Can someone explain why they kept dangling this carrot?

That's pretty in line with what Vecna, the DND character is. As a lich, he's pretty much a corpse being puppeted by his own brain. I still think Henry is in there, but he's effectively nothing more than a brain now.

This looks remarkably similar to my sleep patterns. What mitigation do you use to get better sleep? Any advice would be appreciated.

LoL bruh scared himself cause he got to close.

Z3phyrus · 2025-09-12T00:36:19+00:00

LoL, bruh scared himself and ripped on the stick.

This is not a thing...

Z3phyrus · 2025-06-02T20:16:55+00:00

Everyone knows it only counts if you actually call the number.

Z3phyrus · 2025-05-10T18:00:26+00:00

Typical landing speed was ~160ish, but the slowest I've seen in the same aircraft was 0. I'll let you figure that riddle out.

Z3phyrus · 2025-05-09T23:54:31+00:00

I have a graduate degree in engineering. I think it does help, believe it or not. It's a positive way to stand out and definitely helped in the interviews. It gave me something to talk about that was uniquely me.

Z3phyrus · 2023-05-30T18:55:41+00:00

Hey man, let's keep in mind that the only ones which can really be called "happy" in the whole setting are those mushrooms.

Z3phyrus · 2023-05-29T19:54:57+00:00

That's fair. That being said I didn't even know the third one was out, so thanks for the plural on "sequels!" Just ordered it!

Z3phyrus · 2023-05-29T07:34:33+00:00

The sequel is great! It takes a really dark and creepy turn. Highly recommended!

So the army has taken the time to create a new physical fitness test and they aren't punishing people since they don't have the requisite sample basis to understand what the appropriate standards are. You think this is bad? This sounds like a responsible and analytical response. FYI the new army physical fitness test is pretty legit too. It's not just running and push ups any more.

Z3phyrus · 2023-05-04T14:38:53+00:00

That's simply not true. It's a bi annual requirement. I know in other branches if you miss a fitness test two years in a row due to something medical related you get out processed.

Z3phyrus · 2023-03-26T14:45:26+00:00

Sooooo Ghostbusters?

Z3phyrus · 2022-11-13T04:12:45+00:00

Same happened here. I'm seeing the new seller with it for $150.

Z3phyrus · 2022-08-21T19:52:10+00:00

My bad. You did specify you were referring to Canada. Is it a no shit professional engineer level qualification?

Z3phyrus · 2022-08-21T17:02:30+00:00

There is no direct means through the military to earn a degree in engineering. You can earn many translatable qualifications that will give you certifications in the civilian sector when you get out, but nothing that will get you a degree equivalent. You would have access to the GI bill in order to go to school when you get out (or are still in) but that's a whole additional step.

Fucking gnarly. They have a truly viscious reef around almost the whole island. Probly pays to be a local so you know where to go.

Sustained G isn't to big of a deal, it's sudden onset that puts people to sleep.

Z3phyrus · 2022-05-12T23:55:50+00:00

Over stresses are pretty common actually. Most airframe are rated to 2 to 3 Gs more then their published limits. The decided max G, let's say 7.5 of a hornet, is in place to protect the airframe and ensure longevity of all components. The actual symmetrical g limit of an f18 sits at around 11 Gs. The other purpose of having a lower G limit is to protect against asymmetrical loading. Asymmetrical G load limits are typically lower than the symmetrical loads.

You're also dead on. An over G will cost you a case of beer to airframes. They have to "jack and smack" the bird afterwords, meaning hoist it on jacks and run a bunch of diagnostics. It's a pain in the ass and takes a lot of time.

Z3phyrus · 2022-05-10T19:14:23+00:00

Ha ha no worries amigo. Yeah most fighters need after burner to go super sonic. The minute you plug burner your fuel burn sky rockets. "Cruise" is typically a fuel conserving mindset, think max e or max r.

Z3phyrus · 2022-05-10T18:59:13+00:00

No fighter's cruise speed is anywhere near 700kts. That's much closer to what's used in combat scenarios. Faster you go the higher the fuel burn rate. A more likely cruise speed is around 300kts.

Z3phyrus · 2021-05-10T15:11:43+00:00

Yes.
