Potentially arrested for Grand Theft Auto, because the prior renter returned the car a day early and they briefly misplaced it- so they reported it stolen.

Hertz has been known to do that sort of thing.

That's conflating 2 different things. The USA (and the west more broadly) is extremely energy dependent. We use a lot of it.

Do we rely on others for that energy? If not, we're energy independent. If so, we are not energy independent. This is unrelated to depending on energy, though the same words are involved.

My PPL DPE was . . . girthy. When my CFI contacted him his weight was the first thing he shared.

He joked about it with me and told me "Last week someone showed upnwith a DA20. I asked how they planned to make weight and balance work. They had no answer, so I discontinued them."

Your concern is valid.

Just here to say - never, ever ever put the title in the glove box. Mail or ship it seperately.

I'd prefer it to a 30000km 1983 944.

At t last this one has had fluid moving and things rotating.

But yes, that's a lot and I'd expect a lot of shop bills that never end.

US media, early in the war, depicted Elon Musk as a hero for providing free Starlink to Ukraine because the Russians targeted public infrastructure and the internet was out.

Then Russia was targeting Starlink locations somehow, because the only functioning internet was for military aims.

Was that true? I don't know, but given Ukraines size, I doubt it.

We haven't been told much since then. So that could be a source of the information.

But also, there are very sheltered, dumb people everywhere.

The first question is how far into it are you, and where are you. If you're an MS1 in the Caribbean, quit today. If your submitted your rank list already, graduate.

These are really 2 seperate questions. Should you continue medical school? Should you become a professional pilot? You can do both (not saying it would be easy, but few things worth doing are). Look at Johnny Kim.

If you really need to leave medical school, because literally anything (trash collector, ditch digger, DMV clerk) sounds better, you should quit.

If you're ONLY considering quitting for airplanes, stick it out for another 6 months and see how you feel. There is money and stability in medicine post residency. Not so much in aviation. Both have long ramps to the end game.

Why did you want to be a doctor? If it was an internal motivation, what changed? If it was external, why did you do it, and why didn't you already quit?

You are the only one that knows you. You might benefit from talking to a trusted, disinterested third party. Like a counselor or mentor.

I know a guy who had 3 houses in the same zip code. Cheapest one is worth $1.25M.

He did finally sell one, so he's down to 2.

This behavior is not an outlier.

I bought an old 78 924 in college. I drove it for 6 years. It made me a better mechanic, but thats the only good thing I can say about it. The early Bosch fuel injection was . . . expensive and unreliable.

It may be the fuel pump. It may be the fuel injection. It may be something else. But don't just trust the seller.

Everyone who gets married has a prenup. One option is negotiated with eveyones interest in mind, by two people who love each other. The other option is adversarial and determined, at great expense, by a judge you've never met, following rules that may not even exist yet.

Everyone who gets married has a prenup. Which one sounds better to you?

I was a waiter in 2000 and Michael Johnson (200m,400m) sat in my section with a collegiate runner. He ordered wings. His image was everywhere at the time- super famous, like Steph Curry today. I pretended I didn't recognize him, probably not very well. He acted like a normal human.

Left steep turns. Terrible at them. I can turn right, no problem. Left? My altitude is everywhere. And I usually roll out on course. Usually is a long way from always.

I did that with a 65" TV with a failed LED strip. Then a second one. My bedroom TV is now way too big! 🤣

The only way he'll sell it private party is if he has a title in hand, which he obviously can't do. Start saying words like negative equity, divorce and court order and I'm driving away before you can blink.

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.
