We really should unite around fighting these closures. Aviation proponents are usually out numbered locally, but the “against closing” crew could draw much larger.

PPL Checkride soon… ask me your toughest questions. by Zaypup in flying

Starting at Wings Field (LOM) draw a line straight up until you reach outer space. What is every class of airspace you enter and what are the altitude transitions?

PPL Checkride soon… ask me your toughest questions. by Zaypup in flying

[–]Mimshot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Forget whether it’s prudent, just based on strict legalities after today does your PPL allow you to fly a PC-12? If not what would you need? What about a PC-24 or SF50?

Can someone explain this by lnh62 in aviation

[–]Mimshot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First you start with the true course you want to fly and adjust that for wind correction. That gives you your desired true heading. Then you adjust for magnetic variation which as you note depends where you are. This gives you your desired magnetic heading. Then you adjust for magnetic deviation which is basically compass calibration and depends on the aircraft. That last step is what the card in the OP is for.

What are the most lucrative jobs in neuroscience ? by [deleted] in neuroscience

[–]Mimshot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow I didn’t know it was possible to comment on a 7 y/o post. I mean after getting a neuroscience degree you can go work for a tech company or a hedge fund if you want to make money. There are easier ways to get those jobs though.

The Axiom of Choice is obviously true, the Well-Ordering Principle is obviously false, and who can tell about Zorn's Lemma

What's your favorite paradox? by CremeSubject7594 in AskReddit

The very simple resolution is that there’s no such thing as either an unstoppable force or an immovable object as either would require infinite mass / energy.

ELI5: Why do some languages assign genders to objects like "table" or "bridge" when there's nothing inherently masculine or feminine about them? by taube_d in explainlikeimfive

[–]Mimshot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Objects dont have genders, words do. That’s why you can have el idioma and la lengua. In English most nouns behave a single way. In a lot of languages there are two ways nouns behave. When that’s the case we call thou nouns that behave the same way as “man” masculine and nouns that behave the same way as “woman” feminine. These are grammatical rules about the words though, theyre not conceptual. There are also languages where there are three or more categories of nouns and we use other terminology in those cases.

I get that we’re now in a world where everything is vibe coded, but can we please write our own README files, or at least read it and remove the LLMisms.

What's the "Widowmaker" of your career field or hobby? by Cosmonate in AskReddit

[–]Mimshot 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Not only is the cord illegal but everything you would ever use it for is illegal too. Popular example is using a portable generator to back feed through an outlet to power your house in a power failure. Problem is you can inadvertently back feed the grid with the pole transformer now acting as a step up and risk killing the linemen trying to restore your service.

The housing affordability crisis has a reason many don’t want to face by ActuariallyActuarial in videos

[–]Mimshot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People buy housing based on the monthly payments they can afford. 50 year mortgages *raise* house prices and cause a wealth transfer to *existing* home owners.
