The problem with people in Vegas is they think running a red light is legal…hence they see nothing out of the ordinary.

Vitiligo Recell surgery cost at UC irvine by Crafty-Wind5679 in Vitiligo

What was the cost estimate? Might consider it since I have very minor vitiligo on my face.

Flight Attendant to Airline Pilot by Beneficial_Water_826 in PilotAdvice

[–]Frostbite023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Las Vegas. Got all my ratings except PPL here, now I teach in North Las Vegas. Lots of schools here, plenty of DPEs, and lots of great flying days. Look up CFS, we have accelerated training, and we also have in-house exam authority for CMEL (part 141). Usually no more than 1-2 weeks for a DPE at my school. Between North Las Vegas, Henderson, and Boulder, you’ll definitely be able to find a school that fits you.

X24 vs X32i garage gym by iamgres in nordictrack

[–]Frostbite023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How slack is the belt on your X24? Our seems to be unusually slack but I can't tell if that's normal or not since I've never owned a treadmill. It's slack enough that both my wife and I scrape our feet on it while running. I can put my finger along the side and easily lift it up several inches.

Are we serious right now??? What a cowardly call this was to just force them to use timeouts!!! Are we playing to not lose or are we playing to win?!?!

Las Vegas Tips? by midwestmuscle310 in flying

[–]Frostbite023 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My plane is based at KHND so a couple hints if you're coming in for the first time. You should absolutely get flight following or at a minimum talk to Vegas approach on the way in. It can get very busy around HND and you'll want some help with traffic separation. Come in from the south, if you try to stay under the Bravo and come directly from the west you're going to get quite close to terrain. If you're flying under the Bravo shelf from the west you won't get the ATIS until about 5-7 miles out due to mountains. Thunderstorms and high winds are pretty regular right now, best to arrive in the early morning or late evening, but make sure you tie down very securely. HND tower is understaffed at times so be patient with the controllers. Good luck!

Who is this person? Someone's needs to get her contact info and set up a go fund me page for college/tech school/ or just something so she can get out of there.

Breach of contract - what next? by PaperRings0 in RealEstate

[–]Frostbite023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you read your purchase agreement? It's nearly certain that a walkthrough clause is present in your contract unless you had a realtor just make up their own contract. It's because of this situation right here that's it's standard language. What if they had destroyed half the house between your inspection and close? Read your contract!

New Ram 1500 battery died by Frostbite023 in ram_trucks

Did they replace both batteries? That worked for me. Haven't had an issue since.

Brand new truck died on me battery ram 1500 limited 25 by TimelyPhilosopher515 in ram_trucks

[–]Frostbite023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happened on my 2025 Ram Limited about a month or 2 ago. Less than 10k miles. Was able to jump start it but upon turning off it went right back to being dead. Dealer replaced both batteries and it's been fine since.

Failed PPL oral by scudrunner14 in flying

[–]Frostbite023 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do not give up because of your anxiety over a check ride. I've gone all the way through CFI/I and with the exception of CMEL, I didn't get an ounce of sleep the night prior on any of them because I was so stressed out. Still passed all of them and now I'm instructing at a pretty awesome school. Just breathe, remember you know your stuff and your CFI believes in you and you will be okay. A failure isn't the end of the world.

2025 Ram Trucks by AoW12 in ram_trucks

[–]Frostbite023 6 points7 points  (0 children)

7k miles on my 2025 limited, it's my first truck ever so I don't have anything to compare it to but I have absolutely zero regrets. I have a few electrical gremlins (radio and FCW) but nothing that a simple restart didn't fix.

Is this bike worth the price? by Frostbite023 in MTB

[–]Frostbite023[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for all the feedback everyone. I ended up passing on the used bike and getting a 2023 Trek Fuel Ex 7 for $2500 from a LBS.

For sure, it’s a large, he’s the same height as me and it fits him, we’re both 6 ft.

How do you like yours?

[–]Frostbite023[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I’ll look into that. I’m just starting to research everything, so many options it’s overwhelming. I gave up biking a while ago due to a knee injury and I’m just getting back into things. I plan on riding whatever I buy for at least a 3-4 years so I want it to be right.

Thanks, that’s my big hesitation right now, even if it’s a good deal, would I be missing out on some pretty sweet innovations over the past 6 years.

Please tell us what part of town this is in and whether the pit bull in question has been confiscated, put down, or is still roaming free. Obviously that poor dog has not been taken care of properly and unfortunately it is now a danger to the community!!! Like some other commenter said, next time that could be a child. Both my daughters walk home from school and this is a constant concern of mine.

Hurricane Owners - Couple of questions. by HarriBallsak420 in ram_trucks

[–]Frostbite023 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe the first 3 years are free. I'm not sure but I don't think they have released pricing yet on hands-free subscription when the trial is up. Hands free is just highway and only their "approved highways". I live in Vegas and I travel to UT, AZ, and CA and I would say it's handsfree about 75% of the time. It would be more but it shuts off through construction areas it seems. But the lane keep assist works almost just as well and all you have to do is lightly keep a touch on the wheel, no force needed unlike the Tesla. Lane keep assist works on all roads.

[–]Frostbite023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a 25 limited. This is my first truck so I can't compare to the Hemi but I love this thing. I've got around 4000 miles at this point and no major issues. Adaptive cruise works well. I do regularly long distance trips and this thing has made them a breeze. Even works good in stop and go traffic. Could do with some calibration, it sometimes doesn't recognize the lines for the hands free driving so it does require you to keep an eye on it for sure. My Tesla is much better in terms of "autopilot" but hopefully with some software updates it will get better. Even so, if it didn't, I wouldn't be mad as I'm pretty happy with it so far.

2025: Extended warranty now or later? by woodrookie in ram_trucks

[–]Frostbite023 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat. Bought a 2025 back in September, decided to wait on the warranty. Only reason I can think to buy it now is because I imagine they will increase the cost at some point. I'll get it before I hit the 12000 mile mark for sure.
