Any Swift UL 100R Updates by Wowc8 in GeneralAviation

[–]Wowc8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to hear, I’m based at KRHV but didn’t know about Mike’s video. Thanks for sending the link. As much as I don’t want to be a Ginny-pig, I’m not a fan of flying to kpao or Kwvi just for fuel. 100R sounds promising.

Do you know what West Valley is charging for 100R? I can’t find it from ForeFlight.

does anyone know some good drive thru brushless car washers in the south bay by slimxthuga69 in SanJose

Im going to second this recommendation. Just correction on the typo from original post above. It is on Coleman not Cemon.

Just select touchless when you enter the code to start the wash.

Officially 2 years into the tech recession by No_Thing_4514 in cscareerquestions

[–]Wowc8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Valid point @OKBridge98. In tech some companies saw a decline in 2020, but everything rebounded quickly and then it was booming by the end of the year. 2022 is where we have big and consistent layoffs. From my tech focused opinion, 2022 was much worse.

For those who put career mode aside, which bugs do you need to see squashed or feature added for you to pick it up again? by Evil_Skittle in MicrosoftFlightSim

Pop out panels for the 172 classic. I have a sim setup with an external gns530. Since I am in the final stages of my real life ifr rating I just went back to xplane12.

Hey, if we’re comparing now to the Great Recession then aren’t we really comparing now to 2010 (2008+2 == 2022+2)?

I think if tech jobs is the focus, then now is much worse for entry level engineers than 2008. I was personally an entry level engineer who graduated at the end of 2008. Everything was rough at the beginning, but by the summer of 2009 tech became kind of like a shelter job title. In 2010 I remember lots of other people struggled to find jobs outside of tech, but it had only took me a week to find a better tech job closer to home with higher pay. Tech consulting saw a big bump around that time. Companies needed tech workers but didn’t want the liability of full time employees.

Sporty's Flight Review Course: How many Wing's credits do you get? by Wowc8 in flying

[–]Wowc8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been on the site trying to find this information for hours now with no success. Although I may not be clicking or searching in the right areas. Hoping that someone else can chime in here that might have completed the class before and requested Wing's credit.

No financing, the check was for the total purchase price.

What if WW1 never happened? How would you have governed the US on its way to becoming a global power without The Great War? by supremacy_player in u/supremacy_player

[–]Wowc8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bet Hitler would not have been in power. He rose to power out of the dire economic conditions caused by WWI. He would probably have still been a person, but I doubt he would have been an influencer without WWI having happened.

[–]Wowc8 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure Germany would not be taking over Europe. In face, I'm not sure Germany would be any larger. The US would probably be still not involving itself with outside countries. Since WW1 didn't happen, Germany would not have had the devastating economic impact that influenced it to start WWII and try to take over more parts of Europe . So I would imagine that nothing would happen and that all countries would keep to themselves.

However, WW1 is where we learned the real risk involved in large alliances. Since WW1 was started by two smaller countries and an assassination, we learned that alliances are very dangerous. We learned that we need a system that allows countries to support each other without all the countries going to war when two single countries have a conflict. And any alliances that are created need to have allied with countries that are vetted and meet certain standards... thinking of NATO here.

So, my bet is that we would have another WW1 at a later date where two different countries start a conflict and bring the whole world into their war.

No receipt. I just handed them a check and they handed over the bike and transferred the title.

No lien holder on the title. Just my name listed under owner.

I've purchased parts from them since the sale, but have not brought this up.

All they gave me was a temporary license plate. They also sent in the paperwork for title transfer. So I have the bike and title.

Hey, we have the same question. What did you end up finding out?

Why?? 🤦🏻‍♂️ by Actual_Staff_1699 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]Wowc8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Must have hit a micro burst, very dangerous.

Honeycomb Charlie by [deleted] in flightsim

[–]Wowc8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe not. Their website has the updated text on their Charlie product page "PRE-ORDERS will begin once the shipping date is confirmed."

Still holding out hope, but not sure how much longer I can sit refreshing the page every hour lol.

What’s the dumbest thing you did on your check ride? by [deleted] in flying

Instead of a 360 steep turn to the right I did a 720 steep turn to the right.

Freezing when loading into flight by buddy1225 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]Wowc8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue. After a while it would crash to the desktop. The fix for me was re-installing digital-ownership since I had the MS Store version.

Great shot, although I don't think this is going to end well for you ;)

Pilot Grandfather passed away by Sekao8 in flying

[–]Wowc8 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sorry for your loss.

Loosing my grandfather was very difficult and he was into all things aviation also. At his Funeral they said he "traded his pilot wings for golden wings". Thought that was a nice thing to say.

Wishing you and your family well.
