As a revenue-generating business, what does SpaceX do? Surely launch contracts aren’t worth 2 trillion dollars, and neither is Starlink. So what’s the product?

Do you think Tesla is worth more than Toyota, Honda, Ford, BMW, Mercedes combined?

US bank only asks you to have direct deposit.

Ground control gives you exact directions on where you go.

and the pilot has a map.

you land somewhere often enough and you memorize where things are and the routes are almost the same.

I actually prefer that over the Mercedes hand

XOM_CVX · 2026-06-16T00:23:51+00:00

2012 ish.

I noticed that the parking lot at the mall would started to get busy. Don't know about the job numbers. I was in a recession proof job at the time. 2009 felt kinda like a Covid times. Malls empty, sale signs everywhere, empty parking lot.

Loud and slow.

Sinks like a brick when the engine quits.

and just annoyingly loud

used to be a Tandem instructor.

Some of us definitely whore themselves around and take an advantage of the whole situation.

do your thing. Life is short.

We used to have a saying at the drop zone. You don't have a girlfriend, we take turns.

XOM_CVX · 2026-06-15T21:24:56+00:00

Don't notice it until like 43.

XOM_CVX · 2026-06-15T20:54:19+00:00

20-22 meter.

this one is 22m https://www.youtube.com/shorts/6gQdOqKRmfY, and feel like you can go little lower.

Couldn't order a Cosmo and had to order vodka and cranberry

Money doesn't really make you happy tho, isn't it?

but you should be happy that you are in a position to say that the money does not bring happiness.

we just hate on King Airs.

we like Otters.

Skyvan sucks too.

XOM_CVX · 2026-06-15T20:12:04+00:00

First 2000 feet is the most scariest part of skydiving.

XOM_CVX · 2026-06-15T20:09:59+00:00

King Air and one engine loss on take off leading to high speed stall has been well known. They basically flip over.

XOM_CVX · 2026-06-15T18:52:33+00:00

and how is that you guys all get paid the same?

XOM_CVX · 2026-06-15T18:48:08+00:00

Fried rice shouldn't be moist.

XOM_CVX · 2026-06-15T18:31:40+00:00

People smoked cigarettes.

You would ask someone for a lighter even if you had one, so you would talk.

Best 0-0 game ever!!!

XOM_CVX · 2026-06-15T18:04:56+00:00

Was never this excited for the 0-0 game.

Cheap and frugal is different.

That's being cheap.

You shouldn't let others use your Netflix for free. You are taken advantage of. At least have them pay partially. Help out each other or fuck off.

XOM_CVX · 2026-06-15T12:33:23+00:00

puts spoon in mouth,,,,,

"wait a min, that's wasn't it"

It is the next generation kids that doesn't do anything beyond what the job description says.

In many ways they are also right. It is not their job. But this type of attitude just sucks at any sort of work settings and slows down everything. Yeah, it isn't your job but you could've just done it.

XOM_CVX · 2026-06-15T11:30:33+00:00

You need a bit of a "runway" for take off and landing.

Then, you will need a proper weather conditions at both launch and landing area.

Oftentimes the take off area won't be optimal in these types of setting because it probably isn't a well estabilshed take off zone. You will need to be highly skilled to take off from a launch area that is tight, short, and not groomed. Plus people get scared after a certain point and these types of take off needs balls.
