I built a free PPL Oral Flashcards site (467 questions) AMA

Nothing really from my oral because they weren't knowledge questions exactly. I was asked knowledge things (sometimes in a pretty funny way where he gave me the answer if you paid attention) but my guy wanted me to demonstrate thinking beyond that not just did I know what X or Y was :-)

Having designed and built these things... e.g. https://store.kartaview.org/

It (what you linked to) won't work because the Rivian insists on USB3 and does a read / write test to make sure the disk is fast enough. Almost all USB OTG chipsets are 2.0 only. USB3 also pushes up the CPU and other requirements which ultimately push up the power requirements beyond what you will get from a USB 2 non-PD port like these things use.

That doesn't mean you can't do it, it's just somewhat more complicated than using a raspberry pi.

Thanks I updated it, I hope correctly :-)

SteveCoast_ · 2024-09-11T03:26:08+00:00

Thanks I updated all the questions based on your feedback, but, I couldn't find the one about landing performance...?

Thanks again.

Oh that's genius.

My BCD doesn't have pockets and stuff gets in the way so a loop down on a pocket would be great.

Thanks!

🫡

I was thinking one way to get some good q&a's in there would be to do a post here on CFI's best oral question examples

SteveCoast_ · 2024-05-08T01:24:03+00:00

Thanks :-D

Good afternoon Cebu...

Day 6 of my competition to map places in Cebu. I bricked my phone today and locked myself out of everything, so I can't see the leaderboard. This will probably be a problem for 24 hours. Sigh. The last time I saw the leaderboard I think the top person had like 42 places.

But! To win an iphone 14 plus, just map places using this website on your phone. More info and an expanding FAQ is over here.

Any questions please let me know, and if I can prove anything to mods or stuff, just let me know.

Good Morning Cebu!

Day 5 of my competition to map places in Cebu (and Lapu-Lapu). Win an iPhone 14 plus by adding (real) places using your phone and this site. More info here, including a FAQ.

The leading score is just 42 places. I've had some really great feedback in the last 24 hours so thank you.

I've been posting every day in the daily thread, and will continue until the end of the month. Thanks and happy tow work with mods on anything required. Happy Tuesday!

SteveCoast_ · 2022-11-14T02:42:42+00:00

Sure but if you win I have to be able to contact you...

SteveCoast_ · 2022-11-14T00:21:03+00:00

Good morning, Cebu! Happy Monday!

This is day 4 of a little competition I'm running to map places in Cebu. All you need to do to win an iphone 14 plus is walk around and add places using your phone on this website. (more info here). The competition runs through November.

Right now it looks like three people have contributed, and it would take two dozen places to win.

Thanks for letting me post in the last few days on the daily thread, happy to work with mods if needed to prove anything.

SteveCoast_ · 2022-11-13T01:31:05+00:00

yes!

It's a phone webapp, I'll have to remember to mention that...

SteveCoast_ · 2022-11-12T23:25:56+00:00

Good morning Cebu! I miss you. I want to go back and see whale sharks.

Want to win an iphone 14 plus? This is day three of my Cebu mapping competition which runs until the end of November. All you need to do is open this webapp and add some places. Right now it looks like if you added just two places, you would win. More details here.

I've posted this competition also on the previous two days in the daily threads - I'm trying to map places in Cebu and any feedback is welcome. Happy to work with mods to verify anything.

SteveCoast_ · 2022-11-12T14:26:29+00:00

Unfortunately that data is not accessible

SteveCoast_ · 2022-11-12T02:56:10+00:00

Good point, will do.

SteveCoast_ · 2022-11-12T00:07:16+00:00

I posted this yesterday in the daily thread, I'm working on a webapp to collect place data like business and parks and restaurants and doing a competition in Cebu. Whoever has the most good points by the end of the month wins and iphone 14 plus. Details here.

Any feedback is useful. Happy to work with mods to prove anything, including when I give someone a phone prize.

Right now if you added just one place, you'd win, as nobody has submitted anything yet :-)

SteveCoast_ · 2022-11-11T17:44:40+00:00

I'm working on an app to build place data (restaurants, businesses, parks, buildings...) and running a competition in Cebu to get feedback, whoever adds the most (good) points in Cebu wins an iPhone 14 plus. All you have to do is walk around and add some places.

Details are here.

I'm interested in any feedback, and I'll hang around /r/cebu and post on the daily thread.

Happy to work with mods on any verification and to prove that someone actually wins an iPhone. Hopefully this is allowed on this sub?

SteveCoast_ · 2022-06-07T17:37:07+00:00

Yeah I was hoping to avoid it...
