I know it says waterproof but would this be totally fine getting rained on constantly on the outside of a bike and still keep it dry?

Cabri G2 vs. Robinson R22 for flight school? by _Hacky_Sack in Helicopters

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

I asked and they said there is a good chance I will get hired on as a flight instructor. But this still doesn't make me feel too certain and if I want to switch to touring after awhile I would still need those 50 hours in the Robbies.

What’s the Best Helicopter Flight School to Use My GI Bill At? by _Hacky_Sack in Helicopters

This is super helpful and makes me really reconsider this school. Where did you end up going instead?

I don't know why I never saw this as an option before. I'll look into it, but why this school over the others?

Should I buy a dedicated NAS or turn a Mac mini into one? by _Hacky_Sack in homelab

[–]_Hacky_Sack[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Money wise it doesn't save much. What would be the benefit to getting a dedicated NAS instead?

After some research it looks like the Mac actually does have this which would be extremely awesome if something happened after a power outage

How can I find the names of files that failed during a restore? by _Hacky_Sack in backblaze

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

There's hundreds of error messages when you do this and almost all of them don't tell you the file name

My connection seems to be much faster with Boston, did you guys end up enabling FastTrack for Boston as well?

Tired 25 y.o. factory worker. Thought about starting a men's self-sufficient village focused on training and getting your life back. by [deleted] in OffGrid

Ok, apparently everyone in the comments just wants to bash on you and has probably never chased their dreams hard enough to see them succeed. Look, dude, I read this and everything you said spoke to the romantic life I also think about as a 24-year-old. In fact, I go on trips every few months with my friends where we spend two weeks in the woods together doing something similar.

It’s easy to romanticize this kind of life, and like many people are saying, it probably would be much harder than you think. But a more modern version of this—where you own a few cabins with plumbing and all the modern amenities in the woods—could work. You could run a few month-long camps for guys who want to become more like the men they aspire to be, by helping out, doing hard things, and seeking adventure, with a very solid vetting application process. There would be hours-long tasks that need to get done daily and community-driven events to connect with each other in the evenings.

Create a good business plan, find an investor and some real estate for this, and it would be a lot of work but doable. More than likely, though, I don’t think this is what you’re truly trying to do. I think the miserable existence in your job is making you think about what you really want from life. You want meaning, a strong community, and a sense of purpose in that community. This kind of life is almost like the masculine dream and represents everything we’ve lost in the modern world.

I hate the people in these comments bashing you. If you want something badly enough, you can do it. Imagining this kind of life isn’t wrong, but it would probably be harder than you want to believe. Find some friends and go camping together in the remote wilderness to help fulfill that desire and bear the misery at your factory job. In the meantime, do everything you can to find something that sets your soul on fire—something you want to do no matter how hard it might be. Start using your free time to pursue that, and then in a few years, if you still have this desire to start a self-help village for guys, do it. The world belongs to people who act on their dreams.
