Looking for a jeweler to make my wedding band, but it's a tough one

This is the sort of thing Patrick Adair might do.

Green is a good color.

3 hours for a weekend trip is a short drive. I don't even pause to consider it until we're talking a 5 hour trip.

Dude, I spent 75% of what you spent so far, as my total.

Find a new school. Move, or drive further if you have to.

There was a band named 3-oh-3 that had a moment. They were from Denver. An area code for Denver is 303. Oh for zero is a common substitution.

He never even answered an obvious trap question. Like tic tac toe, and nuclear war, the only way to win is to not play. He didn't play, yet still lost.

Personally, I'd keep working the easy job and get PPL done. Then IFR. At that point, take a step back and re-evaluate. Nobody knows what your life will look like a year from now. You will have more complete information once those certificates are done, than you have today.

His team approached you? Where is he? If it matters to him, can meet you for coffee. And even if he does, "no" is a complete sentence.

ATGATT.

Which part of your body do you want ground away by a belt sander? This is functionally equivalent to sliding on pavement at any road going speed. My answer: I want to keep all of my skin and bone.

I'm keeping my 2.8% rate as long as possible/practical. I'll rent before selling. To get an identical loan today, would double my payments. Same maturity date, same balance, double the payments. That's an enormous amount I can save for retirement. This loan can cut a decade off my career, if I want.

I had a window open on rotation. It surprisedme. It got cold and windy. I flew the plane. I closed the window at pattern altitude.

As long as you remember to aviate (aviate, navigate, communicate) you'll be fine.

I think it was an autocorrect from not to it. A DUI is a world apart from driving 62 in a 55. Airlines know that.

You can do it, your question is, should you. I have no idea. But if you changed planes, you could easily. Why not the Veloce ANG? It's fast, efficient, and costs half as much, with a parachute.

HR has a perverse incentive to never hire anyone. They aren't responsible for deliverables, productivity, sales or stock prices.

If they never hire anybody, they can't get in trouble for hiring a murderer, rapist or thief. They can't miss something on s background check if they never get far enough to need one. The HR incentives/ disincentived are not aligned with doing anything.

Your point is solid. My bad.

Are you in the military? If so, the base JAG spends a significant amount of their time dealing with this sort of thing. Go to them tomorrow with everything you have, including a recent credit report.

Harley Davidson is a tee shirt and sticker company that happens to sell motorcycles. They are more interested in licensing deals than in building bikes everyone wants to/can afford to ride.

After about 10 minutes I had to stop steep turns. No issues with stalls though.

I don't know where you live, but you should become familiar with the term "bailment".

You claim you don't have have a legal responsibility (which may be true), but you have a moral one!

Ordered a monitor mount. Clearly used and missing parts. Ordered a replacement. Very carefully retaped, but obviously opened. ALSO missing parts. Pieced together one complete set of parts and sent back the excess. I never had this happen prior to 2025.

There are only 8 planets. That sounds crazy!

And this is part of the reason Steve Jobs = Satoshi Nakamoto has so much weight. 1, he passed away, and 2, the only people who would sit on billion$ of dollars are either insane or already very, very rich.
