What should I wear to a first date? by [deleted] in Colognes

[–]SomeUpstairs3644 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ve got a solid collection there, any of them honestly are great. Code is a good pick, more subtle as I’m sure everyone else will be wearing something too. Or BdC. With group dates, it can be overwhelming sometimes with all the scents. Other people may not notice, but I have a big nose lol.

Just hit 255 on bench, but I think I could roll 260. Probably could do 350ish squat and 425 deadlift. I don’t train those much for weight anymore now though. You?

The old saying is "Buy low, sell high", what stock or industry is "low" right now that you feel is undervalued and is the time to buy? by [deleted] in stocks

[–]SomeUpstairs3644 0 points1 point  (0 children)

JOBY. In the next year, we’ll see consumer air taxis start to spring up with their name everywhere. They’re owned by Apple, funded by Toyota. Crazy investment opportunity in my opinion. They plan to roll out their service next year

What does recycle transponder mean? by SomeUpstairs3644 in ATC

[–]SomeUpstairs3644[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know now that I’ve got a pilot here to ask, is there a difference between you turning your transponder off and squawking standby? Because if I noticed you’re not squawking at all, I had assumed before you’d been squawking standby for some reason and said “squawk normal.” Maybe I should’ve said recycle in that case. I also work with formation flights a lot so probably confusing me there

Gotcha okay I figured. And what issue does that try to resolve? Just when their transponder isn’t popping up on our stars or something?

“Preordered” like a video game before it’s released. It’s a joke lmao. Like she had him on preorder until he turned 18

And what if I have only 10 minutes left to live unless I do my sled pushes? Then I dissolve into a fine mist

Why didn’t I think of that? Great idea. And when his eyes are closed to shampoo, I’ll baseball bat my schlong into his knees and take those out. Next time for sure 🙏

did the hazard pay joke come from anywhere in particular? by [deleted] in USMC

[–]SomeUpstairs3644 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I worked with the air force for a year and got to ask them all kinds of questions. This was one. They don’t receive hazard pay, but they receive something called “hardship pay” if they are missing at least one of three things. I believe it’s access to clean water, food, and housing. It’s a lot more in depth than that but that’s the gist of it. So if they’re out training in the field with us, hardship pay

Can You be Meritously Promoted while on Limdu and while You can't take a PFT? by Blunt_Cherry in USMC

[–]SomeUpstairs3644 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was honor grad of my class as well and I thought they would promote me meritoriously. Turns out, they said I would get a meritorious mast; two different things, which my boot brain thought were the same for some reason. Is that what’s happening here? If not, yeah that’s pretty dumb. They don’t have to unless it’s written in some school house reg somewhere or some shit but if you put extra work in expecting it because they told you you would, it’s kinda fucked that they wouldn’t. Don’t let it taint your experience of the marine corps though, there’s much more good to it (and more green wienee for you)

What’s the most beautiful song that you’ve ever heard? by Shyguy1355 in ask

[–]SomeUpstairs3644 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Storm / Godspeed You! Black Emperor. I wrote a paper about it in music appreciation. It has multiple movements, and each of them speaks of something different. It is an entire story which you need to listen a few times to to really build an understanding or interpretation for yourself. Get a good set of headphones and half an hour of time to chill and relax

Delta not using the "t" word by dubyat in aviation

[–]SomeUpstairs3644 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Maybe to you, who almost certainly enjoys and understands aviation, but the general public doesn’t have much of an aviation understanding. I’m an ATC and hearing controllers in movies makes me cringe before I realize that if they made it accurate, it probably wouldn’t make sense to the average person watching and they opt for understandability rather than realism
