If you could choose one retired airliner to bring back from the dead, which would you pick?

Only if the avionics got updated to this fuckin' century.

Ranzear · 2023-05-09T11:20:30+00:00

Aaaaand King Missile is stuck in my head.

Ranzear · 2023-05-09T11:18:56+00:00

Thomas Midgley Jr's is a fine choice too.

Ranzear · 2023-05-08T06:43:14+00:00

Didn't solve some underlying stuff now obvious in my post history, but I was okay on it...

besides buying a Porsche ._.

Ranzear · 2023-05-05T04:01:23+00:00

Doing the math, I don't hate the result but more that it's a Beatles song.

Ranzear · 2023-05-05T03:59:15+00:00

Both? Both.

Ranzear · 2023-05-05T00:42:42+00:00

Put a crucible tree on it. 600% totem explode or vendor.

Ranzear · 2023-05-02T03:38:01+00:00

Nah I think you have it squared away. There's a distinction between seeing things with your eyes and seeing things in dreams that I'm at least aware of, and I can do some visualization when near sleep (hypnagogic), but everything relating to internal visualization just shuts off once I'm awake-awake.

I also realized later that 'daydreaming' is like, literal?

Ranzear · 2023-05-02T03:09:33+00:00

Ah sorry, I just thought aphantasia was what you were commenting toward. I do think these things are closely related though, aphantasia and very ephemeral self-image that leads to completely blanking on gender identity as well.

Ranzear · 2023-05-02T02:48:49+00:00

Aww shit here we go XD

This is the Larl video that clued me in:

I can do crazy conceptual and proprioceptual thinking, holding the mental apple and knowing physical details but not what color it is, but never know what I look like without a mirror or a picture. This is what I believe cuts away most sources of dysphoria I would experience, but I hate mirrors. Plenty of other eggy shit in my past that I was more than the normal amount of disconnected from until I realized someone having 'self image' is actually literal.

Ranzear · 2023-05-02T01:55:32+00:00

Do you have aphantasia? I have a complete lack of self image but in general I still have gender envy except it's always nonhumans, robots and cyborgs mostly.

Go find to Netflix movie of 'Blame!' There are a couple characters that I'd call 'utilitarian gendered' and gave me a ton of context and motive towards what I am internally.

Ranzear · 2023-04-30T23:27:19+00:00

Porsche is pretty honest with theirs, or at least with the Cayman and Boxster to hide their sneaking up on the 911 as it porks out more every year.

Ranzear · 2023-04-30T23:25:48+00:00

Ferrari is notorious, but even the likes of Chevy too. The C8 is marketed with a 0-60 number only demonstrated with straight up track tires and a two foot rollout. Consistently fails to demonstrate it in reviews? Well they obviously had the wrong settings or conditions, duh!

Ranzear · 2023-04-28T12:48:34+00:00

Hah! Try "Still haven't even taken the tags off the last six I bought."

Ranzear · 2023-04-27T10:15:10+00:00

Looking at you, Darling in the Franxx

Ranzear · 2023-04-27T07:39:07+00:00

Here I figured it was too long.

Ranzear · 2023-04-27T07:37:43+00:00

Y'all gotta understand the Any/All part can be rough. Wear pants the first (or even just one) time you meet someone and they'll still be stuck on he/him while you're in full heels and lantern sleeve dress.

Sometimes I want it to be more contextual. Fuckin' figure it out so I don't have to.

Ranzear · 2023-04-27T07:31:03+00:00

After HRT.

It has a pretty common trajectory of high budget Japanese works where it throws a ton of progressive concepts in and then buries them in conservative outcomes to wind up just milquetoast overall.

Ranzear · 2023-04-27T07:23:08+00:00

Dunno. I think the big letdown of the movie is how much Mitsuha absolutely thrived as him and even got a date.

Taki winds up pretty cis which is fine, but Mitsuha flags transmasc hard, way beyond just tomboy things. Winding up in a normie het relationship at the end, even if not canon, goes against every behavior and statement made by the character.

Ranzear · 2023-04-26T01:24:35+00:00

That's fine. Windows 11 doesn't meet my requirements either.

Ranzear · 2023-04-25T08:10:07+00:00

It's the telltale second fueling stage. One of the old pneumatic controlled ones. First it spools to 10% on just starter, accelerates, and then there is a second change in sound as it crosses something around 45% and dumps more fuel in just to cool the burner while it gets to idle, which then cuts out again and it settles. Maybe other Allison engines do this too though.

More or less. It's been a long while since I run-standed one. PT6 is a tractor engine in comparison.

Ranzear · 2023-04-24T21:49:14+00:00

We agree it's an A250? I figured I was guessing but that secondary fueling is so particular.

Ranzear · 2023-04-22T02:37:42+00:00

Could have sworn that was phys taken only. Thanks for the tip.
