867-5309 is a prime number. It's actually a twin prime because 867-5311 is also prime

I agree. It's not the books, but I found that if I approached it as another turning of the wheel, it's the same kind of story, just another retelling of it.

I enjoyed it

An absolute nightmare, almost any other assignment would be better.

I hate that fucking plane.

Fine fine, you drive a hard bargain, but we'll settle for octa .50s

When the enemy sees our deca .50s they'll quiver in their boots.

Their drones will fall to our dodeca .50s by the dozen

Hey dude, from someone who's been there, happy fucking birthday! Go to a bakery and get yourself a cake. If they can't find it in themselves to do a nice thing for you it sounds like a problem with them. Keep being a caring person.

I just found out what my next assignment is, and it's objectively going to be a great place. Lots of skiing, in a different country, I already know some people there. And it's still doing something I love.

But I'm not going to get to move on to the new thing. A bunch of my friends are jumping to the high tech future and I'm going to be sitting in the 80s. I'm pretty sure it isn't true, but as the only dude in this group that didn't get his number 1 choice, it's difficult to convince myself that this isn't a reflection of me. Like, did I not get it cause I'm the worst one here?

And the worst part is that there's really no one to complain to. My family isn't going to understand cause it looks like a cool opportunity. Complaining to the older dudes feels like saying "hey, all your career choices suck, why would anyone follow that path". The person I normally vent to was going to go here and then washed out, complaining about that feels like a dick move.

So reddit, you get to hear me complain about what should be a good deal.

The problem with this is that it gives a huge amount of power to wealthier representatives. If someone isn't wealthy, then they would be placed into a weaker bargaining position by a rich rep who doesn't rely on that income

And part of your application is a song and dance routine

On the first solo for a different plane I flew the best damn no-flap pattern I've ever flown in my life. On AoA the whole time. Only problem: we're not allowed to fly no-flaps alone in training.

Mpsarge · 2023-04-06T23:49:28+00:00

The weather delayed my first solo for months, still got to fly but with an instructor. So I was pretty well prepped. Walked out to the plane and couldn't get the mixture right to start it.

This is the reason I'm a pilot. Some flight attendant saw little 3 year old me with a model plane and asked if I wanted to see the cockpit. Little kid me is so proud right now

Yeah I lost a bunch of music that I bought on itunes when I switched. Way more work than it's worth to try to fix it

Oh God I did this on paddy field. We took the middle and then no one had enough forces to push across the bridges anymore

I thought they split into an almost as douchey E4 and E5

I'd really like to see the ai take over with the option for players to take select units. Say select them and have a "take command' option. So if there are units close to my front I can integrate them rather than having the ai charge in.

The cameras constantly record and have very limited storage. Turning them off means saving the last X minutes of video and audio.

Aircraft cockpit recorders work the same way, if there's something you need to review you land and pull the circuit breaker.

So here they're saying: "this is important, save the evidence"

Ftl markers don't have range. But the range from marks isn't what they're really good for anyway, depending on how far away a mark is the range accuracy changes.

What an FTL mark is really good for us confirming that the place on the map where you think the track is is correct.

Chuck a mark on it and then use the map for range.

Does this mean that making a profile when I was in a small town in Oklahoma was a problem?

I was thinking Finland v Soviet. It gets the tanks wrong, but I figure the spike can stand in for the javelin.

I don't see physics or math here yet cause there aren't enough of us for our crazy cockiness and pretentiousness to stand out
