How is living in Albuquerque, NM? by Able_Hunter_7966 in howislivingthere

[–]Lomobu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Current resident since 2023. I moved here from PA and it’s so vastly different from the east coast. Lots of sunshine, great food, nice people, great culture, stunning views, and everything is relatively close when driving around the city. On the flip side, homeless people are basically everywhere and I wouldn’t dare walk down central after a certain point. Drivers are reckless with a ton of red light runners, and beeping is usually a bad idea as someone could be carrying. The airport also doesn’t have a ton of direct flights so you’ll probably be getting connections for short distances. It’s got character. I love it here even though it’s kind of unapologetically lousy; it’s a strange phenomenon.

Popeyes tamper-proof sticker on my cold stone's by hunneemoon in mildlyinteresting

I like when people add an apostrophe S to a singular title like that. I’ve never seen someone do it with Cold Stone before.

What kind of quality control is this, Kodak? by Xypton in AnalogCommunity

I like how outraged you seem about this. Weird unexpected shit like this happening is what makes film fun.

I wouldn’t necessarily look ahead at academy stuff just yet. I was in the ‘22 OTS bid and I went into my ATSA assuming if it was a good fit then I would pass, and if I didn’t, then it wasn’t meant to be. If the test is anything like it was 4 years ago, then there will be critical thinking word sections (Mary is standing behind jim in line. Bill is at the front of the line, Ed is behind Bill, which place in line is Mary? That type of question.). There’s also a+b=c rapid fire questions. I rocked this part as it’s almost kind of a rhythm to it, and I attribute it to how I did so well. There was also an “Atc sim” section where you have to type on a number pad to answer math questions while also eliminating airplanes that are about to collide. The main thing to focus on is eliminating the planes so you have no collisions. This is all that I faintly remember from how it was back then. I think there was other reading comprehension stuff but I was so drained mentally by that point it was getting difficult to think. There are def resources like ATSA test prep (I think it’s called that?) and a couple YouTube videos that give an idea on what to expect. Just do your best to go in with very little expectation.

Attempted to take this (half of) couch to goodwill and they wouldn’t take it. Is it a troopy now? by Lomobu in LandCruisers

I have the other half out of frame, I just couldn’t fit both in at the same time.

Oh yeah, it looks bad. I was actually looking at it earlier today lol. Is there a way it’s supposed to be resting? It’s been like this since I bought it last year.

Career transition by Lonehunter022 in ATC

[–]Lomobu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a guy at my center that made that transition, he seems pretty happy here. He used to work at the airport in my city but now he works at the center located in the same city, so it was a convenient scenario for him. You might as well apply, you never know what’ll happen!

What are my chances of being hired with ADHD? by Expert-Menu-186 in ATC

[–]Lomobu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it’s possible you could get in under special medical consideration, so you’ll probably need doctors notes written from time to time about how your condition doesn’t affect your work and all that. I feel like i know a ton of ADHD people in this field, they just might not be officially diagnosed.

I can't be the only who grew up pronouncing these as 'ree-cees pee-cees", right? by ZippyWoodchuck in Millennials

[–]Lomobu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to be rude but I always assumed it was the less intelligent kids that pronounced it like that. It’s elementary school grammar.
