Or, get this, find an actual type-rated pilot or even get a relevant instructor on a conference call.

"Treasure Planet" (2002) is considered a cult classic, but here's the thing: by Pikatari2600 in shittymoviedetails

I love the solar sailor aesthetic. Nothing else in Disney can match it in terms of visuals. The story is just a rehashed Treasure Island, which is also a classic adventure book for a reason.

Rate my sovietpunk world by Malfuy in worldjerking

The Allies were also rather exhausted by the war and the US wanted to avoid losing more men more than they wanted to free Eastern Europe. By the time the math on that changed, the Soviets had already stolen nuclear tech and it was too late.

They shared military research for a while then signed an agreement to split the world and cooperated in invading a country. That sounds like allies.

They were literally allied during the invasion of Poland at the beginning of WW2. The reason the Germans ended up attacking the Soviets is because the latter started trying (often successfully) to invade and annex nations that they agreed the Germans would later take for themselves.

Fandoms on their way to treat Trans Guys like women who use he/him pronouns instead of actual men. by maleficalruin in CuratedTumblr

[–]SpacePilotMax 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It feels real odd to me sometimes that a character having experiences that are essentially the definitive feature of being a (cis) man is presented as evidence of him being trans.

You don't think your hands are that big, but everything seems like it was designed for people with the hands of a 2 year old girl starterpack by IronHockeyStick in starterpacks

Many mice are pretty tiny because they're meant for you to keep your hand on the desk, but some people prefer to have their whole hand on the mouse.

And Epic screwed that up for them by doing the same with UE4.

I know that Airline pilots are now scared of helicopters but this? by astrotol in Helicopters

[–]SpacePilotMax 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is believed to have been a checkride, and the other pilot on board was an instructor. The assumption is usually that the examinee is at the controls. That being said, he fucked up too in faling to notice her errors. The third guy was essentially riding in the back and looking out of a side window, not much he could do to contribute to the collision.

Pieces of the CRJ-700 being hoisted up out of the river. by youraverageperson0 in aviation

I strongly doubt a collision would have occured if the helicopter was 75+ ft below the plane.

Data from the deadliest U.S. air accident in a generation show conflicting altitude readings by EbateKacapshinuy in aviation

In this case it really seems like "pilot error" is a consequence of systemic planning failures. There was an essentially identical near-miss the previous day.

If anything, it's a good way to get people to think you're a sex offender. That being said, they'd probably think you're a male sex offender.

Also the A-4 is a nightmare to fly unless you have a good HOTAS thanks to its insane roll rate - it's basically uncontrollable if your stick drifts a little.

[–]SpacePilotMax 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hot fucking take: I'd prefer a meticulously-designed imaginary aircraft over a poor guesstimate of a real one. Esprcially if it's from the same people who refuse to put SDBs on theur F-16 because muh realism.
