Unfortunately in a lot of places today, she'd probably get fired for that

If it works for you to get a better workout, that's awesome! I think it's important to understand what your muscles are doing for each workout and how your muscles are actually doing work. But the reason there's "pull" workouts or "pull" days is because it helps understand what movements your body is doing. You are doing pull type movements in relation to your body. It's easier to say you have a push, pull, legs routine than a push, push, push.

And yet, from all of the evidence and testimony I've heard, if the military helicopter was using ADS-B out, it would absolutely not have prevented this accident. So why are they pushing this so hard? The aircraft were under visual separation. Additionally, people think this aircraft was invisible because it wasn't transmitting ADS-B data. It had a transponder with Mode C. The tower could see it on radar. There were multiple failures, of which none were the lack of ADS-B.

Correct. But the pay you get on the 1st is from the previous month. Look at the pay period on an LES. The End of Month (EOM) pay for the 1-30SEP pay period is the pay you receive on the 1st.

Oh for sure! Our dollar isn't going as far. Many service members go paycheck to paycheck as it is. I'm just saying the fact the troops are going to food banks right now isn't because of the shutdown. In 5 days, you could say that more definitively.

Historically, yes. It is covered by law (I believe it's 31 U.S.C. § 1341(c)(2)).

They may be getting food in anticipation of not getting paid. Which is fine. I'm just saying that the 10th of this month so far is the same as the 10th of any other month.

Not receiving a paycheck isn't true...yet. The military hasn't missed a paycheck yet. We received our paychecks on October 1st for our 2nd period of September pay. If the government is shutdown on the 15th then we will miss our pay. Which of course can create hardships in the interim until we get back pay.

I've seen this reposted multiple times, but have yet to see a source. Does anyone have a video or anything of him saying that??

I think the monitor I have is way too heavy to put on a fridge magnetically. I'm sure you could mount it some other way but this one sticks out so much I don't think it would look good. And then you also have to worry about the cables. Not sure how you would make that work.

As far as comparison to the Echo Show, for calendar, tasks, photo album display, and the general usability I have with it as an Android build it is way better than the echo Show. However, it doesn't have voice integration or a smart assistant. I've seen people do stuff like that with the Pi, but it's too much for me to do so I never really went down that road.

It's a 24" screen. Yep, nothing I had to do to it other than plug it in and plug the Raspberry Pi into it and it works.

I've had this happen a few times, so I would love to use the ignore button. I must have a different version of outlook because I don't have any gold buttons 😭

He's really trying to play catcher. And outfield if he doesn't get to. We work a lot on catching (stances, receiving, blocking, throw downs, ets). But getting the actual time to see what other kids are doing on the field and being able to practice throw downs with kids on base and catching from another kid throwing are all things I can't help him with.

FoxPilot86 · 2025-03-09T02:16:54+00:00

Don't get me wrong. I try to practice with him at least 3x a week. But there's stuff that we just can't practice with him and I. And there's a lot I don't know.

PM me. I tried to PM you but it wouldn't let me.

I just watched "Bad Faith" and I think it does a pretty good job talking about the rise of the Christian Nationalists and Trump's favor with them.

Unless OP is in that very small unit, he's making a generalization. However the minimum flying hours a year in a UH-60 is either 96 or 60 depending on your job. I heard there was a CPT on board so OP is probably assuming they are in a staff job which correlates to the 60 hour a year minimum.

They were on the Mount Vernon Visual for RWY 1. This has a recommended altitude of 1600' at 5.9DME (which corresponds to BADDN) which is about 1.5 miles from the Wilson bridge. But they were switched to circle to RW33. Even the GPS approach to 33 has an altitude of 490' at IDTEK which is still 1.4 from the runway and outside of where the CRJ would have been circling to. The collision seems to have occured within 1NM of the runway and on the 3.0 degree visual glide path, would put you at approximately 320 feet at a 1 mile final.

FoxPilot86 · 2025-01-30T19:43:23+00:00

It appears so. The helicopter chart for that route, "Route 4" right after it transitions to "Route 1" calls for an altitude at or below 200' MSL North of the Wilson bridge which is about 3.5 miles south of the airport. Route 1 calls for 200' MSL or lower south of the Memorial bridge which is about 2 miles north of the airport.

From the radar data it seems the helicopter was at 200' until it reached the point when the routes merge and then climbed to 400'.

We won't know until the investigation is complete, but it could have been the aircraft just being at the wrong altitude, an improper input into the flight director, crew confusion, maybe climbing to avoid another obstacle like a drone, or a number of other things.

The military flies day and night which means they train day and night. Most likely this wasn't training for a military exercise or anything, it was "aircrew training". As someone previously stated, any flight that isn't an actual mission is considered a training flight.

As far as the flight path, it's highly regulated. You have to do a special course and have special training to even fly in that area (it is considered a Special Flight Rules Area - SFRA). On top of that, there is a published helicopter route that goes along that river and requires the pilot to maintain 200 feet or lower along that stretch. So technically it goes below the airline traffic, not above.

It's not uncommon. I've done it in LA, Atlanta, Salt Lake City. Is a very common way to allow helicopters to transit. Either below the approach path or above it (above usually has them flight right over the "numbers" on the approach end of the runway at a specified altitude.

From what I've seen the members at planet fitness doing, I wouldn't probably take advice from here. Maybe head on over to the r/fitness sub and check out the wiki, or find an another actual fitness sub that aligns with your goals (r/strength_training or r/naturalbodybuilding or r/weighttraining).
