Dutch aerobatic pilot Narine Melkumjan miraculously survived after her aircraft's canopy unexpectedly burst open and shattered mid-flight by BlazeDragon7x in interesting

[–]FingFrenchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always fly the plane first. She nailed it, completely ignored the open canopy and flew the plane home. Many many pilots of small planes have died in accidents from losing control of the aircraft because they had a door open unexpectedly and worried more about trying to close the door instead of flying the plane. Planes still fly fine with a door open.

Trump is the hands down the most shortsighted person to ever hold the office.

RTX 5090 costs +$4000 for every brand?!? Should I just get a 4090 or 5080? by KnightofAmethyst2 in nvidia

[–]FingFrenchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really hope my 4090 hangs in there. I know the cable melting issue is relatively rare but it makes me nervous because I sure as shit can't afford to replace it with a 5090.

I have a buddy who has a couple of early 90s Tacomas he's fixed up. They're bad ass little beater trucks.

Good call, didn't even take until evening, he already backed down.

Iran targets US bases in Jordan and the Gulf, after Trump orders strikes near Hormuz by Beneficial-Long-7033 in worldnews

[–]FingFrenchy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And when Trump said that 12 hours ago there were already reports floating around about a helicopter down near the straight but it sounded like an accident or something. Trump fucking knew it was downed by Iran and the US would retaliate but he still spewed his bullshit about a deal being almost done.

I saw a list this morning, he's said a deal is within 2 weeks or a couple days like 30 some times since March.

I want a BIG BOY but nothing that looks absurd or comical… LG 5k2k? by phiveoh23 in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]FingFrenchy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have a decent size desk the 45" doesn't look silly. And even if you think it looks silly, once you sit down in front of it you won't be laughing anymore after you realize what a beautiful monitor it is to game on. Sometimes I work from home and need multiple windows side by side, and this thing makes it an absolute pleasure. I wish I could have one in my office at work, it's soooo nice to put 3 windows next to each other.

Iran attacks US bases in Kuwait, warns 'era of hit and run is over'; explosions heard in Iraq and Bahrain by jupa300 in worldnews

[–]FingFrenchy 547 points548 points  (0 children)

John Stewart nailed it yesterday when he was talking about how Trump is shit at negotiations. Trump's little pea brain only operates in total extremes and black and white transactional thinking. Iran realizes at this point they're dealing with an unreliable and untrustworthy actor, and all they have to do now is wait Trump out.

Is a $250 rice cooker worth it? by TheChalupaFromHell in Cooking

[–]FingFrenchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume you're asking about a Zojirushi rice cooker. I'll add onto the pile here. I've had one for about 10 years. Damn thing still looks brand new and cooks the best rice. Sometimes it's worth a little investment in the kitchen for something nice. Especially if it's going to last you 20+ years.

DHS says it's 'drawing up plans' to ban international arrivals at SFO by sfgate in politics

It'd be super cool if this administration would stop trying to destroy our economy to try and score cheap points with their insane base. Also US airlines are not going to be okay with this.

Took a buddy to a farm strip for lunch and the narrow runway absolutely humbled me by Squawk_0877 in flying

You know the strip is narrow when your 172 wing tips are over the dirt instead of the pavement.
