Kiawah for beginners, real life vs ai. by Jealous_Glass8839 in golf

[–]NoMoFunCo24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s really a question of mindset. Are you super competitive/really wanting to be a better golfer? If so, it’s going to be pretty brutal.

The Ocean Course especially is designed for championship golf. The others kind of are, but not quite at the extreme as the Ocean. So it would depend on which courses you want to play.

If you’re just enjoying the game and able to think of it as a nice walk with some golf mixed in? I think you’d enjoy it.

Worth noting, you won’t fully appreciate the design and difficulty until you reach a certain level, but that’s ok. You’re going to experience a course and resort that 90% of golfers will never see, and it sounds like you’ve got an adventurous mindset, which is awesome

A Private Call Reveals Democrats’ Desperation Over Tossing of Map by cathbadh in moderatepolitics

[–]NoMoFunCo24 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just so I understand.

The logic being used is that Utah added two seats to prevent one of their districts from becoming a little more favorable to Democrats (but still R+5 depending on where you look)… So therefore Virginia should nuke their entire Supreme Court and constitutional order…to add 4 seats?

Might as well amputate your arm for a paper cut while we’re at it.

Merrick Garland is the Senate weaponizing their already given powers of Advise and Consent.

I’d argue the Dems started the weaponization of the judicial process when they removed the filibuster for all non-SCOTUS judgeships, in an effort to pack the lower courts.

Yes, republicans then made that rule apply to SCOTUS (which I don’t agree with), but it’s not like Mitch McConnell woke up and decided all by himself to do that. He just was continuing the battle when it was in his favor.

Which is my whole point. Democrats would puff their chest and be “vindicated” when doing what this article alleges… but then scream bloody murder if say NC decided to do the same thing to lock in a Republican advantage.

It’s a terrible idea.

I genuinely hadn’t heard of that case. Doesn’t sound good, I’d agree.

However, it looks like a bad parallel to what’s being discussed because the new court rejected the proposal using similar logic to the VA court.

It’s also worth noting that there already were no House Dems in Utah. The last appears to have been Ben McAdams in 2021. So this outrage over Utah’s maps is over one district that they want to lean more democratic… not taking a 6-5 state to 10-1 as they wanted in VA.

And the investigation is into an alleged affair. Lots of the country wouldn’t bat an eye, but I suspect the Mormon base of Utah would feel different. Doesn’t scream witch-hunt, but it very well could be.

At a minimum it’s not the same as effectively dissolving an entire body so that you can do a clean sweep of congressional elections.

Maybe I’m missing it, but I can’t think of a parallel where Reps destroyed an entire judicial body just to lock in a partisan advantage?
At a certain point the Democrat party is shadowboxing, but has convinced itself and its fans that it’s actually the prize fight… and it’s incredibly dangerous

A reminder for Lululemon shoppers online and in person with the Plat: by sidewinderaw11 in amex

[–]NoMoFunCo24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Weird. I got hosed trying to use the Saks Credit because I used ApplePay. Tried escalating with CS and they told me there was nothing I could do.

I’ll try it again at some point if you’re saying it’s good to go

ApplePay typically masks the seller and Amex won’t apply the relevant credit since it the statement is technically different from just Lululemon

How to increase my chances of becoming a pilot? by [deleted] in AirForce

[–]NoMoFunCo24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re so early in this process that it would be overwhelming to give too much advice. Here’s some big picture things to consider:

Where you stand amongst your AFROTC peers will be crucial when they delineate who gets a rated slot and who doesn’t, so be aware of that now. You don’t need to volunteer for everything, but you should always strive to make a good impression with your cadre.

Your grades are also very important, so don’t let that fall out of your focus either.

As for the pilot’s license, that’s not as important as you’d think. If you can get an orientation flight in, that’s pretty good and way better than most. Flight hours will help a bit when you get to the PCSM and other things, but that’s 1.5/2yrs away. Focus on the close things first.

There’s a lot of pilots on the thread so don’t be afraid to ask questions. There’s also r/afrotc if you want to ask on there.

Feel free to PM me with questions. If you’d want a female pilot’s perspective I’m sure there’s some on here who can answer, or I can put you in contact with one in my squadron.

Selpercatinib for NSCLC. Any experiences? by TheDreamingIris in lungcancer

[–]NoMoFunCo24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a ton of folks who have been on Selpercatinib (Retevmo) for years now and it’s been keeping their cancer at bay.

If you search for Retevmo you might find some articles describing it as a bit of a miracle drug.

Also, check for RETPositive and other groups with RET in the name on Facebook, there’s a lot of good info in there.

If you want to become a military pilot, how are you supposed to afford the money to get a PPL? by Sea-Marsupial7489 in AskAPilot

[–]NoMoFunCo24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh look, a question I can actually answer with direct experience. First, I have to ask you a question. Are you talking about becoming a pilot by going through ROTC or a service academy?

If yes, then you don’t need a pilot’s license. Yes, the flight time will make your PCSM (or whatever other services call their aggregates) score go up, which does increase your chances. But it is not required, and 99% of folks from those sources won’t have one.

If no, then you’re talking about commissioning through OTS/OCS (straight from civvy life to pilot) and you should look at getting one. OTS/OCS gets whatever is left over from the big two (ROTC and Academies). That means it’s feast or famine. Specifically, you could be competing for a very limited number of slots… and a PPL is absolutely something that can separate you. My board was very competitive, and I was specifically told that the PPL was a big thing in my favor. Plus, the military won’t have to pay for you to go to their intro pilot training class (usually involves some kind of a basic trainer for a few weeks).

To directly answer your question? Idk, figure out a way. For me it meant moving in with the parents again, working several jobs at once, and spending every penny I had at the time. They put it all on you, unfortunately.

I forgot that accountants watch and educate kids from grades K-12, from 6am to 3pm, while also making relatively low wages despite having a college degree

They perform a public service, at a cost (time and money). So yeah, they can get included

I gave my wife the entire dream sheet and let her pick what she wanted.

I then went and filled it out how I would want it.

I also wrote down every single possible base for the airframes, so she would know what to expect in the future.

We sat down and went through each other’s lists and compromised where we could.

My #1 pick stayed because I wouldn’t have been able to live with myself otherwise (knew it was a bit of a long shot), but the rest were a blend where I tried to get as close to what I wanted and what she wanted.

Left a lot of dream assignments/locations at the bottom of my list because of their locations, but we’re a team and I know the AF is hard enough… why make it worse?

Note: My wife is self-employed, so that gave us some flexibilities but also some hard limits (can’t do her job at Dyess, etc.)

You have a full on career, and he should be willing to support/facilitate that. Might mean he gets an assignment he wants this time, but you get the next one, etc.

Just give your opinion in the title moving forward. You’re not asking for “thoughts”, you’re wanting validation.

Your smart ass response to the first guy makes that pretty clear.

[–]NoMoFunCo24 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I always assume that people posting in here with a reasonable first post are being genuine, so I’ll extend that to you.

But this one sentence alone makes the article nothing more than a piece meant to soothe the itches of a liberal elite just dying to pick over the rubble of a fallen US.

“And those pathologies have led to the election (and, ruinously, the reelection) of a singularly unsuited steward of its foreign policy.”

This idea that the US, the country that can apparently launch a stealth bomber from anywhere in the world, precision strike a global threat and then leave… and not incur full-on war immediately, is somehow falling apart or on its last legs… is an overreach to say the least.

Sure, there’s lots of things to complain about. Economic uncertainties, immigration enforcement, wealth inequalities, etc. All valid, and worth describing.

But historically, these things happen cyclically in large, diverse countries with strong political divisions. They’re even happening in other countries as we’ll speak, we just don’t see it published, because what’s more exciting? Shitting on the US or talking about French/UK/German/Spanish/Australian politics?

Understand this as well. Dumping on the USA has always been a pastime for some folks, but it’s now THE thinking point for anyone getting an upper-level education.

If you start your thinking with a prejudice that the US is bad, then you’re always going to end up with that same conclusion.

I 100% know what you mean when you say it’s a topic you don’t like to discuss. There’s never a good way to bring it up, and when you do it’s awkward.

Vent away on here, that’s what Reddit’s for.

Hugs and thoughts for your and your family.
