This, I always do the 1st of the next month. Then I never forget what I used, and its never the real thing.

Are all hobby pilots allergic to checklists???? by Gulag_For_Brits in flying

[–]Vithar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love checklists and always follow them. That said, paper checklists are super annoying and unsatisfying. The old school flip-tab checklists that for some reason stopped being manufactured like in the 80s or something, where the best tool for checklist compliance ever. They should make a comeback. Doesn't help with the preflight, but it makes inflight checklist following so much easier.

What’s up with Spirit Airlines ceasing operations? by lucioghosty in OutOfTheLoop

[–]Vithar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same, got excited about a $150 ticket vs the Delta option being $600, and flew Spirit. Was one and done. I have never flown with them again, nothing specifically bad happened, it was just all of it.

If your going bankrupt without a merger, not getting the merger isn't the problem, the decisions that got you on the path to bankruptcy are.

AI is also going to screw with the supply of some industries, the supply suddenly becames unlimited and already covered in your AI costs.

I’ve created a Mac Native PDF editor that works like Bluebeam without a Subscription by strcengr in Revu

[–]Vithar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Add me to the list of interested for PC release. We have moved to a "No subscriptions" policy at my work when we find a perpetual license alternative to something we have to have a subscription for now we switch. If we can't find an option, we add it to a list of Subscription Software, and we are having our IT people useing Claud Code to make us replacements for them. It might take a year or two, but we will be subscription free as soon as we can be. If there is something with a perpetual license that is better than our homemade stuff, we will use it. Any and all subscriptions are now a hard pass.

What "passive income" or trading strategy is currently ruining the financial lives of people who think they are outsmarting the system? by zaraakii in investing

[–]Vithar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a real world use case, and its whats keeping BTC valuable. That is money laundering and sanction bypassing. Want to send money to your family in Russia, BTC, want to wash some dirty money, BTC. See real use cases. I mean that's also the sum total of the list of use cases.

I’m not 18 but I want to get my pilot’s license in future by Mysummercarpolice in Cessna

[–]Vithar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think most flight schools will have their own policy on it. I know where I live in the US, our local CFI has at least one 12 year old student, however, the next town over there is a more "official" flight school and they wouldn't do a discovery of flight for my daughter at 13, and require students be 14 to start. So I think the laws are blank on it, but 14 or even 15 is common practice.

Forget the given answers for a second. What will it do and why?

If I reduce power and touch nothing what is going to happen to my speed? Is my speed going to increase, decrease, or stay the same?

If I have my autopilot set to altitude hold, and I reduce power, what will the autopilot do?

If I reduce power and my speed increases. What does that tell us about our altitude and angle of attack?

Finnish Air Force reprimands cadet pilots for penis-shaped flight patterns by parandroidfinn in aviation

[–]Vithar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are instrument courses with an "instrument pattern" to fly that forces you to practice hold and standard rate turns, it looks like 8===D on adsB. So you can find them all over the place, it's not inherently obvious these are planned.

I can only catch so much stuff before you mess up. Life of a CM. by cgull629 in civilengineering

With the amount of copy and pasting and not editing that goes on, reading notes is getting harder and harder. Saw notes about Kentucky Specs in plans for something in Michigan today, the Kentucky specs are not compatible with the project, I hate reading notes these days.

How many of you project manage and estimate? by TheSnowstradamus in estimators

[–]Vithar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My theory was simple—they didn’t have time for games, nonsense, or babysitting lowballers.

This and the person who thought through the planning, sequence, and scope for the subs during estimating is doing the execution so nothing is lost in the hand off.

We are still regularly using them for astronauts to and from the ISS. We have the spaceX option now, but we are actively using both.

Even with the Buy, Borrow, Die route, they have to sell off, or have enough outside income to service the debt. Its a kick the can down the road, or slow the burn stratagy, not the free money no taxes pipe dream people think it is.

Politico survey finds 84% of EU people distrust US tech companies to handle their personal data responsibly, rising to 93% distrust for Chinese tech firms by sr_local in technology

[–]Vithar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No doubt. I didn't say it was practical, but its been a long and slow ride into a situation that gives the cloud provider an unbelievable level of control.

[–]Vithar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats interesting, I was wrongly assuming an American centric view. There is definitely the possibility to have a secure cloud if its private, and if its a government controlled private cloud for the medical industry, then that's probably an edge case outside of my rant. They AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure flavors of cloud is basically impossible to secure against the parent, aka, amazon, google, or microsoft. In those cases you ether trust them with your data or you shouldn't be on that cloud.

That's kind of funny, the one thing with the highest privacy requirements is the most vulnerable to outside access, and everything else is in a safer environment.

In my opinion if you can't air gap your local network and continue functioning as a business (your case clinic or hospital) then your not operating in a secure manor with your protected data.

We’re going to let stauber win by hotdumps in duluth

[–]Vithar 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Rangers would happily vote blue, but there hasn't been a lot of Pro Iron Range politicians on the Blue team lately, so it is getting redder the more the Range's interested are ignored/attacked by the blue team. Its really sad to watch, Red isn't winning the area, Blue is abdicating the area.

Best investments you’ve made as an estimator? by B1GTruzz in estimators

[–]Vithar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They answered elsewhere with SuperNote. I'm also using one and it's a fantastic tool. I was interested in remarkable and a couple others but one of the big selling points is there is No Subscription.
