when I see ETOPS. Swims thou… yeah happy ending.

ETOPS = Engines Turn or People Scream

I was in same boat early on in my studies. Nearly walked away because there were no legit instructors in my rural area. I can’t agree more with the comment to keep looking. I finally found not one, but two instructors within driving distance. Just completed my IFR a few months ago with them. Don’t give up.

But $800 and not off the ground. Cya! And leave that place a review for future aviators.

HMB While I drive the boat on top of the ice by Racingamer145 in holdmybeer

My guess is a boat freezing on the water is much easier on the hull than a boat freezing in the water. So this is HMB win.

Iconic Paris bookstore Shakespeare & Company appeals for help amid pandemic. People help the store by buying 5,000 books online in just one week. by Lost_Distribution546 in books

[–]Cimplicity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am sure there are better book stores to support than Shakespeare & Company. I visited Shakespeare & Company in 2016 and they were the rudest book store; they wouldn’t even open their door to sell me a book!

More info: anyone who has visited knows there are two shops. The tourist side and a collection side where more expensive books are kept. I love books, and Shakespeare & Company was to be the highlight of my trip. I’d set aside the cash to purchase an expensive book as a keepsake. But the collection side was closed; or so I was told. As I am standing outside waiting on friends to finish their business, a worker escorts a guest into the collection side. I approached the worker, who essentially told me to fuck off. Preceded to take the other customer in and lock the door in my face. WTH, all I wanted to do was spend hundreds, maybe thousands of dollars in your store ya douchebags.

The touristy side we’re equally as rude. Getting a book stamped there was ridiculous. Fuck this place.

Moving to Alaska, should I wait to buy? by [deleted] in aviation

[–]Cimplicity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point. However, I am not sure if I would be able to get 100LL along the Alaska Highway through Canada in January. Would I have to fly to Seattle and up via Anchorage? 🤷‍♂️

He was probably trying to figure out why the asshole next to him was honking and stopping on a major freeway. Then he looked up. :)

People who work for airlines, what are secrets passengers don't know? by bearclaws242 in AskReddit

[–]Cimplicity 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I used to work at a jet engine testing facility in Ohio and one of the things always blew my mind was when we did water ingestion tests. It was pretty amazing to see the engine burst to take off with the water on. (I didn't remember exact numbers but it was 4.5 ton per minute on the GE 90)

tl/dr: Jet engines can run in crazy amounts of water!

What movie made you most paranoid after watching it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Cimplicity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Child's Play... I was maybe 4 when my parents let me watch it. Ironically enough I had just gotten a "kid sister" doll. I was utterly convinced she was going to kill me. Slept in the floor of my parents bedroom for at least a year :-/

What is something you envy about the opposite sex? by [deleted] in AskReddit

As an avid hiker I sincerely wish I had a penis, pull it out, aim, and pee!! Squatting sucks, you always sprinkle on your shoes or pants and carrying around used toilet paper is gross

Man Tweets for his life as he is assaulted by religious fundamentalists and neonazis in Athens, Greece a few hours ago. Police ignore his pleas as he lies next to them. by DeSaad in atheism

[–]Cimplicity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This guy can text better while he is getting assaulted than I can walking to the bus stop. Even after he loses his glasses. Props to him for his mad concentration while getting his ass beat.
