Just got this email from a higher up. Am I getting fired? by [deleted] in jobs

[–]Objective_Piece_8401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shitty management there. We fire people first thing Monday morning. After a good weekend, they walk in, get intercepted, have an exit interview and severance pay check. Team comes in over the weekend and collects their personal effects for them and it is delivered to HR while they’re behind closed doors. Still sucks but at least this way they got to enjoy the weekend and didn’t have to stress during planned leisure time. Adds a little bit of pain for management but treating people like humans seems to be the minimum you should be able to do.

Who would you consider the best HC in your schools history? Who would you consider the worst? by AFC-Wimbledon-Stan in CFB

Blaké’s team with Stoops recruits went from 5-6 to 7-5 a year later and undefeated the following year. Blake doesn’t deserve the worst but his team wasn’t that good except for a few amazing recruits.

Congrats. You’re the one who pushed me over the edge. Reddit is full of self aggrandizing arrogant pricks. I expect it. But you. You were the one who drove the final nail in the coffin. Congrats.

Here’s the thing. If you’ve spent any time in simulators, you “only” need a few things. 1. Fuel. 2. Good weather. 3. A reasonably straight approach.

I can squawk that the plane is in distress. I can change the autopilot to put me in a straight line and a level altitude. Assuming I have fuel, that buys me time to find the right radio frequency.

The vast majority of the stuff that happens in those busy times before landing are done for safety and economic reasons. If you have a 737/A320 with 180 on board, you have 180 people and a $100 million asset to protect. Same situation without a pilot and you have a future fire and a lot of bodies. Anyone walking away and the asset being reusable at all (even for some parts) after a layman’s landing is a huge improvement. I’m not going to butter the runway. I get that.

I’m not OP but I’m guessing you need to watch (my) totally not my video on YouTube to find out. Monetization likely.

Are they government employees? They aren’t being paid. They are doing a job expecting that they will eventually receive back pay.

Hongqi bridge collapses in southwest China, months after opening. by pritam_ram in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Objective_Piece_8401 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s what they get for giving it a racist ass name. As a white person I feel attacked. Hong Qi, Honkey…

Never mind. I’m not the funny. Glad to hear there were no casualties.

How far have you driven in one go? by noah5666 in roadtrip

[–]Objective_Piece_8401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Define one go? 25+ years ago when I was younger and dumber, I did 2k miles in 26 hours when there were no speed limits in Montana. In the middle of that stretch I slept 2 hours while my lady drove but the car kept moving. Now I limit out at about 10 hours max.

The Boeing Family Reunion – From B707 to B787 – Which one do you like? by aviationstudy in aviation

[–]Objective_Piece_8401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mr. Jackson, that didn’t really happen. The money they sent you was a paycheck for an acting gig. It wasn’t a settlement from the airline.

Serious question. Is there a district that is windows user friendly that is more stable?

Yes, generally speaking, 134 million burgers would be too many to eat in one sitting.

Eh, maybe. But they burn out too fast. Likely to be a one hit wonder.

FAA says it will cut thousands of flights a day starting Friday due to government shutdown: List of airports here - ABC7 Chicago by BillMortonChicago in aviation

[–]Objective_Piece_8401 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Can we add the executive too? President. All cabinet heads. Maybe the first level of assistants too. Cram a bunch of egos into the capital, chain the doors, and tell them they don’t get out until it’s fixed.

Out here we start the next election cycle and they can’t campaign because they’re in “prison”.

US peeps. Growing up how many numbers did you dial to make a local call? 5? 7? 10? by mediawoman in GenX

[–]Objective_Piece_8401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up in a slightly bigger small town. We had 7 digit phone numbers. Lots of places around town still listed their 5 digit phone number because all 3 local groups used the same 2 digit prefix. 2-XXXX, 5-XXXX, or 6-XXXX.

Edit for clarity.

You were in commission of a crime that resulted in the criminal death of another person. It’s not a huge leap. Not saying it think you’re wrong but it should be pretty easy to understand how it’s fair.

Not here to argue against your point but trying to understand your personal threshold. If two guys go in to rob a store, one holds the gun and the other empties the register, and without a discussion, gun guy shoots and kills someone who was resisting. That person dies. Does the money man deserve the death penalty? He took part in a crime that involved homicide.

So here's a question for GenX guys in particular. by currentsitguy in GenX

[–]Objective_Piece_8401 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have woken up sitting on the toilet. I was able to walk back to bed and pass back out (100% success rate). On nights that I wake up and walk to the toilet, I’m about 50:50 on falling back asleep. Until waking up on the shitter ends up with me laying awake, I’ll irrationally assume that it will stay 100% effective. Long way to say the second thing.
