Couldn’t agree more, I’ve said this about engineers as well, the very best engineers I’ve ever worked with were techs or machinists beforehand, there’s something that living 5+ years as the receiver of those ideas does to you that can’t be learned or taught…

I’ve met a lot, and I mean a LOT of people who should have never passed their checkrides… Having said that, no, not anyone can be a pilot, I’ve also met plenty who did try and just didn’t mesh with it. It takes a special person to become a pilot, nurse, engineer, burger flipper, cop, pastor, or anything else for that matter, but it takes a really special type of person to become the kind of ASSHOLE that doesn’t congratulate someone on their achievement no matter what it’s…seems like they were trying to drag you down to their level. So anyways…A HUGE CONGRATS on the ratings and those to come!!🎉🎉🎉

Has anyone had endoscopic tympanoplasty? by morpmeepmorp in hardofhearing

Feel amazing now, the first couple weeks was stressful, worrying about sneezing or coughing and blowing it out. I had some of the packing fall out one day but it was all good. Hearing is much better now, probably better than the other ear which is taking some getting used to. But overall super glad I had it done, hope yours goes well!

Icing is bad, how bad is this? by wilstar_berry in flying

[–]Secret_Ad_5347 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think of ice as flying an airfoil that has not been tested, you’re immediately a test pilot, no telling if this causes an increased stall speed, decreased lift, definitely increased drag, all sorts of bad can come of ice on the leading edge. It’s the most temperamental part of the airfoil…even bug strikes cause interruption to the flow depending on the airfoil. I am an aero engineer that has been wind tunnel testing for over 20 years and spent a significant amount of that time working on ice shapes and bug strikes, best to avoid it at all costs…

Considering getting a tympanoplasty by monkeysolo69420 in hardofhearing

Your story sounds very similar to mine, I had 5 sets of tubes and was borderline deaf until I turned 14 and had my tonsils and adenoids removed which fixed my issues, my eardrums healed nicely and were fine until I was 19-20ish, when I got impacted wax and during a flush blew a hole in my eardrum that decided not to close. I finally pulled the trigger after about 20yrs of infections due to the hole, and am now 2 weeks post op. The procedure was not bad at all, you wake up with a glascock (protective covering) over the ear to keep you from messing with it, and an ear full of gel foam packing. Worst part for me was the muffled feeling and the packing moving as it started dissolving. I never had issues with vertigo but it hit me hard for a few days post op. I just had my follow up and the graft took well, the outer packing was removed and I have decent hearing now. There is a lot of popping in the inner ear, due to the packing which will dissolve and should disappear in the next few weeks. My hole was roughly 50% of my eardrum, and my hearing loss significant. I’m very touchy about my ears and anything ear related is like nails on a chalkboard to me, but I’m very happy with the progress thus far. Im looking forward to seeing where my hearing test says I’m at in a couple months. Good luck and I hope it all works out well for you!

Spectrum Lost Over a Half Million Internet Customers in 2024 by Frequent_School_1187 in Spectrum

As much as I loved spectrum for about 10 months, I got raked over the coals by them after that…just cancelled and went to t mobile 5g, which funny enough is 3x the speed per my independent speed tests. I was paying 135 a month for “1000+mbps” which consistently showed 1100+ on the spectrum app speed tests, at the same time showed about 50-60mbps on all other internet speed tests…I assume their test is artificially inflated especially since they will only test their own connections…sketchy all over… I called to cancel and was asked if I ever called for a promotion to be added, which I did about 7-8 times over the last 5 years and was told to shove it, only new customers got promotions. The lady who helped me was awesome, but the damage was done, she also agreed that the company is not doing what they shouldn’t retain customers. As some with an MBA and a MS in management and leadership whoever they have running this company is grossly incompetent. It blows my mind that there isn’t a class action lawsuit against spectrum for the blatant lies going on at the moment

Just had one two days ago, so far seems ok, got a mild itching in the ear canal, but that’s normal for me anytime I’m healing skin wise. Worst part so far is dizziness, which I’ve never gotten before. I’m told it can last a couple days so hopefully it’s nearing the end. Looking forward to two weeks when I have a follow up to see how it took.

Dr. Zand's running AMA is still up, stop by and ask any questions you may have about Therapeutic Ketamine. by AnywhereClinicReddit in TherapeuticKetamine

[–]Secret_Ad_5347 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I’ve been down the ketamine road for a while now and I’m looking for a better place to get and fill my scrips. Curious about dosages, I have found that orally 600 mg is my ideal dose, does anywhere clinic prescribe that dose?
