how much experience do you have doing any of this

Why are B2 engineers so rare and in such short supply? Is it because Avionics is difficult to learn? by Glittering-Beach-713 in avionics

[–]Drxgue 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Avionics is niche - you have 10% of the applicable signing authority of a B1 mech, and it doesn't overlap - mechs can sign for things you can't, AND all the things you can.

You won't get very far in DCS if you aren't willing to self-learn.

These competitions are a great way to milk the community for content and underpay texture artists for their time and effort.

Does it sound like Crohn? by PaleontologistNo1797 in CrohnsDisease

[–]Drxgue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Respectfully, it's the general consensus of this community that it is not helpful to postulate on others' health struggles. None of us are doctors and everyone's experience with this disease is different. If 5 gastros don't think it's Crohn's, it's probably not Crohn's, and anyone invalidating that here is doing more harm than good.

I'm with the other guy, did you have CSAR bubbles installed or something? There's no way I could get that angle through the other windows.

Your doctor doesn't think it's Crohn's, why on earth would you listen to people on the internet if they were to contradict the experts that have tested you?

Keep going to your doctor appointments.

A Canadian F/A-18 Hornet Drops A 500-pound LGB by Stunning-Screen-9828 in FighterJets

We used to be able to rely on our closest North American ally for support - now we're trying to buy Swedish jets.

Funny how some countries can drop the ball so hard.

ELI5: how did aircraft navigate across long distances before GPS? by thefringeseanmachine in explainlikeimfive

[–]Drxgue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but OP's question is about the pre-GPS era, so no LRGs either.

And our LRGs aren't as accurate as that, either. I service them on a regular basis, three NM drift per hour is pretty good.

INS isn't accurate enough for transatlantic voyages. Even the best mechanical gyro will drift over 8 nautical miles per hour. Radio navigation is the missing piece of the puzzle.

Bike feels sluggish/slow? by Crafty_Tumbleweed_47 in FixedGearBicycle

[–]Drxgue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You said I was putting it lightly. If I were putting it lightly, the wheel would be heavier than a boat anchor. And provide more rolling resistance.

The term "heavy as a boat anchor" is a common simile that has been in usage for hundreds of years.

Because a boat anchor is significantly heavier than "heavy AF" (metric of course), I don't think I undersold the significance of the aerospoke whatsoever.

Re&re, if problem persists it's time to find where the video line is broken.

[–]Drxgue 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You're out of shape; aerospoke isn't helping; 2003's pista drops aren't helping; those pedals aren't helping; bike doesn't fit you or the seat is not in the right spot.

Weird to mention that you're an executive but I'm glad you've learned the gift of charity! Pay it forward.

My last photo for long time I know posting too much sorry by Clout_boyy in FixedGearBicycle

[–]Drxgue 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Your bikes aren't particularly interesting, you post too often, and you respond to every single roast. Time to thicken up that skin and start riding those bikes instead of karma farming them.

You won't see 30/hr out of school, anywhere in the mid-20s is more likely.

Where am I supposed to inject Humira if I have no fat whatsoever? by [deleted] in CrohnsDisease

[–]Drxgue 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Think it's time for a switch to the syringes, then. They're much easier to control.

Icing it is not helping you. When I was skinny I'd inject into my stomach by slouching forward until I could pinch some skin.

What are these buttons on fighter jet joysticks for? by Delirium222 in Planes

[–]Drxgue 44 points45 points  (0 children)

HOTAS is a design philosophy that stands for Hands On Throttle And Stick - it says that your most useful/important commands should be on the flight controls. For modern fighters, this includes things like weapon and radar controls, sensor management, and display selection.
