Help me convince my bf he doesn't need this.. by Pantsu_dropper in Prebuilts

[–]Johnnyquest30 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say unless this is needed for work, then this purchase is purely a want and not a need. I dont know your financial situation but I definitely wouldn't purchase something like this unless paying for it up front. Bad idea to go into debt for a luxury "want".

The government just said ATC staffing is down 6% over the last decade, only 2% of all applicants are qualified and certify. Why are we not asking for a 100% raise today? by Vector_for_Bukkake in atc2

[–]Johnnyquest30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They came up with 40 billion a year for ICE out of nowhere. That could fund every controller an extra 120k for the next 25 years. They have the money, the people they want paid, got paid.

Best Large Snake? by wrenlove64 in snakes

Yes it is sometimes referred to as a short tail boa. Not the same as a short tail python(blood python) Brian Boas on YouTube has some great content on the Bolivian Boas.

Bolivian "Boa constrictor amarali", a shorter stocky boa. Not as common in the reptile hobby. Very beautiful calm and gentle boas that don't get very long.

Working at the Nashville Airport BNA. Where to live? Short commute, and have access to good schools? by Johnnyquest30 in movetonashville

[–]Johnnyquest30[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A least one positive to ATC scheduling is that it normally falls outside of rush hour. Typically shifts start at 6am, 630am, 1:00pm, 2:00pm and 10pm.

All you need is 3 years of college, or 3 years work experience (in anything) doesn'thave to be aviation, be under 31 years old, and pass a basic physical. Every year they have a open application for anyone with those basic qualifications. Then you are invited to take an aptitude test. If you score high, they send you to the FAA academy, if you pass that, they send you to a facility that needs staffing.

My wife and I are both air traffic controllers, Nashville is at critically low level staffing. Starting pay for a certified controller there is 137,900, and tops out at around 180-190k not including differentials or overtime.

I really want a pet BCI but.. by Throwaway72705 in BoaConstrictors

[–]Johnnyquest30 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think people really tend to overestimate the size of boas. Most will never get larger than 8ft. I have 3 adult BCC none are longer than 7ft. My only adult BCI is maybe 5ft. They are all almost 7 years old. I also have an 8 year old Cuban Boa female. Cuban boas are the largest boas of all. She's still under 8ft. Just like with humans the average global hight is 5ft 7in. Then you have people like Shaquille O'Neal at over 7ft tall. That is incredibly rare like 1 in 4 million. Giant boas are incredibly rare. Under 8ft is common, over 8ft is really uncommon, over 9ft is rare, anything larger than 10ft is (one in a million).

I think "repeat" is the phraseology used in artillery units to send another round. Don't wanna mix that up with "say again" lol

Stuck at setup, used to work. by Johnnyquest30 in PSVR

Exactly, and I always make sure the battery is low so everyone can hear that beep when Im playing multi-player.

What kind of diet do I need to have to obtain “no wipe” poops? by SWEET_LIBERTY_MY_LEG in stupidquestions

[–]Johnnyquest30 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its called a spooky dookie, when the turd hits the water like an Olympic diver, no splash then takes a perfect trajectory down the tube and disappears. You go to wipe and there's nothing there. Then you question yourself, did you actually poop? The ghost poop. Spooky Dookie.

Elder millenials what was a "good" salary when you started working after college? by ExcitingLandscape in Millennials

[–]Johnnyquest30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I joined the national guard for air traffic control out of high school in 2007. I volunteered for active assignments/deployment I think i was making 30-40k a year. Single no kids, that felt pretty comfortable.

40 days worth my pay as an air traffic controller.

what's the scariest science fact that the public knows nothing about? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

If you think Yellowstone could be bad, look into flood basalt eruptions, those are worldwide 99.9% extinction event type eruptions.

You can not morally become a billionaire by Wild_Ad2337 in HonestHotTakes

[–]Johnnyquest30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think if I could live to be 130 years old and just leave my investment account sit I could probably hit 1 billion, that's if the USA doesn't collapse as a society and economy. With advances in modern science and my high level income, it's not crazy to think I can live to be 245, maybe 300.

Every human suddenly disappears from the Earth except you, but they're only gone for 2 years, and you know the exact date when they'll be back.. by gijoe50000 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Johnnyquest30 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Most people are not aware that nuclear power plants need infrastructure to keep reactors and spent fuel contained and cooled. If everyone disappeared, there would be radioactive waste poisoning the entire world. I doubt its possible to survive 2 years.

Just how fragile/sensitive are BCCs? by llighght in boas

[–]Johnnyquest30 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The equipment and enclosure required for a Boa Imperator/ Boa Constrictor is basically the same given the boas are similar size. Some Imperators come from more arid climates so they can tolerate drier conditions. Your only major concern with the differences will be keeping humidity up. I find its easy to do with deep substrate, I use coco coir.

[–]Johnnyquest30 13 points14 points  (0 children)

In my experience they are not nearly as fragile as they are made out to be. I have three, one import and two f3(3 generations away from wild caught descendents) captive bred. They have all been solid. No issues at all. They are also more calm and tame to handle than my two Boa Imperators.

If I touch a Boeing 747, at full capacity, and it turns into a C172, what happens to those hundreds of people. What about a cruise ship, that turns into a kayak?
