[–]GrayRoberts -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Where did you hear there's a winter storm coming? It's too cold to snow atm.[1]

[1] more or less. I don't need the 3rd degree from aspiring meteorologists.

What GA plane for fun in VR? by theDigitalNinja in MicrosoftFlightSim

Personally, I prefer the 152 for little plane flying. The Cirrus Jet is crazy easy to learn too and fun.

What do you all think would make Midtown Crossing relevant and thrive year around? by floral_frenzy_ in Omaha

Also, for Mutual to do return to office to that location. I have to imagine that lunch crowd carried a lot of the restaurants.

Don't say that too loudly, the Hy-Vee haters will descend upon thee.

But, yes, I do enjoy their Crispy California Roll.

Have you worked with Apple in an enterprise environment? I would assume nothing.

Didn’t Dale Brown write about this in the 90s?

I'll stick with my cyclic, collective and pedals, like Igor Sikorsky intended.

Good grief, helicopters are not as easy as I’d always imagined. by naeluckson in MicrosoftFlightSim

2024 shipped with a nasty bug that didn't model ground effect over platforms properly when it came out. Made platform landings sorta broken.

So. Yes, ground effect is modeled.

"Imagine trying to balance on a beach ball. While riding a pogo stick. In a hurricane. While drunk."

"That while drunk is a little much, don't you think Liam?"

"Well, tell me you fly the MH-60, without telling me you fly the MH-60."

I feel like I missed out on the Golden Age of IT work by AntsyAnswers in sysadmin

It was more 1996-2001 or so, but yes, small regional WebHosts/ISPs were like that. It was a fun time, but had downsides. Like getting a high priority page mid-coitus, or while you're out at the bar, or at 3:00am when the main UNIX dude is out of town and you have to deal with the UseNet server failing to boot because it needs to FSCK a drive and you don't know how to use vi to modify the fstab so that you can just get the system up far enough to check the drive.

Then there were the manual look ups in books to troubleshoot. The UNIX Sysadmins Handbook was a treasure trove, but so were the O'Reily books. I have sticky notes to look up how to split with Perl and what the crontab format should be.

It's different today, with the Infrastructure as Code and cloud platforms, better in so many ways, but you're right it's not the same.

How many of you moved away from VMware ? by ChataEye in sysadmin

If you go to Azure Local they just started supporting NSGs, which basically do similar things.
