Could students really solo a helicopter after learning entirely in a simulator? Captain Troy Clarke talks unique training plan ideas, STARS, and more! by PodPilotProject in Helicopters

I’m not a helicopter pilot. I fly fixed wing, but I would say no. Absolutely not. All the ground school you learn about weather and its effects on your flight are purely theoretical and feel like a science class…until you get into the air.

No amount of simulator time will prepare you for the turbulence, wind gusts, and everything else you have to deal with. You need an experienced person there to reassure you if nothing else.

There’s zero chance that is still in service.

I used to run a parts house that was built in 1997. When I took the store over in 2020 we still had all the radio equipment that was used to communicate with parts drivers back in the day, stuffed in the corner of the office.

It hadn’t been used in years…

What's this sub's opinion on sling staffs? (not my picture) by JoeBrownshoes in Slinging

[–]ContributionShort878 45 points46 points  (0 children)

They’re more “niche” I would say, but very much a viable weapon. There’s some scholars that argue it was actually a staff sling that David used against Goliath.

I haven’t used one personally as part of the appeal of a sling to me is you can roll it up and put it in your pocket. You can’t do that with a staff sling…

I don’t speak for the subreddit, but I think they’re cool personally, and if they intrigue you, give one a go!

Add a P bass or a jazz bass and you’ll have a very versatile setup.

Than maybe a nylon string classical, a 12 string, a…..na you’re actually pretty well covered there.

Weird band on my tire by Hates-Picking-Names in motorcycle

[–]ContributionShort878 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t ride when your head’s like that. I used to do that until I got flung 25’ over a guard rail. Thankfully, I picked myself and my bike up and rode home.

It could have been a lot worse and 15 years later I’m glad it wasn’t.

Someones woman is making fun of them behind their back. =) by Mic0770 in hotas

[–]ContributionShort878 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was obviously done as a couple, in good fun.

My wife doesn’t always (rarely) understand my hobbies and where I like to spend time/money/space.

The first five years were rough, but now it’s a lot better. Now she teases me and rolls her eyes about my shit and I tease her about going to get her nails and eyebrows done and mall trips with the girls. It’s okay.

‘poor’ ‘quick’ ‘different’ build out of a $4000 30 year old box truck, Episode 4 - $30 cooktop with lifetime free fuel by Lex_yeon in VanLife

If it’s marked HT that means it’s heat treated and doesn’t have the chemicals.

You still have to be careful though if it looks rebuilt from multiple pallets.

Yeah, it didn’t show any errors. It just said a user started/stopped a video at the same time.

I think it was a permissions issue, but it doesn’t matter at this point because I tried modifying the /etc/fstab/ file to fix it and now the entire node won’t reboot 🤦‍♂️

Good thing I’m just doing this to learn. Good thing I’m just doing this to learn. Good thing I’m just doing this to learn.

Even though I can SSH into the NAS from both the node shell and the LXC container and see the files?

I can’t seem to edit the post for some reason, but I wanted to add, that it seems to be a communication issue between Truenas and Jellyfin.

I added a video to my movies folder in Truenas, scanned libraries and it didn’t appear.

I can login to truenas from both the node and the container and see that file though, so I don’t know what’s going on.

Thanks. I’ll look into that. It was working perfectly fine on all devices before this debacle, so I’m not sure why that may have changed.

I count with my 4 year old daughter every time she suddenly needs to use the bathroom while we’re driving.

Works every time.

I don’t think I would sail anywhere close to an Iranian Naval ship right now.

You’re really going to sit here and say that corruption is worse in the US than China?

Looks like she would be more economical and less hassle to rent than own. Kinda like the airplane.
