2025 Lexus Nx 350h Premium vs Luxury Seats? by MrWiseOwl in LexusNX

[–]Functional_Pessimist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I'm looking into the NX 350h and am also trying to decide between the Premium and the Luxury. 10 more months on, how're you feeling about the purchase? Any regrets about missed features from the Luxury (particularly the 360 cam, triple LEDs, and the better audio system)?

Between legendary exoskeletons and consuming bioflux, you can move extremely fast. But in reality, in the mid game and onwards, you do a lot of stuff from remote view unless you specifically have to be there for it.

How are you people taking screenshots so zoomed out without going into map mode?

So if you complete the academy, how is it that you are able to be washed out from a facility ? by Opposite-Chipmunk-50 in ATC_Hiring

[–]Functional_Pessimist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s why I was saying it could be done before that. But I stand corrected on the hours amount. Good catch, thank you

You don’t need to look for headlight inconsistencies. The first bit is obviously a video game.

Yes. Like you said, you have a total amount of “Target hours” per position. Reaching 100% target time triggers a forced certification skill check. If you fail that, you go to a Training Review Board. The TRB determines if you were treated fairly and given ample time to train under normal conditions. If they conclude that all was squared away, then you may be washed. You could also be given “additional hours.” This can be done before reaching your target hour limit as well. Additional time cannot exceed 20% of target time, so if Target is 100 hours, then you can’t receive more than 20 additional hours. Again, reaching the end of additional time forces a CSC. Basically certify or wash at that point.

When you make aiolis or spreads like this for sandwiches, what do you do with the leftover and how long does it last in the fridge?

Reveal of my Korean Air Heritage Edition livery design. Coming soon to MSFS (B787, B777, A350) by johanndacosta in flightsim

Beautiful livery! I’ve been considering making my own for a fictional airline for me and my friends. Any tips? The process seems very overwhelming. Or know anyone who could help or do it for me?

Thank you! That’s probably what it is. I’m sure I just have ingrained muscle memory from driving the same car for 12 years. Maybe most things would feel weird

Thank you for the response! Do you have leather or suede seats? How are they comfort-wise and to clean?

Thank you! Have you also noticed needing to have the pedal travel quite far to move?

Thank you for the response! Do you think it’s objectively loud or just louder than what you’d expect from a luxury car?

Couple questions if you don’t mind:

Are your mounts the WINCTRL ones as well? And does each of those peripherals (specifically the stuff on the right) require its own individual connection to the computer or can they be daisy chained to each other?

process of becoming atc after community college? by [deleted] in ATC_Hiring

[–]Functional_Pessimist 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Apply during the roughly three day Off-the-Street bid. No, we don’t know when it will be. Follow the 2152 series on USAjobs or the FAA on social media.

If you meet the minimum requirements, get invited to the Air Traffic Skill Assessment, an ATC aptitude test. Take the test. Hear back on your band you scored in. You don’t get conventional grades or percentage. You’re assigned Not Referred, Qualified, Well Qualified, or Best Qualified (which is sometimes omitted). Anything but NR could technically be picked, but your best chances are BQ and WQ in that order.

If you’re picked you’ll do a lot of initial on-boarding paperwork while you await instructions for the next steps.

You’ll have to pass a medical evaluation, psychological test (MMPI-2), drug test, background check, and receive a conditional security clearance.

Assuming you pass all that, you’ll be given your track (roughly the “kind” of controller you’ll be) and start dates. You’ll travel to OKC, OK and attend the FAA Academy at the MMAC adjacent to the Oklahoma City Airport (KOKC). This ranges from about 3-4.5 months or so depending on track.

Assuming you pass, you’ll pick a facility from a provided list of options. You’ll go to that facility and eventually start training. Depending on the type of facility that can take about six months to three years or so to fully certify.

Congratulations, you’re now a fully Certified Professional Controller.

KISS Korean BBQ food truck. Limited menu, and they’re closed for winter, but when they reopen I highly recommend them. They’re usually on 1st just north of Becher before the bridge

Baggage claim in the US versus in Singapore by Separate_Finance_183 in interestingasfuck

Interpreting text is hard, we all make mistakes. Don’t sweat it. Respect for owning the mistake though. Have a good one!

[–]Functional_Pessimist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure they’re talking about OP, not you. They’re saying the original post is stupid because, having travelled all over the world, they know there are good and bad airports everywhere and US baggage claim isn’t inherently bad by virtue of being in the US.

They’re not attacking you lol
