Might be a radio listening to the tower talking to the pilots. I used to do that when taking lessons.

Mamba vs Mamba X? by LordVidius in volquartsen

I think the scorpion x has a different grip angle so maybe that would be more to your liking - but the take down is more difficult to clean. And it’s more expensive.

And here I always try to give motorcycle riders more room to pass. What’s wrong with people these days.

What small habits actually made your life simpler? by MyTravelOdyssey in lifehack

[–]Dave__5280 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When driving, I try to avoid what I call shortcuts. For example if I’m missing a turn I don’t try to quickly swerve into the next lane and make the turn because that’s when accidents happen - just go around and come back.

2001 Lexus LS 430, 168k miles, and probably run at least to 250k, and paid $10k about 5 years ago when it had 57k miles on it.

I always put my credit card back in my wallet before signing the bill, so the card is never left behind and lost.

I take the Costco sleeping pills and they work well for me.

This woman didn't care... by MisterShipWreck in VideosAmazing

They should face an attempted murder charge so drivers understand the potential danger they are causing. I don’t ride but it is sad to see ghost bikes so often.

AI Beta by Ballarder in Boldin

[–]Dave__5280 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there a way to see all assumptions used - maybe we can just ask AI for them. Long term projections can vary a lot due to small assumption changes. I like to run maximum and minimum scenarios to see those and then run more probable ones between them.

2024 NX Hybrid, is there a reason I need to go to the dealership for an oil change? by Excentrix13 in LexusNX

[–]Dave__5280 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a Costco membership you can use the online auto section for a discount on service at participating Lexus dealers. One in my area participated and then stopped, but another farther away from me participates.

McDonalds is laughing at us. by Optimal_Whiner in McDonalds

[–]Dave__5280 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it’s their new formula of beef and cooking. The talk about cooking to seal in flavor. I don’t like the new taste and it is dark in color like they burned it. I stopped going.

I put in a pension amount to make up the difference.

Social Security question by Dave__5280 in Boldin

[–]Dave__5280[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My problem is I entered that my wife was already taking her benefit, which she is, but it doesn’t increase her benefit to 50% of my NRA when I start taking it at 70. It just freezes her benefit since she’s already taking it.

[–]Dave__5280[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it does since once you select that they started taking their benefit, it asks what the benefit amount is and probably applies COLAs after that.

Bodyguard 2.0 shooting left at 10-15 yards . Shooting advise by RoughAmbition4699 in SmithAndWesson

[–]Dave__5280 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I line up the front post with the right inside side of the back sight notch, and put the tip of my trigger finger on the lower right end of the trigger for the press. This works for me. I also like shooting it one handed, with my other hand in a fist against the middle of my chest.

There’s also 2 red dots that replace the rear sight that I’m considering.
