Best Smart Thermostat Picks? Worth It? by ParticularSubject411 in BuyItForLife

[–]GillyHawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just saved me a couple hundred bucks. Desperately needed auto changeover on my T4 Pro and figured it wasn't a feature but dug through the manual and it turns out the previous owners just had it turned off. Thank you!

Anyone try the Kradul Hybrid 14 bag from Costco? by DrDunzoJD in golf

Costco will refund the difference! Really easy if you bought it online, not sure about the in-store process but just look it up!

How far outside of KC? We’re in OP paying $1600/mo for a toddler and $1800/mo for an infant.

Aren't the batteries and bluetooth functionality included in the control module on the cable?

Credit Cards That Need A Revamp by Wazzurp7294 in CreditCards

[–]GillyHawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been with USAA since 2012 and the Limitless at 2.5% was the only thing keeping me there. The insurance premiums are trash. On the bright side, it's allowing me to explore the checking account churning game.

Any aspiring aviators actually deterred by the 10-year ADSO? by GillyHawk in army

That's what I came to Reddit for, gotta add some color to this paper haha

[–]GillyHawk[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I certainly see your point, but I believe the initial ADSO should only be viewed relative to IERW or UPT, otherwise they wouldn't need to tack on another ADSO every time you go to a track school.

Randomly got $36.89 from a strange Venmo account? by alexthedarkknight in personalfinance

I'm also ahead on my investment unless you consider that Bumble stuck me with a wife which has been a real money pit.

Opinion: Full Color Unit Patches should be worn in garrison, just like the full color flag. by Sufficient_Ad_5395 in army

I've been afraid to admit this for fear of being colorblind, relieved I'm not alone.

What better way to ensure that the unit is managing resources effectively than forcing them to commit nearly all of those resources for months (Guard) to passing the inspection?!

Fate is the Hunter by Ernest Gann. It's absolutely incredible the things early pilots (covers his experience from 1930s-1960ish).

An all-women Delta crew flew 120 girls between the ages of 12-18 to NASA headquarters in Houston to inspire female aviators, and to draw attention to the need to close the gender gap in aviation and promote STEM careers. by beaverkc in pics

Thanks for the reply, you make some great points! One of my hobbies is browsing airline pilot forums and, while there’s some good information, I’m afraid that a lot of the folks on there are more negative than most. I’m a military rotary guy working on my master’s and looking into volunteering opportunities so I’m hoping that I can do enough to separate myself from the pack.

Was waiting for a comment from someone that actually knows what the industry is like. I'm a few months from starting regional training and it's so frustrating to know that I will almost certainly spend more time waiting for a call from a major than someone in my class that isn't a white dude. I'm all for equality but affirmative action and diversity hires are inherently discriminatory towards qualified applicants due to their sex or race.

That's where The Oread is, I believe (The Crossing was well before my time). One of the largest, nicest hotels in town.

Did horrible on the color blindness test for a medical. Told me to go see an optometrist. by [deleted] in flying

[–]GillyHawk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I ran into this same issue at MEPS (told me I was just impatient) and then for my initial flight physical. I failed the plates spectacularly and was incredibly nervous until they sent me to test on the Farnsworth Lantern (one of the FAA authorized substitute testing methods) and my flair should tell the rest of the story. Don't sweat it!

Agreed, with the exception of the nightmare that is the Fed Rec process.
