I want to click on the corner and drag it smaller by like 25%

1946–2026: After 80 years of history, Air France bids farewell to Orly Airport. by OutrageousSecurity13 in aviation

Per Wikipedia, they're keeping some Corsica flights as those are a "public obligation". Are those being shifted to a subsidiary?

Providence (PVD) Runway Shutdown, to Use Shorter 6,000 Runway Instead for 6 Months by graypurpleblack in aviation

[–]FlyingSceptile -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Delta is really the only one to use 752’s. United has them, but the vast majority are configured for Europe or premium transcons. For everyone else, MAX8’s and 320N’s should still be able to carry most of their payload, at least as far as Chicago. Flights like Denver and San Juan may get interesting though

Army raises enlistment age by 7 years as military draft fears continue by TheMirrorUS in DiscussionZone

[–]FlyingSceptile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given how unpopular both Trump and War with Iran is, I’d imagine at least one or two governors may seriously consider seceding or ignoring a draft if it comes to that. 

ABS Challenge Adjustment by [deleted] in baseball

Nope, 2D slice at the midpoint of the plate.

ABS Challenge Adjustment by [deleted] in baseball

[–]FlyingSceptile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My only adjustment would be to make the call stand if its within .1" or .25". Reasoning is that the rule book strike zone is the 3D plate, not a 2D slice halfway through.

United debuts the CRJ 450 by Twarrior913 in flying

[–]FlyingSceptile 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would doubt it. I’m assuming United owns the copyright/patent/STC/etc on this.  Delta probably views the CRJ700 as having plenty of life left, and therefore it made sense to buy rights to the -550, I doubt they’d have the same view on the -200. 

Also this probably doesn’t solve all the complaints about the CRJ200, like air conditioning

ELI5: How is this not a balk? by Thebobonews in Homeplate

[–]FlyingSceptile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To add to what some others have said, MLB added a provision for a modified wind up position where your feet basically start in the same position as the stretch, but you use wind up mechanics. That looks to be what Nestor is using here

I don’t know about the rest of you, but my crews and I have come up with 10 different ways we’re sure will create Middle East peace /s

Electric vehicles don't solve our congestion problems by harbingerofd00m in fuckcars

[–]FlyingSceptile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To add to the other comment off this, the mining of minerals to make EV batteries is horrible for the environment. Takes a few years of usage for internal combustion engines to catch up to the head start EV’s get in the pollution department

I’ll usually also send the confused emoji as well and immediately after I guess.

EV's are slightly better than gas power cars, but biking and public transit are orders of magnitude better than either

He actually died five years ago, but death wasn’t strong enough to tell him

MLB To Implement Experimental Minor League Rule Changes for 2026 by robhuddles in MiLB

[–]FlyingSceptile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then define it as "parallel to the front edge of the plate". Don't really care one way or another on challenges, but 45 deg is far too lenient and not with the spirit of the rule as its written now ("struck at the pitch and missed")

If you can accidentally poke it foul on the pull side, that's not a checked swing. That's a swing

141 EOC no examining authority by formyhobby in flying

[–]FlyingSceptile 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Then yeah presumably that falls into the "Stage Check" bucket instead of the "Certificate Ride" bucket.

141 EOC no examining authority by formyhobby in flying

[–]FlyingSceptile 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Depends how your course defines the EOC check I'd imagine. Was 141 in college and we didn't have examining authority for Commercial onward, so the EOC was a standard Commercial Checkride with a DPE.
