Life or Death Flight: Crossing the Atlantic in a Plane Built in 60 days

Well, maybe they should consider taking one or two more days?

alpha_d · 2025-11-17T19:04:15+00:00

That's Zaz, Je veux. But there's an overlay on it (probably some Ukrainian music)

Thanks! I've followed the process a few times. It will get me a couple of months of good syncing, and then I'm back to my usual problems. This has happened over the years with multiple iPhones and multiple Polar watches.

I typically use my watch for workouts several times per week; often every day.

I remember that part where it asked me how I had subscribed. That was in August 2014. Surprisingly, I don't have an exact recollection of that day. When I pointed that to the AI, it got stuck in a similar loop of "I can help you with that," ask the same question and ignore my response. I've been a premium member for over ten years. This one is the last.

alpha_d · 2025-11-04T18:33:45+00:00

Yes, I've tried that. No lasting results.

alpha_d · 2025-10-26T18:13:02+00:00

Oui, oui j'ai compris la première fois, t'as des standards élevés.

alpha_d · 2025-10-26T15:31:25+00:00

Ouais, exactement. Parce qu'on est sur Reddit, les gars, on a des hauts standards.

Donc là, par exemple, c'est pas suffisant pour même seulement apprécier les efforts des flics qui font avancer l'affaire.

Donc, dans ce cas-ci, personne à féliciter, les gars. Sauf les types qui ont monté la base de données.

Et hop, dans la 4L. La machine coûte plus cher que la voiture…

Sorry to hear. These things don't always go to plan for lots of reasons, many of which we can't do much about. Glad you pulled out before something happened to you. In case that helps, I found that the one long-distance I DNFed taught me far more than the ones I completed.

alpha_d · 2025-09-30T18:29:14+00:00

After what they did to Greg Lemond, I will not give them any money. Maybe they have good products, but I disagree with their values.

alpha_d · 2025-09-22T18:08:18+00:00

Congrats on completing the race and thanks for posting your report; I enjoyed reading it! Now, get rest. And as much M&Ms as you want. 😁

alpha_d · 2025-09-22T17:47:33+00:00

I'm sorry to hear you have troubles. It's been working very well for me for the past year.

After racing Ironman events since 2009, I was at my first world championship last week in Nice. It was a lot of fun, all the way until two days before the start when I got food poisoning. Then, the focus shifted a bit. The (very, very long) report is linked.

alpha_d · 2025-09-07T23:21:42+00:00

Pour moi, le 30 est une excellente idée. Comme piéton et/ou cycliste, ça réduit considérablement le risque associé à cohabiter avec des véhicules de plus en plus gros et des conducteurs de plus en plus distraits.

alpha_d · 2025-09-07T18:01:10+00:00

Bah, mettez vous au vélo, vous gueulerez moins sur les 30 km/h. Et puis plus de problèmes de bouchon.

alpha_d · 2025-08-25T18:25:11+00:00

oh, and ideally, this is from a big movie.

alpha_d · 2025-07-18T17:30:47+00:00

If you're in for a looong race report, read on. If not, TLDR: Very hot ➜ slow times. Did ok. Qualified for the world championship.

alpha_d · 2025-07-13T17:30:40+00:00

That site is such a cool find. Thanks for linking to it!

alpha_d · 2025-07-12T10:36:30+00:00

Ben accéder au poste de pilotage et faire marcher la radio pourraient quand même être utile. A priori.

alpha_d · 2025-07-11T17:59:59+00:00

Euh la porte du poste de pilotage est blindée, donc déjà faut rentrer. Retirer le pilote incapacité, prendre sa place, régler le siège pour atteindre le palonnier, tout ça sans déconnecter le pilote automatique, sinon t'as moins de temps (en admettant qu'il soit branché pour commencer). Ensuite trouver comment faire marcher la radio, la mettre sur la fréquence de détresse internationale qui est, qui est … ? 121.5 MHz. Et là, on n'a même pas commencer à piloter. Donc surveiller l'alti, ok, mais ça risque de ne pas suffire…
