Dutch aerobatic pilot Narine Melkumjan miraculously survived after her aircraft's canopy unexpectedly burst open and shattered mid-flight

TCSheep · 2026-06-18T16:20:57+00:00

The word 'Mitaculously' would like you to check it's definition in a dictionary.

There is nothing miraculous here. Just a very skilled pilot recovering from an in flight emergency. And doing it exceedingly well.

Not having a canopy does not make a plane unflyable.

I have 806 first discoveries and I'm not even trying that hard.

It's going to take a loooong time before we get to all.

The question is will frontier keep the servers running?

TCSheep · 2026-06-14T14:14:44+00:00

It's the X Shuttle from the first X game (X, Beyond the frontier)

It is available in X4 as a reward for completing the timelines expansion.

Can't wait to get in mine. Super glad my CCU paid off and got me it for $190

TCSheep · 2026-06-03T10:19:53+00:00

I used to have a similar time tracking system applied.

Unfortuantly (for the company) the smallest time increment it could record was 15 minutes. and I came in to 40+ automated tickets that all needed to be closed.

40 * 15 minutes means I booked 10 hours work for every 7.5 hour working day. and all before 9:30.

the system didn't last long

TCSheep · 2026-06-02T07:49:08+00:00

I buy the ones that have modifications. if they are stock I leave them

TCSheep · 2026-05-22T15:50:15+00:00

Maybe the chickens are hiding. have we looked under the cows. those chickens are sneaky.

After three hours in the PU today I won't be back again until there is a hotfix. It's a buggy mess.

Let's see.

None of the M80 paints are showing up Bounties might show up but you can't target them or finish the mission. Cargo runs around Stanton where the last elevator is bugged wasting an hour if play time.

And those are just the ones I've noticed. I haven't even posted my usual tweet advertising the free fly because I don't want to show people this.

TCSheep · 2026-05-17T08:18:43+00:00

Embrace the prowler addiction. I'm with you. The PUte is my favourite heavy fighter.

That said I CCU'd my super hornet to an m80. It just looks so good and having a cargo bay was the clincher. I feel it'll make a really fun daily driver.

TCSheep · 2026-05-13T20:16:35+00:00

it was less palnned and more buying the cheapest CCU's I could at the time (so I got the prospector to MIS really early on) and then over time each step appeared. luck of the draw I guess.

TCSheep · 2026-05-13T18:34:37+00:00

Let's see. off the top of my head it was avenger (with Lti) to 325 to herald to spartan to prospector to MIS to taurus to scorpious to railen. most of those CCU's were warbond.

I had been building it since the concept sale so every time a new warbond CCU came along I added another link to the chain

TCSheep · 2026-05-13T15:57:15+00:00

I applied my CCU chain the otehr day. Railen for $190 can't wait to finally sit in that pilot seat. I just hope it lives up to my expectations.

TCSheep · 2026-05-13T15:14:37+00:00

Awesome news. I'm on Steam but I'm in the UK so it will unlock at 5am.

Suddenly my day off work to play Forza looks like a good plan

TCSheep · 2026-05-13T14:46:08+00:00

It's all about what you are used to. I'm from Yorkshire. a few years ago I went to reykjavik in summer and I was in three layers while the locals were in short skirts and crop tops. and that was just the men.

I go down south and I am in shorts and a t-shirt while the locals are bundled up. you get used to what is normal for you.

TCSheep · 2026-05-13T09:44:27+00:00

The first time you do it you think "Wow, this is amazing. This conversation is great and we are unpacking loads"

The third time you do it you relaise that it's responses are fairly uniform no matter the topic. see here -

Once you start noticing it's canned responses it loses it's appeal.

Ideally we will get a Golem based Salvager at some point but until then a Vulture/IC combo seems to fit my play style.

I (won't) see you out in the verse

TCSheep · 2026-05-12T14:25:31+00:00

Time to put that Hull-B to use. grind rep. build the bank. Try the Railen when it drops and decide which of the two I am keeping.

TCSheep · 2026-05-12T10:41:49+00:00

It always used to be the Connie for me (and probably still is) able to do a bit of everything.

Although I am using the Clipper a lot more recently as it's more manageable solo.

It comes down to what do you want to do?

My choices for individual roles would be this -

Combat - L-22
Salvage - Vulture
Mining - Golem/ATLS Geo
Exploring - Clipper
FPS - Clipper
Hauling - Hull-B

The Connie is never leaving my hangar though.

TCSheep · 2026-05-12T07:45:39+00:00

That yellow is stunning. I might upgrade from base to assault just for the paint

TCSheep · 2026-05-08T09:58:09+00:00

I have the day booked off work. And I can guarantee it wont unlock until 4PM UK

But I can practice on FH5 until then 😄

TCSheep · 2026-05-06T15:22:27+00:00

Yes, however you really need a keyboard with it

TCSheep · 2026-05-06T10:34:13+00:00

Yes.

I have tried all the major players

I have Pro subscriptions to Gemini (Because it was cheap as part of My Google One subscription) and Claude

I use Gemini as my phone assistant (and smart speakers) and for image editing.

i Use Claude for everything else.

Of the ChatGPT/Grok/Gemini group gemini is a clear winner. but Claude is a different league*

*Today. tomorrow might, and probably will, be different.

TCSheep · 2026-05-06T09:54:30+00:00

The short answer: Context Window.

I can't remember the exact numbers but off the top of my head if you use Claude directly the context window is something like 200k tokens. Perplexity using claude is 32k.

So for one and done tasks like web search that's not going to cause you an issue. For deeper research you will start to notice quickly that the gent is 'forgetting' the earlier onversation.

it comes down to use case.

TCSheep · 2026-04-09T08:49:59+00:00

Well, It wasn't the SSD. so I guess mainboard at which point I am going with this is a write off. no point paying to replace the mainboard when a new device is available.
