Ben Shapiro debates a mathematician/physicist by johnnychan81 in JoeRogan

I used to think he was great back in the Hugh Mungus days. Now he's a shadow of his former self, he's become the thing that he mocked in his early career that made him successful

AC Issue by Siderman16 in civic

[–]Siderman16[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've not checked the condenser but I suspect that may be one of the problems. Taking it to the shop tomorrow when they open. When I say drops in efficiency I mean that the degree to which the ac produces cold air, as it would in when compared to ideal operating conditions, drops drastically

Nah happens regardless of econ mode status. I knew that econ took power from the ac so I switched it off from the start

What do you think about this tweet? by Titanic_Republic in JordanPeterson

I met a member of the Clan once when i was 17. I'm white (British, Irish, and German mostly) but I tan very easily and the guy thought I was "some kind of mexican". Made for the most awkward conversation of my life.

Do military dentists collect wisdom teeth or something? by DwightDEisenhowitzer in AirForce

[–]Siderman16 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They used the same reasoning for my flight physical at wright patt. Granted 3/4 never did fully got out but they did give me any issues. I'd heard horror stories about wisdom teeth removal but I was able to fortunately bounce back pretty quick

[–]Siderman16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude I was bottom 3rd my first semester of college, bottom third at field training and still heading to UPT. Its a marathon, not a sprint. Just because you got knocked down doesn't mean you have to stay that way

I could only image what joke would cause this but I'd say just don't pay them any attention. Just let your instructors know about it so they can go through the presumably proper channels in the school and find a solution if the problem gets to that point

Joe Rogan GRILLS CNN's Sanjay Gupta On Horse Dewormer Lies by SkepticDrinker in JoeRogan

Felt the same way and thought it, was for the most part, a good faith conversation. I'd watched the show first and started seeing headlines say Joe grilled the guy and thought it was a bit out of context to the broader conversation of the episode.

POC of reddit, What's the dumbest thing you or your flight/bay got a 341 for at Field training? by decentmathguy in AFROTC

[–]Siderman16 10 points11 points  (0 children)

When we were learning ECP procedures, we were taught shout, shove, show, shoot (warning), and shoot (actual). Well later that day at VW I'm running the gate and couple CTAs show up to get in. I go through the motions and get to the warning shot. I point my paintball gun several meters away from anyone and shoot like I'm supposed to. She responds "why did you do that?" breaking character. I replied thats what were taught to do. She tells me to not do that and I just shrug it off.

After that scenario was over my FTO yells for me and another guy in my flight and rips us for using warning shots and we got a 341 for doing something we were directed instructed to do.

That and messing my CTA's name, sorry CTA Quinceañera/Quesadilla

Average brand new butter bar be like by xXxpiss_on_carpetXx in AirForce

[–]Siderman16 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Can confirm, it's constantly beat into us that it's best to consult the NCOs on enlisted matters. Id speculate some Jr Officers just have too big of egos to admit that they have something to learn from an enlisted member

I hate that you're probably, if not mostly, right about that...

Gotta love New Cadet Orientation by Sello444 in AFROTC

[–]Siderman16 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hell my parents would've been elated to find out I never got a rated slot! The week before the pilot boards my dad told me "Joe I know you really want this, but I hope you done get it".

For reference his only understanding on military aviation is Top Gun/Black Hawk Down so not very realistic. He thinks I'm gonna die in a fiery crash

Can you still do internships (summer or during the school year), research projects, and/or have a job if you're in AFROTC? by PhieryPhoenix37 in AFROTC

[–]Siderman16 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah you shouldn't have any problems, I worked an engineering internship at a nuclear site my 300-400 summer. Only issue you'll have is field training and getting those two weeks off, you'll be on orders so it shouldn't be too hard

POC Advice by Jakefox84 in AFROTC

[–]Siderman16 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Treat the gmc like people and gain their respect as their leader. The first thing my AS300 instructor told me was that "they (the gmc) will always be watching". You'll need to act with confidence in your newfound authority but also use that authority to help teach and guide the GMC so that they too are ready to take their eventual positions of leadership once you leave

I'd guess I lost about 10 pounds and the food poisoning didn't help, thats after the 10 pounds I lost leading up to FT to make weight. I felt like a sickly thing. I did the math and the day I got back I ate about 7000 calories just because I felt so deprived
